If you dont mind the look of Ice Armor you might take it and try to stack as much Sm/Leth defense as possible. Kinetic Combats are an easy way to do this, but too expensive imo. plenty of other ways to get sm/leth def tho.

you don't have to soft cap your build. If you drop the Kinetic Combats you'd be sitting around 30% to sm/leth and you could simple pop a Luck inspiration to be back at soft cap.

perma jump is ---> /up 1
Here's my intended build for what its worth...since i dont like ice cosmetically i went with force mastery...but i'll prolly respec if i work out a build that works the way i want it too...atm the build below is 34.6% to ranged...as at least in my experience with this blaster...its the only damage that outright kills me. Now you might wonder "why not softcap it?" well...1. thats really hard for the powers i have and 2. its called a luck...not a big deal...especially since i would lessen the effectiveness of my attacks by doing so...and i'd rather have more recharge and close to softcapped defenses than softcapped defenses and no recharge...at least with this blasters playstyle:P
but i digress...enjoy and feel free to comment

Thanks for the builds guys. That gave me some good ideas and it is obvious I will have to shed more than the 800 million I originally planned for. I will look into the force mastery EPP and play with it a little bit. I,ll keep this thread updated with my final build in the future.
Hi blaster pros
I just came back recently and decided to roll a new main to get all that rust off. I tried different things such as Doms, def, controllers etc. Basically anything that wasn't a Brute/tank or scrapper since this is what I spent of my time before leaving.
I fell in love with my blaster and decided he was the chosen one. I'm lvl 43 at the moment and started to look at I/O builds. I'm not really good at it yet since this is a game mechanic that is new to me. My game time is pretty limited so I have to be honest, I didn't take the time to learn how to work with mid's yet. I took a look at a couple of build but am still unsure what I should go for.
I have 800 million inf to spend and want a build that would make me more survivable. The build is DP/MM/Ice since I do not want to go on the red side to get the scorpion ppp. Any help you guys can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
