Squish! Carry awakens 
I'm with EJI on that one. A blapper needs defense or active mitigation as the primary build goal. Soft capping S/L and grabbing as much ranged defense as possible is usually my primary focus.
Even with all that in consideration Clarion is going to be a must have to keep mitigation toggles running so you can actually stay active in melee range.

Look at this thread.
A small purple from the softcap to all positions, strong s/l/e resistance and perma Drain Psyche- It's designed for melee play, and about as much damage as you can hope to get out of Rad Blast.
Thank you Two Headed boy. That helps.
I have develeoped a character concept along with a sudden interest in playing a Blapper. I have resisted a Blapper for a long time. I have tentatively looked around at a build, having no real build goals I went for +dam and +rech.
Can someone look at this and tell me the different ways I am crazy and/or if my inner genius is shining.
PS, I know it is not finished!
