My Fire/Dev and my Fire/Ice are totally different. Though my AR/NRG and AR/Dev are very similar during team play but vastly different solo.
And AR/Dev was brilliant during ToT. Tripmines FTW.
Yea, my energy/dev always has an incredibly easy time ToTing.

Seconded. Drop a pair of tripmines, knock, and collect the reward.

Fire/En and Fire/Elec played very similarly to each other. (In my play style, which is like KABOOM FWOOSH PUNCH PUNCH BLAZE KABOOM.)
Fire/Mental and Fire/Ice play differently than the above, and differently from each other.
I like 'em all, but if I had to choose only one it would probably be Fire/Elec.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Fire/EN will play differently from Fire/Fire.
Fire/Fire's only mitigation is to kill it quick, and you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle if something doesn't fall as fast as you need it to.
Fire/EN has the lovely option of knocking it away and on its back to give you a moment to catch your breath (literally, perhaps, pop a blue skittle).
I have one of each in the mid-20s, and the pacing is somewhat different because of this difference in mitigation.
But my favorite Fire Blaster is my Fire/Ice, currently 38ish. Lay down a slip'n'fall (Ice Patch) then Rain Fire down upon them - makes me giggle. Sha plays differently than either of the 2 above.
To answer the larger question about whether a secondary makes a difference when playing the same primary - the answer is probably a wishy-washy "it depends".

Also, on Fire/Ice, note that Shiver is a HUGE RECHARGE DEBUFF on a HUGE AREA. That stacks with itself. If enemies are at the recharge floor, you live four times as long. I consider this to be the best Blaster mitigation tool this side of Personal Force Field.

Hi, I'm Radubadu and... I'm an altoholic...
I realize that this is a question that could be asked for any AT but as I mostly play blasters I thought I'd post it here. Do the secondaries vary gameplay to the point that playing the same primary set doesn't get stale?
I thought about this playing my AR/EN last night. I love fire/fire (as can be seen in another thread I started lol) but I would love to have some of the knockback stuff that /EN gets on my Fire blaster.
