Okay, When I first got this game back in June of last year, I was so excited to play it. The first Toon I made was Mr. Nothing, A NRG/Fire blaster. At the time, I thought he was the cat's pajamas. Then again, I also thought that Origins mattered.
Anyway, I'm still playing him today, He has loged over 500 hours of game time. And yet, he is yet to reach level 50.
Infact, not even close. 41 after 8 months of playing.
Why? I was to level 20 with ease and level 30 not much longer. Then things, as they say, took a turn. I lost my ability to solo. I realized this after amounting very large amounts of debt. It took me about 2 weeks to get out of it. I spent nearly 2 months in the low 30s.
Why is it like this? Most people would have given up on a */fire by now, but He's my baby. I currently have 3 fire powers, and only because I ran out of Energy Blasts. Ring of fire, Build up, and combustion. Of which I only use build up, available in all pools.
In otherwords, my secondary is useless. Give me something I can use! Holds, sheilds, more ranged attacks, SOMETHING!
When you say that the melee stuff is useful, its not. This is comming from a seasoned veteran of the blasters. Fire swords, useless. Combusion, waste of endurance. If I get in a big Mob, I'm dead.
I mean I love a challenge, but this is kind of absurd.
At one point a few months ago, I teamed with a Scrapper. We were both high 20s. He has since Gotten to 50. Created a Kheldian, which passed me around 34, and is now Also 50 (with about 15 HO enhansements now). Ya think something might be wrong with this picture?
Blasters are worthless after level 30 and everyone knows it. With the exception of me Novaing in Hearding Situations, and dieing, I have no Heroic Duties.
Melee is useless to a Blaster, I don't care how anyone, Including the statesman, may defend that. It's not. Give us more Ranged attacks and/or holds, or just let us die.
And we will die.
