Well they seem to have improved "Defiance" for Blasters:
http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/patch_notes.html
But they removed the Defiance bar for some reason. However, it will be nice to get off some shots while being held. This should really help in PvP. If getting rid of the Defiance bar is the price a Blaster has to pay for this new and improved Defiance, so be it!

The bar is not there because you no longer do more damage as you are more wounded.
It is now a damage buff for each attack of your primary and secondary sets.
So, the more shoot the more buff you get. Each one lasts about 7.5 seconds + cast time. So it will never be a huge boost, but definitely noticable.
There are other advantages as well, but I haven't reasearched them all yet. For instance, they are talking something about holds and such that I am not sure what they mean yet.

Aahhh...this makes sense now.
I was playing in RV this morning (getting my butt kicked by a corrupter) and I think I saw this new "being able to attack while held" feature in action. Although I'm not sure what they mean by "earliest abilities", but I was able to do some attacking while being held. I'll have to test it in PvE later today.

You can now use your first two blaster primary attacks while mezzed.

Damnit... I just read it, and does this affecet the NPC baddies the same way? I don't mind the change for PvP, but this sounds like its gonna nerf PvE play. Cause if my Frozen Aura can no longet function the same way against those kinds of opponents, I'm gonna be soo pissed. The whole point of me conscranking and preventing them from doing anything would've just been nerfed.
I so can't wait for my DSL to get hooked up, this waiting to find out is killing me:(
Big Chill is a conscranker: he conrols a mob so they do nothing, scraps a target till they can't stand, and tanks what's left till the job's done.
Dive in, have fun, and think about it later.
Do not pray for challenges to equal your strength, but for strength to equal your challenges.
