My thoughts exactly.

I love people who instead of trying to overcome challenges whine about them instead.

Really I do. They inspire me not to be like them.

The blasters who soloed the ITF back in I12 shined so very brightly. The blasters who got the MoSTF badge without being carried through it shined like stars in the sky. The blasters who soloed giant monsters without incarnate abilities shined beyond belief.

Having someone give you a ladder so you can make a basket isn't shining.

So are your statements.

Because your SR scrapper has trouble with non positional attacks ?

I suppose in your world people who get good at games are the problem.

You describe a situation where the average will be an ever decreasing value.

Excluding the AOE immobilize from the primary what dominator gets more than one targeted AoE from the primary and one from the secondary ?


If you can keep your enemies at range you limit them to just the ranged attack. If they have 4 melee attacks and 1 ranged attack you have eliminated 80% of the potential methods they have to harm. If they have 1 melee attack and 1 ranged attack you have cut it down to 50%.


By the same token compared to Dominators, Controller mez is a toy.

An AR Blaster can deliver 8500+ points of damage to a spawn of 10 from range in roughly 7 seconds and still keep going.

A Fire/Fire dom is going to have fire breath and then whatever they took as their epic call it 5000-6000 points.

You mean like your statement about doms doing as much damage from range as blasters ?

I suppose if you can't come up with legitimate arguments against someone's position you might as well misstate it and hope no one notices or cares you are doing it.


Since when is a list of three things everything ?

Yet, you keep demanding the game be made easier because of your inability to master it. Do you think it is at all appropriate to do this ? Can't get the hang of the knights in chess ? Demand they move three spaces forward only.

It is becoming obvious the only answer you can accept is one that reinforces your preconceived opinion.

Does that have any bearing on what I said re: Blasters vs Dominators ?

No not really. Some defenders and corruptors can achieve full ranged chains without going to epics but they have abysmal melee attack sets. Some melee sets can achieve full AoE chains but they are melee chains.

IF you look at nothing but one capability you will never see flexibility.


Wrong

Just off the top of my head Tenebracious tentacles Mag 3, Psychic shockwave mag 3.

When you say the rest of us, you mean the people you agree with. So far all your side offers up is bad reasoning like the above statement.

You are lying again

My exact statement.

I don't know about your blasters but mine have no trouble keeping pace.

Full stop.

On a blaster I can have continuous ranged aoe chain and decimate spawns before they ever get close. Doms don't even come close till they get their EPIC powers. Look at AR. Full Auto then Flame thrower then Buckshot then etc etc etc .

And blasters don't have crowd controls ? No holds, stuns or immobilize ?

You keep asking that question and ignoring the answers.

Show me where I claim to have been or where I claim to speak for some vast majority ?

If you can't you are lying.

I am glad you speak for the player base. Were you elected ?

I am hardly the only one in this thread who has made that point. All you are doing is arguing for changes that might make the AT more enjoyable for people who don't think its any good.

When that information first came out Arcanaville argued vehemently that the numbers did not mean that. Now she is arguing the opposite. So much for mathematical certainty.

Doms are designed to have to enter into melee you don't have to do that with blasters at all.


That would be selfish the same way the PvPers were selfish because they didn't want their game destroyed to benefit people that didn't play it and wouldn't anyway ?

I'd call it being protective of an enjoyable part of the game.

Seeing as he didn't have any you aren't saying good things about your position.

That was from a red name statement concerning dark assault.



Do you realize how smug and stupid that sounds ?


Do you actually have that or is it just wishful thinking on your part ? Do you have any idea why they are the most abandoned AT or is it just more wishful thinking ? For all you know its nothing more than the fact that description of the AT doesn't do an adequate job letting people know what they will be playing.

How did you go from what I said to what you said ? I can't imagine how you got that.

Believe me I am aware of that. The melee attacks just do a much better job in general. If I am not mistaken the highest DPS chain in the game still belongs to fire/electric thanks to shocking grasp.

Doms are explicitly designed not to let you do that.



If you can't make your point name call.

What is worse you can't even get your facts straight. When you say a few people, you are talking about the number three most popular AT at 50, according to the numbers Paragon Studios released last year.

When a power becomes dominant to the point where not taking significantly lowers your damage output you are forced to take it. I can't think of playing a tank now that isn't actively using that 1st level power.

I'll take a look if its not too bad and doesn't seem to be passing out more information than I care to share, I may give it a try.

Well excluding the epic ATs, they can have both a good ranged attack chain and a good melee chain at the same time.

Just as an example, fire/energy is a combo that has the longest ranged attacks in the game and can pick apart spawns with its snipe but also is devastatingly effective in melee.

That makes no sense. You can play whatever you want. Why should anyone else have to play the game the way I like to ? Why should everyone have to play exactly the same way.

It sounds like you want Baskin Robbins to have only one flavor.


When I play blasters I am not looking for safe. If I want safe I will play a tank or a mastermind.

Your idea of better. People that enjoy the thrill of playing blasters might disagree.

My tanks had a pretty freeform style before the last buff and I was able to use or not use the 1st secondary power at whim. Now 20% of my damage output is due to 1 power and not using it teamed is cheating the team. I really don't see that as liberating. That little buff also took what was an easy mode AT into easier territory. Before the buff to stalkers Assassin's strike was an optional power, now it is too powerful not to take. The devs have said flat out that doms are meant to be limited to their, for me, annoying melee/range focused assault sets.

If you want to do things like a scrapper, a controller a defender. I remember way back around i12 there were a few blasters that soloed the ITF. I guess these people are also just too awesome for this game and should gtfo as well.

Nobody is forcing you to play blasters. If you don't like them don't. There are 11 other ATs, you shouldn't expect let alone demand that they be all things to every player.

How do you do that ?
