Whats the best procster?

So I was thinking of making a character built around procs.

My contendors are Dark Blast/TA, Pistols/TA, SM/? brute, FC,EC/Earth Assualt.

My worrys with Pistols/Ta is that its a tough set to play and survive with, especially when you are not building for defense, which I wont be. (I have one, I suck with him solo).

Luminara uses a Dark Blast/TA I believe, and from what I read, with good success.

Stone Melee/Fiery Aura, lots of procs for Stone Melee.

Dominator, Fire Control or Earth Control paired with Earth Assault. Lots of proc oppurtunities.

While Im building this more for a small team I will mostly run with, I am also looking to solo and the end game. I only play my blaster in the incarnate trials right now, so I dont even know how things respond to soft controls or immobilizes. I never actually see any of that used. As a blaster, I dont care much, I just shoot things, till they or me are face down.

Thanks for any guidance.

(Nrg blaster set is a out, since my blaster is Nrg/Nrg and I wont be changing him.)

Brutes get a lot of AoEs in the epics, so procs in those can be quite handy.

Scrappers have procs built into all their attacks to begin with, so it can get pretty nifty pretty quickly.

Earth/Storm/Ice Controller would be my bet. While lots of sets technically can proc-out, ones with low damage like Earth Control actually benefit from it a lot. Apocalypse: Chance for Neg Damage in Lightning Storm is also one of the rare opportunities to slot a proc balanced for single target damage in an AoE (the other notable power capable of doing that being Electric Control >> Jolting Chain).

Dark/DP/Mace Defender will give you the most procs and most bang for your buck.

Using SOs and a Steadfast Res/def, Shadow Fall, Darkest Night, and Manuevers will put you at the effective soft cap to all positions against even cons. It still puts you over the effective soft cap to S/L vs +4s, you have 30% resistance to Energy, Negative and Psi, 17.5% to toxic and if you pick up tough you get 23% resistance to S/L. (your only weakness is pure fire or pure cold damage).

On top of all that if you use Chem rounds on top of Darkest night the mobs damage output is reduced by almost 50% and you get to debuff their resistances by 30% with tar patch.

If all that fails you have a PBAoE self heal you can use to repair the damage.

How is the Apocalypse proc any different from Armageddon? Fire doesn't seem to be more resisted than Negative.

Armageddon cant be slotted in ranged powers.
