My two highest level blasters are a level 30 energy/energy and a level 16 AR/Electric. My level 30 is a blapper and my level 16 is a more "conventional" blaster.

The position that blasters don't need the higher damage cap because they are not in melee as much doesn't work too well for my level 30 blapper. Is the blapper minority sufficiently numerous to have any influence on the blaster damage question? In a duo I am most effective when teamed up with a bubbler. I am quite happy with the amount of damage I do, but if I get a buff I would not complain.

I really like your guide. Particularly the parts about how to form a group and define your role in it. While my tank(fire/em) might not have the durability of some other tanks I still think it is quite workable. I also am planning on picking up teleport foe as a ranged no LOS taunt, a herd thinner, and as a perequisite to my favorite travel power. Your guide kind of makes me want to get back on my tank and get him up a few levels.
