1. Is there any changes i could make to the order of powers in the pre-lev 41 choices?
[/ QUOTE ]
You didnt specify what kind of PVP did you primarily have in mind? Arena? Zones? solo? team? Your power choices look nice to me. Im not familiar with much of the sonic primary but looks good. Superspeed would help an awful lot if you do pvp blapping, but I cant see anything to remove.. Personally Id take superspeed as the last power with 3 epics.. Inasmuch useful as sirens song is. One other thing against which the sleep is useful is bubblers, because dispersion bubble offers no sleep protection. But good movement is paramount against ANY opponent.

2. if there anything tin the pre-lev 41 choices that i dont really need?
[/ QUOTE ]
Nope. Can't see any. Its a question of what to squeeze in. You might wanna put some extra jump slots to hurdle and combat jumping though from somewhere.

3.does power boost really increase you defense by 100% of its value when power boost is activated?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. It increases your other defbuffs value 100%, not your total defense though. So PFF will have double defense while power boost is active. On the other hand if you have no extra defbuff powers or effects active then power boost doesnt increase your defense.

4. will power boost increase the effect of range boost?
[/ QUOTE ]
No.

5.what epics pools do you think would be better out of force mastery and ice mastery? and can anyone alter my build so that i can fit in super speed and 3 epic power choices? (lord knows iv tried)
[/ QUOTE ]
Personally I like force mastery. Its especially good vs melee toons and overall I recommend it. Cold mastery is useful in certain pvp duels, and will give an edge in Blaster vs blaster duels specifically because snow storm prevents aid self use.
I dont like the other two epic pools much.

6.probably a noob question but power boost doesnt increase the recharge effect of hasten does it? (a correct anwser will end 2 weeks of debate between me and a friend)
[/ QUOTE ]
It does not.
ps. I suspect the range in amplify is herobuilder bugging out again 
i guessed you'd be the first person to respond hammer was just gona send you a in game /t. thnx for advice
Iv been giving ice a look and it looks pretty kool (excuse the pun)
im mainly solo zone pvp (wish it was otherwise but nvm....) only enter arena when im dueling friends. i hardly use arena for competitive pvp.
im curious as to how effective frozen amour would be with power boost doubling its effect thats about 32% defense to smashin and lethal. which sounds pretty good to me.
frozen amour is a tpyed defense to smashing and lethal(16%) and resistance to fire(7%) and ice(21%) . But iv never been clear on how typed defense work as most powers with energy/ice/fire/neg energy contain a portion of smashing and lethal anyway. so do you get defense against a move like bonesmasher with only smashin and lethal resistance?
snow storm sounds prett ygood in that it will stop aidself (what out elec brutes!) and with with power boost i may just get a pretty good slow on the recharge. If i use it jus before going in to blapp on say the MM or brute for example i should be able to do so without worrying about stalker AS's as so long as they within 25ft of my target (which they would have to be to AS me) they will be in the snow storm and will keep gettin interuptted.
my attack plan may go something like.
1.snow storm 2.boost range 3.ranged attacks (reduce resistance by about 30%) 4.power boost(will hopefully boost frozen amours defense making it safer to go in to melee)5.aim+build up 6.screech 7.(close into melee) total focus+ energy punch+bonesmasher (by this stage all forms of toggle mez resistance will have been broken with stuns except regens with resilence, with snow storm still active the -recharge should slow the recharge of the toggles)8.finish up with blasts (if target actualy survived all that..... or i lived long enough)
oki pretty bold statement but with practice its more than possible in most 1 on 1 situations

I forgot to add that snow storm is also autohit -fly and does some -speed and -recharge.
It is pretty good if you plan to stay at range only.
Hibernate is relatively useful as a panic button.
Power boosting the slotted frozen armor is pretty good defense, but remember that power boost has slightly longer recharge than build up and aim. (ps I think I just noticed a typo in nofuture tables, power boost recharge btw..)

Main problem is the epic choices, as far as i know the pre-lev 41 powers are pretty standard for a pvp blapper.
ideally id like to get force mastery as a epic choice. if only for force of nature and pff defense to heal myself with aidself with only a small chance of being interupted by dammage.
but i cannot fit them all in and still take Super speed. which i think is pretty essential for a blapper. Though i have seen some good blappers do well without it.
theres alot of stuff id like to do with this toon. but all the power pool choices have limited my options. Boost range looks great and it adds to the range aspect of my blaster, which is pretty poor compared to his melee ability.
I did want to have sirens song (50 degree cone/ sleep and 10% resistance). Mainly as it is pretty useful versus master minds. You can put their henchmen to sleep for a pretty long time if slotted with sleep duration+power boost, then attack the mastermind with your melee atacks. and the pets dont wake up even though they are taking damage from body guard mode. because you arent directly attacking them.
Flash freeze in the ice epic pool looks pretty good aswell but i wouldnt take both that and sirens song. to my knowledge flash freeze is auto hit, and is better. hero builder says it is a target AoE rather than cone. So i wont have to worry about lining myself up to much. And il be able to use it at long ronge if infact i take boost range.
i Know elec mastery gives the best resistance shield but i have little use for all else in that set. it has a Hold but with only one hold in my entire build il have to wait a few seconds before i can even break through acrobatics hold resistance. which is silly when i can take it off in 1 shot with screech (Single target stun mag 3) .
so now for my questions..
1. Is there any changes i could make to the order of powers in the pre-lev 41 choices?
2. if there anything tin the pre-lev 41 choices that i dont really need?
3.does power boost really increase you defense by 100% of its value when power boost is activated?
4. will power boost increase the effect of range boost?
5.what epics pools do you think would be better out of force mastery and ice mastery? and can anyone alter my build so that i can fit in super speed and 3 epic power choices? (lord knows iv tried)
6.probably a noob question but power boost doesnt increase the recharge effect of hasten does it? (a correct anwser will end 2 weeks of debate between me and a friend)
when you reply to this post please read all the questions carefully and, i would be grateful if you anwsered as many of them as possible. this is a pvp build and as such has some choices tha may look odd to some players
