I've seen ur tactics first hand.. and to me.. I took sum notes 
Cause from where I was standing.. they didn't stand a chance!
I can solo on invincible until I get one of those Cull'ers with Sap/Freeze powers; then it's Breakfree/Respite/CaB...Weasel AWAY!

I was 38 then still new to certain types of some maps, etc.
Knowing you, you will go and do things better with your /Dev
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Maybe so, maybe no... but if a tactic works.. why change it.
But, at least, in my own eyes, I'm learning from sumone I consider a damn good player, and I respect her for it ; that and I'll be asking you for ur advice on /DEV
Good plan with the mines and things but it wouldn't work for me. I just don't have that much patience 
Unless I'm on a mission where I *have* to kill something, if it'll take more than a few minutes I'll just move on and find something else to do.

you can see why i get bored and then go off to find a team but dps is dps i may take almost upto 3 mins (if a near team sized mob) in set up but the kills are done in seconds.

Level 41 AR/Dev/Mun Blaster here. Since ED hit the servers I have logged on about 4 times with my blaster. Each time I managed to grab more debt than xp. With ED nerfing the hell out of my DPS I have found that my defender has far more survivability and DPS and he is empath/elec/elec. For me the fun of playing a blaster is a far distant memory. Now all I have are aggro magnets and debt rockets.
The blaster known as khainestar was last seen sitting on the steps near the town hall in Atlas. Muttering about these new whipper snappers and their fancy new bows. All the while stroking an aging rifle and sobbing gently
I dont do it very effectively at the moment im using Ulver (see sig for details) and when I am not teaming i just kill stuff in and around Brickstown as to do a mish with him takes far to long and i end up in too much debt

Buy alot of BFs, then I just run arround and hurt stuff until its dead. Soloing my ice / nrg is increadible easy. I dont solo on anything but invinc, except for getting AVs down to EB status.
I cant think of a blaster build that cant solo missions on invinc if you think about how your slotted and what powers to take. The only difference is speed.

Just an FYI, Unyielding is harder and more productive solo 
With 10% health and a load of lucks .
Pretty much 2 holds and Eye of the Magus are the things you need. The later only if the former fails. I used to have 3 holds, but found the third a bit useless so respeced to two. If you feel insecure, lay down a minefield and pull the mob into it. Having cloaking device on when moving around helps too.
This of course, coming from an ice/dev/* blaster. Which means it doesn't help the normal people. The Eye of the Magus thing is pretty much universal blaster-butt-saver. Possibly the best accolade power out there.

...well maybe with some risks.

i can comfortably solo on invincible, i have a stupid amount of ways of going about things being AR/DEV/MUN and no body armour neither, i love my beanbag, my cryo freeze ray, my sleep grenade, my turret, my timebomb, my trip mines...but i will admit some enemies take a serious amount of damage to put down and can be a challenge ie paragon protectors.

Colour me impressed. I'd consider Invincible to be tantamount to suicide for my AR/Dev. Mezzers will get me every time. Guess I suck.
Oddly though, I don't consider PP's to be anything more that a minor inconvenience, I love beating up on those creeps. Method one - I just pull them into eight or so closely laid trip mines. The damage from those virtually one shots them, or at least, they take so much damage so fast that the suckers have virtually no chance of hitting MoG or Unstoppable. Failing that, I just let them go MoG or Unstoppable, set my egg timer and leg it via the nearest lift/exit door. Roll a gicarette, maybe put the kettle on, and just before the egg timer counts down, sneak back cloaked just in time for MoG/Unstoppable to drop. Fish in a barrel - one shot is usually all it takes.

Firstly I am soloing a lvl 50, secondly I dont know what lvl pp's you are looking at, my tactics is this if I see a group i want the whole group. I lay trip mines about their likely chase me path caltrops side to channel or slow them on the mines. I lay a timebomb in the middle of a group count 10 secs lay a trip mine "kaboom" any remaining can chase my butt to my other tripmines "of which there maybe 15" and they gradually get blown to pieces, havent had a +3 PP since lvl 38 but i am imagining they are just as hard. If only a couple of most enemy types are in a spawn may try using sleep grenade sleep them any remaining awake ones beanbag or freeze, take out what i need to. I know some enemy types like a group of devouring earth can be soloed by a /Dev despite being on an 8 man team all +1 though and rikti drones are all pigs and the ones that tp self all pigs!. Generally i hate soloing (i get so bored) and try out teams for a tanker i can enjoy playing with, but i do solo now and then just to know i can.
I'd be amazed if you wont be a lvl 50 soloing invincible comfortably.
