Striker Build

Even so, you're telling me you're going to charge a Corkscrew for every time you want to deal huge mob damage? Even with the damage and target nerf, Blast can put out some big numbers. SSK is annoying to use while getting knocked around in mobs. At least with blast you can deal heavy damage and have Energy Charge's stance effect to keep you grounded.

I'm not denying how powerful it is. I've said it's still more powerful than SSK, it's just that you get it too late in the game for it to get a lot of use and it isn't really that useful until near max. I guess the only reason i say this is because our builds are different. *see below*

Also, sharks isn't better immediately. It is a good balance. You'll still be using blast a lot until sharks can do decent amount of damage. So until like 77, you'll be mixing the two (unless you are training at less mobby places where you will use blast even longer).

The 10-15 levels kinda accounted for that i guess. My build does ImHP -> max mastery -> 6 booster -> max CSB -> max lit charge (because you KNOW this will let you kill way faster than blast at slimies and truckers) -> 10 nrg charge -> max blast. That means by the time blast is useable, i'm already approaching or at level 60.

The funny thing is that i'm not even making a striker, lol.
