    I have 4 Tanks. LOL

    ....but Controller role is what I began the game with way back in 2012. I was a Controller first and will always be a Controller. I wish we contributed more to the group nowadays.

    That's honestly what I'm gearing up to do! Gonna get good at it first on an alt. :p

    Hmph. Not enough people remember the days when trolls were more important. Pugging was hell then. Before the roleless buff, anything above duos were strictly league-only affairs unless you wanted to endure countless failed runs and/or relentless screaming matches. More heals, more power, more burn, tank get lost.

    Recall how abandoned Birds of Prey content feels now. Now imagine being 20 DLC behind that and praying that people at endgame come down to help run content. That's what pugging used to be like.

    The controller role got screwed when they made all stuns last 3 seconds instead of allowing for extending the duration by having a higher dominance.

    Its all tied together not only the controller feels underwhelmed this applies to all support rolls

    Thats true but content was atleast difficult back then what kept people playing and trying to be stronger it was more about team work nowadays its just about using Broken abilitys and 5 DPS in a elite raid that use DWFS - gadget dps and these days we have elite / reg versions anyway which we didnt have last time.. wont be hard for reg players since we got reg difficulty but endgame (elite) would be better if they would do it like it used to be.
  11. VariableFire Loyal Player

    Yeah, no, it really wasn't. You think we have broken abilities now, the same complaints were thrown about then too. Except the complaints also included weapons as well. Remember when dual wield weapons were hard to acquire because they gave a lunge advantage? You complain about DPS when if you had certain powers you were basically locked into either being a DPS or Support. Do you not remember when Fire Tanks were kicked left and right just for showing up?

    Moreover, the Devs were the ones that added burn checks way back in T5 and there are still burn checks on occasion (31st Century bounties spring to mind).

    In addition, I despise "elite" content ever since they added feat points and gear. If that content was truly about being skilled (elite) players it would be like it was originally, just a title. It wouldn't reward them with even more stomping power that accumulates over time.

    By ROYAL DECREE I say the name shall stay as it always has.
    So...if it does not change...now you know where the true power lies!

    Cheers:D

    We should change the name to Mxyzptlks.

    That should satisfy everyone, right?
