One thing you do need to do is slot Defiant barrage into a power you can use when held like charged shot as it helps massivily when held.

All blasters get a couple of powers they can used when mezzed.

 

Also i didn't take agility but took musculature and assault so with the 38.5% extra damage from sets i stacked it's a huge damage buff.

And anyone who says "don't take trip mine" has no idea. It is an amazing AOE for big mobs and Toe Bombing is a thing.

I have 3 large AOE's in LRM,Trip mine and overcharge.

 

And gun drone lasts a good while and i can often have 2 at the same time.

Also makes a great bullet sponge.

 

One thing i am thinking about is trading maneuvers for Taser as taser is great damage and a thunderstrike set will mean the def dosn't drop that much and it will mean less end useage.

Just have to say, I have been using this particular build and absolutely loving it. Smoothest running blaster I've had and virtually all sorts of content.
