Fire/Dev, Fire/TA, Beam/Dev, Beam/TA, Elec... Start from the left, and stop when you find the one that you want

It is mostly underwhelming

It's because Psi had Drain Psyche, Dark has Life Drain and Rad has Radiation Siphon and is a decent set. Fire Assault is a strong range set.

Straight out of the box, the best ST will come from Fire Blast and Beam Rifle Mix in some melee and the three best to pair Fire/ with are Earth, Martial and Ninja. (Temporal is a contender) If you stay at range then the three best are Devices, TA, and ??? Maybe Plant, Temporal, or Energy depending on your preferences/goals.

The reason I said Dev and TA don't count is because they don't have melee attacks. Not that one can't be in melee range, especially with DP and its quick recharging PBAoE Nuke. So generally, if one is a Blaster and they omit melee attacks from their chain, then they are leaving a lot of damage on the table. If one wants a pure range blaster, then Beam and Fire are the best bets. But of course people can do whatever they want.

Sentinel is blaster light on the blast side, but I still have had fun playing them. I think that I have played 10 or so Sentinel's. Mostly Bio, but also Elec, Regen, and SR. Sentinel's have strong melee attacks in their epic pools and with the armor you should consider getting up close. A combo that can be powerful and safe in melee is E/E/E. And you can choose your preference between Electricity Armor and Energy Aura. But my favorite is Bio for its offensive bonus.

Thx Voltak, it all started because I was defending you 😂😂😂 To make it formal, I'm sorry all. I've already forgot about it. Perfect all range solo blaster: Water/Devices Caltrops + Whirlpool Heal Ranged Nuke Elec/Elec Good ranged AoE including Nuke Fire/Tactical Fire blast had great ST and good AoE Fire + Oil Slick

Nothing but helpful: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/38055-best-solo-blaster-in-the-game/?do=findComment&comment=504429 Also helpful and descriptive. Sovera's comments we're dismissive "Voltak's point of view is from someone who does four star hardmodes in 30 minutes with three deaths. Not sure it applies to someone who makes a post asking what ranged character to solo with." Myshkin was being pretentious and nit picky, "technically", "but not exclusively", "This is an assumption, and a poor one to make.", Etc If they want to be prickly, then I can play that game too. It's all fun and games.

As of his advice is only from such a narrow point of view. 🤣🤡

Using Sovera logic, "Sovera's point of view is from someone who can't solo with a blaster. Not sure it applies to someone who makes a post asking what ranged character to solo with in the Blaster sub-forum." I mean who would want to use range attacks to kill runners?

All I did was correct your PoV on Volt and add context to your misguided opinion, "Voltak's point of view is from someone who does four star hardmodes in 30 minutes with three deaths. Not sure it applies to someone who makes a post asking what ranged character to solo with." That's not a caveat, that's a blanket.

If you are familiar with me at all, a true Blaster is a Blapper. All range blaster is a waste unless it's a /TA or Dev Blaster. All range, “at range consistently" is a waste of the high DPA melee attacks. And in the case of Atomic a complete waste of Beta Decay, which is the uniqueness that Atomic has to offer. Hover blaster was given as an option if they really wanted to play at range. Thus suggesting Dev and TA because they don't need to be in melee. What's more, if one primarily plays at range then they build for range, which means they aren't built for melee. Such builds make melee fighting much riskier, including kiting. It also means that one is taking and slotting powers that they rarely use. It's kind of wasteful.

The all was for all range. For an ultimate hover blaster one should consider the following secondaries: T1: Devices, Tactical T2: Energy, Plant Worst range synergy Atomic, Dark, Mental

Teaming with @Voltak on the regular, I would say that his PoV is coming from 4* in 30mins with 3 deaths. His PoV is coming from a CoX vet who specializes in range characters, especially Corruptors and Defenders with controllers and Dominators right on their heels. Volt does a wide variety of content including soloing.
