Blaster Blues
Well, so far for my blaster has gone through level 30 in constant debt. I suppose due to my scrapper mentality, but I also think that the game is unevenly challenged for certain toons. Case in Point, When going on missions with another level 50 defender, on her missions, the minions are 50, Leuitenants are 50 as well as the bosses. Yet, when I solo my missions or bring in a friend, either level 50 or below, all the minions are 51 and the lt's and bosses are 52+. Now here's the real kicker, it seems that my blaster on the same account also suffers from this curse. The minions are +1 than he is and the lt's and bosses are +2. For example A recent Rikti mission yeilded level 31 minions(yellow) and a level 32 Lt (red) no sign of a boss, but this was on heroic.
In other news, I like to fight monsters. It makes everyone feel equally useless. There have been times I ran up to a minion and suddenly at the last 10 feet, a blaster snipes and poof, I ran just for my health and for no other purpose. I am not blaming blasters. It is their job. It has also come to my attention, that some blasters, defenders and controllers tend to target my victim instead of the 50 other targets in the area. Eliminate them and leave me running to find another target while they are all being nuked. That is why I like to fight Monsters. No one shotting, no Kill Griefing, just plain ol' go in there and take your chances. Ruladak proved that my build was able to survive some hits. I was able to stand up and take some punishment from it, albiet I had to use my Oh-crap power and get some healing to keep the aggro off the blasters. Even the Regen with MoG was not able to stand up since their power did not allow them to be healed and well let's say that Ruladak can hit for more than a regular tank's hitpoints have. I cannot wait to go up against him when the Issue 5 releases.
Have a good day.
