yes, I understand perfectly. Your Blaster is “tough” when mobs can’t get near it. Throw some -fly in that mission. Your statements about Blaster toughness relative to Sentinel are laughable.

No. In a tunnel. No Hover. Anybody can tailor a mission to make themselves look good.

It's overstatements like this that tell the story. Another exaggeration.

no. It is not as sturdy as any sentinel. It might be close, but it is not just as sturdy. It is not possible. And what was the point of mentioning phase shift earlier if you only use it every five hours?

That sounds great!

You can't attack when either PFF or Phase Shift are up. It's the same thing every time, from all the naysayers. They always say "I can make a blaster just as tough as a sentinel", and it's never true. ALMOST as tough, sure. Just as tough? No. You can't. And to even come close you have to make big sacrifices the Sentinel won't have to make.

All it takes to be able to move it to tier 1 is to lower the values. The other elements are irellevant.

ah yes, play tactically. I'm sure that will help me deal with LTs that take multiple mezzes to hold or confuse who can kill me in seconds if I miss even once.

I like being able to switch forms constantly, I wouldn't want to lose that. But I agree the slot tax is egregiously bad.

How about instead of a cooldown on the forms just an internal cooldown on the recharge ability?

Pros and Cons: If you make the forms share slots with the human powers then when you switch forms your attacks will still be recharging if you just used them in the other form.

Counterpoint: The size of the old Force Bubble was its weakness. It made it almost completely unusable in most team situations.

Maybe 50% for 30-45 seconds is the way to go.

This is a great idea!

Seriously, the Dominator AT is hot garbage without permadom. I want to be able to enjoy Dominators from level 1 onward, like I can every other AT in the game. My suggestion is get rid of permadom. Make the Domination bar build automatically, like Sentinels Opportunity, and disallow Recharge from reducing the cooldown. Maybe tweak something so the downtime isn't too bad. Or come up with a different solution, but something, ANYTHING, so this class isn't trash outside of Dom.

And I'm tired of pretending it's not. I want a real Confuse. I want a real pet. What is this crap?

cut it in half and make it a passive

I am really enjoying playing the new Force Field set! It's great to have debuffs on my spammable soft controls. It's great to have my repel field of a size that's useful with shorter range teammates, and it's nice having it at 18 instead of 32. I like the final bubble for the extra cushion against debuffs. Now we just need a couple small changes to the remaining powers and the set will be really, really solid. The remaining problem is that the last two powers in need of love are both no help to the team in most situations AND are somewhat redundant, one turtling yourself, the other turtling an enemy. Here are my suggestions: 1. Take 5% (Defender values) of the unenhanceable Res to All out of the Personal Force Field toggle and put it in a passive (you can call it Reinforcement Field) that you get just for owning the toggle. So when the toggle is up you have the same Def and Res as always, but the rest of the time you get a small unenhanceable Resistance bonus to cushion those attacks that get through your other defenses. 2. Make Detention Field functional in a team setting in some way. Here are a few possible ideas: a. Make it a single target Hold. b. Make it a single target Immobilize, Slow, -ToHit, -Damage, -Special debuff. c. Make recasting it on a target remove the cage. d. Get rid of it and add a "tractor" drop power instead. e. Some combination of the above ideas. Once these two powers are addressed I think the set will be pretty much perfect!

Why?

well they are better, they do a bunch of other things. But yes, I agree. But…laziness, er I mean, efficiency!

Probably faster and easier though to just make Super Speed 37 and leave everything else.

This does seem like a fairly major issue that should be addressed.

So, perhaps an easy fix would be to make Super Speed 37 ft so that it does not conflict with 35 and 36 ft powers?

Is Infiltration 35 ft? If so, is it working properly with Infil+Steamy Mist for example?

But is it happening in ANY situation not involving Super Speed?
