Don't mind me, just taking notes here for the future Inv/SS build...

I'd like them to just play a controller or defender.

Because they can't make it so that it does debuff A if you're a def set and debuff B if you're a res set. The code doesn't work that way yet, if ever.

Yes, yes, we know.

The thing about proc-loading is that it does use sets and incarnates. You need those set buffs to make up for all the enhancement buffs you're leaving on the floor to load up on procs, especially if you're exemping and can't rely on incarnates.

Its largely hated because res sets were how y'all minimized the crash for those sweet sweet double stacking buffs.

I don't think that's how game balance works. "Here, have a power with a debuff that's completely impotent for your power set!"

Which is kind of what's being done with Unleashed Might? You can't turn it into a clicky, though, with what it does to Hand Clap.

They're saving that for Skulls Melee.

Who needs that when we can just point to the levels of sturm und drang around here anytime its touched? Oh, right. "Mid-tier."

Okay, so it wasn't a "meaningful capacity" for you. Now how about the rest of the player base?

Other than improved containment, improved pets, improved sleeps, and the area holds put on adaptive recharge. On the other hand, Plant got a nerf, so who's to say?

Vampirism is pretty unnatural, honestly. 😉

So its nothing about this patch and completely misses the buffs to containment this summer and that procs are still hella strong on controllers. Okay, got it.

Join a Hami. Fight a Paragon Protector. Have more than one control AT on the AV. (We once had Dr. Vazh on permanent lock down in a Posi 2, it was hilarious.) Controls are more relevant in CoH than in pretty much any other game. Purple supremacy, yo.

What nerf to controller damage? Hypnotizing Lights is the only thing touched.

Yeah, i was coming to the same thought this morning. Double-stacked Rage gives you a stronger buff than slotting for damage and with no ED to boot, so now you can use those slots for procs and really go to town.

Shh, you're not supposed to give the game away! SS is a mid-tier set! There is no war in Ba Sing Se!

I imagine SS double ragers on the live server go through purple insps like M&Ms. With this change, they might have to go through purple and orange insps.

Same. I just threw together a Inv/SS build and gave it a try on Brainstorm. She doesn't feel that far off from my Fire/Energy, Hand Clap was a huge help, and just having to keep an eye on Dull Pain with the usual Hasten and Ageless made it feel about as seamless as my other alts. I could refine her build some more, but all in all, I'm sold on making an Unleashed Might alt once this goes live.

Honestly, Unleashed Might is where I might actually roll myself an Inv/SS, since there's now one less clicky to worry about and more toys to play with.

For 1 and 2, as I said, we'd have to chew on it over the ramifications. As for 3, though, how the game was originally intended to operate was not for everyone to have dozens upon dozens of alts, yet that's the game we have today. To paraphrase a movie quote, if you've leveled an alt to 50 sixteen times, you've become exceedingly efficient at it. And for the record, three DFBs, two Posi 1s, two Posi 2s, three Pennys, Synapse, Citadel, Manticore, WTF Moonfire, Imperious, a couple PI radios, and a smattering of giant monsters and solo hero tips got Sparkle Punk from 1 to 50 in eleven days. Didn't touch AE until last night for the SG weekly event. Its quick and easy to get a character to level cap just by playing the game how it was intended to operate.

Maybe in 2012, but HC's different. My feeling of achievement here was leveling this alt to 50 in less than two weeks.

I just completed a Citadel at +2 today, so I really have to ask: "But why?"

I'd have to chew on this some more, but i really would have loved to have gotten that Bombardment proc on my current build before level 27. 😁 That said, making all the yellows and oranges 10-50 would just mean - for those of us without Elon Musk levels of inf - putting all the non-procs off until you get to 50. The really big and useful undertaking would be a complete rebalance of IOs, but I imagine the sturm und drang that would stir up and boy howdy the dev time investment too.
