Generally speaking, with either melee or ranged attacks I go with 1 Acc, 1 End Red, 1 Rech, and 3 Damage.

What do use IO wise? Been looking at the Thunderstrike.
thunderstrikes for ranged defense
decimation for +recharge
devistation for +HP & Damage (only needs 4 really)
The sets have other nice stuff in them, but those are the main differences for me.
They are all good, it just depends on what you want.
SO / Generic IO Slotting
1 Acc / 3 Dam / 1 End / 1 Recharge for standard attacks
1 Acc / 3 Dam / 2 Recharge for long recharge attacks
Frankenslotting
Mix and match the cheapest set IOs you can find to get:
40-60% Accuracy
90% or more Damage
40-60% or more Endurance
enough Recharge to suit you (Flares needs none, Thunder Strike needs lots)
Sets
6 Thunderstrike is fantastic for ranged attacks since it provides accuracy and ranged defense
5 Decimation + 1 random Dam/End/Rech for ranged attacks if you don't care about defense
5 Positron's (plus an optional Recharge) for targeted AoEs
6 Mako's Bite for melee if you want ranged defense
4 Kinetic Combat + 1 Acc/Dam for melee if you want Smash / Lethal defense
5 Crushing Impact for melee if you don't care about defense
There are other sets that are useful for specialized builds (like max HP / Regen or max Recovery) but those are the big ones.
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name
[u]Arcs[u]
The Scavenger Hunt: 187076
The Instant Lair Delivery Service: 206636
If you are going to exemplar alot, then frankenslotting is a great way to go. Small bonuses never get reduced so using triples and quads you can keep your level 50 bonuses all the way down to level 21. Still screwed on Posi though.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

It's been getting more and more difficult to acquire them in my experience. When I consider them, I usually consider Thunderstrikes and Kinetic Combat.

Thanks for the feedback folks, some very useful information which will help me with my choices.
Decimation looks good for the +Recharge, as does Devistation for the extra HP, but liking the extra Damage also.
Will take a look at these on Mids.
Thanks again!
Hoping to get some feedback from different perspectives of players, and how they slot there Ranged Powers & Melee Powers, as there seems to be a lot of options out there at present. My game style differs from team play to solo, if on a team I like to stand back and pick the enemies off (Nrg/Nrg Build) and try to keep the KB to a minimum. If soloing similar to the previous but I know sometimes you have to get in the think of things.
So any feedback would be gratefully received
