I wouldn't say that they wouldn't play well together. The only part that is going to hold you back is the fact that you won't have access to Aim or Build Up. I have a 50 AR devices blaster and my only complaint is no Aim or Build Up. If you can get over that then the pairing should actually work well enough.
I don't know why else anyone would say that it was a bad combo.
Web Grenade: Useful for -50% Recharge debuff.
Caltrops: Causes enemies to flee, fleeing enemies attack less.
Taser: Stun - Would stack with stun from Suppressive Fire ( No special ammo loaded, all special ammo's turn Suppressive Fire into a hold. )
Targeting Drone: Great perception bonus. Never be blinded by night widows again.
Smoke Grenade: Prevent extra aggro, minor to-hit debuff.
Cloaking Device: Combine this with Super Speed and you have full invis.
Trip Mine: Invis in to a mob lay one of these babies down and click Hail of Bullets for a nice 900 damage to the group.
Time Bomb: Garbage!
Gun Drone: Extra damage, something for mobs to focus on instead of you. Easy to prema & quick to cast. Whats not to like.
Though I think an even better choice would be a Dual Pistols/Traps corruptor. With DP/Traps you'll still do plenty of damage and you will be safer to boot. You'll have tools to bring down really hard targets and tools to increase your damage. Plus mez protection from FFG!!!
Hi,
I was thinking of rolling a DP/D blaster for style reasons (he wouldn't have any actual superpowers), but was told that the combination doesn't play very well together.
I can see that having neither Aim nor Build Up will reduce my damage output somewhat, but is the powerset combination really that bad?
Thanks for any information on this,
