I don't agree. As I pointed out before, the Absorbs ALSO have debuffs attached (Reaction Time, Frigid Protection), come in a set that ALSO gets a heal (Inner Will) or also gets additional powerful aoe mitigation effects (Ice Patch, Time Shift, Spore Cloud).
Seriously, the argument that (lol) Temporal, Plant, Ice, and Martial Combat are disadvantageously squishier than other blasters is crazy. Those are some of the strongest blaster secondaries for self protection.
