I agree that Defiance could be a useful power, but it's been applied in the wrong manner. I don't have the exact quote handy, but Jack Emmert (Statesman) actually suggested that a blaster could run in and take the intial aggro and then fight the rest of the battle with Defiance active. Having played a fire blaster for 50 levels, there's one thing I know for sure and it's that no blaster wants to take any aggro, period. Aggro leads to death, which leads to debt, which leads to pissed off blasters. Not to mention irritated Defenders. It's a good suggestion, but it's not the right one to solve a blaster's woes.
