BR/EN, BM/MM or ?

Just came back and am looking to build a blaster for pure ranged gameplay. I have a fire/mm at 50 and like softcapping range and hoverblasting. In particular I preferred to play my fire/mm as an almost pure ST blaster with a build that is range softcapped without running any toggles (stops chain mezzing which I hate with a passion).

I created a MIDS of br/en that is range softcapped without toggles but also keeping the two cones (skipping end nuke). I can keep two AOE's, maybe i should skip the first cone and keep the nuke but i don't know.

Also is boost range really good for this combo? I hate redraw but can live with clicking conserve power and boost range every 30 seconds.

For ST damage will the BR/EN be as good as fire/mm? I will probably miss drain psyche but then again it will be nice not to have to joust in and out of melee, and if i understand correctly, disintegration debuffs regen by around -100 or so?

Also does power boost affect disintigration in any way?


I am also thinking about BR/DEV, has /dev been changed for the better so it is more comparable to sets with buildup for sustained DPS? I read somewhere that the turret now has faster or uninterruptable cast-time. Caltrops I have always loved...
