I love my lvl 36 Fire/energy Blaster
He can run into battle but most of the time not walk away. I acquire debt faster then any AT I have played. The only way to get far in the game is to team up with a tank and/or controller.
I made my blaster specific for AOE attacks.
I found that the only way to deal major damage is with the closest range attacks (blaze, Bone smasher) granted I can kill the mobs < red with build-up/aim then inferno. but if I miss, i have no defense,& no endurance.
My beef is that my Blaster is supposed to be the highest damage dealer in the game, but is being shadowed by the scrappers. The scrappers damage potential is supposed to be with critical strikes. A blaster should generally deal more base damage.
The balance sux with ATs
Tank - highest HP / high dmg resist / high dmg dealer
Scrapper - medium HP / high dmg resist / high dmg dealer
Blaster - Low HP / low dmg resist / High dmg dealer
defender - low hp / low dmg resist / med dmg dealer
controller - lowest hp / low dmg resist / low dmg dealer
Blast and Contrl have almost no solo until later in game, and it still isnt much. Contrl at least get pets to take the damage for them. Blasters are stuck stealing aggro and running from mobs
I love my melee atks, and dont want to lose them, I dont use stun, I would love to see at least one defense on the secondary of blast Powers. Having low hp barely get you anywhere other then the hosp.
I would like to see the scrapper deal medium dmg until they hit a critical, then deal extreme dmg. And Blaster deal high dmg, and then extreme damage @ higher lvls. That would balance my issues with damage.
And if a blaster could gain resistance to their primary powers, even if it is only minor resists. (ex. fire gains fire resist, ice gains cold resist, AR gains lethal/smash resist, electric gains electric resist, energy gains energy resist). This makes a little sense as a hero would need a little resistance to control their attack... can you generate a flame on your bare skin and throw it at someone to hurt them and not you? or launch a bolt of electricity from your fingers to electricuit someone and not electricuit youreself in the progress?
