I always team, never solo, and I like to run just about anything, from farms, to regular missions, to tfs. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can accomplish on a few different characters with a good IO set? Which build is going to bring the most to the table after IOs?

The builds I was considering investing in were
storm/dark/power defender
fire/elec/elec blaster
spines/fire scrapper
I think the scrapper will show the greatest performance improvement from a baseline SO build (or frankenslot IO build) with IO sets. I would hop to the scrapper boards to get some specific build advice, but depending on whether you are looking to use Purple sets it could be pretty pricey (like 2.5-5Bil pricey) for a high-end build. That said, it is the top AoE scrapper build out there.

The blaster could be enhanced rather dramatically as well, with softcap ranged defense likely achievable, if you work for it. That can allow you to be particularly reckless in big team play, with a vast reduction in the usual consequences such shenanigans bring.

As for the Stormer, I can't really say. Outside of IO'ing with QoL IOs like the -KB, +toHit, and +rec procs, I think you're less likely to make a quantum leap. A high-recharge build could facilitate more frequent LS and Tornados and make TT and NF basically a seamless AoE chain. That would be pretty fun, of course.

But my choice would be the scrapper.
