Yes, I must be, I am Playing my Fire/Fire blaster. I have gotten to the heady heights of level 31 and a bar and have only just acquired the first debt badge.

sorry to let the side down guys - I promise to try harder.

So you're claiming to be a Fire/Fire blaster that shows the sort of restraint and tactical awareness needed to avoid face planting every 3 minutes. Hmm...

Alternatively, you're some other AT suffering from the _delusion_ that you're a FF blaster.

I know which of these explanations seems more likely to me.

At higher levels, a REAL Fire^3 Blaster makes Rise of the Phoenix part of his/her attack chain.

*nodnodnod* Death is not permanent... I will insert this into my new strategy... why i quoted Epicine in AO... aaaaaah

But to OP... oh I think we can get you to all of them debt badges before that.. muhaha...
Just joking
But it is harder now to get them debt badges, but not getting them before lvl 50 (after debt was hard to get... i have no idea).

Heck, I've a Fire/Ice/Fire Blaster (which unlike their Fire/Fire/Fire bretheren, can sometimes actually have trouble faceplanting even in the more "Ohh this looks fun!" situations) and ROTP is part of his attack chain.
I even recently respecced out of 100% Heal/100% Rech in ROTP in favour of 100% Damage/100% Rech.

Most PUGs don't quite get the hint the first time I tell them that post-level-47 my Nuke has no end crash... although I have been known to run ahead of "good" tanks so I can take the alpha from the next mob...

Currently Inferno recharges in 140 seconds. ROTP recharges in 117. The only reason for the difference is that Inferno tends to kill the first group so I need to spend time finding a second one to Pheonix...

For concept reasons it will be Fire as the epic pool.
I cannot imagine why I did not try this before tho.

Then again, I always thought I was a scrapper/tank at heart. But I am having SO much Fun with this character its unbelievable.

Its /fire I tell you. I tried loads of blasters and thought they were a stupid AT until my Ice/Fire and now I love blasters, even ones with a lesser secondary (all of them really)

They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.

with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,

lol some people try to get the debt badges as soon as possible, I try to delay getting them as long as I can, once I get to 50 I start looking at things like that

A debt badge at 30 was acceptable given that debt used to be greater and tanks could be too fixated. You would have to have a phoenix concept to not be passed of as a hopeless n00b nowadays. Back then, I'd seen a Firetank with 3 debt badges by 36 on Defiant once, I have to say though, they had the patience of a Saint, cos the players they teamed with, I'd of never put up with and that's "with" the phoenix concept.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Reading what you wrote after what I wrote made me edit the thing for clarity.
