Yes, I am aware of tanks overperforming. But why lower the buff of things like BU, etc? Also, is SS really overperforming? It does good damage, to be sure, but it also comes with a very hefty price (Rage crash) that other top tier sets, you know, literally don't have to deal with.

But why? I know I won't get an answer (from the HC team), but what is the thought process for this change in specific? And why was this deemed the best course of action?

Trying to reinvent the wheel by adding a bizarre implementation for KB protection is unnecessary and unneeded. I would rather standard KB protection just be added to obsidian shield and for cloak of fear to be better, yeah. Even making the magnitude of the fear higher (or at least a chance for it to) would be nice.

Why isn't this set's weakness dark?

Sweeping Cross is already useless, why lower it's damage? Honestly, the only thing to make Sweeping Cross actually viable would be to change it to a combo builder or (and this would be significantly better), have it's recharge get refunded when it's used as a finisher. That way it at least has a niche over Spinning Strike.

This, please. When one thinks of psychic armor, they typically think of Psylocke. Psychic armor should be primarily defense, absorb, and max HP. Too bad this isn't happening.

Most of the regen changes are good and give the set what it really needs (namely debuff resistance); however, why does MoG only give 7-10% psi/tox res/def? If there's a set that shouldn't have the arbitrary psi/toxic survivability hole, it's regen. MoG should get the same amount of defense and resistance to both of those damage types as it does to everything else. In fact, the power's toxic resistance was NERFED because prior to this, it gave the same amount of toxic resistance as it did to everything else.

The power Kinetic Dampening on Stalkers and Sentinels still doesn't give psi resistance. Arguably Sentinels don't need it on that because they have Power Armor, but Stalkers got forgotten about. Also, for better or worse, Power Shield gave increased defense to Fire and Cold because EA doesn't get any resistance to it (again, other than the Tanker and Sentinel specific power, Power Armor). Making the set's defenses weaker to those two damage types without giving Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers anything to compensate is a little weird, to say the least. Yes, I understand the set is being nerfed. I'm saying nerfing Power Shield specifically is a bizarre choice.

I only meant it as an example! Or something to add to OP suggestion. There theoretically shouldn't be an issue with doing something like that with tails in this game, but that's why I said to start over if for some reason that isn't the case. /s

If the tails work the way you describe, they should just burn the game down and start over. Kidding. Kind of. FFXIV does this with races that have tails, or more specifically, the tails will do something specific with a tail. Like angry will lift the tail up, or something. This would be cute!

There doesn't really need to be Broad Sword Melee since there isn't Broad Sword Blast. Though honestly Bone Melee or Spiny Melee sounds fine, as well as Staff Melee.

I did give a reason. Multiple times. I straight up replied saying it was a reference to the Fairly Odd Parents. This response doesn't actually challenge my question, or even answer it. There are pop culture references in this game. This suggestion is a pop culture reference. You see the pop culture reference and you either understand it, or you don't. Were you aware that there's a reference to Vampire: the Masquerade in the game? The Simpsons? Pokemon? Star Trek? James Bond? Michael Jackson? You do not play with a reference, it just exists. With this being restated, what makes this particular one bad? Is it because you got baited and are now upset or do you have a legitimate reason for disliking this one in particular?

Map geometry elements? Added on elements? The entire world map isn't one singular mesh object. Games don't do that and CoH isn't an exception. Do you play with seeing an occasional zombies that reference other games or people from media? Or an NPC having the name of a joke from MST3K? Or text in various arcs referencing things? There are even multiple references in the game that are just assets in the world. Such as the spot in monster island that references Castaway. Are you "playing" with any of these? Yes. A reference to the Fairly Odd Parents.

The reason is because it's a pop culture reference. Do you have a reason why those shouldn't be in the game?

I don't think replacing a single asset constitutes as reworking the zone. Also: what does a PvZ reference add to the game? Or any other pop culture reference the game is littered with?
