The two cents that I would like to add here at this point is that, while I don't disagree that the powers that were nerfed in the 5/11 patch were unbalanced, I feel that there are several powers that are even more unbalanced, yet they were not fixed.
Have you noticed that nearly every character that's 35+ is a devices blaster? That's because Targeting Drone allows Snipe to do a whole damage to deep purple bosses (in particular things like Totems who can't get to you if you're hovering), and because Caltrops + Ignite / Rain of Fire / other AoEs + running around corners allows blasters to kill large groups (by large I mean danger zone size) of high level enemies at relatively low risk.
Also I want to mention the brokenness of the Fire/Ice tanker, who can take provoke and use that to get really high enemies to run into Burn that then proceed to trip on the Ice Patch, both of which always hit. We were using that technique the other day when a group of 25/26s were killing everything that moved in Brickstown, including large spawns of level 35 Vampyrs and Nightwolves.
So basically what I'm saying is, can you please try to fix the most serious balance issues (the ones that truly are causing people to powerlevel), or at the very least say that the power is difficult to come up with a good solution to how to balance it effectively, but that the problem is being worked on?
Thanks for reading my rant.
