The answer really is "it depends". Depends on what you are building for. Do you want recharge, defense of some variety, +max health, etc.etc.. In turn what you are building for depends on other things such as which sets, concept, available playtime, play style or what one can spend? There is no truly clear cut answer.

Assuming you are going for just the Ranged sets:

Thunderstrike is nice, cheap and gives good set bonuses including ranged defense. To get max benefit you need to 6 slot it

Entropic Chaos is nice, set bonuse includes 10% Regeneration, 2.25% Endurance and a nice 6.25% Recharge. It also includes a heal PROC but at 10% chance to fire it doesn't fire enough to be your only heal.

Decimation is very simular to Entropic Chaos for set bonuses (has HP rather then the 10% Regeneration), includes a build up PROC which is nice.

Devastation gets put into my blasters a lot. Like Entropic Chaos and Decimation it doesn't help with defenses but you can 4 slot it and have good enhancements while picking up a 12% regeneration, 2.25 HP, and 3% damage set bonus. Has a chance for hold PROC but I don't find myself using that much, would probably need to goto five slots to use that and keep the good enhancements.

Other then the purple I really don't consider any other ranged damage sets to be worth it in a final build unless frankenslotting.

It all depends on what you are building for.

You usually have the big 3:

Recharge

Defense

Damage

Then a few others, such as End Mod if you are Electric/Electric or some such.

I like to try for Recharge/Defense. So, Thunderstrikes, Decimations, Purples, LotGs, Reactive Armor, Touch of Death.

Thanks for these ideas, at least I have a direction to consider.
