On my E/E Blaster I haven't had any issues going from 1 to 50 although there was a rough patch in the 33 to 37 range because I was deciding which enemies I wanted to focus on mainly. Depending on your build you can slot for damage as you pointed out, but I would look at damage and recharge because if you can keep your mitigation powers charged you will have a cake walk to 50. Having Energy Torrent, Power Thrust, and Explosive Blast readily available will make your journey all the more easy because you will be able to dish out loads of damage AND keep enemies at bay from knocking them back while you wrap up killing their friends.

Most Blasters get a lot harder in the 30s and 40s. Energy / Energy is pretty much average in all respects... you can't get the extreme burst damage of Fire or the heavy control of Ice to help overcome the increased amount of mez you run into at higher levels. That means you're going to have more problems soloing (like most Blasters)... though you can get a decent amount of mitigation through knockback and stuns. The 30s tend to be the hardest part, since once you hit the 40s you can start picking up more mitigation through epic pool powers.

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.

You might even want to look at frankenslotting your powers until you get to the point you want to start slotting IO sets.
