Hi Folks,

Based on the "new rules" upcoming I am taking another swipe at Blasting. Here is a AR/Dev blaster i have been toying with. The main theme here is Range, when that doesnt work, Keeel fast , and if that doesnt work I am going to try to trick/stealth/bomb, etc., using teammates as agro sponges. Lastly, an e-mail chock full of awakens, sigh. M30 Grenade with be 6-slotted with the Overwhelming Force, nicely turning that knockback crazy power into a very nice AoE that is team friendly and regularly available. I will gladly take advice on power choices, build tips, and any hints on a paint job as well. Thanks in advance.

Build is missing caltrops which is immensely useful solo and on a team (depending upon team makeup - obviously do not use with melee peeps who have Invincibility for example).

Put the Kismet in CJ not in Afterburner since it toggles on/off with the power

Level 22 is Beanbag though no power is listed.

You're at 42% Ranged when the stealth effect from Cloaking Device(in Mids go to options/configuration/maths and effects) is suppressed - were you aiming at 45%?

Need to stick a stealth IO in Sprint to stack with CD if you want to toe bomb.
