Returning after 2 plus years, I figure my current build needs an overhaul. Would appreciate any feedback you build gurus may have as I'm still very bad at proper soft capping and the like. I'm open to changing anything I can as I have the free respecs. Thanks in advance!

Current build which needs a makeover:

Are you still wanting to attack from above with Hover?

If not, then I'd definitly take Burn and FSC.

here's an example of a ranged defense build, which might work. Had to sacrifice alot for the soft cap.

Ice Mastery is by far the best choice for blasters imo.

Force Mastery would be my second choice for PFF + Aid Self.

Below is my Fire/Fire/Mace Blaster. I went Mace to softcap S/L/E, which has been really nice. He's built as an AOE machine (Fireball, Rain of Fire, Combustion, Fire Sword Circle, Burn, and Blazing Aura). By the time I hit my second AOE, mobs can't run away fast enough. That's usually literally true, because I love to throw RoF.

The EndMods in Fireball and Rain of Fire are just there until Ageless gets built up. I'll probably throw a Javelin Volley Acc/End/Rech in Fireball and a Common Slow IO in Rain of Fire (maybe a Ragnarok proc?). Would also like to tack on a Nucleolus HO in Fire Sword, but not sure what I'd want to change to get it.

Thanks for the input everyone! I appreciate it. I will look these over then see about a few tweaks and more questions I am sure.

Oh and fire breath was purely RP so I might try to keep it. We shall see. Rather blast the living daylights out of everything than look pretty :P
