Only considering the tricks they can bring from there primaries and secondaries, which would you find more survivable?

Seems they are all about the same damage potential.

Easily ta/dp. The blaster combos will bring fun new ways to deal damage in their secondaries, and a bit of mitigation, but the defender will excel in debuffs and control type powers in his primary. The damage will be down a good bit, but I am sure it would be more survivable by a notable amount.

Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

The blaster will do more damage. The defender will be more survivable in the context that they have debuffs. If I want a survivable DP character, I go Traps over TA.

ThatÂ’s exactly what i was thinking. WHY DO I ALWAYA AGREE WITH YOU!?!?!?!?!? >.<


Plus, imho TA doesn't really add that much survivability to the user. I love the set, but something like dark/ traps/ etc etc would add much more noticeable survivability.
