If you start playing melee ATs from the beginning, then try any of the squishies, you will be like a fish out of water and flop around lamely until giving up and going back to the tough guys. A Blaster also teaches you the value of having a team- a new player would have a fairly tough time soloing with one. As well as learning to think about a fight and not just charging in every time.

    So yes, I'd recommend a Blaster. Not because it is good (it isn't), but because of what it teaches you.
    I agree with you entirely. Started out with a regen scrapper (GREAT secondary for a beginner -- less death, contributing to less frustration when you're still learning the game), but when I rolled a blaster soon after, there were many different aspects of the game I hadn't had to consider. Blasters may be squishy, but they do loads of damage and also provide a much needed reality check that the toon is not immortal
