City of Heroes: Pistols/Fire blaster

Zouichi is now level 21, but doesn't have any enhances yet cause I'm dirt poor XD

This is my general AoE blaster strategy: Build Up + long range cones (Empty Clips) and targeted aoe (Bullet Rain), run in and blap (Fire Sword Circle + Combustion), jump back and switch back to ranged attacks. Blasters don't have any mez resists, so you're safer at a range, BUT DELICIOUS FIRE SWORD IS ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN YOU'RE IN MELEE.

Zouichi is hunting THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME -- MAN. Well, actually, the dangerous part is that there weren't any heals on the team and I often forgo backing off in favor of DAMAGE DAMAGE DAMAGE, so I'm the only one whose health is in the red. Well, what's more important as a blaster, staying alive or being the one to do the most damage?

Still working on your DP/Fire Blaster? I'd love to know what you think of it at higher levels.

@KitsuneNights Zouichi is now at 41. I have to say that the mininova you get as the last power in your primary is nice and you get to use it pretty much every group.. but you don't even need it with pistols/fire, really. This is because pistols/fire blasters are UNREPENTANT KILLING MACHINES.

The only problem is that you have to watch your aggro without a good tank around because you're doing so much damage.

@TheTetradecimal my dp/fire has every dp power besides the stun. she also has fire sword circle. blazing aura. no consume burn and i think thats it. (Should i drop any of these and go for. say. fighting?

@Obliviongatekeeper My policy has always been that optional def/res powers are best with archetypes that can stack a bunch of them (i.e. 5% def is great for an /SR scrapper, and crappy for a squishy), and that blasters should just blow things up. If you like to play it safer, or you're not using some of those powers, go for it? BUT NOT FIRE SWORD CIRCLE. NEVER DROP THAT.

@TheTetradecimal well that does it! I am making a DP/Fire to go with my DP/EM now XD thanks for the replay and heads up on /Fire
