What really helped me enjoy Blasters is control powers. Siren's Song in Sonic is a big one, it almost feels like a cheat, but really any Torrent power helps too. Knock everybody down then run into melee range while they're getting up.

My ice/ice/ice is a blapper. Iceman homage. Has three single target holds. Holds avs a lot of times. Not all the time of course. But it’s awesome. I built mine more for survivability and defense. I didn’t go all super prob heavy. I just hate getting mezzed and not getting hit solves that problem.

I'll be honest, I took stealth with some idea, but it feels like it doesn't really uh.. work?

 

It doesn't, unless you can get fully stealthed (50' or more stealth radius), or turn off your Sustain.

 

The /Ice sustain is very effective anti-stealth, as it puts a very nasty debuff on everything within 30 feet. (-14% damage, -40% recharge, -70% movement speed).  It won't affect enemies around you if you have more than 50' stealth radius, and are out of combat mode. (On a semi-related note, most enemies hate this debuff - I've pulled mobs off of people in PI with it, without ever actually activating another power. It's surprisingly easy to get and keep aggro with a /Ice, if there's no hard taunt on the team.)

Very much that!  Archery/Ice/Fire here - Rain of Arrows wipes out the rabble, twinned Holds lock out bosses and EBs, and -90% movement speed from the sustain makes kiting any survivors laughably easy (Radial Intuition Alpha does wonders with Ice - Holds & Slows & Damage & Range).  AVs generally aren't even dangerous, even at only 15 to 20% defense:  most of them don't have much for ranged attacks, so they're super easy once immobilized (or slowed into oblivion, since Chilblain does both rather nicely).

Just remember, no matter what goes wrong in a party, it's ALWAYS the dps' fault! 🤣
