City Of Heroes: Blaster Update

Blasters Beware. Statesman has his eye on you...well at least soon he will.

As this forum in particular evinces, some Blasters have come to think that they're no longer necessary in the 40+ game.

I've received a few PM's requesting that I give some sort of Update on the Blasters - are the devs going to do anything about it?

As my thread in the Dev Corner already announced, I want to take a look at Controllers. We've made some nice changes already in I4, but I want to make sure they're sufficient.

I promise I'll look at Blasters afterwards and take a much closer look at the issues. The major one that strikes me is that the secondaries are not all created equal. A couple complement the primary set SO much better than the rest. That's an issue not just for levels 40 - 50, but for ALL levels. The second major complaint is that damage doesn't scale well enough for Blasters in the late game. I'll look into that, too. And I'll make sure to read these boards to find others.
