I never used to play Blasters much on live, but now I have a few. I always preferred melee types, but I like to joke that my Psychic Blast/Martial Assault Blaster is my favourite Scrapper. The concept was a martial artist who has some mental abilities, so I focus on melee attacks (adding in the Fighting pool and Sands of Mu) with the occasional Psychic attack when things get hairy. She is remarkably durable, easily able to handle melee against full groups of opponents, and a lot of fun.
Good video.
That is a great story thanks for sharing it.
I see a LOT of players hitting enemies with damage over time or stun attacks and they'll continue to attack that same enemy until they drop. Meanwhile, other enemies are beating on their toon and the player is just ignoring them.
Here's the trick, as soon as you give an enemy a Condition, hit the key to switch to the nearest enemy to your crosshair and attack them next. Just wash, rinse, repeat until all enemies lay broken at your feet.
That is a good tactic to use and I do use that sometimes. It really depends on what type of blaster I am playing. For instance, if I am playing an elec/elec blaster I drain them all and then just take my time beating up on them while they stare at me.
@@ControlledChaosGaming I think the trick with any build is to ensure you're dishing out more damage than you're taking.
@@kiillabytez I 100% agree with you on that. However, I have found on my live streams that the reverse can be the same and entertaining for the viewers.
Just for kicks, I remember I did a max range bow blaster. The range was INSANE. I would be up on tall buildings in PVP zones then see someone super speeding through and snipe them from atop the building and take off half their life. Then used invisibility to be gone as they try to figure out what the heck hit them in a zone with out sniper mobs.
Lol that is a great story thanks for sharing it.
That's cool. How did you get so much range? Just from enhancements?
@@ScaleCrawlingenergy manipulation has a power up that can be permanent for a huge increase range.
By far my favorite archetype. I don't remember if it was in the original game; but I love that Blasters are the only archetype that can still attack (first power options) while being held or slept.
Yes blasters where in the game from the start.
@@ControlledChaosGaming yeah, I meant the ability to still attack while held / slept. (Olde enough to remember beta).
@@33TimberWolf The ability to use your first powers in your primary and 2ndary powersets while held or slept is on the newer side. It was available towards the end of Live if I remember right. It came after they got rid of the defiance damage buff.
@@TheLadyLuck523 That's what I thought. It makes Blasters much less squishy and gives them advantage that other classes don't have. Which makes them much easier to solo. =P
ah ok sorry about the miss understanding, we will just blame this on my shaky eyes that caused me to miss read it. Yeah, that's it we will go with that.
I recommend hover for blasters. Avoid a bunch of damage and then focus on ranged position defense as you level. Bunch of ios give travel speed boosts for hover. usually 7.5% often for any 2 ios in the set.
Those are some really good tips thank you for sharing them.
My current main is water blast/ice blaster
Based.
My first character was a Radiation blaster.
That is cool my first character was an elec/elec blaster.
How should I slot a Fire/Fire blaster, and is Sorcery a good additional powerpool? Mostly do team missions and can usually stay out of harms way, so I want to maximize my damage/control. I'm not much for buffing others. I prefer to just attack.
Focus on Accuracy and Damage enhancements, as the fire secondary effect is a DoT. So your damage enhancements will work to make the DoT effect stronger.
I am doing fire/ninja any recommendations?
The main thought I have on this one is that the fire abilities make the main focus damage. For the ninja ones focus on the secondary effects as this would make a great sniper/assassin build.
i only play blasters. i used to play this back in 2019 have there been any major changes to peacebringers i like the class alot. My normal blaster build is fire and ice but i guess i could do something better is fire blast and ice secondary a bad choice? what do you think of fire primary and Darkness secondary good combo or should i just run my fire and ice build?
For your first question about peacebringers it depends on what server you want to play on. I know Rebirth made some changes to them in R i4. As for doing fire as primary and Darkness as secondary, I think that would be a fun build.
@@ControlledChaosGaming Thanks for the Advice. im experimenting with some power sets that i really like. im not good at coming up with cool character costume designs and names
@@tylerneal5390 Even creative people like myself run into that problem. I have a video that goes over this exact issue and how to get ideas. czcams.com/video/sgxisguL7Gg/video.html
@@ControlledChaosGaming homecoming for me
@@ControlledChaosGaming Thanks i finally got my first lvl 50 its my Ice/fire blaster. next im going to work on my Electric/dark dominator. I really enjoy Range types that have a lot of DOT and AOE damages. thats why i tend to use Fire blast a lot. i am thinking of giving Psionic blast a try i really like that idea but heard its weak vs Clockworks. there just so many cool blast powers that i have not used yet like water and a few others
Do you have DP/Devices spec??
Not yet I do plan on doing archetype powerset builds in the future. Right now I want to get all of the videos about archetype done as the private servers are seeing new players that have never played the game.
