look through the first 3 pages or so on the pvp guides forum, there have been numerous topics and builds posted recently regarding psy/em blasters for pvp

Keep in mind also that even though that you shouldnt slot those 2 purple sets just for the heck of it, those 2 specific sets in particular dont go very well in powers 6 slotted, what i see most commonly is a dual slot of the fortunata hypnosis to get the recovery bonus since ur already putting the placate proc in there but thats about it. 6 slotting an attack with either of those 2 sets, even though theyre purps, probably wouldnt work out so well on a psy/em blaster, mixing with devastations and thunderstrikes in the attacks work best usually, but then again its all up to personal taste, just something to be aware of.
You only really want the Placate Proc from the Fortunata set and slot it in Will Domination. If you manage to find the slots, you can place the other 5 in Flash Freeze from Cold Epic. I found better usage of slots else where in my build.

So, another thing I was wondering, now that this particular toon has reached 30, is how Energy Manipulation works as to being one of the best PvP builds to choose. What I mean is, why is EM such a great secondary power set?
Energy boost seems like an okay power, but without it being permanent, it's hardly enough to make th whole powerset worth it. I do have alot of alpha strike abilities with build up and range boost, energy boost, etc... But again, I have no idea where to start.
I did check out the PvP forums, however I did not find any builds for my PsyEm. Instead of redirecting me, can you give me links to the specific threads, it paste information/advice/builds for them here? Or even better, original ideas and help are always appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Boost Range is what makes EM the best. The only set IMO that gives it a run for the money is /Dev basically because of webnade. What gives EM the huge edge though is having build up.
Really the only powers you need from EM is power thrust - great for knocking toons around with not enough KB protection when they get too close, boost range and build up. Power boost can be nice for some sets, mainly Sonic, Rad, and maybe Archery. Some people take total focus because it does hit like a truck and has the auto stun, but its situational at best because the animation time can get you AS'ed if you aren't careful.
If you would have really checked the PvP Forum you would have found at least 4 posts in the first few pages with "Psy/Em" in the title....

Hey there, I recently decided to roll a blaster because I'm used to farming on my tank and I want to give PvP a try. I know that Psionic damage is very good in PvP because most people don't have resistance against it, and a friend in-game told me to go with EM, because Boost Range and boost Power supposedly make sure that I am never out of the fight.
Now, I also saw that the Fortuna set (Superior) is dirt cheap in WW's, and the entire 6 enhancements can be bought for under 10 mil. I also saw that a similar Superior set for sleep was up for dirt cheap as well, and decided that it would be relatively easy to completely IO this toon out, as well as give her two superior sets for under 100 mil...
My question now is:
This is my first blaster, how do I slot her? I'm used to slotting for maximum defense and resistance, and using melee attacks, which doesn't matter worth a crap in this situation. Keep in mind, I need a confuse and a sleep ability six-slotted in order to provide her with those two Superior sets. But other than that, how should I go about making her a great PvP toon?
Builds and advice would be greatly appreciated.
