Why not open up mids and make your own. It's not hard and then you can build for a specific goal that you have.

If I'm leading the team and I do quite often especially for TFs, I feel as the team leader I'm responsible for the team's fun. I'm a min/maxer by nature and I find myself pretty critical of my teammates actions if I'm perceiving that they are impacting the team's fun. That said I understand that fun is subjective so I try to advertise with objective details (like speed, calling out named npcs required as the mission begins). I personally like to play by what I call the ABCO's (always be completing objectives) of CoH. I also drink, probably more than I should, but I'm a combat vet and a blacksmith. That said I try not to call out a fellow teammates actions unless it seriously jeopardizes the team, but I'm an asshole and will from time to time play a drinking game where I drink due to what I perceive as negative outcomes of my fellow teammates. The more I drink the more likely I am to start indiscriminately giving people the boot. Because of all that, I try to more often than not just join a team, knock out the objectives and roll with it, as then I don't feel responsible for everyone's fun.

PvP. Hard no to having a completely transparent player model.

I've added support for a similar idea as I have a lot of toons that I make to experiment with including defenders with provoke and such. I'd be cool with a taunt proc in a few attacks, but maybe even more of a want for me would be a taunt proc in a resistance IO, so I can slot it in Tough since I take that a lot.

Honestly I would probably rework Instant Healing to be a toggle similar to RttC from Willpower, but also have scaling resistance to heal Debuffs.

I don't keep a lot of liquidity, as I convert it to IOs typically. That said based on today's average prices, I'd have ballpark just north of 30 billion if I liquidated everything at least instant sell prices, so likely more for f I was patient enough to wait for sell orders to fill at a reasonable amount. That said I have a lot of alts, and often will host mini events in task forces that I start like "everyone gets a free purple if we finish this in x amount of time".

SR is pretty awesome with the exception of Elude, so what about: Elude - pbaoe aura +defense/ddr. Range 10. Your so agile that besides dodging attacks aimed at you, you are able to react quick enough to help your nearby teammates dodge attacks as well. 0.65/end per sec.

ah gotcha. I haven't seen anyone besides me in siren's call on everlasting in the last 2 years, so i've had no bounty to turn in to verify.

As Mac said this isn't live. I remember having multiple toons that when I IO'd I needed 9-12 billion worth of IO's to make and that is even before PvP IO's were a thing. The general price of items right now if you were influence capped you could load out around half a dozen toons all with great builds. I understand that we accumulate a lot of influence and need to shuffle it around. I typically buy Winter IO's and just stick them in a couple bins in my base to convert back to influence should I need to outfit a new toon. Given the integer limit in the game isn't likely going anywhere, just convert it to other types of currencies like I do with Winter IO's. And yes I understand the market could tank tomorrow if the devs wanted to seed IO's for free and I'd be out like 25+ billion influence, but oh well.

You.can still get the Strength of Will Inspirations in PvP Zones.

Ah, I use Veats with a buildselect macro to hot swap builds in missions all the time, so in my experience I'm able to switch back and forth between being a widow/fort or crab/soldier just like a Kheldian going from Nova to Dwarf. But this is besides the point this thread is about Blasters.

I'd almost argue Kheldians as they can be played like they have on the fly subclasses as well.

Over the years I've made and played maybe 20 blasters, I think I have 9-10 lvl 50 ones on Homecoming alone. As someone who spent the bulk of my time during live pvping, it felt like all secondaries outside EM were lacking. Now a day's I don't PvP near as much as I used to, and the sets have changed a lot, mostly for the better. I've come to the understanding that blasters are not meant to be played at ranged or melee, instead they are designed to pump out damage whenever needed regardless of you or your foes location. The most important aspect of a blaster is being mobile, and able to realize when you should of shouldn't use a power and the most optimal location for you and your for to use that power, ie. Lining up targets via cone angle, and depth of power.

Based on the name of the post, I'm assuming this is satire. Kudos for the reference to Jonathan Swift's piece, let's go stew some babies.

Those penalties for Granite were in on the Beta server back March of 2004. That said I understand the -recharge, but if anything it should have a +damage, I mean your getting hit by a 2 ton chunk of rock.

Yeah I have to pass on this, otherwise I'll only ever team if I'm the leader, and then boot a lot of people for either not being efficient enough on their own or not increasing my influence gain. Thus this will ruin teaming. No vote.

From i4 on until sunset about 80% of my playtime was catered to PvP. Blapping was all about mobility, which in PvP meant staying alive longer than the other guy as you'd coordinate spikes on primary targets as you'd be either Fire/EM or Ice/EM. Blapping really came about because of PvP, and we wouldn't just stand in melee and duke it out, it was all about the joust. With IO's and more modern power sets, it's incredibly hard to die in PvE, so there's a lot less jousting and more just standing around in the middle of a mob casting pbaoes, and heavy hitting melee attacks while being defense soft capped. The best blappers master the joust, and get that itch to know when and when not to pop buildup/aim. Remember mobility is always key to making a great blapper.

Blasters have atomic, which might as well be called rad as a lot of powers overlap.

I made a team very much so less boring the other night. I invited everyone to my discord and we decided upon a rule that anytime someone dies on the team everyone had to take a drink to the memory of the one that does. We were on +4, and had a couple people die a lot.

Ask and you shall receive, I just hot fixed this oversight across all the servers so now there's a Hami Origin enhancement called a Centriole that boosts Damage and Range. That said I'd support interest in +range in a microfilament, but I'd like to gauge other interest before I use my omnipotence to make it happen.

Yes, otherwise elevators in Portal Corp, elevator in the Yin TF mish to go 'save' the council member, submarine hatches, the gates on the final mission in the Tin Mage TF, etc. Edit, even the boats on mish 1 & 3 of the ITF.

How many times over the years have you been running to the rescue only to be waylaid by an open door? It makes no sense that an open door should slow us down at all, we should be able to walk right through it. That said doors serve as transitions between maps for the game, and allow you to click on them while in their closed state to get in. Once they open either they can't be clicked on, or the hotbox for clicking on them has shrink or moved to a non logical location. Wouldn't it be grand if we could click anywhere on an open door and begin transitioning to the new map without having to wait for that door to close?

Stone Armor has a damage aura, its getting a huge buff with the rooted changes, and its still unkillable.

I straight up tell the whole team, "look I joined for either a badge or merits, I'm not here to carry the team", and give them a chance to find a level they can either contribute at or I walk, as most my toons are capable of soloing most TF's. I'm probably more of an asshole than most people, so I understand where the OP is coming from on this post. I make it a habit to inspect each teammate like I'm a raid leader in WoW, from power selections to IO bonuses, and then watch how people play their toons the first mission.

They still do that's how Stalkers don't my break hide when using them.
