Looking for an effective elec blasterX3 build

it doesn't need to use all of the blaster power just trying to make a very powerful build

but build a a horrible weak point of mine.

any help would be much appreciated

Mystic_Amethyst's guide is one of the most comprehensive guides for Electric/Electric/X Blasters. The guide is a older and certainly will not reference things like Issue 18 (Going Rogue) but it will provide the reader with a good understanding of the ins/outs of the sets.

I could post up a build but it wont apply to you if we have different tactics. (IE I play my Electric/Electric/Mace Blaster in melee range but you may be a hovering ranged type of blaster that only uses melee attacks when critters get close to you).

Any chance you would mind still posting your build? I am thinking of rolling a eleX3 blaster but was trying to look for ways to make him not so squishy(besides draining all the end), without gimping my recharge etc.

this is basically my set-up

it's not great ( and the IOs I'll be probably be starting from scratch anyway since mine are all junky :P)


what I'm going for is sort of a balanced build, I spend a alot of time in melee, but I usually start out distance and run forward.

I'm also trying to minimize attacks I don't reall use like Voltaic Sentinel.

I would think with the changes to fitness and staying in melee alot I would prob drop tesla chages, VS, and zapp and go for some of the fighting pool for higher def or something along those lines. I have not build my mids yet but guess I should start soon. With the alpha slots coming in I would think I could either, focus less on recharge and more on def and then get the extra recharge from the alpha slot or vice versa. I know that there are not many pwrs to take for upping def though as a blaster so If I can get the IO's for Defense where I need them and build up more recharge with the Alpha that should round him out nicely no?
