Overview

ParagonMarket PowerSet BeamRifle.png

Beam Rifle is a primary power set for Blasters, Corruptors and Sentinels, and a secondary power set for Defenders.

"Your weapon of choice is a high tech beam rifle capable of firing a wide variety of energy blasts at your foes. Your Beam Rifle attacks will have a greater potency while Disintegration is in effect on your target. Additionally, single target Beam Rifle attacks used on targets suffering from the Disintegrating effect will have a chance to spread this effect to nearby foes. Beam Rifle focuses on dealing a great deal of single target damage, but has a few area of effect attacks as well."

BeamRifle ChargedShot.png Charged Shot

By charging up your your Beam Rifle, you're able to launch a concentrated blast of energy at your foe to cause High Energy damage. The impact strikes with such force that it can knock your target off their feet. Charged Shot causes additional damage if the target is suffering from the Disintegrating effect. In addition, targets already affected by the Disintegrating effect have a chance to spread to 3 nearby targets. This Disintegrate Spread effect can only hit targets that aren't already affected by the Disintegrating effect. Disintegration Spread causes Minor Energy damage over time.

BeamRifle Disintegrate.png Disintegrate

You fire a stream of energy at your foe which causes them to slowly disintegrate and suffer High Energy damage over time.

Using Beam Rifle powers on targets affected by Disintegrate will inflict additional effects. Additionally if Single Shot, Charged Shot, Lancer Shot and Penetrating Ray are used on a target suffering from Disintegrating, they have a chance to cause this effect to spread to up to 3 nearby targets that aren't already suffering from Disintegrating. Targets affected by this Disintegrate Spread will also suffer some Minor Energy damage over time.
