I think that Portal Corp's wall-mounted portals have more options for targeting places? I mean, Vanguard takes us to Praetorian earth and different locations to primal earth, and Rikti Earth (though we never go there), but no odd places like "That one earth where your desire to catch the little red dot ended up killing everyone and turning them into angry restless spirits"

Isn't 02 boost status protection?

Not any more, but the travel powers used to be "You can take this at level 14 if you have one other power from this pool"

Super Jump is at least good as a mule. It's a great power to stick Winter's Gift: 20% slow resistance or Blessing of the Zephir: Knockback protection in. Flurry and Hasten? Not so much. I wanted Whirlwind on my Dark/Kinetics tank and had to take both Super Speed and hasten to get it. (though the bonus super speed power that allows me to phase through things is kind of nice for an air elemental). It's Dark Armour, so I don't entirely regret hasten, but I think I'd rather have Oppressive gloom if I had a choice.

Of note: for the Penny Yin redside arc, there's a lot of "If you've worked with this contact before, this mission can play out differently" I'm going to have to run this again some time because I forgot to talk to Dean when he called me during arc. In certain respects, I like it a lot better than the hero side new praetorians arc, But the villain side praetorian Penny arc would be better if you had an option

I don't know why you'd do that with Regeneration. It's pretty good on heals at the start. Super Reflexes or Invulnerability seem like better fits.

Oh, yeah. I definitely try to make room for it in every tank.

Okay, so the enhancement itself isn't very useful, but City of Data gives us: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=boosts.attuned_regenerative_tissue_e.attuned_regenerative_tissue_e So you can see: Self only. The interesting one is Panacea: Chance for +health +End The text on the enhancement says "Target" and you can slot it into powers that target other people https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=boosts.attuned_panacea_f.attuned_panacea_f Here you can see "If target is friend" so you can give your friends an extra boost with this enhancement, but not your enemies.

Storm Kick is luckily +Defense (All) so it'll stack with both typed and untyped. The issue I'd have with Willpower/Martial Arts is that Willpower gets very little DDR and not much Smashing/Lethal defense either. Willpower uses Resistance to protect against Smashing/lethal and Defense against exotic damage types (Bio Armour also does that), but a lot of lethal damage includes defense debuffs. Shield is a good fit, Invulnerability would be too.

For any power that scales with number of enemies in range Mids defaults to one enemy in range.

Of note, I'm pretty sure that the Tanker version doesn't stack with itself?

Because every other Archetype is already familiar with the experience of evisceration. They've enured themselves against it.

Yes, I'm just still salty about discovering that the Warp: Range/Increased Perception proc is a proc and not continuously active. I was so disappointed.

It can be a mule for Rectified Reticule: Increased Perception (which, unlike Warp: Range/Increased Perception, is active when the power hasn't been used in the last two minutes)

Yeah, it doesn't do that with the arcs, you don't get repeats of those, but there are "Common missions" that the game doesn't check to see if you've done them already, so if you've got multiple contacts that give you family mission, you might have to prevent Frankie from sleeping with the fishes a couple of times.

That seems perfectly in character for her.

If you're running cloak of fear, I'd go vigor over cardiac. The +health is great and cloak of fear's starting accuracy needs as much help as it can get. As for Dark Regeneration, the Theft of Essence +endurance proc fits in there quite nicely. I think I've got mine slotted with +5 boosted Fury of the Gladiator: Acc/Dam, Acc/End/Rech, and Acc/Dam/End/Rech and +5 boosted Panacea Heal/Rech, Heal/End/Rech

I'd throw Private Security Guards in the Mercs, maybe RIP too.

I was trying to figure this out from the title. There's archeytpe, there's origin, by what is character type? Obviously: Roleplay, Farmer, PVP, Casual, and Hardcore. Roleplay would clearly get high resists whenever they had a roleplay reason for it, and similarly huge weaknesses. They lose the bonuses whenever they're out of character for too long. I have no idea what bonuses the other types would get. While I'm not entirely opposed to temporary powers to give you specific resists, I also feel like "Well, that's the point of having power sets. You pick power sets relevant to the character you're trying to play."

Not a one of them looks guilty.

Just for clarity, what you're describing is proliferation, not diversification. And, hypothetically, it could, but someone would need to design the power sets and, from what I understand, they can't make new animations so it'd have to use existing resources.

Swipe is the same as Barb Swipe, This is claws and spines Strike is the same as Strike, just claws Follow up and Follow up, just claws Lunge is not the same as Lunge, surprisingly. It animates in about half the time and does more damage. There is no claws equivalent. Slash is Slash, just claws Eviscerate is Eviscerate, and uses the same animation as Ripper. But Ripper animates faster? I don't know. It's the same animation. Dart Burst is the same animation as Thorn Barrage, but they are not similar otherwise. But I was wrong. Widow claws is much closer to claws than I had thought. I mean, Widow claws do debuff recharge and move speed and do toxic damage the way spines do (but much better, 40% instead of 8% and 16% respectively) but I have to admit that the analogues of widow claws to claws are much closer than I had thought.

"Damned Cat's been looking pretty smugly satisfied. What could make a great hero feel that way?" "Damned Cat's had a yellow feather stuck between her teeth for the last three weeks. Why hasn't someone told her?" No, neither of those really fit either. Great heroes have all sorts of reasons to feel smug.

It's not the hero part, it's the "looking pretty guilty" What would it even mean for a cat to look guilty?
