Looks better, but I would seriously consider swapping at least one of the Obliteration sets for 4 Eradication and 2 Scirocco's. (I'd do both and have all 4 types in the ~35% range.)

Energy damage is the third most common damage type in the game, and you have a hole in your resistance to it, so it would benefit you greatly to improve your defense to it.

Hmm, I'd do 4 Eradication in Death Shroud and round it out with a Multi-Strike Dam/End and Acc/End. Those Obliterations are only reducing the end cost of it by 18% or so, so that's going to be an expensive toggle. In your armors it's not such a big deal, but Death Shroud burns more than twice the endurance of your armors. End reduction is your friend in that power.

Most of /Devices (that's the set blasters get) are click powers. The only toggles IIRC are Targeting Drone and Cloaking Device.

You really want Targeting Drone, if you don't have it yet, I advise picking it up (actually I advise respeccing and picking it up sooner)

Your key to survival with a /Devices blaster is keeping them at range. Web Grenade will help with that, and you probably want Caltrops as well (location AoE slow patch).

Skip Smoke Grenade, it isn't that great. You'll probably want Cloaking Device at some point, and Trip Mine.

With Trip Mine, you can lay a minefield and lure your enemy into it. Be careful when doing this, as it can be interrupted (so don't try to lay mines when you're being shot at)

Blasters don't get defense/resistance powers in their secondary like SoA do, in fact you picked the only secondary that gets a defense power at all (Cloaking Device), and it suppresses half it's defense in combat.

Blasters are designed to kill them before they kill you, and are usually pretty squishy. Most blaster secondary powersets have a mix of melee damage and active mitigation powers (meaning you have to actively use them to stay safe, rather than toggle up and forget about them). Devices is kind of an oddball set in that regard, as it lacks any melee attacks and it's active mitigation involves setting up your battlefield before the fight.

May I ask what powers you selected that led to you only having Web Grenade at level 23? I'm asking because Devices has a few powers that are useful that you should be taking much earlier.

Ancillary Power Pools are available to everyone, no matter what alignment they are.

You didn't need to become a hero in order to get them, you already had them as a villain.

However, if you want a hero AT to have a Patron Pool you have to cross over to villain side in order to run the arc you need to run in order to unlock it.

Oh, and if you ever plan on exemping with this character, take Follow Up a LOT sooner than 38.

And you slotted Weave, but not Cloak of Darkness? They give the exact same amount of defense, and unlike some stealth powers, Cloak of Darkness's defense doesn't suppress in combat. You lose the stealth, but you keep all of the defense. I'd definitely slot it and run it. (You can also set it up in the tailor so it doesn't turn you into a featureless black cloud. Figured I'd mention that in case that's why you don't seem to be using it)

I like 3 Eradication, 2 Numina's (Heal/End/Recharge, and Heal/End) and the Theft of Essence +End proc in Dark Regen. The Eradications I use are Acc/Rech, Dam/Rech, Acc/Dam/Rech, so they cover your recharge needs nicely. (If you need Dark Regeneration recharging much faster than that your build has bigger problems)

Gives you a little more E/N defense, some max endurance, 12% regen, and the truly awesome ToE proc. Alternately you could use Miracle Heal/End/Rech and Heal/End, if you feel like you need a little more recovery.

I'd also slot Reactive Armors in your resistance toggles instead. They give you about the same amount of enhancement, and they also give another 1.25% defense to both E/N and S/L.

And if your end starts to bottom out, you can always actually USE Conserve Power. You have it, might as well keep it in your tray for an Oh Crap button.

Why take Grant Invisibility and slot a LotG recharge in it, when you could take Stealth and have a power at 49 (that you can slot the same IO in) that is actually USEFUL?

Sure, you can give other people invisibility, but what if you want to ghost something at some point? Slap a Stealth IO in Sprint and you're good to go. And if you can afford the end cost, you can run Stealth and get a tiny bit more defense (plus slightly less chance of agroing nearby mobs)

Just food for thought.

Edit: D'OH! I skimmed over the build too fast and missed Stealth taken earlier in it. Never mind. Invisibility might be a decent option there though.

I shudder to think what else Fusion skipped. Skipping Active Defense on a Shield Defense character is no different than skipping Unyielding on an Invuln.

Getting mezzed for 25 levels on a melee character doesn't sound like a good time at all.

There should be a slider that lets you select what level the recipe is. However, that only works when you buy a recipe directly, you cannot choose the level of random rolls.

A random roll is always your natural level, sidekicking and exemping have no effect on it.

You can play just about any combination of characters and make it work, and work well.

For example, my wife and I had a perma-duo of an Ill/Storm controller and a BS/DA scrapper that was beastly together, even though on paper they don't appear to synergize that well.

A Dark/Fire tank, a Fire/Cold controller, and a Fire/Mental blaster seem like they'd work well together. The tank has mezzing ability in their primary that will stack well with the controller's mezzes, the controller has the shields to help the tank with survivability, and the blaster can lay the hurt on the enemy from a distance.

He said he was Stone/Dark right in the OP. Hence why he wants the KB protection.

I'm here for the community, since I work such strange hours and have a newborn son at home, I don't have much of a social life these days. The community helps me feel like I'm not completely isolated from the world.

I'm coming up on my 60 month badge later this month, and if anyone had told me I'd have paid monthly to play a game for 5 years I'd have called them a damn liar. But I have.

I met my wife while playing, and in a way it's similar to returning to the place we met every time I log in (I'm kinda sentimental sometimes).

If not for this game, I wouldn't have married the most wonderful woman in the world, my son would not exist, I wouldn't own my own home, I wouldn't have a steady job. In all likelyhood, if it weren't for this game I would probably be an alcoholic living in my parents basement with all kinds of mental and emotional problems. I can't say for sure, because my life didn't go down that path, but it's entirely possible City of Heroes saved my life. All because I happened to log in on a particular day, and met a particular person.

That's why I'm still here.

Multiple castings of Enforced Morale don't stack everything the power does, but I'm not sure if the recharge component is one of the things that doesn't stack.

Just mentioning it so it doesn't come as a shock if the recharge doesn't stack.
