Howdy folks! I just made a rad/fire blaster because I noticed that there is a lot of AoE potential with this power set combo. I'm liking it so far; having 3 PbAoE's at lvl 10 is dangerous and fun!
I went perusing around the forums, and it looks like building for S/L defense is the most efficient way to go for this build, so that's what I'm aiming for.
I do have some questions about certain powers and their usefulness though:
-Electron Haze
-Neutron Bomb
-Blazing Aura
-Proton Volley
In my current build, I have all of these except Electron Haze. I figured that if I'm in melee, using a cone with knockback in it would be counter-intuitive to the purposes of my build as well as to the intentions of my teammates. However, Electron Haze is a powerful AoE attack, and proper maneuvering can get around it's drawbacks.
I included Neutron Bomb because it can be used effectively at close and far range as an AoE. Never used the power before, but I think it's a good choice.
I'm considering Blazing Aura because the thought of having two damage auras excites me! I know that Blazing Aura's radius is much smaller than Hot Feet's. Is it worth the end drain to take Blazing Aura?
I put Proton Volley in because I think having a snipe on a blaster can be useful, and Proton Volley makes a really cool Star Trek Enterprise blaster cannon sound!
The biggest concerns I have with my build are endurance consumption and accuracy. Some powers are under-slotted for accuracy, but I think the global accuracy bonuses and Kismet should compensate for that.
So, here's my build, let me know what you think:
