Without ED, the game would have died.

I have an elec/elec blaster in the late 30s. As others have eluded to, I've found I do better playing to drain the green bar rather than the blue. However, I primarly solo. So apparently end drain is intended as a team tool than a solo tool. Thats fair I suppose, but ultimatly I lost interest in the toon since his secondary was borderline meaningless to me.

Geez. Come to think of it, I haven't played my elec/elec since before IOs. I wonder if IOs would turn me back onto him. Have to look into that.

Don't tell anyone that I said this, but...Dragons Tail is so fun, I actually use it on single targets on a regular basis.

I hate it when that happens.

I wish there was a way to earn a Primary/Secondary/AT respec. I think that would be groovy as hell.. The low level content wouldn't get so old.

This is a sad day. My cubical at work has be rearranged such that both my monitors face the door. It wasn’t just me but everyone. Thus, people can easily see what I’m doing now. There is no good equipment or bodily re-positioning that I can do and my rear view mirror rarely helps.

How am I supposed to monitor the forums now?

Devs: Please redesign the forums so that they look like a MS Office application like Word or Excel.

The best answer to this is subject to other conditions. “Good contributor” is tough to define as well. Against tough mobs, I think the best blaster would be one that can survive the agro he creates...So that would generally mean focusing on single target style and +def inventions. (Again, if you’re on a team that is facing tough-hard-hitting mobs)

Against easier mobs, or if you have lots of protection in the form of buffs/debuffs/tanker, then an AOE blaster would generally be a “better contributor” than a ST oriented blaster.

Based on this high-level view, a ST blaster will generally be better for a team as he will bring more to the table when the team really NEEDS it.(i.e. kills single tough mobs faster rather than lots of easy mobs faster.)

Debt is generally meaningless these days. Off the top of my head, I’d say two average missions will clear off max debt. If you want a 50 blaster, I’d just finish off that 50 fire/fire you got.

Generally, AR/Dev would be considered the “Weakest” team blaster…likely the slowest soloing blaster…But can still do some things that other blasters can’t.

I just want to add that if universal slots(US) are coming, I'd really like to see the requirment for obtaining a US be smoething other than raw farming.

I think it would be good for there to be a requirement for content requriements. Such as:

x number of badges.
Accolades x, y and z.
x number of contacts completed
Teamed x number of hours
x pvp kills
x number of oroboros.
dayjobs x y and z
Defeated AVs x, y and z.
defeated GMs x,y and z

etc.

My math is a little weak, but according to my calculations, 114% of toons are created for the purpose of farming.

Seriouslly though. Reward game content...not farming.

Any body know how many hours this takes?

Batman can "plan" to be any AT he wants.

Planning DP/Energy or DP/Ment. But I might modify it based on how the set plays.

Hoping it's focus is single target...50 levels of AR has me turned off of AOE attacks.

I actually made a Batman inspired toon out of an AR/Trap Corruptor. Yes, he uses guns, fire, poisons and explosions, but it still worked for me.

I had a spines/fire for a while. The animations for spines got to me and I also had trouble 'explaining' how this guy protudes spines AND blows fire from his bodily orifaces.

Doesn't bother me to see someone else with the powers, but I have this 'thing' with having my toons powers make sense.

Someone should also mention, that probabilty-wise, a purple should drop in about 1 out of 5000 kills. Of course, individual results vary.

I'm not sure who said that, but I've seen that number posted a few times. So I cant point you a source right now.

It's posts like this that force me to make a new alt. Thanks alot. I still don't have a level 50 hero cause of people like you!!

Anyone who disagrees with my views is evil. Therfore, I am lawful good.

Seriouslly though, my main hero would be lawful good...kindaof a a weird blend of Superman, Cap America and Neo.

My main villain would have to be chaotic neutral. Blend of Batman and a basic merncenary.

I'll trade vet costumes pieces for more power slots.
