Swapping Barrier & Force of Nature for Blaster Concept

No form of buff or enhancement - including the Spiritual enhancement - has any effect on Incarnate power recharge times.

I've played a capped Ranged/S/L Blaster before and wasn't too impressed, so I want to see how a very aggressive Blaster who swapped the T4 Barrier and Force of Nature back and forth has faired, and if it's fun to do. This is with the assumption that you get Spiritual for your Alpha slot. (I'm hearing that actually effects the recharge of your Destiny ability, correct?) Right now I have my FoN recharging in about 1.9 minutes without any of my Force Feedback's procing, which I have in several attacks in concept right now. Which kinda leads me to my next question: When the +Recharge from Force Feedback set procs, does it also effect the Destiny ability or just your normal powers? Anyways- if someone has played a Blaster with this concept please let me know if you've had fun and if it's effective! Thanks. |

I thought I saw somewhere that the global Spiritual + Recharge actually does have an effect on other Incarnate Powers- but hey- thanks for clearing up that part at least.
Now if I can just find someone who runs a Blaster like this?
Ping me at @Psion or Psion2.
I do and I wouldn't give up the S/L defense. I'd just keep layering it on. Also don't forget to pick up Eye of the Magus and Geas of the Kind Ones. Eye gives you another minute of God mode and Geas helps it all recharge faster.

So you faceplant often just running FoN up most of the time? I figured it would provide a pretty good buffer for longer range blasting builds.|

What powerset do you have, and what specifics do you experience usually on TF's/Hard mishes with that setup?
Because remember: FoN + Temp invul = Blaster capped S/L Resists at 75 % and at least 50% resists to all other but Psi. If thats not usually enough I'd like to know what scenario and and why it isnt usually, especially in a team environment?

Not often. It's an energy/energy/force I also use phase and PFF to pop in and out in high aggro situations or to splash the Alpha.|

Situations where its rough are the ones you would expect, Carnies, Arachnos, the Crystals and last part of the ITF where most of the damage is dark, those kind of things.
and +2 or higher and 8x. 25% of the damage is still too much if you are the only target. 50% is still far too much.
I tend to play in melee range and get and keep aggro because of it. The point of building like that is to push the envelope and I do just that.
