Looks shiney =) Yours does rather

Now, I've never actually played a defender I will openly admit, not even really looked at the AT at all until about an hour ago, but I got fiddling with Mid's with one and came up with the following build.

Would this be any good?

Im up for this if Im about =D

Star Frost: Frost/Energy/Cold 50 Blaster

Thanks for the input, will try to make up my own build now with those as guides, such as removing flight and whatnot.. will see how it goes =)

And, out of interest, what would a MA/DA build look like? Though without flight, really dont feel it suits a scrapper that well, but thats totally personal preference

So I have my lil 26 claws/regen wolverine wannabe scrapper but it just feels a bit too slow for me, sure I've got the survivability of a lump of granite, but the problem is a shocking lack of stuns, disorients and the like, maybe I've gotten too used to my EM/Nin Stalker or something, but I decided to start looking at other builds that might interest me and (after watching Advent Children earlier today) came to the conclusion of 'Oooh MS/SR might be fun', the unfortunate realisation that followed was given that I've only been playing for little over a month I am pretty much clueless about builds still.

So my question/request is this, can someone help me make up a nice MA/SR levelling type build? Or show me examples of builds that I could customise or adapt for my new scrapper? =) No flight though, Im addicted to Super Jump after I got my Stalker up to 30 and have that ability

Combichrist for my Stalker or Scrapper, 'Today I Woke to a Rain of Blood' being an especially fitting one for my Claws/Regen scrapper.
For my lvl 50 blaster, erm... not too sure really.. if I wanted to be cheesey would say 'Cold' by Static-X, given she's frost/energy/cold.. butin truth of late its been Grendel I've listened to most when I played her, or Feindflug.

Oooh, wasn't aware of that, will wait until i12 before deciding on my second Blaster, though given various reasons Im still undecided on my primary again =D

Was involved in one of the mothership raids with my toon named Star Frost recently, was brilliant fun and I enjoyed it immensely.. Especially nice for a newbie like me to ask casually in broadcast channel if I can get SK'd and INSTANTLY getting invite.
Hopefully there will be more soon =)

That is the exact level that I picked powers while levelling my blaster, it worked fine for me, sure maybe X could have been put before X.. But I didn't do that so for me to post 'oh this is a different build to what I levelled with' build wouldn't work as I wouldn't have tried it out and the like

Dont think I made myself clear, the character is nearly 50 so me posting that wasn't to get critique, was to help any new blasters incase they wanteda build of instant cast ranged nukes and fair survivability

For anyone wanting to level an Ice/Energy toon up, wanted to share the build I used and grew to love very quickly..

Hmm, coming back to this now that my Ice/Energy Blaster is drawing in on 50 (only been playing 3 weeks =D) and was wondering if someone could knock up a build for me to level with for an archery/dev blaster at all? I mean a full one and all that, what would be best etc for me to go for.. I love the blaster AT hense wanting another one to level at the same time as my lobsteroctopus ^_^ (Oh... no set enhancements for the main levelling build, just shop bought ones pwease)

Arg, bumping this up, I posted the second link in the thread as a 'is this any good' then went and continued following the first one, which ofcourse leaves me in a problematic situation as I have just hit 13 with my ice/energy blaster..
Can anyone work out a decent build from the first post I made (aka the OP), bare in mind I have no idea what blapper or whatever means though..
But I like to mainly fight at range, using power thrust to push mobs to range if they get to close and the like..

Just need a build roughly based around the first one from about 14 onwards with where i need to slot things and what with, then will find an actual good build at 24 to respec to

Sounds like a really nice bunch of people in this SG so good luck finding people =) I'd have a go at joining myself if it wasn't for the fact I'm level 9 and a total noobie to the game

PvE for now, I've not played for long at all (under a week) so would rather get the hang of PvE before anything else

Wow, thanks alot Cap'n, I didn't expect such a thorough responce but am hugely greatful, when I hit higher level with my little blaster I'll definately give this build a try (aka when I can get the special set thingies =)

Just.. Thanks!

Worked out this new build to respec to at 24 or whatever level it is, is it okay?

So I decided archery/devise wasn't for me so made a new Blaster, decided on Ice/Energy as it sounded fun to me for various reasons.. I have a rough build of what I intend to go for as shown below...

1) Ice Bolt
1) Power Thrust
2) Ice Blast
4) Build Up
6) Hasten
8) Frost Breath
10) Aim
12) Hover
14) Fly
16) Freeze Ray
18) Hurdle
20) Health
22) Stamina
24) Bitter Ice Blast
26) Combat Jumping
28) Power Boost
30) Conserve Power
32) Bitter Freeze Ray
35) Bone Smasher
38) Boost Range
41) APPs

Now I was wondering, can anyone offer me any better advise on a build and the slotting thats best to take at which levels? I've searched the US forums and theres a distinct lack of stuff covering this...

Thank you in advance

Im eternally in your debt =D

I'm sorry if there is already a topic on this but I couldn't find it, I have recently started to play City of Heroes and as my second character decided to make a Blaster.. But I realised a wee bit too late that I really dont know what to do..
So I was wondering if anyone could help me here, with what skills to take at what levels and the like?
As the topic says my Blaster is Archer/Devise.. any help will be greatly appreciated
