Well, if you want to compare powersets to powersets, AR isn't as strong as something like fire/fire. Honestly, though... IDC. It is a blast to play. One of my favorite toons is AR/Dev. I loved the effects, and not many things are as satisfying as unleashing Full Auto on a mob. Audio and effects... LOVE it.
In fact, on a different server my AR/Dev solo'd ITF at +0x1. Webnade kept the AVs from running off and out of range. He can fire farm at +4x8, but I have to be careful. Without the taunt to keep the mobs in AOE, they scatter and its tedious picking them off... Trops keeps the melee off of you. Scorpion shield plus def bonuses had him defcapped. Its a good build.
Of course, he was T4'd all across the board, it was like a 700 mil inf build, had all the bonus accolades, like TFC, Atlas Medallion, and whatever the others are... Can't remember off the top of my head. Lot of work to build him, but I thought it was worth it so I started another.
In any case, check him out...
