Looking for Group based Blaster build.
Playing around in mids... (yay stuck at work all day!) I thought this looked like a damn fun team build. Psycho AoE blapping.

I don't have a full build, but I'd suggest Fire/Mental, focusing more on cones than PBAoEs. You get great AoEs and high damage for bosses, and you don't have to hang out in the middle of the enemy pack to do it. Even if nothing's shooting at you, getting nailed by splash damage from PBAoEs and such is annoying.
Of course if you know you're going to have lots of defense buffs or other survivability boosts and some healing to handle what damage does get through (like if you are playing on a set team), go Fire/Fire and just obliterate things. Just don't be surprised if you occasionally manage to pull aggro off a Tanker... or two or three of them for that matter. Fire/Fire is absolutely insane damage, with no mitigation whatsoever... but with enough buffs and debuffs you don't need mitigation of your own.
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

I find the difference between solo and group blasters to be not so much build as playstyle.
Here are some vague ill-organized thoughts on primaries:
Some teammates find Energy Blast to have inconvenient knockback. If you have Electric primary you may synergize VERY well with other electric sets. Sonic increases team damage and has good emergency buttons but is short on individual AOE. Fire does a chunk ton of AOE in a hurry - you can drop minions by the 8-pack without even using Build Up or Aim. (general note: take all the Build Up and Aim type powers you can.)
Other than that, there's a Blaster mini-guide in my sig.
Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.
So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
