Energy blaster help.

I have an old energy blaster from just after IO's and am returning.

I have no real idea of where to start on re-building the character.
The character always runs with a great tank and a great defender. Soft capping defense or the like is not a priority maximizing damage is.

I would like the stealth pool and I like the Electric epic pool. But, these are not set in stone.

Lastly, I am newly returning so I am not super rich keeping a build to less than 300 million or so would be nice. Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

You didn't mention your secondary.

I'm guessing it's Energy. If you really want to focus on damage with an Energy/Energy then the Epic pool you want is Munitions.

I'll put you a build together focusing on Damage output.

Assuming for the moment that you are an Energy/Energy blaster, you might consider reworking the character as a Blapper. I did that with an Energy/Energy guy I had that I'd neglected for some time, and it completely changed the way he played for me. There are some great melee attacks in the Energy secondary and there's a certain visceral fun (for me, anyway) in playing a glass cannon character in melee range.

Just throwing it out there as an option since it seems you're looking to retool the character anyway.

I'd go something like this.......

It will be cheaper than a defense based build by far. I'd work on amassing some A merits for the really pricey IOs like the LotG +7.5s, Numina +/+ and Miracle +.

41.5% boost to global damage and you add 10.5% to the damage your teammates do from Assault.

2 different chances for build up procs one of which is in your fastest animating and recharging power.

9.5% defense to all positions, 30ish % resistance to Smash, Lethal, and Energy and a 60% global boost to recharge.

Alpha Musculature Core Paragon adds another 45% damage boost and Cuts ED by 1/2.

If you hit Aim + Build up, then defiance buff yourself with Total Focus > Power Blast > Power Bolt > Nova. You should be able to just about wipe out an entire, even con, 8 player spawn including bosses. If either of the build up procs fire just prior to the nuke you will wipe out the entire spawn except for that 5% of mobs that you always miss.
