Any thoughts?

 

Learn how to use knockback.

Slot up KI push with 2 acc, 1 recharge, and a knockback. If it fits character conception, slot a https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Blistering_Cold:_Recharge/Chance_for_Hold

Make it your autofire power.

You can even corner bosses with Ki Push if you slot it up. It works as  soft hold.

If you are on a team, you need to find a corner or, at least a wall, to fight your target to limit how far they are knocked back. Close into melee range and keep knocking them back into the corner or wall as soon as they start getting on their feet.

 

If it fits character conception, adding a https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Lockdown:_Chance_for_%2B2_Mag_Hold to one (or two) primary powers with a fairly quick recharge is a plus.

 

I haven't run a storm/martial arts blapper, but I can say that have really enjoyed ice blast and dual pistol /martial arts blappers.

That looks like a lot of fun. I love the SMASH of the stone hammers on my tank. I have to imagine it would be even more satisfying with blaster damage.

 

I ran with a Black Scorpion team last night. I think they were apprehensive when I dove right into the mix and went mondo wacko. Soon though, I was getting questions about the build. I hope they find this. It really is a very odd way to play a blaster. All the tools it brings is impressive. I even like the catastrophic consequences when I overstep my bounds. I haven't gone down yet, but it's been very, very close a few times. Gets the blood pumping, ya know? I was only 34 while they were all higher 30's - 40's. 50/50 SO's to Attuned enhancements.

Avoiding the obvious fire/ice/ar answers,

Rad/elec and Psi/ninja perform very, very well at shredding packs and hard targets alike.

/Energy has some heavy hitting attacks, it's very satisfy to move in and destroy the Bosses. I like the classic Energy/Energy but Sonic/Energy is also fun and great for soloing (most due to Siren's Song.)

Sonic/Energy sounds like fun. Do you have a build?

This is my final build, so it's very purpled-out.

As a retired pvper, there was a long time where the only secondary power set that Blasters had access to was Energy Manipulation. The other ones did not exist at least to me and a lot of my friends.

 

/EM was the predominant blapping power set combined with jousting. Such a fun play style. When I occasionally pull out my fire/em or ice/em that I recreated and play them in over that way on teams I get some weird comments like I'm moving around like a ping pong ball on Adderall.

I am tinkering with the Sonic/Energy build. I am trying to put in some decent defences and when you do that, it gets even more expensive. I don't know if it's worth it but I am going to work on the build for a bit.
