Sometime soon I will attempt to make a "Melee Blaster"  Just hardest hitting short animation attacks, depending on team to hold agro and assassinating w/e is distracted.  I usually attempt ranged/cone Blasters.

I have an Energy/Sonic blaster that only blaps. Didn’t even take Power Burst. Just Aim/Nova/Explosive Blast/Sniper Blast. Not really any harder to stand in melee than it is on a number of other things like kins or poisons. Melee isn’t all that dangerous for anyone in the game if you (1) know when to jump out, (2) don’t ignore your inspiration tray, (3) kite your melee attacks when things get spicy, etc. etc.

Again, a lot of talk about T9s.....  No talk about Blaster's Secondary sets.  The only way to build a ranged blaster with the original sets was an AR/Dev.  Every other combination of power sets have PBAoE and Melee attacks. 

 

That's because the thread topic was ranking the element-themed sets, not ATs.  Blasters are only one of the four ATs that use blast sets.
