Dreaded Wail hits things freakin' hard.. i like to hit things freakin' hard... so.. id go Wail... SAVE THE WAILS!!!! - Solar_Lunata
Cold/Water...mostly cause I don't see enough Cold Dom Defenders running around and it is an awesome set.
I love Storm, and it's such an obvious choice, I'm really tempted to go there, but I have a feeling there might be an overload of those, so...
Maybe an Emp/Water... Or a Water/Poison Corr..
Really, the water blast set looks great, but I prefer thematic pairings, and really, nothing other than Storm jumps out at me as a great thematic match.
It's funny, but I'm thinking it might pair better with some of the Troller/Dom primaries, but, of course, a blast set doesn't go with Trollers at all (theme-wise, yes, but mechanically, not so much) and it would need some work to port over to Doms..
Maybe what someone else said, and do a Cold/Water, and see if the name Liquid Nitrogen isn't taken yet, but skipping the Steam power might be in order then...
I have a feeling that TA/Water will be a very wicked combo. OSA plus all those aoe powers (two of which do fire damage) and you have one damaging defender. With recharge, you should have a crashless nuke rdy every group.
Somehow, water blast igniting a fire seems wrong. If you could ignite it some other way, and a water blast could allow it to spread all over the place, tho, that would be awesome..

True, but close to blaster level nuke damage in two powers (OSA + Steam Spray) for a defender seems very right. |

Then Sprinkle in Whirlpool, Water Burst and Geyser. I don't know how much damage that is, but somewhere along the lines of tricked out blizzard before you start putting in additional damage sources like pbu, aim, soul drain, etc. Without a crash.

Looking at this idea made me tingle so I simulated TA/Water with TA/Arrow and the build looks like it could be very, very nice |

TA/Water is what I've been planning for my first WB character (sadly, the name Archerfish is taken on Virtue) but one thing is a possible snag. If you put down OSA (which does Knockdown) and then drop Geyser (which does Knockup) on top of it to light it... wouldn't the combined effects knock everything out of the slick? Or would it? I'm a bit fuzzy on how that'd work.

I am curious on this as well, thoughts?

That is an interesting question. I'd like to know the answer to that one myself...|

Worst case though, you would geyser, then OSA, then Steam Spray.
And it looks amazing! This coming from the person who has 9 water toons! (Dont judge-its my element

It seems pretty innovative as far as blast sets are concerned. Not a lot of copy and paste powers. It seems very versatile but its to main things it does is slows and -defense. (With other great goodies)
Now as you can imagine I want to make a new defender with this power. I already have one of every kind of defender...but was wondering what y'all.might think will have good synergy with it. I would post a link to the vid but on my phone and not sure how to do that on here. I know...technology is not my greatest skill.
Idk which to choose but i think im really gonna like this blast set
