War-Bonds - Victory and Justice for all! - Baseload - 05-02-2012

"As swift and sure as our victory over the Axis in WWII, War-Bonds returns to battle a new kind of threat which harries all those who cherish freedom and peace!"
I've never really focused on playing a Blaster before. I've experimented, but never inhaled. But looking to make a defensive/offensive build, I settled on this. I know this will be expensive as all get out, but I'm wondering what people think? Effective? Crappy? Did I miss something?
Help and constructive criticism welcomed.

- Sweno - 05-02-2012

I may be wrong on some of this (I haven't gotten a DP to 50 yet), but what I see off the top of my head:

Dual Pistols:

Dual Wield - swap out the Apocalypse (Damage) for Apocalypse (Chance for Damage). The proc will do more than +10% damage on average.

Exchange Piercing Rounds for Empty Clips. EC has a wider cone, and a shorter animation time. The lesser damage will be made up for by the fact that you can actualy hit more than one enemy with it.

Mental Manipulation:

This set seems like a bastard stepchild of Psionic Assault, and I'll be pulling my experience from that set.

Psychic Scream has a decent arc and does decent damage. I would take it over world of confusion. WOC never hit often enough for my taste, and it's better to make things dead before they reach you than depend on a very small toggle around you that *might* confuse them.

Also, Brawl?

I'm sure that others will be able to offer a more in depth teardown.

So, I checked out some of the ideas/suggestions and I've liked a few and should explain one of mine
1. I swapped the Apoc piece.  Seemed like a reasonable suggestion.
2. I dropped WoC for Psychic Scream.  I'll see how she does.
3. I took Brawl mainly for slotting 4 pieces of KC for the S/L bonus (HP Bonus is a plus).  I won't actually use it though.
4. Also, looking at swapping PR for EC.  It raises my End recovery and gets even more recharge.
Thanks Sweno?  Any other opinions?  I've posted the version using sweno's suggestion.
