I have to put in my two cents here. I am currently well into level 35, I run through FF and Bricks when not doing missions. I look for groups of 3 or 4 whites, including Lieus in between my Novas. I have the Nova regenning every 2.5 minutes. I have no problems taking out the whites in this fashion, (the Lieu being yellow). If I am careful I finish and move to the next group, if I relax I just might die. Its fun, its a little dangerous, i do not feel gimped at all. In fact, I look for +1 or +2 groups when I Nova and can usually take out the remainders if I am careful to have an inspiration available for end. It becomes messy if more than one thing survives the blast, once again a little bit dangerous but not undoable. This is basically the same thing I was doing before update 2 and in fact Im doing better now because I have respec'd. I cannot feel gimped by update 2, and nor do I think I am so overpowerd that I need to be nerfed at this point. I seem to be the minority, a happy Blaster, but I wanted to let all know that there are some of us out here.
