Looking for constructive criticism for AR/Dev build

I am finally getting around to re-tooling my Ar/Dev build, currently languishing at level 42. I haven't really worked on his build since I6. After searching through the various builds here, I have a preliminary build for comment. Primarily this will be a solo build, but should be viable in a team/TF setting. Have I made any major mistakes? I have an IO build, then a Set build as I build up the cash for it.

Your slotting Generic IOs. I will say I'm not crazy about them since you can get SO MUCH from Invention set bonuses. As far as being viable for TF It's a catch 22. I might take you the first time around but after seeing your only slotted with regular IOs I would probably look around for someone else the 2nd time around. I'm not trying to sound like elitist jerk. Just being honest.

There are so many blaster sets that are better off then AR Device. AR / anything else would be better.. Any Arch type with some slotted IOs which has some stacked defenses or stacked anything would be better then your build if you get what I'm saying.

I mentioned this in the past. But I have tested it out several times, regardless of what people want to believe or perceive I have logged on with my AR Device and then logged off to get another toon and have gotten invites to the same team that ignore my AR Device.

Sadly Device is still stuck in the 2004 and it's 2010. Traps is the new Device.

You don't need body armor as it really isn't serving you any purpose. Your defenses don't exist and neither does your resistance.

You have too many travel powers.. Just pick one and make sure its Super Speed since it works in conjunction with Cloaking Device.. You don't need combat jump.. You don't need super jump.

Recall Friend for Stealthing and TPing everyone to end of missions seems okay I guess.

Pick up M30, Smoke Grenade, Gun Drone.

At least if you want to TP players and mobs are near you can use Smoke Grenade to cut down on mob perception so team mates don't get spotted when you TP them in.

Gun Drone will at least give you some extra damage as will M30.

Nutshell your working with the weakest blaster and your slotting him with generic inventions. It's a loose / loose situation. And on top you have tons of Knock back which many hate.

I would like to see your Set build. I'm not loving this build atm.. I would want to know where your going with the set build.

Level 4: Buckshot -- KinCrsh-Dmg/KB(A), KinCrsh-Acc/KB(7), KinCrsh-Rchg/KB(7), KinCrsh-Rechg/EndRdx(9), KinCrsh-Dmg/EndRdx/KB(17), KinCrsh-Acc/Dmg/KB(43)
I don't like this. Buckshot is an excellent source of AoE damage and mitigation with KB, but you don't want more KB. You want it up faster, for less Endurance, and doing more damage. Also, without enhancing, the KB turns to KD vs higher level foes (+2? +3?), and that's GOOD. So do not EVER enhance the KB aspect of Buckshot. This should get the same slotting as Flamethrower (see later).

Level 12: Sniper Rifle -- Mantic-Acc/Dmg(A), Mantic-Dmg/EndRdx(13), Mantic-Acc/ActRdx/Rng(13), Mantic-Dmg/ActRdx/Rchg(15), Mantic-Dmg/EndRdx/Rchg(37), Mantic-Dam%(37)
Okay set bonuses up to 5, but the 6th is worthless. Also, slotting Damage Procs works better on attacks with low base damage. On Blasters, who do excellent base damage, you want the attack powers up more, with max damage, with more accuracy, etc. So I'd never slot damage procs in direct attacks... maybe in Caltrops. Drop the damage proc from here and save a slot.

Level 18: Flamethrower -- Posi-Acc/Dmg(A), Posi-Dmg/EndRdx(19), Posi-Dmg/Rchg(19), Posi-Dmg/Rng(23), Posi-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx(23), Posi-Dam%(25)
The 6th slot bonus for Posi is not worth it. As discussed above, the Dam Proc is not worth it, and it's really expensive (leave it for the Controllers in their AoE Immobs). Save the slot.

Level 20: Stamina -- P'Shift-EndMod(A), EndMod-I(21), P'Shift-End%(21)
Okay. Could get a P'Shift End/Acc to max out.

