Ok guys, this is my first time making a guide so bare with me. The Idea of energy/Ice can be different for everyone, it does have a slight trollerish side to it that u can dabble in, but I decided not to. I will Explain each power and rate it from 1 to 5 and tell you why, and if I suggest u get it ill tell you the slotting
Energy Blast
Power Bolt: A quick attack that rapidly hurls small bolts of energy at foes, possibly knocking them down.
Fast, but little damage. Damage: Minor Recharge: Fast
Rating: 4 I give this a 4 because 1) With the new defiance it is needed for the most possible damage while mezzed and 2) it is a nice filler attack even at higher lvls. I suggest only slotting 1 or 2 damage with 1 acc, save slotting for other powers
Power Blast: A much more powerful, yet slower version of Power Bolt. Power Blast sends a focused beam of energy at a foe that can knock him back Damage: Moderate Recharge: Moderate
Rating: 5 This is the power that would be next to Fire Blast, and Aimed Shot, it has moderate damage and a moderate recharge, there is no reason in not getting it and it is also needed for mez damage. Recommended Slotting: 3 Dam, 2 Acc. 1 End reduc
Energy Torrent: Unleashes a cone of energy that knocks a foe back. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Slow Rating: 4 I would recommend this power because it does nice damage and has some sweet Knock back, it may annoy your scrapper or tanker though, so use it as the first attack and let them fight em from there. Recommended Slotting: 2 Dam, 2 Acc, 2 End Reduc
Power Burst: A short ranged, but devastating attack. Damage: High Recharge: Slow Rating: 5 Get it, its very nice and has good damage, the range might annoy you so…Recommended Slotting: 3 Dam, 2 Acc, 1 End Reduc (or range is you want more distance)
Sniper Blast: A focused blast that can travel great distances with high accuracy. This power can be interrupted. Damage: Superior Recharge: Slow Rating: 5 I love this power, combined with Build Up and Aim I can take out +1 to +3 minions in a single shot. Recommended Slotting: 3 damage, 2 Acc, and 1 Interrupt Time
Aim: Aim greatly increases the Accuracy of your attacks for a few seconds. Slightly increases Damage.
Damage: N/A Recharge: Long Rating: 5 Wonderful power especially when combined with Build Up; it adds 100% Accuracy and 50% damage when used and works well when fighting bosses. Slotting: 3 Recharge Reduc
Power Push: Pushes a single enemy quite far but its not worth wasting a power slot on this, I totally suggest not getting it, its only usefulness is a perma knockdown, which it can do. Rating: 1
Explosive Blast: Hurls a blast of charged energy that violently explodes on impact. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Slow Rating 3 This is a Ranged AoE attack that can knockback. It comes too late and it has low damage, I would skip it, but it if you really want an AoE, its not totally horrible lol
Nova: The Debion of Nova is : Pure PWNAG3 Get it, slot it with 3 Dam and 3 Recharge, relying on Acc insps and BU and aim for accuracy Rating: 10
Ice Manipulation
Chillblain: You have to get this power, so my rating is 5 lol, it’s a single target Immobilization and its ok for runners, I only suggest 1 acc in the beginning slot.
Frozen Fists: Melee power with some cold Effects. Rating: 1 I had it, I respecced it away, it’s melee and its not worth the slot.
Ice Sword: Read Above debion
Chilling Embrace: ok, I respecced out of this, but I can see why you might get it, it slows and has a damage and recharge debuff. Rating: 3 This is an opinionated power, and just wasn’t for me
Build Up: Greatly increases damage for a few seconds, also slightly increases accuracy. Rating: 5 Recharge: Long Get it and slot it with 3 recharge Reduc enhs
Ice Patch: Makes a circle of ice around creating a Knockdown effect to all enemies around you. Ok, this one I didn’t like, but it is good and im gonna give it a…..Rating: 4 I wanted room for another power and I gave this one up, I would suggest getting it, but its not a Z0MG!!1! I gotta have it!!1! power.
Shiver: You blast forth a wide cone of chilling air that dramatically Slows the movement and attack rate of nearby foes. Recharge: Slow Rating: 3 Read Chilling embrace debion minus the damage debuff.
Freezing Touch: This is a melee hold and I like it, I know I don’t like melee for blasters, but this is a hold. Rating: 4 Slotting: 1 hold 1 acc 1 recharge reduc
Frozen Aura: An AoE sleep, not worth it unless u solo a lot, the enemies will wake right back up after you teammates hit em.
Power Pools:
OK, Im not gonna go into detail of each power in each pool, I suggest Hasten in the Speed pool so that you can get your attacks faster for more damage. Whichever travel pool you choose is your choice. Stamina pool is a must for stamina. I have tactics and maneuvers from the leadership pool, easily skippable and im thinking of respec'n those out. Hover is not a bad idea for that extra defense while fighting.
Epics:
I’ve only had the pleasure of using 2 of the blaster epics, so I will only be detailing on those 2, feel free to use any epic u feel is right for you.
Cold Mastery: I like this pool for Hibernate which is like ur panic button, u become invincible for 30 seconds and rapidly gain health and endurance but u are held until the 30 seconds are up or u deactivate the power, only con is the recharge. Frozen Armor offers defense to smashing/lethal damage and resistance to cold damage
Force Mastery: Though I like Hibernate over Force of Nature (God mode) this pool is nice but take the personal ff instead of the repulsion field, which is a major end hog. Temp invuln offers some lethal/smashing damage resistance, which is always nice
Enjoy your blasting and Good Luck!
