I believe it is sonic/energy for doing the most damage, but I am not sure.

Fire/EM was hands-down the best prior to I12, until Blasters got Psi Blast. In I13 the better Blaster builds are Sonic/EM and Psi/EM (not necessarily in that order). I've also seen people do decently with Arch/EM and Arch/MM.

Someone on my server is telling me this:
Psy > Fire > Ice > Sonic.
He says fire is better than ice because he beat the best ice blaster on server... Not sure where he got other conclusions from.
Anyways...
I would definitly roll with Psy, and if you're not a fan of the psychic powers roll a sonic em and make sure and stack some -res before using your heavy hitter shout.
If you roll a psy, experiment to see how you can aim your attacks so that they hit the target at the same time. I believe right now the best way to spike damage is Mental blast, Will Dom, then TK blast, but I could be wrong, as my psy blaster is only level 31 atm.
Depending on the situation Psi/ > Son/. Fire is firmly in third atm though I prefer playing fire blast over sonic on blasters. Ice is just garbage now. Everything it had going for it before i13(fast recharge and animations, good secondary effects) makes it just about worthless. Yes it can still be used but nowhere near the levels it used to be.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
Is this a good build to follow
http://www.cohplanner.com/builds/6367
bump no-one has any think to give criticism on?
It's awful and sure as heck not a pvp build. It's like your average joe pve build
are you serious can you link me to a better one
Lol...that would be a pretty could build, if it were issue 7.
Damnit man can you link me another because I already got that blaster to level 20

That build is sonic/elec. you want sonic/energy or psy/nrg. Here is a good psy/nrg build pvp build
If you want a good sonic/nrg just browse around in the pvp forums, you will find someone asking about sonic within the first 3 pages.
Just curious but if a sonic/em and fire/em were 2 fight with dr on in a 1v1 who do u think would win ?
Artic and the Chillz - Champion PvP League
Exile - Champion PvPEC 3v3-5v5 League
Exile - Freedom 5v5 PvP League 2012
Exile - Freedumb PvP League 2011
Exile - CAPE PvP League
I would go with the fire/em. The sonic/em has to start to build up the -res to get on par with the fire. Its why every sonic is so good in zones because every squishy has res. My opinion anyway.
As far as Primaries go, Id say pre I13 it was Fire+Ice>Sonic
After I13 (And once we got psy) Id say Psy (Cause its still bugged)>Sonic>Fire+Ice
As far as secondaries go EM is probably top b/c of Boost Range, Then I would say Elec and Psy are good in their own ways, Elec has the massive melee and end drain while Psy has Drain Psyche and World of Confusion which can be slotted for CP-Contagious Confusion which could be good stalker resistance.
And Epics, well most choose Ice for the Heal, Hibernoob and Def based Shield with Snow Storm (I guess not so much of that now) But I myself prefer the Munitions pool for the Auto Shield and Surveillance.
Either Way pick any of those sets and you got a nice Damaging Blaster...You choose your poison.
Psi beats all other primaries hands down...I've been getting wrecked all day by Psi blasters in zone and I'm kinda confused as to how they escaped the homogeny. Hopefully they don't follow the trend of everything else that's good and get Nerfed. Bets anyone...?

Psi Blasters do as well as they do because their tier 3 attack (Will Domination) isn't short-ranged like most other blast sets, and they have four solid single-target attacks other than their snipe (most sets have 3).
In terms of effectiveness of primaries before I12 it was Fire -> Ice -> Sonic (my first experience with real organized PvP was playing a friend's Sonic/EM in a 5v5 pentad tournament for a match or two). After I12, it was probably a tossup between Psi and Fire for number one, followed by Ice, and then Sonic. Post-I13, though, I'd say Psi -> Sonic -> Arch -> Fire. Ice really isn't much of a contender anymore due to the damage changes, and Arch kinda popped in because with global resistances damage type doesn't really matter, its inherent accuracy bonus directly counters elusivity, and Blazing Arrow hits like a truck due to its animation time, except it's also an 80-foot attack.

Just a question here:
Could someone clue me in on these Ice Damage changes I keep hearing about?

Well nothing slows in PvP anymore, which is stupid, it took away the point of slow powers. Lol, but Idk, I still like it and it seems to do... semi... ok damage.

Movement slows aren't very useful anymore (recharge slows are still good though). The biggest issue now is that damage is largely based on activation time, and Ice is a set that's famous because of its fast-activating attacks. In short, the aspect that made it one of the top PvP sets pre-I13 is the aspect that makes it probably second- or third-worst in post-I13 PvP (placing it ahead of AR and maybe Elec).

Well, here's the thing. In old pvp ice blast had a few things going for it. One was slows, as you admit this are gutted now so it has no real secondary effect. The other change that came in was balancing damage by damage per activation. With ice's big plus in the old days being its super fast activation you can see why the damage was gutted out as well. You can still proc ice up with some impeded procs and pvp procs and get some decent performance out it. No matter what you do though it won't come anywhere close to psi/ son/ or fire/.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
Isn't fire pretty fast activating?
Yes, but its secondary effect of more damage helps compensate for that.

Ive been searching for awhile and in pvp/guides they say blaster if not number 1 then number 2 most used in pvp I would like to know the best one I'm pretty sure its fire/em but I dont really know heroes to well.
