Fire/Energy/Force Blaster in need of help

Okay. I've got my primaries and secondaries set up in a way that allows me to focus more on doing as much damage to a single target as possible. Sometimes, I like to jump into the middle of a mob and use inferno (as long as I make sure to pack blues).

For my primaries, I took everything except for rain of fire and flares. For my secondaries, I took everything except stun.

My pool powers consist of Hover, Flight, Assault, Tactics, Grant Invisibility, and Invisibility

For my force mastery powers, I have Personal Force Field, Temp Invulnerability, and Force of Nature.

I'm also working towards getting the fourth tier in musculature boost as well as Ion Judgement, Barrier Destiny, Reactive Interface, Warworks Lore.

I was hoping for your advice on this one.

Get Flares. You can use Flares and Fire Blast while mezzed, so you'll want both of them because at high levels you'll be mezzed fairly often. Otherwise you'll only have Fire Blast and Power Thrust, and Power Thrust isn't likely to be much use since it's melee and it knocks things out of melee range...

(If you only team it's not as big a deal, but if you solo much at all you'll want Flares.)


Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

Thanks.

The defiance ability does make that happen. I tend to group a lot as I've hit level fifty and end up playing the ITF, BAF, and LS with tons of people. However, I do hope to improve this build to try my hand in Recluse's Victory against some of the better players.

I also realize that Leadership is nerfed for blasters. Meaning that blasters get the least benefit from it as a power favors Defenders by giving them the highest buffs. Blasters even get the lowest defense from that power set. Which means I'm getting rid of it once I respec.

I second this.

As an added note, you can achieve an attack chain of Flares-Fire Blast-Flares-Blaze with relatively little recharge needed.

A full single target annihilating attack chain, at range, that you still have exemped as low as level 13.
