I'm sure I missed some.
I go for S/L softcap.
Then ranged/energy in the 30s hopefully.
I also use Tough and the two+resist IOs
With people running Maneuvers all over the place, this seems to work fine.
I have a level 50 fire/martial I leveled on Pugs only with no debt badges.
I doubt it was any scifi type show that did it.
Audience too small.
It was probably some drama people like us didn't watch.
Heroes was really cool Season 1.
The rest? Meh.
I don't think there was a AV on the original Posi - which would probably catch the Blaster up the most. Been a few months since I ran it might be wrong.
EBs can be annoying at those levels too though.
Normal 2-3 loser (minions and Lts) groups though are pretty much LOLwhut with a blaster in my experience.
The trick to playing the new hotness Stalkers -
Play either a Newer Stalker Set so you have full scrapper AOE, or Electric
Slot the ATO procs ASAP (I think level 7 can slot)
Slot the Guassian Build-Up Proc into Build-Up ASAP (17? I think)
They are awesome. And playing the Crit on Demand, AS Poof Hide, Crit and Build up build up build up game is great. I spend most my time on Stalkers these days.
Its not like a blaster though.
Blasters are underrated in their no opportunity costs Real Mission damage.
Also what is this blapper thing you speak of? Those are just blasters, and then there are these weird esoteric ranged-only blasters.
