Yea I totally understand where you coming from, kinda like "if it isn't broke, don't try to fix it."
I am definitely just going to use your build as it seems to have better Defense but only sacrificing a bit of recovery.
Only thing I would want to change (try too at least) is to trade Hover for Super Jump... Just not a big fan of Hover... but well see!
Also I was wondering why do you have Recharge on Weave and Cloaking Device? Wouldn't it be better to put the Defense ones on? -
Quote:Ok so I took your advice, I especially liked the part about getting rid of 6 slot Caltrops! I moved those slots in a 6 slot Red Fortunes Weave and then also got rid of LRM Rocket (didn't know it took so long and what not so went with Ignite for that one).Build looks solid.
Nothing 'needs' to be changed, but I'd make a couple of changes. Ymmv and all that.
-build could use kb protection. swap a BotZ runspd/end for a BotZ -kb in CJ. one is fine for most blasters, but since you wouldn't really lose anything by doing it, i'd replace the BotZ runspd with a -kb in both SS and SJ for a total of 12 pts. most sources of kb in the game are mag3, more rarely mag10, end extremely rarely far more.
-caltrops doesn't benefit from accuracy enh, and in practice doesn't benefit much from dmg enhancement due to the fear. baddies don't stay on it for the full duration unless you immobilize them there. there are some nice bonuses in the set, but 1.88% ranged def for six slots isn't that great. I'd use one slot in caltrops (common recharge IO), and shift those slots somewhere more useful. 6 slots of trap of the hunter in web grenade (for 3.13% ranged) is one possibility, I'd most likely 6 slot Weave with Red Fortunes and move the extra slot to stamina. 3 pieces of pshifter will give more recovery and a bigger hp bonus, 2 endmods and 1 pshifter proc will give the best recovery.
edit to add: the Ragnarok proc is also fun for a single slotted 'trops.
-i don't find LRM rocket to be that useful due to its 5.87s (!) cast time. I rarely have 6 seconds to aim at something unless i'm solo. However, it's very high dmg and looks awesome. Ignite, while also marginally useful, might make a better 'one slot wonder'.
You can see your defense numbers with stealth suppressed by going to options-> configuration-> effects & maths and clicking the box 'attacked' on the far right.
I then took a look at the Recovery portion, I deiced to go with a 3 peice PShifter because the difference between PShifter Set and PShifter + 2 IO's is .06 per sec, so I opted for the PShifter Bonuses instead!
I cant really think of anything else but anything else would be GREATLY appreciated, I cant thank you enough for everyone's help with this!

Alright! Took you advice and wanted to see what you thought?
The only big difference I can see in the difference between our builds is that my Defense is ALOT higher then your build in the Retrofit thread. Other then that everything else is pretty dam close!
But in reality, I dont see a Blaster taking ALOT of damage, or atleast shouldnt! So am I doing this build wrong and should swap Fighting for Maneuvers?
Thanks again for all your help!

Thank you for the time, I totally understand where you are coming from. Guess its just going to take time / testing to get the basics down and figure things out!
I will definitely use your build first as a starting point, and I appreciate the time and information you posted.
Thanks, Gen -
Ive been playing with the COH Planner for about two days now, mainly using the AR/DEV refit post as a reference. The sets are 100% completely throwing me off! I was wondering if someone could take a look and help me out?
I mainly just wanna do great damage and with a decent defense.
Here is what I came up with so far.... Comments would be appreciated!
Thanks, Gen
