So what do you guys think?

Earth based powers don't really fit conceptually as a blast power and Dominators already have access to something similar with Earth Assault/Earth Control.

Earth Control
Stone Prison
Fossilize
Stone Cages
Quicksand
Salt Crystals
Stalagmites
Earthquake
Volcanic Gasses
Animate Stone

Earth Assault
Stone Spears
Stone Mallet
Tremor
Hurl Boulder
Power Boost
Heavy Mallet
Seismic Smash
Mud Pots
Fissure

I would prefer to see all existing power sets proliferated first (I think Dark Blast is the only one we still don't get) and I would really like to see complimentary Manipulation sets for Sonic Attack and Radiation Blast (I prefer to keep a concept going, and while Sonic Manipulation would be tough, most of the necessary tools for Rad Manipulation exist in-game already). Having said all that though, I do enjoy entertaining new ideas.

Since Earth is an element blasters have no access to, I think it would be fun to see. But McBoo has a point: an Earth/Earth Blaster would be very similar to an Earth/Earth Dominator (though, they are opposite sides, so that doesn't completely negate the possibility).

Long story short, sure, I'd make an Earth blaster. But I would first want to see the things I mentioned above.

/Signed I've always envied the Legacy Chain Earth and Light mages for the shiny powers they hint at but we see little of. Hurling great chunks of rock and earth around would work well in a game like this. Along with opening up more concepts and options.

I'd also disagree with it being too similar to Earth Control. Thats like saying ANY of the control sets are too similar to their blast counterparts.

I'd be happy with just proliferating Earth Assault to non-Dominator AT's... The set is SO awesome, but I just don't enjoy playing Controller-types. :/
