Yup, pretty much it. Blasters are a 1-man team wrecking house already. Without a team, you're pretty SoL in beating one. Sometimes, a really well played dominator coupled with a really well made build can take one out solo, but it's not common. Elec/Therms can too, if they are lucky enough to survive long enough for the end drain to take effect.
Imho, Blasters are way over the top right now in pvp performance.

Not all blasters are psy and sonic.
call me a noob but I have been using an elec/thermal, and unfortunately they can still pop blues or hibernate and then finish the arsewhoopin they started, just don't have the hp or resists to slow down the destruction.
I guess if they've stopped carrying breakfrees a hold might work, if you are a dom. Other holds are a waste of the casting time. I don't even like doms but if I thought I could build one that would consistently beat blasters I would lol.

My Dark/Cold Corr wrecks most Blasters I've been facing mainly because of the huge KB in Torrent. The ones I can't beat are the ones that I can't KB.
I can see a Mind/Nrg Dom stomping most Blasters without too much trouble.
Thanks for the tips guys.

all you need is mind/ or /energy. having both is a needless redundancy.
also, i dont think its so simple as just kb to neuter a blaster. i might be biased though because i pvp on sonic/ and psi/ blasters.

Yup, there's fire too, and from what I've seen/experienced (both playing/recieving) it's still doing dang fine as well. And soon, there will be Rad.

Rad/em will be fricken nasty with how little stun res most squishies have. Couple dam/mez HO's+pb = ~5 sec stun = f'd squishy.
Not to mention as soon as they hit you they will continue to hit you thx to -def and lazer eyz has higher base acc.
The cast times are quick, but slow at the same time so will probably hit pretty dang hard too if corr/def values are any indication.

I think that vills sorta got shafted this Prolif round honestly. I mean...Trollers with /Cold Dom and Blasters with Rad/? Ouch. MM's getting /Thermal is the only exception, every other prolif was pretty much geared toward further Hero dominance. I don't even know why I'm surprised, but yea, as far as my villains are concerned, I do feel slightly cheated...but I guess I shouldn't have expected any less...
My one comfort in all of this bullcrap, is Going Rogue, which will hopefully finally grant villains access to Blasters/Defenders, so they can [u]finally[u] have access to REAL pvp AT's, and not gimmicks 
I actually have hopes for BS/ stalkers and earth assault might be interesting, but trick arrow corrs will be fun lulz in zones

You know, I have "hope" for BS/ Stalkers, but honestly, I have a feeling they're going to have pittiful damage values in the end, given how careful the dev's are to give us any "meaningful" power red-side. And Earth Assault...who knows. It's a toss up, but naturally, I have hopes that it ends up rocking hardcore. I just seriously doubt it. At least though, it will be a "fun" new toy for a little while, even if it doesn't happen to be the best.
TA for Corruptors will not yield the same results as TA for Defenders either. The only nice thing about TA for Corrs will be that they can help setup "AS's" a little better. But, alas, lets not forget that a half [censored] Blaster spike will kill the Arrow snapping Corruptor in 5 seconds or less from range...so there goes that.
If my math is correct, although, it isn't in many cases
PvP Numberz(Approximately::
Neutrino Bolt: 98
X-Ray Eyez: 130
Irradiate: 7 (lol)
Electron Haze: 93
Proton Volley: 260
Cosmic Burst: 168
Neutron Bomb: 51
Atomic Blast: 333 (Max damage)
I would say im within 10 more or less of the actual numbers
I can't wait to make my rad/electric blaster.
I'm going to IO him out.
Oh yeah, Ravens, I'm coming for you.

meh Headsplitter is a cone, so it won't be a 100% crit chance from hide. When it does crit it will hit a bit harder than ET.
HS was always the "dreaded" BS attack, the rest are ok, but nothing that can't be matched and even bested by other attack sets.
It also lacks a real mez and the kb mags are pretty low.

Seriously? I wouldn't really count Cold Domination for Controllers anything special--slows are still slows, and they will still be laughable at best. Slows don't do anything anymore.
Now I'm just hoping for Earth Assault to be comparable to Fire.

Yes, seriously.
Just imagine what a well built Fire/Cold/Primal Troller is gonna do to you. 3 Fire Imps all buffed up with Defense, combined with a total of -60% damage res thanks to Sleet+HL, on top of slows, on top of the fact that Benumb can literally shut down your ability to heal yourself as well as it can shut down Hibern00b, coupled with PB+Holds+Benumb which will lower your ability to "break" from the hold. Oh yea...sure, there's nothing to worry about from a */Cold Troller..
And that's just "one" combination which */Cold will mesh perfectly with. There are several others...
Then furthermore, there's Rad Blast for Blasters...an AT that can already attack while mez'd, can now continue to attack WITH a proc'd to the gills Neutrino Bolt which recharges in under a second for a constant stream of "proc-able" damage, backed by Blaster damage values and Blasterfiance.....ouch.
Colds are still LOL and there is no way in hell that a blaster who know what he is doing(and has enough kb prot) will lose to ANY dom.

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

What's the rock to the blaster's scissors? I mean villain builds, in pvp zones, and preferably not a stalker.
