Dark Blast to Blasters !!!!

After the time controllers got plant control from dominators an idea came up. I had just read some patch notes then, saying : " plant control fits perfectly to controller" and I said "in that case why Blasters can't take Dark Blast?" Imagine Blasters taking Dark Blast. It would be so awesome to add this set to blasters and this will shake pvp a little bit. I know that blasters have earned more attention from other archetypes with the latest patches but it will be awesome. oh well I hope one day this will happen . . .

But please dont mention PvP. It would be nice for a bit more variety, but leave that argument well alone in its corner
But yes, it has Blast in the name. Duh...

It will happen along with Radiation Blast... eventually.

That evokes the rather wonderful of image of a warehouse full of Longbow being fooled by a guy hiding behind a big shield. Like Snake and his cardboard box.

"Hey, Kyle, do you remember this giant flaming shield being here a minute ago?"

iirc, Dark blast was too powerful if porter 1 on 1 to blasters, too much soft control?

No doubt it'll be tweaked before given to blasters

Well sure, they had to do the same with psionics from Defs to blasters. Tis just a matter of time =]

I predict they'll give Life Drain the Siphon Life treatment to make it the third, strongest single target blast in the set, and replace Tenebrous Tentacles with Aim.

I would think Torrent or Dark Pit are as likely to get replaced with Aim as Tenebrous Tenticles. It would be nice if they went for a Soul Drain type power instead of Aim though, just for variety.

Gloom would need to be changed too, to work with defiance. (or make Life Drain the slot 2 attack, and Gloom the high damager).


I really should do something about this signature.

You are kidding, right Col? A Psi/Psi blaster is simply giggle-worthy to play. Fighting anything below red is just hilarious, especially when your plastering them all over the scenery. I approve, of course

Personally I hope they do nothing to Dark before being ported to Blasters. I expect the -acc will be adjusted to be less powerful than Defenders of course but I don't think the soft controls are overpowered. Dark Pit's accuracy and recharge is rubbish, an Immobilize does nothing to stop enemies firing at you and the less said about Torrent and its knockback the better. I'd say that the soft controls in Dark are no better than something with similar soft controls e.g. Sonic.

I don't think the soft controls are overpowered, but it would be a very poor blaster set without without Aim (or similar power). And it would have to be ajusted for defiance anyway.

-Acc scales automatically with AT.

AR has no Aim. AR/Devices has no Aim OR BU, but does I suppose get targetting drone.

Indeed, which kind of proves the point.

Ironically Dark Armor works much better on Hero archetypes than Villain archetypes. Go figure.

It's not the powers, it's how you use them that earns labels as 'hero' or 'villain' or 'vigilante' or 'fence sitter' or 'show off' or something

Light is not good and dark is not evil. Light can blind people, and can even burn in high amounts. Dark can be cool, concealing, and subtle, which a lot of heroes would like to use.

Oh, and there's no such set as "Light blast"
