In the even that you do get hit, it would be nice to have some form of resistance to soften the blow so take tough as it gives a nice smashing and lethal resistance and you can place the two defense procs into it.

It looks very good, three suggestions.

Slot the Accuracy/Damage enhancement into Blazing Arrow

Slot the Celerity: + Stealth into SS it gives you pretty much invisibility.

Slot Performance Shifter: Chance for + Endurance into Stamina as it will give you more endurance then a regular endurance modification enhancement.

Good luck!

LOL @ Vaseline

You guys should make one of those for blasters

This is my fire/regeneration build and I suffer from builditis lol. Instead of the two miracles in fast healing there is panacea: heal and chance for hp/endurance and in tough there is gladiator's armor: resistance/endurance and + 3% defense.

Has defense, regeneration, and recharge.

What are you guys taking instead of Hasten?

RWZ challege was designed by scrappers for scrappers to show how tough they are. You have to fight a Rikti spawn at L54 with 3 bosses. You cannot use inspirations, temporary powers, and I believe that you cannot corner pull but that last one is debatable.

They have the same day job bonuses and are irrelevant because it takes so long being logged off to get so little.

[ QUOTE ]
You've played a controller right? Well take a controller and replace his secondary sets, which are buff/debuff, and replace them with the powers of a blapper.

You hold, stun, knock down, teleport, slow, immobilize your enemies then unleash your attacks when they can't fight back.

Much like a spider traps a bug, wraps it up, then starts chewing on it when it's completely unable to escape or defend itself.

[/ QUOTE ]

That makes a lot of sense and is pretty cool lol.

I do not destroy influence but I do my part to try and lower prices by significant margins on crafted rare enhancements and uncommon enhancements. I also list all of my salvage for 1 influence all the time.

So they're damaging AT that uses debuffs? That is VERY different from any preconception that I've ever had lol.

I am extremely new to dominators and have been curious for a while. What are they? Are they a ranged AT, support AT, melee? I am perplexed because they have ranged, melee, and support powers.

I like your sticky rod.

I will advise that before you decide on this build, go test it on the test server. It will save you influence and a respecification.

I like recharge and defense. I currently have enough recharge to run permanent dull pain and around 20ish% defense to all positions. I also have around 700ish% passive regeneration. I love my fire/regeneration.

That was awesome!

I'm not a blaster, I am a scrapper that is confused at times lol.

Thank you Umbral! That was a definite wall of text but I read it all and it made sense.

Can someone also teach me how to calculate DPS as well?

This is my fire blaster's build too, again alternating between build up and aim for my aoe but not to certain on the single target attack chain.

I know this is definitely the wrong section to be posting this in but this is where all the cool and smart people hang out lol. I need some help with calculating an attack chain for my capped ranged defense build for my archery and fire blasters.

Right now I alternate between build up and aim for my opening AoE attack but I am not sure what would be a good single target attack chain for my archery character. This is his current build.

300 dps? You would need a lot of recharge to do so, where is your math proving that?

I would love to do a scrapper STF on Virtue with my fire/regeneration character. Werner you've never done an STF before?

Small note 6 Thunderstrikes actually yields you 3.75% ranged defense bonus

You should roll a SD/SS tanker. They are absolutely brutal.
