Softcapped nrg/nrg blaster help


StrykerX

 

Posted

So, as may be obvious, this is my first attempt at softcapping a blaster. He's currently a Nrg/Nrg/Fire blaster, but I couldn't figure out how to even come close to capping any defense. By swapping to Nrg/Nrg/Mace, and picking up weave, I can softcap S/L. At least according to Mid's. I both hoverblast and blap fairly regularly. I mostly picked stuff for S/L defense bonuses, and then filled the rest with things that looked cool.

I'd very much welcome any constructive advice. Cheaper alternatives, swapping out power X for Y, that kind of thing. He's still only 48, if that makes any difference. Thanks!

Your Mids data seems to be corrupted. Neither the datalink or the data chunk work... are you using the latest Mids version?

Sorry about that. My latest install/upgrade of Mids wasn't 100% successful. Let me know if you still have trouble looking at this newer version. Thanks again!

Looks pretty good. About the only change I'd make is trying to find a sixth slot for Power Bolt (maybe pull the stealth IO from Fly and put one in Sprint) and slotting that and Power Blast with Thunderstrike. The extra 7.5% Energy defense may be more useful than the HP and regen since that's about the most common damage type for non-S/L damage and several mezzes are Energy based. I generally use Thunderstrikes in every Blaster power that can slot them... it's just that good.