Level 24: Super Speed -- EndRdx-I(A)
See Recall Friend notes.

Level 26: Ignite -- Posi-Acc/Dmg(A), Posi-Dmg/EndRdx(27), Posi-Dmg/Rchg(27), Posi-Dmg/Rng(36), Posi-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx(36), Posi-Dam%(37)
See notes on Flamethrower.

Level 30: Caltrops -- P'ngTtl--Rchg%(A), P'ngTtl-Acc/Slow(31), P'ngTtl-EndRdx/Rchg/Slow(31)
Don't need Accuracy in Caltrops, use Damage/Slow.

Level 32: Full Auto -- Posi-Acc/Dmg(A), Posi-Dmg/EndRdx(33), Posi-Dmg/Rchg(33), Posi-Dmg/Rng(33), Posi-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx(34), Posi-Dam%(34)
See Flamethrower.

Level 35: Recall Friend -- Zephyr-ResKB(A), Zephyr-Travel/EndRdx(46)
Go to three slots of Zephyr since you're building for Rng/AoE Defenses. With the slots you're pulling out of the damage procs, you should be able to 3-slot SS, SJ, and Recall Friend for defense.

Level 38: Super Jump -- Jump-I(A)
See Recall Friend

Level 41: Body Armor -- S'fstPrt-ResDam/Def+(A), S'fstPrt-ResKB(43)
Drop the KB resists since you're getting KB resist from the travel power sets.

Level 47: LRM Rocket -- Posi-Acc/Dmg(A), Posi-Dmg/EndRdx(48), Posi-Dmg/Rchg(48), Posi-Dmg/Rng(48), Posi-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx(50), Posi-Dam%(50)
See Flamethrower.

This is the result, with a spare IO that I put into Health (could go into a lot of powers for a bit of extra effect):
EDIT, oh and change the Buckshot to Positron x 5, plus another free slot. Forgot to do that before outputting the design...

I am on the fence with this idea. I was actually planning on using Buckshot BECAUSE of the knockback (defensively). Also, 6-slot KinCrsh provides a Recharge bonus.

Don't DMG Procs get a chance to fire off with every tic of a DOT attack? If that is the case, then attacks like Flamethrower, Full Auto and especially Ignite would have a higher benefit from Procs, wouldn't they?

In the basic IO build was alot of unmissable slotting. For the record Gun Drone is worth 10 Body Armours. I use it to take the alpha for me, certainly mezz effects depending on if I decide to play that way.

Please ignore the levels at which I slotted powers.. When using mids I slot working on defenses, I do not slot for leveling. I just slot the appropriate powers at whatever levels I think I need them. So Health and Stamina are slotted in my 30s, I will more then likely slot them in my early 20s.

This is a build I will be leaning towards. I am NOT crazy about the endurance use. The smash and lethal are almost defense capped, you can max it out when needed with a luck inspiration. Range Defense is capped, which is what many Blasters look to get capped out. Many of the other defenses are in your 20s and 30s defense wise. As much as I cringe to say this, this is the build where I would probably slot those frankenslots with some purple IOs which give Recovery bonuses. Once I could afford them. I do not like the look that Frozen armor looks gives as it messes up any costume look you have, but it is what it is.

Otherwise you will need to incorporate Aid Self into your build. You will end up getting some nasty aggro that without a heal you will find yourself on the floor fast. And really Aid Self is just a band-aid until the tank can pick up the aggro, hopefully..

Here ya go, I tossed this together.

It ain't optimized for exemplaring, but it caps S/L/E/N, has noticeable defenses and resists vs everything else, and has plenty of damage and utility to boot.

Just a quick thought. I went through a similar tug of war when trying to bring my i5 ar/dev into the IO era.
What I finally settled on was a dual build approach.
Build A was for teaming a purely ranged hover blaster with a decent amount of ranged defense. The other toys were skipped since I had other folks for support and aggro control.
Build B was for soloing and relying on invisibly toe bombing my foes and using my pets to eat alphas for me.
