Hello all, not sure if this is for the better or worse, but i have always been very into recharge, as you will see in my blaster build below. basically is this too much recharge and not enough other things like defenses?

i have my 5 LoTG's, looks like i also exceeded my 9% accuracy bonus, but that's ok.

Any suggestions? should i switch the sets in tenebrous tenticles, and soul tenticles? anyone have experience on which has more base damage or immob?

Just a few things from looking at it, I suggest:

  • At least 1 KB IO in one of your powers, travel or defensive is usually easy to work in
  • See if you can work the Grav Anc proc into your Tenebrous immob since that's the one you bee spaming the most more than likely
  • Get some kind of damgae into Abyssal Gaze, to me it's basically your t3 blast
  • Why so much Concealment? You could pick up Combat Jumping and still slot lotg and get better usage
  • I usually put more Heal slotting into Drain Psyche, since that is the most important part of the power IMO
  • Fly is overslotted with the current slotting of Afterbuner -- Take a look at the Totals Window > Misc Buffs for adjustments

So to answer your question: Yes I think you could give up some recharge, just a bit, and increase your survivability and efficiency quite a bit.

How do you want to play this character?
