Blasters can be difficult to play well, and not die a lot. Defenders can be difficult to play as well though. Do a little searching and you'll find horror stories about badly played defenders (stormies seem to get the worst rep).

[/ QUOTE ]

you'll also find stories about about defenders soloing everything in the game short of hami and stories of defenders being freaking saviors of teams

Its really hard since IOs came out to say if a power is completely skippable simply because you might take a crap power for an IO mule and never use it. I would definitely say that fireball and blaze are the two "staple" powers from fire. Also Ive always leveled to 22 with w/e I want and looks cool then respec to pick up stamina and be able to slot it at 22.

corrupters have TA?

It really depends on what you want to do with the character during level up and post 50. Ive found them both to be equally effective, efficient, and just plan fun while maintaining two different styles of play. From what ive been told by my friends who ive refered to the game, they start out with a defender and then get really turned off by either A) its not astounding damage or B) its lack of effectiveness on teams in the early game. Then they go to blasters which is a much simplier style of play, shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more and when everything is dead try to ask a question or two, and prefer that. However, Ive found defenders to be the best later game character out of all the ATs. their ability to buff/debuff everything to hell and back, making teams unstoppable or making enemys fall at your feet is amazing. Not to say that a blaster is "easier" to play by any means, just that a defender is that much harder because of what they do. Blasters are a bit more noob friendly with the potential to be amazing, while defenders are a little more complex in how they play to be equally as amazing but have a greater effect on team play.
Ex. a bubbler, being able to soft cap the entire team improving the survivability of squishy blasters allowing them to do even moar damage not having to worry about dying or getting mezed(for the most part). in return, it is doing less damage than said blaster but still be just as awesome.

in short: both are good, if you wanna do damage and alot of it make a blaster. If you prefer teaming, having the ability to give some good support while still being able to do decent damage, make a defender. Whichever one you choose wont be a disappointing.

...That's *not* stoked about Going Rogue? For me, I see less pros and more cons. Like, if defenders make their way to villains, corruptors will most likely be ignored. People will prefer Tankers to Brutes. Am I just being overly-negative?

[/ QUOTE ]
It really is just you man...

More seriously, what I've heard other people complaining about is that *Tanks* will be ignored in favor of higher damage Brutes and *Defenders* will be forgotten in place of higher damage and nearly as buff-capable Corruptors.

...sooooo what will be the "PERFECT" makeup for team play:

Defender

Most people on these forums just go:

"Booo that wont work!!"

"Well... do you have any ideas?"

"Of coarse not. But... I know yours is stupid!"


[/ QUOTE ]

Actually people have come up with ideas. much much better ideas than this. Had you searched, you would have known this and we could have avoided this entire thread. kbai

A) just....no

B) castle came out and said that growing/shrinking were two power sets he would like to see added but wouldnt be for a long time.

smashing damage and that is the most resisted damage type on the game so your damage would be terrible.

just like archery with all its lethal damage. that set sucks

[ QUOTE ]

No way. In WoW, you can easily get kicked from a dungeon group because your "equipment sucks", and you just aren't "good enough" to be in their group.

Thank god we havent gotten that bad in this game.

I'm here to enjoy myself not listen to a total stranger tell me how wrong I am.

[/ QUOTE ]


then dont. if someone is going to tell you what your "doing wrong" from looking at your enhancements, then they are probably going to tell you what your "doing wrong" with your powers, bonuses, badges w/e which they can already do. if they bother you, /ignore thats what its there for. (though i really think if this was put in place there would be an option to turn it on and off). As for the idea, sure why not.

but most people burn out on games really quick when you can beat them in 1 to 2 days


[/ QUOTE ]
Please explain ... How do you beat an MMO in 2 days?

[/ QUOTE ]

Depends on the player. For a general person, especially one who has never played an MMO before, the first goal that comes to mind is reaching max level. To alot of people this equates into "beating the game" which as mentioned can be accomplished in a little less than a week(or say two days if you tried). Some like to do every tf/sf and once finished would call that "beating the game". Its really to each his own which. What i call beating a game and what someone else would call beating a game would be completely different.
