Depending upon your level of patience, the weapon mastery ancillary power pool offers a few shuriken attacks to both scrappers and stalkers. If you go with a scrapper, their version of ninjitsu also includes a nice +end power, (though you forego physical perfection from the APP but get caltrops instead). If you wanted to extend your imagination a bit, go with something like a claws/ninjitsu scrapper, so you can get a few additional ranged attacks to boot...

And now that you mention it, I don't think Black Widow was ever married, nor is Hawkeye a bird at all!

And I pointed out how that was due to different circumstances; Those sets had *no* mitigation to certain damage types, which is not the case for Willpower.

Apples to oranges; The notion of sets having "holes" has all but been done away with; A set can still be weaker in some areas, but generally not completely lacking. Early sets like invuln originally lacked any psi resist at all, and I don't think any sets had any protection from toxic when the game launched.

I can't point to a specific source, but you can get a pretty good idea by looking at armor sets, like SR, that have click mez protection and comparing their duration with the amount of slotting required to make it permanent. Couple that with the amount of slots we're given by 50 and how IO sets typically include "other" attributes that one wouldn't usually slot for, if they only had SOs, which can do more with those same slots, but still reach the point of steep ED diminishing returns.

My opinion is skewed, because my rad/savage/leviathan sharkman, "Megalo Don", is my most fun tanker to play! Ugh! I just realized I have 2 versions of him! One's a bio/savage/leviathan and the other is rad/savage/soul! Can I vote for both combinations? 😝

I haven't bothered to check, but I wonder if the Blu-Ray has any decent deleted/cut content. If so, a good fan edit could really improve things - i.e. less Ezra Miller 🤪

No time for Cyberpunk... too busy playing CoH!!!!

Given that the game already permits tops like eden, where it's basically just a thin strip of color over the breast, I wonder if a top akin to pasties would be permissible, (omitting any specific nipple detail, of course).

I suggest taking an excerpt of the log pertaining to healing, particularly if there are other healing effects going off periodically, (like the panacea chance for hp/end), and submitting it to the bug section, if that is in fact the case...

They'd probably have to add alternate ear options instead. Likely would have to be done has glove options. Would probably have to be alternate face options, to line up with the mouth correctly. This would similarly have to be glove options, in all likelihood. There's at least 1 chest option for males/huge that already has this. I can't imagine that they'd add this for females, though...

Of all the armor sets that need improving, I'd argue that Willpower is way toward the bottom. That being said, the lion's share of the S/L resistance comes from mind over body, not heightened senses...

Regeneration is, for all intents and purposes, and unlike most other armor sets, reactive instead of proactive. Sure, you could hit dull pain in anticipation of taking a big hit, but most of the set's schtick is to take the damage head-on then heal back up afterward. This is contrary to most players' expectations, IMO. It's a good set where you have other forms of mitigation, via your attack set, pool powers, or other sources. I think that if you look at it from this perspective, you'll have a better outcome...

I almost always take tactics instead - it costs less, is available earlier, and benefits my teammates as well as myself.

I have many level 50 sentinels - they're probably my favorite AT to play. I've really come to love dual pistols due to the versatility of swap ammo, and Ninjitsu offers a wide variety of tools to keep you in the fight. I similarly like fire mastery for its varied selection of tools. That being said, it is neither the most powerful nor the tankiest combination I've played, but it has a little bit of everything and a tool for just about any situation.

What would be really awesome is if the more obvious costume options could be given the "combat aura" treatment, only they appear or disappear only when a travel power is in use. The rocket boots seem to have the ability to detect whether you are jumping or flying, so the mechanic already exists, at least in some form, and wings only flap or animate in a similar fashion...

Not knocking the suggestion, but that's closer to some of the robe options we have.

At least up the amount of absorb that's granted when it procs...

How do you feel about... balls with eyes? ...Asking for Rularuu... 🤫

What would be interesting would be to diverge from the typical build stacks/consume stacks mechanic and instead have them build up up automatically, then have all attacks consume said stacks. So basically, you "cool off" to build up stacks in between fights, (perhaps allowing for even more stacks to accumulate), then using them up as you fight. Concentration could instead replenish the stacks, and perhaps have a flat amount of added damage and tohit based upon said stacks, instead of the typical build-up effect...

Since the tinting on the spectrum pieces seems kind of wonky, (when you factor in how the primary and secondary colors produce the end result), I'd love to have one of the colors "locked', so it shows the actual color selected AND opens up the ability to apply patterns to it.

There are a few mace attacks, but I get your point.

If you go mace mastery, you can improve his defense via scorpion shield.

That's why I suggested going with a Sentinel. Take Mace Mastery if you want to give him a bit of extra gear to utilize, as well as a "disposable" robot/cannon fodder. Having gotten several sentinels to 50 + incarnates, I can vouch for them being extremely durable once you also factor in set bonuses, and Luthor can go toe-to-toe with Superman while in his armor, at least for short stints...

Ever get the feeling that you're watching your life from just over your own shoulder? Hey, how'd that status bar get there??? o.O
