Advice for an alt-holic this holiday weekend

Hello all. Been back about two months now after years away and I have been enjoying myself immensely. However, my alt-itis has been raging uncontrollably of late and as such, I find myself at a loss for which AT to devote my time to this three day weekend. I figured I would throw it out to the community at large and see what people thought.
Here are the characters I am looking at.

Peacebringer-lvl 30 (really like my kheld, but not terribly driven to power through my 30's)

Mastermind (bots/storm)-lvl 13 cool, but lots of clanking.

Arachnos Spider (will one day be Crab)-lvl 17 (seems to be levelling really slowly. I am definitely looking forward to my respec and pursuing Crab. Just seems to be taking forever.)

Controller (plants/storm)-lvl 19 been a fun ride so far, and some good stuff still to come.

Blaster (dual pistols/mind)-lvl 16 love my concept for him but still not drawing me in so much.

Scrapper (kinetic melee/fire)- lvl 1 start something new?

Would love to hear your thoughts. With these choices, what would you play this weekend and why?

What *I* would play this weekend? Bit of time on all of them. If I were - well, almost anyone else, since I can't really stand VEATs - I'd say work on getting the veat to 24 and get the "OK, now you're really a VEAT" respec over with.

If it were me personally, I'd probably be working on the Controller, hitting 22 for stamina and SOs at least.

Except for the peacebringer and the scrapper I have one of each of those AT/powerset combos on my roster, mostly in the teen levels. If I had to pick just one of them for the weekend I'd probably go with the plant/storm controller or the VEAT.

Deciding factors for me would include... I dislike the 30s blueside except for Croatoa, which is okay, and the RWZ... Bots/anything is very solid but puts me to sleep... and I've just taken a DP/Mind blaster through 1-20 of Praetoria so a change of pace is always a good thing.

I like my "spray bullets and plasma everywhere" AOE VEAT a lot.

I've never gotten anywhere with a Mastermind or a Controller or a Kheld. I just don't think they're for me.

Scrappers get abandoned these days, not enough damage compared to the Blasters I love.

So if it was me I'd run the Spider or the Blaster.

Standard disclaimer: this is only useful if you're me.


Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.

... New powerset. Spider Blast!

I find altitis isn't such a bad thing nowadays, I tend to, rather than focus on one alt, run tips missions on an alt, then another, etc. Certainly helps getting them geared up.

Controller, Spider, and blaster. Get them all to level 22 at least as it shouldn't be too hard to get those final levels to do that. I know the controller and Spider should be the two that you look forward the most for getting new powers.
