After watching old development videos on DCUO which looks completely different from what it is today" in a good way" I've seen:
Blue lantern construct of hammers
Blue lantern fan construct "not the same as fear construct fan, this one knocks you down and blows you away"
Blue lantern trap bubble
Blue lantern star blade constructs
Blue lantern constructs of shields
Blue lantern bolder construct
So there you go DCUO community, an unfinished spec Blue lantern tank with iconic powers for show case.
Hope most likely coming to players for play, ether at the same time Rage hit or after.

That was what HL was before they made it more green lantern centric. Spytle has an interview where he address the change from generic to specific. All of those constructs are something a Blue Lantern wouldn't use.

I don't see how a blue lantern power, known for shields, would be any different than an ice tank... with shields.

I really hope jens takes the time to watch that first video all the way through. It's funny to hear how proud he was of the fact that other mmo's pigeonhole you into a role. I remember that video when it came out. It was one of two vids that had me knowing I was preordering this game. The other was where all the open world missions were being done on a pvp server. Man I miss what I thought this game was gonna be.

Ok so no more tanks with shields, is that what you are saying? nearly every power set have shields in this game also nearly every DC comic characters have shields.....

That's all blue lantrens do. They are not mirrors of other lanterns like fear and will. The things red can do blue cannot do and vice versa. Green and Yellow have the same exact powers because they were conceptualized at the same time before any of this spectrum stuff was introduced. Yellow being based off of fear was a retcon that is only 8 years old as opposed to the 50+ years the GLC and Sinestro as a villain have existed.

It all depends of the concept of a shield. Those can be damage-absorbing-for-a-short time, or damage-reflecting-for-a-short-time, or absorbing-a-part-of-the-damage-for-a-longer-period-of-time kind of shield. This can make the power unique, but giving new "shields" with new functionalities.

A shield that absorbs 25% of incoming damage for 45 seconds can make a great change. A shield that reflects all damage back to the attacker for 5 seconds is also pretty unique. Currently, we mostly see only the damage-absorbing shields.

How about a shield combo? You cast a shield, and by a series of tap-hold-range-melee-blah-blah, you gain a self heal to come with it. Like Donna-Troy's powers 5 and 6, but at the same time. Maybe like HT mod, but without it. Whatever.

And an exploding shield, like in Celestial? Absorbs damage, to a certain point, and explodes. Or when it ends, puts a DoT on the user. Creativity and imagination create uniqueness.

Yeah I wouldn't want it to be that. I want a blue healer so I can name it HopeForHealth. :)

Clever, but I'd give an unused alt that name if you have a character slot open to keep it "in storage," then you can just delete the alt when you make your Lantern (If they ever come out). If Blue Lantern healers come you can bet that every name related to hope and healing will be taken pretty fast :)
