Energy Melee / Willpower.
Hard hitting single target, enjoy pounding on the Boss while Lts and Minions are healing you. -

Or people could learn to play a blaster better.
This is exactly what happened with the Fire/Kin trollers for a while, more difficult to level then being unmatched for farming after 32.
The blaster just offer the same level of efficiency as every other AT.
Peoples are lazy when it come to entertainment, nothing new here. -
Quote:It was City of Blasters up until they fixed smoke grenade, then the bandwagon jumped on something else. It was a different time, with tank guys tanking a sh..load of mobs and regen scrappers being awesomesauce in perpetual god mode. Boring times if you ask me because the few top builds were pretty much mandatory.Originally Posted by Dasher
Blasters were very popular early on. Mostly it was because they looked cooler effects-wise, but the "Small Vocal Minority of Idiots Who Must Whine" complained that Blasters were overpowered, that the game was becoming "City of Blasters"
For the actual blasters, I think, like some posters here that they lack a bit of survivability to let them do their full job, it can be addressed either by scaling their damage (which would be in in line with their glass canon role) or their defense. -
And its dreadfull Tier 9 Plate Throwing skill.

Madam_Enigma did a good description.
I started a DS/Poison MM and at level 18 I realised I was going the same path as my Thug/Poison MM so I made à DS/DM for novelty.
DM can handle more NPC a the same time so I usualy play solo with a 2-3 players setting but I had to put Heroes on Elite Boss. With poison on the other hand you can keep the Heroes but you should play with 1 player setting. -

I haven't seen this power in action, though, so I'm not sure how the Living Hellfire compares to Fire Imp, and I don't know how many can be active at once.

Here is a simple DS/FF build for whoever want to test the DS/FF mastermind.
The good thing with FF is that it does allow to take all primary powers. The drawback ? Well from a visual standpoint, FF doesn't look demonish.
If you don't have the appropriate Veteran badge to take the travel power at lvl 8 feel free to dish out Force Bubble from the build so you can take what you need.

I'm not familiar with IO sets so if someone can drop a build using them it would be great. -
My first 50 toon was a Bot/FF: It's a simple, semi/afk, beginner and solo friendly MM that can get you to 50 in no time at maximum mission difficulty setup.
The pro: when things go out of hand, just stand in the middle of the mob and let your bots wipe the field.
The con: it get boring in the long run, powerful but boring. Basically, you cast your bubbles, mow trough the mission's NPC with little more to do than refreshing force field and ordering your bots to attack (not even mandatory if you put them on aggressive).
Now if you want something more "active" go for poison, it's powerful and click intensive.
