Thinking about it, at the moment i'd build a blaster! They rock!!

Don't listen to him. Ice has the most AWFUL AWFUL nuke/final power in the game. Energy/Energy will make you cry with happiness when you get to level 32 and have powerboost+aim+buildup+nova and enemies go flying everywhere in balls of blue shinyness.

Energy/Energy for the PvE win
Ice/Energy for the PvP win.
Although Deluge is doing pretty good with Elec/Energy in both!
Basically, */energy for teh win!!11!!

Pretty good? PRETTY GOOD? Yeah, i am

Elec/Nrg is awesome, just need to get a full understanding of what each and every power does, then you can be lethal or at least effective with any AT

Though we do thoroughly recommend blasters

agreed, take your pic of sets, each has its own unique feel. I chose electricity myself, which i recommend. But you will probably choose energy like everyone else
Stay away from ice, no snipe, 2 holds which can be sueful, but it is not as efficient at others as killing and keeping you alive, as the nuke (final power, mega damage) is a DoT (damagae over time, like loads of 5 dmg where as other nukes do it all instantly)

Elec drains end and may give you back some end, fire does gd damage and some DoT, ice slows them down and gives them a higher recharge rate (they attack less), assault rifle has some useful powers although quite standard, and a DoT nuke, energy has knockback (which can be useful) and decent damage. And as for nukes, nova (energy nuke) is really good if your soloing, although it can [censored] off melee ATs (tank/scrapper), Thunderous blast (elec) is my favourite as when they die from it they just stand their being electrified then fall to the floor, and it is the best damage (in my case). Assault rifle is a cone DoT, ice an AoE (area of effect) DoT, and fire the same as nova (melee) but no knockback, just some extra damage from DoT and its primary blast.

Secondaries- This depends on yourself really, electric is great as you can re-fill your end bar with power sink from it, then 2 awesome melee moves, a hold, and the rest are ok but not really worth getting. Energy has some useful powers to boost yourself and deal some gd damage. Ice and fire are nothing special. Devices can be useful and very damaging with the bombs you get later on, but thats all that is worth it.

If you care about P v P then energy and electric sets are worth taking a look at, and ice's holds and energy's damaging melee moves (which knocks the toggles, armours, off scrappers and tanks making them quite easy to beat) are a good combo, but only if you really know what your doing.

Hope this helps, want anything else gimme a shout.

Welcome New Kid from an old Kid, and don't listen to anyone else only one powerset combi makes you a real hero and that is Fire/Fire blasting, also real heroes have tails (as a fire blaster it's a must so the Emp can find you and rez you ).

Anyways, welcome again Worlwide I'm sure you'll have loads of fun whatever AT you choose

If you do roll (create) a blaster, fire has two good AoEs (area of effect) and has an inheret DoT effect. the snipe comes late but is worth it for the other attacks. And ofcourse stay away from the Fire secondary, it really does suck but hopefully they should be fixing it soon.

Hmmmm I find this post slightly confusing...

No, wait, wait... looks like ice can be good after all!

Well, I hope it does help... somehow... Just try a few combos for some levels and see which one you like best

I was explaining that ice is bad for general P v E but gd for P v P, but P v E is more important unless ur gonna be teaming with a gd team who can support u all the way to 50. And ice's effects are ok, can be useful, but they do not effect tons so why get a set just for that, when elec and energy have better effects.
