Now, the issue is more specifically - what does a Blaster do that a Scrapper can't already do?

So I guess there's no definite answer on that yet, huh?

Actually, to me that's AoE damage, but I think most blasters are stuck on the "omg scrappers get 500% cap and we only 400%, we are doooooomed!"

Ever meet a spines scrapper? They ARE an AOE. And I'm an elec blaster. I have 2 AOE attacks. (Damage bearing ones, that is.)

Now, to address Statesman's question.

Well, we can hold. Scrappers can't. Though they can get immobs, I think. Not sure on this.

We can drain end, do DoT, and all the other secondary effects. Some of which can't be done by scrappers.

We can visit the hospital. This we're very good at. We sometimes meet other blasters while we're there.

We can attack from range. No, some of the scrappers can do that as well.

Out of 4 things so far, the only one I don't see scrappers doing is visiting the hospital. (Not saying the occassional death doesn't occur, but far less than it does for the blasters)

I sent you a very long PM a while back States, outlining some ideas on how blasters could be improved. I'd hoped to at least hear back from you with "Thanks for the ideas," but I got nothing. If you like, I can send that your way again, since there seems to be at least SOME attention going our way now.

Okay, is it just me, or do the DVD features kinda suck? I mean, as a consumer, those wouldn't make me go, "Oh, well NOW I'll buy that game!"

Powerslide- Ugly purple puddle under my hero? Not if I have anything to say on the matter! Seriously, I'm more impressed with Star Wars: A New Hope's use of Vaseline on the lens to hide the landspeeder's wheels. This power could be cool if you could change the color and make it look like ice, a la Iceman, but with the Marvel suit going on... perhaps not such a good idea.

VIP Badge- It does nothing. NOTHING! If you're one of those completists who have to have EVERY Badge, then it might be worth it to spend the money. Me? Not spending one extra cent for it.

Cape of the Four Winds- Oooh... transparency. You can't change the design on it though! And honestly... the use of transparency on the cape seems kinda weird anyway... but that's just me.

So yeah... its not worth my hard-earned money for these features. If you want them enough, put up your cash. If you don't want to pay, shut it.
