I'd always go with elec, on a blaster. It might screw with the concept, but it's decent armour, hold, and emergency megadisorient (or nuke, if you're facing robots). Cone won't be much use to you, though.
Secondary to that I'd go with cold, survivability is ace with snow storm and hibernate, and I'd rather have def than res on a blaster, as you have a higher chance of avoiding all those nasty disorients you can't do a damned thing about, rather than a res armour, which'll drop as soon as one lands anyway. Flash freeze probably a good "stop 'em and run!" power.
Force gives you more tricks to play about with, and can transform you into a mini-tanker.
Munitions still good even with ED'd LRM (teehee BANG).
Flame has bonfire, good for keeping the melle types at bay, but I find the rest of the set a touch lacking - it's a good ST hold, but I don't rate Res shields for folks with no mez protect, and would take RotP only if I was very melee-heavy and used to dying an awful lot.
Cold or Elec, for me.
DON'T eat muffins while I'm developing you.
Pants! Turkey Magnates! A man in a box! Rogue AI! Come one, come all, to arc ID 10107 - It's [i]'Not as long as some other arcs'[/i]!
I have been giving more thought to cold, i'm told it has one of the best 'oh [bleep] buttons for a blaster' ie hibernate, plus i can always add to his story that after mastering fire he has limited control over cold too

Hawkblaze is nearing now on lvl41 and i was wondering what the best epic powerset would be, ive been considering fire for concept and has a few decent powers, but force has alot of survivability attatched to it, any help greatly appreciated
Hawk
Ps: Hes Fire/Fire, doesnt die much but after one hit usually takes alot of successive hits from other enemies
