What new toon to roll?

Here is the problem i have for about an year:
my first hero was an ill/rad/ice troller who could solo AVs with lvl 30.
I soloed almost all GMs AVs avaible before incarnate stuff hit the world.
Now i have a real problem finding a new ranged toon (i wont play melee toons) that creates equal fun while playing it.

so i need some suggestions what to roll.
here the restrictions:
no fire based toons, no kinetics, no melee toons, no new illusionist, good damage and solo friendly

Are you looking for AV/GM soloing again? or ... what do you want out of the character?

Well, fun is a subjective thing.... but I really found the following fun

Plant/Time or Plant/Storm controller
thugs/time mm
beamrifle/cold cor
elec/elec dom
tw/ea scrapper

Let's see probably these are all classic pairings, fotm, whatever you wish to call them.

Corrupter:

Fire/dark - is classic solo friendly and good damage. I never got into mine but I've heard great things if you stick with....reading comprehension is fun... make that the next best aoe... archery/ar/rad/dp etc

A trapster - Corrupter, a primary with some decent aoe, see above or..

Bot/traps mastermind - To me this was a bit dull to level but ended up feeling quite powerful. Aoeing mobs get annoying

Mind/Fire dominator- Again, you'll easily find lots of good info on this and probably the most ranged friendly.

Plant/storm controller - Just hit 42 on mine, lots of fun, very powerful. Nemesis and arachnos lts are annoying.

I tanked the ITF last night on my Sonic/Ice blaster.

I doubt I could solo an AV as my damage isn't high enough but I can withstand basically anything they put out. I died once in a mission when I forgot to watch my blue bar and dropped my shields! Whoops.

Otherwise I watched as the 2 Brutes on the team faceplanted 4 or 5 times and I didn't. I was able to finish off the computer when both Brutes were dead and only myself and 2 defenders were left.

It is a bit slow at first but once you have some tools it becomes a lot of fun

I think traps corruptors are fun. The force field generator helps by providing defense and mez protection. Caltrops, acid mortar, and poison trap are great for blocking off enemies or creating kill zones. Trip mines can make a really nasty kill zone even nastier if you have setup time. Seeker drones can be summoned among your foes to soak the alpha strike and debuff them.

So basically, you solo like a champ. And if you do join a fast team or just want to blast, no problem. Just lean on your blast primary. And speaking of primary, since you want to avoid fire, go with ice blast.

Ice blast has 3 single target attacks, a cone aoe, a targeted aoe, aim, and 2 single target holds. So you have damage and even more control. Plus, Blizzard is one of the better nukes, and it synergizes well with the location-based kill zone of traps. Plus, even when *your* endurance crashes, your FF Generator will still provide some defense and mez protection while you recover.

Ice/Traps Corruptor. Its whats for dinner!
