Need advice on fire/dev
Obviously caltrops + aim + rain (w reactive total radial conversion) + ball is an opener that is mighty, mighty tasty.
On my AR/Dev I find the only thing I use are the drones & cloak. I'm going to respec her, she's stalled at 43 since I love my fire/ice and am badging/incarnating her up right now.
I'm a recharge freak, so I get my other defense powers to LotG w the invis pool, go Spiritual alpha, etc.
I took my fire/ice's as-built and changed it to a /dev real quick. Kept my accolateds on and alpha, so you can turn that off if you want to see the slotting values w/o that.
[Edit: Just realized I broke the rule of fives on the 6.25% rech. I'd fix that with an oblit in something that didn't need endurance, though I don't have issues with end due to the unique. And before anyone says it, yes, I know the fly in fly is doing nothing.]
My opinion is that /dev is like /ice. You take it so you can not feel bad about dropping the powers you don't want so you can get mules for recharge. Salty has a pretty cheap build, in some ways. I keep stalling on switching her to oblits and I'm planning on getting rec friend in there.

The question I have is, what do you want to focus on? I have a fire/dev and I LOVE him. I went for a hover blaster and focused on ranged defense.
After it is all said and done, i have 46% to range, 44% to energy and 35% defense to s/l.
The S/L mainly comes from frozen armor. Once i get him to villian side, i will pick up scorpion shield and then i will have pretty much the same S/L and roughly 50 something energy defense (which is good for all the new end game energy damage popping up).
I went musculature first, but now having alot of toggles, and reactive interface to pick up the damage, I went cardiac to help with end. I run manuevers, weave, cloaking field, targeting drone, hover, and combat jumping. He's a floating ball of fiery doom.
Reactive interface makes caltrops and rain of fire do INSANE damage. I'd respec my nuke out now if i didn't use it to hold some IO's.
He also has about 50% global recharge (alot of that comes from LoTG +recharge since I have alot of defense toggles) and accuracy. He's great. The only powers I got from Device is caltrops, webnade, targeting drone, and cloak, and its all i need. Think I have taser too, but its not slotted.
The IO sets that really help are (doing this off the top of my head as I don't have my mids available right now) is thunderstrike's, gaussins, and steadfast +def unique. I 6 slotted webnade with an immob set that gave good range defense and caltrops with a slow set that did the same. Also, universal travel, zephyr, has a range defense bonus as well when 2 slotted in travel powers.
Its really not that expensive of a build to get at least 70% of it up and going. I have some purps here and there, but 2 in one power for end bonus and I think rain of fire is fully slotted with a purp set as well, but in the mean time use posi's blast or something similar.
I'll post my build when i can but hope this helps and gives you and idea of one way you can go with your blaster.
Here is what I use. It focuses on ranged defense and still has +66.3 recharge bonus and it's relatively cheap to slot.

@Ra Ra
My main is a level 50 and I have been away for years until the past few months.
I returned to invention enhancements and rogues.
I have respected once but I just don't feel like I am getting the most I could be getting. I would really like some input on powers, slots, and enhancements since I have missed all the nerfs and buffs.
I do have incarnate in musculature (3 shards from level shift) and pyro (2nd power, but don't ask the name right now).
Any help is apprectiated.
