Have you thought of setting up a patreon? I would be happy to throw 10 bucks a way to keeping the servers up.

I think the hero sides just look better.

This also makes sense why defenders are the best FF archtypes then. As was mentioned in the start of the article -- and anyone who has played a tank in MMOs knows -- the difference between a 85% defense and a 95% defense is 300% the damage. It's like interest rates on loans. 10% more may not seem like a lot -- but it is! Thanks for the points guys, as it's been years since I played.

How does that work with corruptors / masterminds going FF? Are their FF only 58% as good as defenders?

That simple change has been a game changer for me. Instead of bubbling 14 bubbles every 4 minutes, you are doing 2, which means you have a lot more time to blast. I also made some level 1 blasters, defenders, corruptors and sentinels -- and noticed that defenders are not doing 66% of the damage of blasters base, but are doing 90% base damage. Sentinels were doing 95% base damage of blasters. This was only level 1, but it's worth investigating. Note : That is base damage, not counting the blasters inherent ability to ramp damage by having more attacks. What this means, and I've noticed this from my playing -- is that you can bring some decent punch as a FF defender. I've got power bolt, power blast, and power burst each 6 slotted. I also have repulsion bomb 6 slotted and those are my main 4 attacks. Currently I'm working on building out the psychic epic pool tree to give myself controller options as well. That way in a team I can decide if I want to fill the secondary role of blaster or controller. So far it's been great fun -- much more than I remember.

"If you decide to dedicate yourself to playing a bubbler you will be casting FOURTEEN bubbles EVERY three and a half minutes" It's been my experience from playing my FF defender that when you bubble one person, every other person in range and LoS in your team also gets the same bubble. This means you only need to drop two bubbles every 4.5 min.
