Fire/xxx blaster : COH - General / Guide - Discussions

i have some questions involving fire/xxx blasters:

A) What should the xxx be replaced with?

B) what should the build be directed to (im planning on fully slotted AoEs to knockout groups).

C) should i start with flares or fire blast?

D) how early should i get the AoEs? (fireball in particular)

E) what kind of pool powers would work well with Fire/xxx blasters?

I've noticed that blasters burn endurance like no other. Avoid powers that are always on like from the leadership pool.

the reason energy is the best secondary is A)by far some of the best melee damage for a blaster B)knock back which is always a plus for a blaster(which you won't get from fire)C)You get an end redux move that is extremely helpfull when firing off inferno (or anyother blaster endpower in that case)

going with devices would be the best soloing secondary...you wont have to invest in concealment powerpools, the dam from your secondary is on par with your primary via trip mine and plus you get a toggle acc booster. going with fire/dev would be the best soloing/powerleveling combo for a blaster
