"Soon! Maybe. I've heard tell that we may well be due for another wave of powerset proliferation with the release of Going Rogue, although that's far from a confirmed fact. So Blasters can expect to get some more love there. But we don't have any idea of exactly when we'll see more secondaries as opposed to more primary sets. The trouble is that as Blasters have been designed, they have the undesirable trait that Masterminds share: they've got a setup for one of their sets that nobody else shares.

There are some powersets that are easy to port from one archetype for another. A Scrapper, Brute, or Stalker primary naturally works well as a Tanker secondary, and vice-versa. Defender primaries are Controller secondaries, Blaster and Corruptor primaries work well for Defender secondaries, and so on ad infinitum. The two sets that no one else really gets access to are Blaster secondaries and Mastermind primaries, because each is a pretty unique cocktail.

Dashel pointed out in his very long mail (which was well-appreciated, I'd like to note) that Blasters have the smallest list of secondaries out of every archetype other than epics. This is very true. Masterminds, similarly, have the smallest list of primaries of any non-epic -- and up until Going Rogue, that number was capped at an earth-shattering five. The primary set is a strange mixture of pet powers, pet buffs, and ranged damage. Blasters, meanwhile, have a hybrid setup of light control, melee strikes, and ranged buffs.

In short -- both archetypes have sets that are hard to just bring over without a fair bit of work. And Blasters, as a whole, aren't doing too badly with their ten primary sets. Hopefully we'll see something nice with the next pass of proliferation, but there's a reason they don't usually get secondary love. There's nowhere for the powers to be proliferated from. (Not that it excuses the hundred-odd possible combinations that Defenders get, but...)"
