Okay, guys.
I hit 35 with Blue and I ran through every
power in his secondary on the training server
to see which if any were worth having. Vee,
you're the only one I know here who uses a
fire blaster in her 20s yet, so you might
want to take a look at this.
Here are the powers that I consider worth
having from the secondary set: fire circle,
fire sword, fire sword melee, buildup, and
consume. The others are really prety much
superfluous or will be when Issue 3 goes
live.
Blazing aura is just like one of the fire
tanker's shields ...the one that does damage
but provides sucky protection. Combustion
does basically the same thing as fire sword
circle, but I think FSC gets more style points.
Burn used to be an ace power-- and it was one I
was shooting for as it helps you against holds,
but effective with Issue 3 they're gutting it's
effectiveness to the point where it's no longer
worth taking as a power IMO.
As for Andrew... I sent Scott a long e-mail
about what's going to happen to him now that
they're nerfing invulnerability-- pray to
whatever Belief, Idea, or Entity you might
happen to believe in that the devs NEVER
say they want to help your AT because they
nerf the hell out of them every time.
I tell you, guys, I'm still in the Legion
games for the fun and the comraderie, but
I would advise you to not invest any kind
of emotional attachment to your alts because
as soon as they start to be effective the
devs are going to nerf them.
It reminds me of a story that Harlan Ellison
wrote ... Harrison Bergon (sp?) I think it was
called. To provide balance to everyone, the
powers that be put weights on strong and
graceful people to hinder their movements ...
if you had keen vision, they put blinders on
you ... all to make everyone EQUAL.
Someone should really send States a copy of
that story ...
And you know what? I may just try that Marvel
game if it ever comes out. Who knows? Maybe
it'll be easier to be a super hero there...
so long as they don't hire Cryptic to make
it ...
