a SINGLE electric blaster DOES drain endurance from an AV. BUT definitely not enough to make an impact. All secondary effects against AV's are resisted...it takes several electric blasters to make an appreciable dent in an AV (just like it takes many heroes to bring one down).

Ugh. So not only do I need to join a group that has other blasters, they need to be elec blasters?

We have often heard the assertation "Well, just as a fire blaster is best (among blasters) for taking out a group of minions, an Elec blaster is best for taking out bosses and AVs." But now you're saying the elec isn't even good at that unless you have two of them.

Meaning that elec blasters aren't minion killers or boss killers. I'm okay with my secondary only being useful against bosses and such, but it has to actually be useful against them.

There is no other archtype build that requires someone else in your group to have the exact powers you do in order to be effective. It's particularly silly to make this a component of a build that is already unpopular.

I am level 47 and to get the badges I want for these rewards I have two choices: find a portal mission that contains these enemies and farm it over and over or run around the lower level areas causing havoc.

Choice 3: Exemplar to an appropriate level Hero and help them get XP (and work off your debt) while you both get the badge. I know... it's just crazy enough to work.

Except that I don't have any debt at the moment, and intentionally dying to make exemplaring more attractive isn't sounding fun. I'll just keep running about sniping the Damned out of each group along the way as I run around PP. It'll be chaos in there for a few weeks, but should eventually calm down.

Yeah, my money is on next Friday too. Give people the weekend to play with it.

I'm guessing a rush for Fri, the 17th, and if they haven't gotten it fully stabalized, waiting til the next Friday. (the 24th)

Or the 24th if all the devs want to skip out and watch Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow to come up with Sky Raider mission ideas. :P
