If you want a challenge try Psi/Fire. It's quite a bit less awesome than and much less survivable than a Fire/Fire......

make a melee range arch/fire. It is one of the highest aoe damage toons in the game yet incredibly rare.

I thought a melee range blaster that does more aoe damage than almost anything would be self explanatory in its hardness to play. Which is to say, probably one of the hardest roads to take.

I actually do have an Arch/Fire Blaster at 42. I love Blazing Arrow and the AoE that the set as a whole can put out. I don't think I'll be playing Arch/anything just because Archery is pretty strong in general.|

That Psi/Fire does look interesting though...

Anyhow, Archery has alot of Ranged AoEs.If he is in a Team or Solo Situation, the mobs mostly dead after RoA with Aim+BU.There'd be no point to having a secondary at all past the BU.

I personally went with a Energy/MM Blaster recently, and have found its a creepily strong combonation.Most Blaster combonations are pure WIN anyhow.Except for a Psi/Fire.I have to continue to agree its full of FAIL!
Skip IO's and go straight for TO's. Six slots for accuracy and you're good to go.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

He wants a difficult to play Blaster?Lets give him one!
Make any combonation you want, and dont give it any Enhancements EVER.Not even at level 50!Never use Inspirations!And Never.....EVER....Take your Aim or BU!
Problem solved..

I think you grossly over estimate RoA assuming of course we aren't fighting +1's or lower. But if he is asking for a "challenge" then he must mean at least +2's, probably higher.|

Your argument about blasting from range is sort of the exact opposite of playing a melee range arch/fire isn't it? If you don't think so then your suggestion of psy/fire is way easier because it is all single target (from range) with much higher mitigation meaning less agro and much more safety. Not to mention casting psy nado while jumping in and following up with fire sword circle while aura and hotfeet tick away is actually quite safe and very devastating if you were looking to venture in to melee and dole out aoe damage with the combo.
Take whatever combo looks interesting, get to 25, go to Ouroboros, turn on "enemies buffed" and/or "player debuffed." Problem solved.
If that's not good enough, I'd probably go with Energy/something. Energy/Fire maybe? Or Electric/Fire?

I'd echo the earlier energy/devices comment except that in general it's an incredibly 'safe' combination to play. It just suffers from being a rather slow moving set in a fast moving game.

Something /Fire. I don't see enough /Fire blappers around and it disappoints me. Or I see people take /Fire, then skip Fire Sword Circle.
Grow a pair and get in melee!
That Psi/Fire could actually be alot of fun. Decent single target from the primary, and awesome AoE from the secondary.
Also, just rolled a Rad/Fire. It's pretty much the most fun I have had with a Blaster so far. AoE Melee Blapping is the deal.
I have a Psi/Fire at 50. /Fire does a good job of making up for the lack of AOE in Psi. Casting Nado+FSC is cool, its very nice to have them all fall down into your Hot Feet, but it does take 6 seconds to execute.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?

well, if you really want a challenge, make a defender and take the entire fighting pool along with the attacks from the jump pool and flight pool and just some of your debuffs. sounds bad but it may be just the challenge you want.
Quote:
Yea, that would be challenging, but it's not really the kind of challenge I'm looking for. Just trying to find a Blaster combination that may make things more challenging. I don't really want to skip my entire primary and secondary and I don't really want to go from 1-50 without any enhancements lol. Just specifically looking for a combination that people think are challenging to play in general.

Can someone give me a gimped combination that I can roll? I'm just so freaking good with a Blaster it's making this game boring. Please don't say AR/Dev since I have one of those and he totally rocks.
Maybe Energy/Ice or something? I don't know.
Thank you for your kind replies!
