Yeah invul has it for the same reason WP does, the baddies fuel one of the survival powers.
So by saying no new scrapper sets will get taunt auras it implies future scrapper sets will get something closer to the stalker/sent version rather than brute version of future sets.
If this set exists the superheroes should only be the ones that make you groan lol
So
Fusionette
The Shining Stars
Leoknight
Manticore
Kadabrakill
Etc.
Possible, sure.
But clearly stated that taunt auras are just whatever they are.
Tbh, in context at the time he seemed surprised some scrappers had taunt auras.
Pool powers to shifted forms would be OP with the inherent as it is now for teams anyway.
Especially for PBs they get +resist for every blaster, scrapper, brute, stalker. Like those are hard to find in teams ..
Which is weird.
Both in that the city we see isn't even close to that size.
And of course the fact that there are a lot of metro areas in the US with larger populations than the entire state of RI.
At the same time their melee attacks are often underpowered compared to the older sets.
New sets seem to have direct scrapper ports. While the old ones had double recharge time with appropriate resulting damage scale.
That, and the example idea of a Chinatown that "looks like" Chinatown is a cultural distinction.
Since by far most people of "Ethnically" Chinese descent in the US live in places that look exactly the same as people from anywhere else.
It would definitely be best if LOS and a certain range (much longer than normal see you aggro range) be limiters.
Thus allowing for situational tactics
That is kind of the idea. If you are a member of the Team of Bad Guys and all your buddies 100 feet away are getting walloped, should you go help them out?
Or .. just let the people invading your base rest, recover, and then take you out when they are ready?
Capt PH has mentioned that he didn't feel scrappers should have taunt auras.
So we won't be getting any added to sets that don't have them, nor will any other sets for scrappers get them.
It seemed like those that have them will keep them though.
There is a lot of variety in IOs
Its just that because of game mechanics, certain things, like recharge, defense, recovery are far more useful.
That makes sense in a game that was basically designed for SOs.
