New to Blasting
pve=no devices
Tried that with a fire/dev and it didn't work out at all.
If you want a safer set go ice or nrg as primairy set. (elec could be but has more utility then nrg imo).
Second set pick /elec..its great for both pve/pvp. Mainly cause of the end drain past lvl 35. Conserve power from nrg set can't compare with it
Anyway thats the only advice I can give

Archery/dev is very interesting blaster to play, you have a whole bunch of tricks to use, much less straightforward than, say, a fire/fire.
Must-have powers:
Blazing Arrow
Aimed Shot
Ranged Shot
Rain of Arrows
Aim
Caltrops
Targetting Drone
Cloaking Device
Trip Mines
Super Speed (To stack with CD for invis, a must to lay mines safely)

Only up to L40 'cause I made it for the RV event that allowed to get chars to L40.
Could I perhaps stack Stealth from the Concealment pool with Cloaking Device? Reason being is my concept is a thief and I'd like the ability to hide from lower levels.

you cant , cloaking device dont stack with any other concealment power.
btw if you want do for a /dev build keep in mind u will need only caltrops/cloaking dev/targetting drone/ and trip mine(pve side)so it's really difficult u cant put at least (3 fitness for stamina and hasten :P)
I got by fine with Snap Shot and Aimed Shot slotted for recharge and damage for quite some time. With some recharge enhancements in them your almost always firing arrows. Although I'd probably take Blazing Arrow for extra damage.

Well I'm quite happy so far with taking the first three attacks, I have snap shot slotted with two damage, aimed shot with a damage & recharge and fistful of arrows slotted for a reacharge (only level 6). Hopefully this guy will get enough playtime to get him up to at least mid-30's but he's competing with my tank, my kheldians and my dark/rad defender (pre-I7 honest!)
Ok, so I've gotten my character to level 50 and I'm looking to try the other AT's, for blasting whilst I did have a level 12 fire/nrg blaster it didn't suit my style of play (I prefer to be a bit more cautious that wiping out everything in my L.O.S. within 30 seconds).
Anyhow, I've settled on something slightly different in the form of an archery/devices blaster but I'm at a loss as to which powers to select. I tried doing a build, including stamina (as I seem to run out of End a lot), superjump and stealth but I don't seem to have enough power slots to take an epic.
