Damn me for not conforming and planning on going for pyro mastery this time.

Although to be fair to tanks, it's not proper tanking, more like ghetto-controlling really

In all seriousness, blasters can't compare to tanking like a true tank...i.e. taking the alpha and holding the aggro of 14 enemies at +4/5. But then a tank can't take down the lot in one fell swoop!

We both got jobs to do. I herd up the room and then put the kettle on whilst the damage dealers dispatch them with impunity.

I think blasters have a long way to go before they're seen as respectable They're the spotty, rebelious teenager who swiped their Dad's car keys and drove his Merc into a bus stop full of old people waiting for their ride to their weekly tea-and-scone afternoon.

That's not to say there's not good blasters out there, there's just a lot of bad ones. Scrappers are the same to a lesser degree. If I were to guess, maybe it's because those two ATs are favoured amongst newbies.

Got myself a 50 en/en/elec - I "mini-tank"
Got my fire/en to 24, that toon is starting to look like a blanketer (i.e. pump BU + AIM + fire ball + fire breath, rinse and repeat) with SOs all the way. Power Boost is going to be a god-send. Whoo-hey, imagine the damage!

And no, I am defo not a teenager But a bit crazy? Heck yeah.
