My big concern would be this: would all of the attacks be AoE, leaving no single-target attacks in the set?
But I agree, throwing around lots of explosives would be kinda fun.

While this is a very valid concern (and the one most likely to sink the the set), it's not very conceivable to make an explosives based set without most (if not all) of it being aoe. Not very many single target bombs out there. Seems that this will be yet another potentially excellent set shot down before it's even had a chance to fly because of limitations. /lecry
I like this, but I'd like something other than Flame thrower.
And indeed, perhaps the strength of this set would be knockdown/knockback and lots of AoEs, but it's weakness could in turn be just weak attacks.
Also, AoEs can be small if you're using small enough explosives.

Well, the main thing that would limit the set and balance the aoe would be the fact that most of the powers (ft can be taken out) use mainly lethal with a touch of fire. Perhaps remove the snipe, replace ft with the rl and add in an aim? Would add up to a fairly balance set that would suck at solo, but own at clearing away all those pesky gnats that often cling to avs/heroes.
I was thinking earlier (dangerous, I know) and an idea (likely already suggested, but I hate our search system) that would make for a possibly great blast set. It'd be mainly for Corruptors, as I could not see Heroes being able to use a lot of these powers. A lot of these skills will not be fleshed out at this moment, but likely will if I get enough feedback.
So, as for the set it's self, it could be called Demolitions or some such, and focus on explosives and other similar methods of attack.
Attacks:
Frag Grenade
Molotov Cocktail
Fire Bomb
Dynamite
Flamethrower
Rocket Launcher (snipe)
C4 (Sticks a c4 brick to something as a toggle that explodes when you end said toggle)
Missile Barrage (a massive back pack of missiles appears on your back and you jump into the air, peppering everyone in the selected area.)
Not sure as to what a weapon could be for it as none really matches all the powers. Just trying to avoid the redraw for FT and RL. But ya have to admit, it'd be hella fun to run around blasting stuff to heck with explosives.
