ok so i think i figured out the blast element weapons. in the rare narga video that was posted earlier but to explain i'll use this specific video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfKNeb3zwTs&feature=channel_video_title. ok so at 6:20 is where there is an explosion from the blast element and after the explosion the slime from some of the hits is green. but the more hits you land on the monsters the color changes a yellow then to an orange then to a red that almost looks like blood, then the next is the explosion. you can see right at 6:07 that there is a red splat that is a lighter tint of red then the blood normally shown from a normal hit. i think that is the indicator that your next activation of the blast element will be the explosion.
