This is an impossible question to answer. What do you want out of your character? Maximum damage? More AoE? Buffs? Debuffs? Both? Neither?
its not really impossible, we just need more information.
what is your preference for playstyle?
answer that and we will be able to help more
My vote is for AR/NRG Blaster with capped ranged defense. Boost Range allows you to operate from maximum range. And because you're focusing on ranged attacks, it allows you to skip the melee in the secondary, allowing for extra tools like Aid Self.

If you're feeling thematic, the only options are Traps/AR and AR/Dev.
AR/DARK MIASMA Corruptor or DARK MIASMA/AR Defender
Tar Patch + Ignite + Flame Thrower
And because AR is the suckie, you know you have a great set in Dark Miasma to make up for it

I'm running an AR/TA , I like it . So far at lvl 15
I've heard great things about AR/Rad and Rad/AR. You do all your debuffing and then you pull out your gun which helps with Redraw.
And you get some great help in recharge department.
If you're looking for a Natural Origin character, Traps/AR/Power Mastery Defender is the way to go. You'll want Power Mastery for Power Build Up at level 41.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

I guess more controllery. My favorite Blaster is my Sonic/Mental, which has a lot going on at any given time.

Too many alts to list.
AR/Mind Blaster is great too.

I'm with BrandX then. That'd be a Dark Miasma corr/def. Not the damage of a Blaster, sure, but very sturdy and well able to control a full team-sized spawn. Most of the time, on my AR/Dark corr, I don't even bother summoning Fluffy unless the stuff has really hit the fan. It's just overkill.

Hi there! I'm looking to make an Assault Rifle character for either a Blaster, Defender, or Corrupter, and I was wondering what you think the best combination is.
Sonic/AR Defender?
AR/Dark Corr?
AR/Ice Blaster?
AR/Energy Blaster?
AR/Kinetics Corr?
Traps/AR Defender?
I just don't know!
