oh, you know firsthand about fotm builds pre-issue#2? What a wealth of knowledge you must have.

the only time our damage is "sick" is when bu+aim is applied. How it should be.

And post issue 2, even with bu, i cant single alpha strike yellow minions anymore. Gotta clean em up with other aoe/single target attacks.

I dont know what you guys are fighting, but no blaster waltzes up to big groups of even +3 reds anymore and just kills them all. Maybe before issue 2 you had a case but those days are *over* for all blasters, everywhere. Mobs are harder now. If it aint a minion, its even more insane. A single Vampyre orange boss handed me my [censored] the other day.

And single target damage? Why would I play what basically amounts to a ranged scrapper? Why play some fragile little blaster thats good for one target at a time, when I can have secondaries that make my defense as good as a tank, with equal, and in some cases superior single target dps? What makes a blaster better in that case? Just because your orange number is a little higher than what the scapper is doing? Even though the scrapper can stand toe-to-toe with +2 mobs while /em newspaper and you have to run like a little girl?

no thanks. You guys will see, but you keep thinking that AoE is "too powerful." It doesnt surprise me that a fire tank and single target dmg blaster think so.

States,

Why is it being viewed as an "issue" to be "solved?" If the Devs nerf AoE damage, what role do you see blasters having, and how are you going to prevent just about every AoE blaster subsequently rolling up a scrapper (or cancelling subscription altogether)?

Please don't nerf AoE damage.

thank you and good night ladies and gentlemen, Heph will be here all week.

I'd advise arguing with that one. Anyone who takes the time to lecture others on the defensive possibilities on blasters, while proudly displaying to all in their sig their single blaster build at under lvl 20, should simply follow your sign to the def boards.

Personally, and I posted this thread on the general power discussion, I think the solution to all woes, for every AT, is a powerpool soley for mez fx mitigation. Thats really the trump factor for *every* damage dealer. Mez: it kills scrappers and blasters dead. If there was an adequate mez defense, a lot of folks would be happier and view the coming difficulty changes with less stress.
