Help with a Psy/Fire blasty
Hiya, here's my vague attempt at putting a Psy/Fire/Mu together. I don't really play blasters, so I went for >32% S/L/E/N defense (i.e. one small purple inspiration to softcap defenses) and close to perma-hasten. My rationale for going for S/L/E/N rather than ranged is that /Fire is a melee set for blasters, so typed defenses against the most common types seemed to be more damage mitigating than just ranged defense. I assume that's close to what a Psy/Fire blapper aims for, but I really have no idea whether it's good or not; perhaps a more experienced blaster could revise the build?

With everything running, including assault, net recovery on that build is 0. Turning on the accolades gets that up to .28 end/s. Quite a few of the attacks have little or no end reduction. I don't think that'd be playable even with a t4 cardiac.
edit to add:
Aneurysmo did have the right idea as far as build goals, though.
I threw this together just for funsies. 20%ish s/l/e/n (that's 2 small purples to softcap for when things get really hairy), and as much +rech as I could manage. 20% defense paired with a resist shield will help take "some hits", but it's not what I'd call sturdy. Which seems ok since the OP is mostly teaming. I tried to get good accuracy and ED capped dmg enhancement in as many attacks as I could, pretty decent recovery numbers. I also tried to keep it on a "casual" budget, but there are some pricey bits in there (the health uniques, kin combats, oblits). Psi Tornado, Burn, and FSC have similar recharge; I'd let Mr Melee do his thing, toss in Tornado, run into melee for Burn and FSC, plink at whatever's still standing. Fair warning: this may not be the bast strategy vs. Nemesis or other enemy groups who are showering the tank with AoEs. In which case, you'll want to stay a bit more at range and save your melee attacks to deal with 'squishy aggro' (both yours and others. Protect your support squad! They'll love you- and heal you and buff you- for it). Interestingly TK Thrust and Ring of Fire are your best ST attacks. ST chain looks like RoF, Mental Blast, TK Thrust (.1 gap). Aid Self to top off health between spawns. As with any build, getting your accolades will help.
options: If you drop the medicine pool, and the snipe (of limited value imho) you could grab maneuvers, assault, and vengeance; this would enable slotting 2 more lotg +rech and gain a damage buff, as well as a bit more defense.
If you swap SS for SJ and drop the snipe, you could grab acrobatics for a bit of mez protection; the tradeoff is you no longer have full stealth.
Either of these choices will cost you a bit more endurance, but should still be playable.
