I can cast location-based powers just fine, (there are no hostile targets for powers that require them). I can also confirm having used translocation from mystic flight, in Pocket D.

I think it has more to do with the effect being a separate "entity" or source than the caster, that can't be readily altered. Is that "your" contaminated effect, or "a" contaminated effect?

A few of "The Icy Ewe":

Befitting of the winter season, I present "The Icy Ewe":

Another one I had a lot of fun playing was an Elec/TA blaster - it makes for a surprisingly "tactical" and capable build!

Are you suggesting a support set? We already have "sonic resonance", but one where the user plays an instrument, with an emphasis on PBAoE team buffs and enemy debuffs, could be interesting. If they made the animations use a generic guitar/lute-like animation, with plenty of "weapon" customization options, it could be very interesting. Also, you listed 2 "Tier 8" entries...

I agree with your sentiment, but this may be better placed in the Suggestions and Feedback section...

"The Capacitrix":

A lesser lightning demon - "The Capacitrix":

Rest is kind of like sprint and brawl - useful early on, but cast aside once you grow in power. Seems perfectly sensible to me...

So what I'm hearing is... seafood boil???

Just make 2 sets - "Super Strength" and "Superer Strength"

A few thoughts: Dark armor for the fear the character instills in their opponents, or radiation armor to reflect a sort of "seeping contamination" and unending energy they exude, (also the extra absorb and end recovery from particle shielding seem oddly fitting, IMHO)...

It's kind of a necessary break from comic book storytelling to game mechanics - "Oh no Jean Grey died! No problem, *speed dials an empathy defender* Problem solved!" The APPs/PPPs try to more round out what a character can do, but even then many concessions are made - Ice Man can blast ice, melee with ice, armor himself in ice, freeze enemies in case, and so on, and do all with the highest power level. They're all essentially "Hero-class" characters, that do not have to abide by the rules of us players...

TBH I prefer the scrapper/sentinel version of ninjitsu to the stalker one, anyway...
