Thats cool, wish I had that fire sword on my blaster. I find it interesting to note that PVP was always intended fopr the game which poo-poos those who say it was forced onto a pve game. Of course if it was intended from the start how could they make the ATs so horribly unbalanced to begin with.........

You'd think they just crippled the best power in the set or something.

I think it's the feeling of being kicked while you're down that's the problem. And fire manipulation, while hinky, ain't so bad if you're into spectacular victories and spectacular failures.

Fire manipulation can be great, you just need to ignore, blazing aura, burn, hotfeet (you know the powers that all other sets cant wait to get, the tier 8 and 9s) and team with half a dozen support classes to keep you alive. On the upshot, with so many crappy powers in the FM set you can fill up on pools. I love my fire/fire blastanker

Last time I checked, there is no Gadgets secondary. There is, however, one called Devices. Freudian slips like this and folks wonder why some hold the belief that the devs don't seem to know the Blaster AT all that much.

Gadgets is the internal name of Devices. It's a Legacy issue and it was my mistake when adding the patch note.

As for the change itself, there was an exploit involving TFoe and various stationary entities (like Auto Turret.) In fixing this, the player versions of these entities were locked down as well. I do realise this impacts one of the tactics Devices players used to bypass the limitations of the set. I'll be keeping an eye on this to see if the change hampers the gameplay too severely.

What gameplay? Why doesnt one of the devs play a /dev blaster to 50 just using pugs, that way you can see just how crappy the set is now. (yes i know some people can adapt around and play it well but a secondary shouldnt have to be graded in terms of difficulty, /dev would certainly be in the expert category as it stands)

Perhaps we should PM the red names as to when blasters are going to get a real look at and not a nerf to an already underperforming set.
