Anyone played this before?Would like to here how well it did.

Ankhammon:
I've played both parts before but not the combo. Looks like fun, but I do see some potential downfalls here. Primarily, in your End recovery (at 1.13 EpS) and ranged Defense (22.7%).
Whenever I've played blasters those are two key components of making me happy... cuz I get to play fast and do a scrapperlock thing.

I put together my version of your combo to give you an idea of what I think would make for a good build for this combo. I was able to add quite a bit of recovery (2.34 EpS) and some good ranged defenses (33%) for you as well as some decent resistances and mitigation choices.
I did have to give up your self heal, some of your recharge and s/l defense to do it, but I'm pretty sure you won't take huge damage with this setup. The only time that would happen would be if you wanted to spend your time in melee and you have a get out of melee free power with caltrops.

I envision your attack chain for groups as follows: Stealth in/Smoke Grenade (-7.72 tohit)/Night Fall (-6.76 tohit)/Soul Tentacles/Ice Storm/Frost Breath. This will provide an additional -14.48 tohit (you will be at the effective soft cap on Ranged D), ensnare your victims, add -30% recharge to them all while damaging the group for ~633 points of damage (plus whatever your drones are doing and defiance boosts). This should drop the minions and leave you to mop up the boss and maybe lts.

Picking up the incarnates I've included will pop your ranged Defense (+mitigation) to incarnate levels as well as add some serious effects for you (status prot/rech/much needed range for you cones/etc).

At any rate take a look and see if there's anything in there you like.

worldweary:
Glad I ask :).I really don't like tp but I can already see it's better because I can use use it during missions and travel.Can't wait to see some of these builds in game again.Thank You!!It's really lucky I can get on here and get a different perspective.It helps so
much to refine the builds for team and single play.

Kawless:
Worldweary, last build,

I would get Ice Bolt, and drop Ice Storm since you already have Caltrops.
As a Blaster, few things are better than being able to use your first two primary powers while mezzed.

Bitter Ice Blast has a nice set in it, but you should put some damage in there.
Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, and Bitter Ice Blast are your bread and butter, and should be slotted up at lower levels.

I would swap out one Endurance Mod for Performance Shifter +10 end.

You could take the a slot from Field Operative and Combat Jumping and put them into Web Grenade and Web Envelope,
and slot with the last Enfeebled Operation; though you'd lose a few HPs.

That's all I got!
