01 : Brawl enhancement(01)
01 : Sprint enhancement(01)
02 : Rest enhancement(02)

(Yes I did'nt use colours the yellow is painfull to read and I cant figure how to change the colour's without going through and changing each colour tag)

This being the guide I used.

I dont pretend I know anything at all about blaster's or indeed blappers, but now is as good a time to learn as any.

Feel free to rate it, change it or post your own builds.
Any tips, even critical one's are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

(Even if you have no intrest in helping me, the movie is a great one to watch!)

Well I cant really coment on the build,I dont think you can really go wrong with these 2 power sets,that guide picks the powers for you.

Im only up to lvl 13 so far with mine but the first hour I played it felt like the first time I played CoH it was somthing I hadn't tryed before and now every time I play it I play with a big smile on my face.

The 2 sets combined give very good controll as well as a debuff plenty of self buffs and a shed load of damage.

I will stick my build up when I've got time but so far it rocks and is the quickest hero to lvl so far, and ive done a fire tank I3 style.

Another really good reason to have this sets is that you dont see many sonic blasters about infact I haven't seen any and Im quite sure that there isn't a Sonic blaster at 50 yet

Build is looking good, when you get stamina is when your build starts to come into it's own.

After lv 20 with stamina, you might want to look at swapping out the endurance reductions with recharge reductions - you will want to have a fast attack chain - one of the reasons Blappers are so good is that they keep pummeling you until you hit the deck.

If you're going to PvP alot you might want to look at slotting your attacks with 2 accuracy enhancements due to the reduced accuracy in PvP.

Sonic/En is a good choice for a blapper and you might want to consider taking swift for speedy unsurpressed movement during attacks, you can get away without hurdle as you have CJ.

Sonic has some great toggle dropping attacks, debuffs and mezs and the energy secondary also has lots - Sonic/En is a PvP animal as I found out over the weekend when we had a SG arena free for all.

A top tip is that you can also set bonesmasher to auto-hit with ctrl+click so that when any enemies come into melee range it automatically fires thus knocking their toggles with a bit of stun

If you need blapping advice come to the Precision Rangers thread on the Union page - that's where our blapping experts hang out

I have decided that as right as you maybe, I am going to stick with the -endcost enhancements. No doubt that I will eventually switch to the -recharge but atleast then I found it out myself!

Thanks for the tips, esspecially the ctrl+click idea, never thought of that one.

In the video the player is seen bobbing and weaveing, is this from Acrobatics or has he taken weave? The power tool tips look like the one's from the jumping pool though.

Also he appears to buff himself with lots of pretty colours (aw!) which buff is this one?

Agree with you on the endurance reductions - the only way to be sure is to play it yourself and tweak the build later (which is why I think respecs are great)

Haven't seen the vid but the bob and weave is typical of acrobatics the animation actually roots you for a couple of secs which can be annoying if you do it in mid-jump

Don't known what the buff is (i'll have to take a look at the vid at home) but I would suspect it's Total Focus

If you want to find out about the sonic primary speak to Sunrod in-game as she's a Sonic/Elec blaster, she posts on the boards as Kronos

If you want the colors, you can use Hero Builder and permanently change the colors in Setup -> Configuration -> Builder colors

K thanks guys.

I return with another question...

How to slot shout?
I think the planner I used for this build is wrong as it states the damage as 0.X yet the guide describe this attack as a high damage opener and recommends 3 slotting it with damage. For me this just doesnt add up..

Did you watch and enjoy the vid btw?

K

I'd bet there is at least one. Not me i hasten to add. Was a sonic/elec i teamed with a few months ago was at lvl 47or 48. I reckon they've dinged the big 5-0 by now.
