What do you think archetype boards are for?
The blaster boards are all about how they're great at doing boom and how they hardly EVER EVER DIE especially when they have a healer and greens and purples and the sun aligns with mars. The brute boards are all about how they definitely need to buff Energy Melee because it's not soloing AVs as fast as it was and that puts it behind the AV-soloing speed put forward by the other power sets. Also that electrical armour sucks. The Soldiers board is mostly about the three cool kids kicking sand in the face of the Bane because no other archetype is quite so unfair that a broadsword-sr scrapper with debuffs and crits-on-command is somehow considered the sissy one, while the kheld boards are a macro designed to punch out 'lrn2play' in response to every possible complaint about the archetype. The controller boards are mostly about arguing if Carrion Creepers actually counts as doing damage and how stupid it would be to expect controllers to buff anyone - what do people think they are, defenders? The poor hard-done by mastermind boards are about how poison isn't good at anything except soloing AVs. The scrapper boards are a place where the only complicated sentence that survives is a math equation so byzantine it cons purple to everyone except Arcanaville and people boast of their brilliance at choosing to play the game on easy mode and laugh at how silly it would be to want to feature other people on this massive, multiplayer game. Tanker boards are the last five minutes of the Doom movie - swaggering and proud, the kind of one-man army badass who takes on the whole world and everyone in the world has nothing better to do than love watching every second of him being SO SUPER - covering a facade of the first five minutes of fight club - where that same bullet-[censored] uebermensch sits in a circle with other tankers crying 'we're still men!' The corruptor boards don't seem to exist, but I'm sure they'd be full of people bragging about their dark/dark tanking better than brutes, who don't care in the first place.
And the dominator board produces people like me, cruel embittered husks who derive not pleasure from life or from its joys, but rather exist as a twisted antithesis to all things fun. We're all going to sit around and pat our own backs on our own forums. If we're not, that's probably a sign something is seriously messed up with the archetype in question. It's kinda what those forums are for - for people with a common love of an archetype to gather around and be jerks to everyone who isn't in the forum and talk about how much they love being in this particular forum.
