Respecing my Energy/Devices, bigger, better, faster

Hey fellow Blasters, Taceus Jiwde here.

So I am about to undergo a re-spec for my Energy/Devices blaster. I am doing some tweaks my self but as is I can currently Solo AV's (without lore pets) and I soloed Adamastor and Pylons with the help of the lore pets (Yes I know lore pets don't count as soloing.) Anyways though I want to max/min a few areas so take a look at my build and see what you can do for all those master builders. My defense's are higher than they show in mids, I have a few +1 ench's as well as Blessing of Tiekulu from DA arcs. Basically what I am looking for isn't really a complete overhaul. I want to increase my damage, endurance, and defenses as much as I can, while sacrificing as little as possible of what I already have set up. Below is my current build AS IS and just from putting in mid's I saw several things I need to change but please keep it to constructive criticism and stray away from destructive (IE. "Why did you take this power its stupid!")

I have a 5-6 billion budget so go nuts and show me what you guys think would make this character better, not different please. I do plan on getting Assualt as well as placing Ragnorak in posi's blast. Go crazy, have fun and thank you in advance I appreciate the help anyone has to offer

I'd actually suggest putting the blaster ATO in in Explosive Blast instead of Ragnarok or Posi's Blast. There's a decent amount of overlap in the set bonuses it provides and it also gives ranged def and a range boost. That plus putting thunderstrikes in your single target blasts should get you to just shy of 45% ranged defense.

I admit curiosity as to what AVs you've soloed though. The last time I tried on my energy/dev it didn't go terribly well. Of course that was ages ago ... back before IOs actually and I've never really thought to try since.


MA Arcs: Yarmouth 1509 and 58812

Well I cant recall all the AV's I have soloed. I soloed all of the Maria Jenkins arc, Lord Nemesis (with the help of Lore pets though and a war-burg so that is cheating I guess) all of the Viridan arc red side. Hro'toz The lord of war or what ever his name is (took several trys) Ghost widow in the Who will die arc (also took several trys) umm Ms.Liberty, Mynx. I have kind of lost count but on the harder ones I did have to use things like Lore pets, envenomed daggers and I am a bit ashamed to admit, I used a shivan on Ms.Liberty.

I couldn't tell you which ones I did solo and which ones I used pets on, I don't really keep track, aside from Tub Ci I did him solo but he is kind of a wussy AV.

I also soloed Adamastor (the new one) and a pylon but again with the help of Lore pets. Before people start getting elitist on me and saying that is cheating, is it cheating for a MM to use his pets? I use the powers given to me and utilize what the game offers for help when needed.

Thanks for the suggestions though I will add them to the build I am working on
