Light or Holy power set....

It's not something I'd like to see before other things are done first. Eventually? I guess. Anytime soon? No thanks.
... Still waiting for my Wind Blast. And Throwing Weapons.
We've got plenty of bright, energy-type powersets already.

Also this. Recoloring Fire, Energy, or Radiation will do the trick.|

... Recoloring most sets will do the trick.
Or go play a Peacebringer and smack Lore across the face like some people do!

Energy Blast colored yellow makes a good "holy"/"light"-blast set; the Carnival of Light uses gold-colored energy melee attacks for their powers.

I agree that Light or Celestial Blast would be a good addition if the developers had good animations for it. In part I feel that way because it is so abstract and can easily be retooled to many concepts.
(I was personally hoping Dark Control would be a much more abstract "Spirit Control" type set that allowed both light and dark coloring, but we got what we got there.)
No love for Luminous Blast?

the legacy chain have had "light" using enemies and they been here a long time, their "light" powers are just recolored energy blast powers

Not just recolored. Energy has that kind of bally semi watery look to it, the legacy chain's versions (and the Carnival of Light) are straight up light beams.

I thought legacy chain was recolored fire blasts?
-STEELE =)
Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
I personally picture something more like the beams of light in Pocket D and possibly using the holds/flashes of light from Illusion Control.
Luminous Blast does exist but you can't combine it with other sets.
There's other stuff I'd like first--like Swarm Blast, using the buf powers from Beast Mastery--but light sits way up there for me too.
[And don't let me forget Gravity Blast!]

That would be a bit redundant since some of their ranks have fire blasting/summoning guys in it.|

But 'divine'/holy light powers would probably be a combination of energy and fire....but the secondary effect? Dark does the tohit debuff and kinetic does -dmg...
How about Radiation Blast recoloured?

I find rad fits a kind of orb blasting motif which is cool by itself.|

Energy is like DBZ ki blasting which seems like 'solid' bursts since it pushes things instead of vaporizing stuff.
Beam rifle is more a sciencey wave, like plasma or something.
If they were making a light set, i'd hope for solid lasers like the robotics rifle but thicker beams. If it were holy, it probably shouldn't have a shape at all, more like flashes and glints.
IMO of course...

Is the OP talking about copying that set from CO? The one where it hurts enemies and heals players?
Also, let's not bend (ahem) to the fans of Avatar over everything. I wouldn't be against a wind set but come on, can you imagine the copyright infringements popping up everywhere? It happens enough as it is, but this would be begging for it.
...I've never seen a single episode simply because the fan behavior irks me, much like most anime due to otakus.

But Light/Holy - already covered, with several different options.
I really should do something about this signature.

It works reasonably, but the mushroom clouds require some hand waving.

Actualy what's not covered by any blast set is blasts coming from the sky instead of your hands, which is what I picture here, personally. Like the Holy spell in various games.

That would work well enough. There's also no -Damage blast set besides Dual Pistols. And none that mezz with Confusion instead of Hold/Stun (in the nuke or in single target).
