    Defiance is a great inherent. For many Blasters (of the wise variety), those first 3 powers are the stars of their attack chain and are slotted effectively; so quickly taking out a mezzer is quite feasible.

    If you happen to be in over your head, there is no crime in popping a break free.

Just leave us be, and all will be well.
    Well put. It's an AT that requires some thought on how to operate it effectively and can easily put off people that don't want to be bothered with that.

    Blasting definitely puts you on the edge, but that's always been the idea. Some get it, others don't.

    I get it and love it.

    Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone.

    Sets like Thunderstrike and Red Fortune are rather expensive? Where are you shopping?

    Do you believe that it takes just as much effort to be late as it does to be punctual?

  16. This is the plan.
