I now have 3 Blappers 
1 Energy/Energy which is great for controlling foes and dishing out major damage, and 2 Electric/Energy, @32 which is my PvP Zone toon, and 1 (Soon to be 21) for the little pentad tournament coming up. If you really want speed versus power, go for this, there is nothing quite like it (And you get snipe at level 12, along with Build Up and Aim 
)
Fire/Ice for the hardcore blapping frustration!
I'd say Ice/Elec or Elec/Energy.

u'd have a job, chraged brawl and havoc punch sleep as opposed to stun, this is prolly because stun + drain would be way overpowered, and to compensate for the lack of time control that KB has, we get sleep, still imo 2 acc 3 dmg 1 recharge/endred/enddrn is the way for elec melee.
i think imaginary summed it up
o and as for sonic, its far too slow imo, and the -res is barely worht it 1v1 unless against a tank

most of the */elec powers does take stun enhancers. Havok punch will also be allowed sleep enhancers with the upcomming patch though. Has always been wondring why you could slot electric meele for stun.

What i don't understand is the following... If you were hit with a bolt of electricity (Assuming you were a superhero of some sort) would you not assume it would stun you opposed to putting you to sleep? I feel the dev's need to re-think that one a little...

and an animation of your hair standing up on end like Doc from back to the future or albert einstein would be rocking too! Better still would be if you take down a minion with fire or elec to have a pair of smoldering boots left behind and no body!

Hmmm, time to PM State's methinks...
quite simply del, as i said, stun would be overpowered for elec melee, the range stuff has nothing but ebergy dmg and drain, the melee has smash/energy/sleep/drain, whichis a fair whack tbh.
thing is it comes down to whats what in CoX not just CoReality
i like the ideas for them smoking though
hope u rangers are well

Plight, isn't the trans-atlantic character copy tool working yet?
yup, i have a 44 blaster with stamina in need of a respec on Onion ready for invite, but sg needs alot of attention here and im only just getting back to full time CoHing, also i need to level to 40 on my dom (would like to at least), global me if u want me sometime tho mate

I have an Elec/ Ice blaster at level 11 and I am thinking what powers are best to go for?
I have currently:
Primary:
Electric Bolt
Charged Bolt
Short Circiut
Secondary:
Chilbain
Ice Sword
Chilling Embrace
and any ideas on the most effective enhancements would be great.

Undoing a Televison socket that was still live taught me about this. It freezes up all your muscles as if you were asleep until the connection is broken. THEN it hurts like hell. Sleep's the best way of describing that.

Guess it depends on the situation, when cleaning up after a titanic water fight (ah those fun student days :P) I made the mistake of going to make sure the light switch was not wet, so towel in hand I went to dry it (just in case) and gopt thrown 5 foot backwards by the jolt..I also made a squeek like a startled hamster.
Minimal damage to me other than the initial locking up of my body that was broken once I got thrown backwards, and a little bruising from the KB.

It says a lot about the AT's design when the 'high damage, no defense but prefers to stay at range' character can forego his ranged attacks entirely and do more damage in melee with little loss to survivabilty.
Fire/Eng FTW!

First copy of CoH i bought even on the installation screen it says Blasters are deadly in melee, though prefer to stay at range due to lack of protection.
Besides, you won't lose survivability to dead mobs, which is what they should be moments after you enter melee
