Seems like a reasonable request to me.

I don’t know about any of these proposed changes, but, speaking of Shatter / Shatter Armor, I wish they would offer an alternative animation for one or the other. It’s slightly lame that my soldier has two attacks that look identical.

.

Try Electric/ like you said. I abandoned several Sentinels out of disappointment, but my Electric/Stone/Psy I am genuinely loving for a change.

SOAD was a big influence on the subgenres I refer to as “kids metal”, but I still like this song.

Rudra alt? Please. Rudra’s position on patrol xp is even more ridiculously niche than Hardcore mode players, and I bet he couldn’t accumulate half the moderator infractions I’m capable of. You can think of a better comparison than that.

The cheerleading squad has arrived. Thank god.

Can you guys cool it? I have clouds to yell at.

Why stop at displaying the person’s name for up to 47 other people to yell at? Maybe the code could just automatically dox players who aren’t paying attention. 🙄

FYI temporary powers are disabled on four star content so are definitely irrelevant. And four star teams usually have room for 1-2 carry slots, so it’s not exclusive to meta builds; there’s just less room on the team for non-meta.

I… don’t see anything wrong with this suggestion at this point in the game’s history. Should probably be its own thread though.

If the children on twitch are doing it, that’s just another strike against the idea, really.

Just FYI EATs are the least played ATs because they have fewer powerset choices and not because they are underperforming in any way… Carry on though.

I don’t think anyone is opposed to better AI. Knockback removal and new attacks are a different story though.

Nope

All of my characters have Stamina slotted with either: Performance Shifter: EndMod Performance Shifter: Proc Generic EndMod IO or: Performance Shifter: EndMod Performance Shifter: Proc Power Transfer: EndMod Power Transfer: Proc Depending on how stressed I am for slots, etc.

I’m not sure why you took the time to write all of this like it isn’t common knowledge. Nobody is “sleeping on Sonic” just because we acknowledge that it is good but nearly every other set is a little bit better.

So where are all the… types of powers typical of a control set? We can start with no single target hold and no AoE hold, though there are several other sources of confusion here.

Only problem I see with this is every item would suddenly need 6x as many entries in the AH (5 additional for +1 thru +5), each with their own bidders and pricing. If y’all wanna deal with that mess, go ahead.

Sonic Resonance is likely 2nd to last, but IMO the DPS boost on hard targets (from Sonic Siphon and Disruption Field) is basically more valuable than anything Empathy can do.

Considering you will only use SO’s for a tiny tiny fraction of the game, if at all, I would really recommend just getting comfortable with selling them.

Was expecting an actual control set wing king 😞 This appears to be an unprecedented 50/50 combination of a blast set and a support set. Who would even get access to this set? Did ChatGPT do this one too? Cool pics tho

I wasn’t referring to animations with that language. I was basically saying that having a powers tab, powers names, powers descriptions, etc. that literally says your wielding a Battle Axe while you’re wielding a ported over Broadsword model… would create the vibe of playing a game with goofy mods installed. Which, to me, would be ugly and inelegant for the base game.

Problem with this thread is twofold: (1) Illusion Control as a whole is easily one of the best powersets in the game, and it could easily be considered to be in “Should not be buffed under any circumstances” territory as a result. (2) The sub-issue of Knockback has obviously been dealt with over and over on this forum, and, until the developers signal a major shift in their thinking, we have already established that “Slot a Sudden Acceleration Proc” is the appropriate way to address any player’s aversion to Knockback. That being said, it sounds like there is room for improvements to the Phantasm’s AI, which I would certainly support.

Considering I’m at a point where I’m literally including “No Masterminds” in my LFG broadcasts, I’m not currently in the mood to downvote any modest “Buff Masterminds” suggestions. Go right ahead.
