Also I want a blaster that's purely Turret based.
I find it delightful that these 'casual mental sparks' could detonate lesser games and forums. They all seem so.....plausible. Tweaks here and there, balancing, and they'd practically be a testserver and patch away.
The Earth power might be tricky, since Corruptors have an Earth Assault already. Kinda hard, I agree, to make it blasterfied without it feeling like Dom Lite.
Wind makes me think of Gale from the Storm set, and I'm afraid of a knockback set with lots of AoE to it, ha ha. I also can't fathom a good animation set to it that doesn't degrade into a sonics imitation or storm knockoff.
Water is good on paper but Ice is simply easier to animate, I think. The ideas of more damage-more water are great though.
Eldritch power deserves to exist already. Mini-derps to placate have a innate balance already, since the foe would basically stop attacking for just two seconds, just enough to get a quick heal or insp pop in. Maybe steal a buff from certain foes. In exchange, make em slow or end-heavy, something. I dunno. I JUST WANT IT OKAY? Call it something more neutral sounding if you must but....please?
Thrown projectiles...... yes. Just yes. I can see them as the 'light and spammable' pool - damage and range under average for low end burn and/or versatility, allowing the blaster to basically annoy people to death with....uh.....what should a shuriken or chakram do? I'm thinking assassin tools, so poison/disorient on most of them, maybe an Aoe choke and stat breaker, hence a genuine toxic power pool for blasters to compete with Thorny Assault and Spines? (also, for absolute comedy, a Kitchen Sink power or invention! YOU KNOW YOU'D LOVE IT EVEN IF IT MADE NO SENSE.)
I have always wanted an Eldritch Set. Mystical Blasts as the powers seem to lack a "Magical Origin" feel.
It's 100% Versatile. It could do pretty much any type of effect. Could have some neat Runic animations. Although I would love a chance of Confusion for some of the blasts or a debuff to attack simulating curses or hexes.
Not long confusion, but just enough. a minor secondary effect really.
Oh how lovely would it be to expell a blast of rune shapes at your enemy!
