I play an nrg nrg blapper from time to time that's a lot of fun. I didn't take hasten on that build, but did get tough/weave, and will take the cold mastery pool. I only have 2 ranged attacks+nova, but there is plenty of hard hitting stuff in the secondary to rip a boss to shreds quickly. Air supreriority+power blast is great for a soft control, and the damage output and secondary effects in the other attacks make for a lot of fun.
Oddly this blaster does much better in teams than solo.

Yeah I read the nrg/nrg guide about blapping and it seemed pretty solid. It's probably one of the things that got me thinking about the fact that i've never actually made a blapper..

Elec/Elec can work well for blapping and you can completely drain mobs of endurance so that they cannot fight back
My main is an energy/energy/force blapper. I use the AoE KBs in the primary for control and then wail away on the stuff that's still in my face.
Fire/energy or fire/elec is a good solid blapper combo. Lots of damage it's a kill them before they kill you build though or takes some IOs to give some mitigation to allow you to last long enough to deliver all your damage against tougher foes.
Ice/elec or Ice/energy is a nice solid blapper build too. Decent control in the primary with blaps to take the slowed/held stuff out. Blizzard + Power sink is really fun.
Elec/energy is a good Sapper Blapper combo. It comes into it's own once you get Power Boost and can drain all the end out of a spawn with Short circuit + Ball lightning.

You can actually play fire/fire as an AoE blapper. You use the only affecting self part of invis to run into a mob with hot feet on, then drop the invis so they panic and you don't get horribly alpha struck.

Sonic primary, pick a secondary. Joust like mad to get from cone range to pbaoe/melee range and back again.

I don't you spend so much of your time jousting that you aren't dealing as much damage as you might otherwise be doing.

The Electric Mastery epic pool is also good for blapping. Its shield gives Smash/Lethal and energy resist, and the godmode it recently had added is a lot of fun.
@Roderick
<sonic QR> but sirens is definitely nice for the blapper, sonic is a strong contender.
I'd say
ST Prime: Ice - Sonic == Energy == AoE Prime: Electric - Fire
ST Secondary: Energy - Electric == AoE: Fire
As for pools? Fitness and medicine are probably the most important.

I've always wanted to try a blapper but have never had the courage to start working one.
So the question is, what primary and secondaries are best suited for it?
I've heard energy/energy
Fire/energy
electric/energy
All having decent synergy with the blapper mentality.
Would I be going down the wrong route picking any of them?
Is there something I missed?
What pools are recommended?
Leaping - +def and mez protection
Fighting - ? Costly, but worth it?
Fitness - Obviously
Speed - Hasten?
Medicine - Self Healing
How about Epics?
Force Mastery seems to stand out with PFF, TI and FoN all giving some nice defensive bonuses.
I'm very much considering making a blapper now though, just looking for more information.

This may sound strange, but I'd say an i15 dominator.
The new buffs make them into blapper2.0's.
Not all that much less damage than a st blapper, but heaps more safety.
