Wow that build looks great ele, thx for your advice! I do have a question about getting patron powers. I dont really play villains that much so do i have to make my hero a full villain or will vigilante work. and also where do i go to get the patron powers?
Turn into a full villain (or go to rogue, that works too).
Find a patron in Grandville, any one you want, and start their mission arc.
Complete the arc and you will be granted a respec and access to all of the PPPs.
You must be 40+ and vill/rogue, not vig.
Just finished going vigilante, once i get the patron power will i be able to go back to being a hero while keeping the patron power? cuz i read it say you will lose any allignment powers when switching, does that mean villain powers only if you stay villain/vigilante?
Alignment powers aren't the same, you'll keep your PPP. Alignment powers are things like Call to Justice and Frenzy.
You can even respec after returning full hero and pick PPPs again.

like I said, go full circle- back to being a hero, and then reinforce your morality to start getting Call to Justice (one week as a hero and you'll get this power. It will stay as long as you odn't change alignments again). Call to Justice is an awesome AoE team +dam +tohit.
By doing this repeatedly, you will also start obtaining A-merits, which can be used to purchase very valuable IOs (LotG +7.5% recharges, among others). If you're not slotting them, you're selling them to buy what you want.

Yes, the power description says it is only -40 end to self when firing. Yes, that is a lie. I just tested it ingame on some level 40 rikti in FF. When from 112 endurance, with no powers running, all the way down to zero after the nuke fired. |
While I wish the bigger nukes didn't punish you quite so much, it's fair to say that if Thunderous Blast didn't have a crash, it would be rather unfair. Decent thread in the Blaster forums on the subject of nukes and their crashes, for what it's worth.
It's a fun nuke, though. Love the visuals on it.
One of the few powers worthy of that animation. ET is also appropriate. Bitter freeze ray? Hell no.

Part of me wants to play Elec/Energy now. Too bad my character slots are tied up and needed for other projects.

Working on getting a Ragnarok set slotted into it to help it recharge a lot faster (Positron's Blast just isn't doing it for me).

Interesting question I don't know the answer to:
If I put a +END proc into Thunderous Blast, would it work?
As in, I fire off Thunderous Blast, I get drained, then when it hits I recover some END?
Or would the side effects of Thunderous Blast prevent it?
The Performance Shifter proc fires on the target of the power. So you would only be giving your enemies endurance.

If I opt not to use the Ragnarok: Chance for Knockdown, I'm trying to think of something else fun to put in that 6th slot. |
That'd be better in ball lightning/something you fire often.
