I guess you could always just tweak the numbers. If they don't have PA, then they don't have Illusion Control so that would be pointless.

Some say it wouldn't do much for Domination. I say that's fine, because it doesn't do much for Containment either. It doesn't need to as it stands on its own. I support!

I'm all about more choices. I support this. Stuff like this would be what makes me actually do more than street sweep and papers in redside.

A good compromise would be to ooen up Epic Pools a smidge earlier while doing a big balance pass on them, add a power or two to existing pools, and to add a bunch more pools. That'd sort of be a Tertiary powerset at that point.

You can't force yourself to like Redside. Whether it's the level design or not wanting to be a bad guy. And that's fine. It doesn't reflect badly on the content nor does it reflect badly on you. If you dislike doing Redside content but might want to team with Redsiders, play Vigilante. If you don't want to or don't like the morality missions that make you Vigilante, Null the Gull can fix you right up.

If snake tail in place of legs can ever be made to work, I'll make a new main based around it.

I'm all about more options in character creation.

Let me keep my fancy Gold Star or Blue Arrow icons even in Primal Earth. Treat me like a Vigilante or Rogue if you want. It really spices up my character select screen! God I love this idea.

I know this is unrelated to hair, but... how feasible would taking the current animated tails and scaling them up to a larger size be? Larger versions of each existing tail?

Exactly. "Barbarian" hair is the Male equivalent of Serrated Sugar. Definitely need more good hair.

Need more hair options in general... I have like 5 usable go-to hairstyles in this game. More customization for beast heads and hats is sorely needed as well, specifically. I support!

I definitely think there's room for a Psi specialist Armor set, much like how Fire is considered broadly squishy but specialized for Fire damage. You put quite a lot of thought and work into this idea, and while the numbers can be adjusted, it's a solid foundation. Psi Aura isn't high on my list of power sets I want, but I could definitely get behind it. In terms of theme, being a Psi specialist would put you in another level over Super Reflexes as your trained (or mutated, runed, amplified, or microchipped) mind blocks Psi attacks specifically, making you a Psionic Hunter of sorts.

Slow your roll there, buddy. Don't blame these fine folk for doing what they do best. It's well within their right to try to offer helpful advice, but ultimately the OP is not their responsibility whatsoever. As for radio missions, those seem more like filler unless you're doing one of those Roleplaying radio mission team sessions. It's RP but while actively super heroing (or super villaining), which certainly sounds great! I just have to stop posting on the discord and the forums long enough to play the actual game to participate in such a session... Anyway, OP, if you're still reading to this point, communication is key. If the people you meet up with don't share your idea of a good time, let it roll off your shoulder and keep looking. Go to a different shard if your current one is inactive during your regular play time. It's basic advice but it's the best anyone can give when considering the lack of context. If you're just taking the piss, congrats, you got me.

Mostly Heroes with token characters of other alignments. A couple Rogues and Praetorians. That kind of thing. Also, I'm getting a little sick of these threads turning into Red vs Blue flame wars. We ought to just tear down the barriers between Heroes, Villains and Praetorians. Let us go anywhere and chum it up with anyone. Leave moral consistency or lack there of in the group leader's hands. This is a dead, zombified game that's likely losing more players than it's gaining. The faction barriers don't make sense.

This post inspired me to make an Emp Defender. With a secondary with secondary effects that Defender can boost and proc of course. Maybe Emp/Dark

I know it's only partly related to the topic, but I'd love an option to change character select to a grid view of sorts. That way you could have 20 or even 30 characters on the "front page". For true altoholics it could be a big QoL boost. Not to mention it would end up looking like a fighting game roster at that point.

I mean, they can, just not on their first costume slot where you have your bog standard Arachnos uniform. This is my Crab Spider (or it will be, eventually). I mostly just ignore my first costume slot the moment I get in game. I book it straight to the Surgeon in Mercy and make my real costume.

I support it! Cutting Beam is kind of underwhelming on its own.

You know I completely forgot that Energy Manip's Stun changes range based on whether you have Boost Range or Power Boost up. I love the idea of being a jetpack using hoverblaster, and Beam Rifle seems as good a primary as any! Definitely helps that BR's single target blasts are roughly equivalent to the melee attacks in Energy Manipulation and can get a rotation based on BR alone. At some point I'm going to make an /Energy Blaster though it feels like a tossup between Beam Rifle and Ice Blast at this point.

Sadly I don't have any advice to offer, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread because this looks like a really fun Blaster build!

Only if you still breath it out. Snipe Breath.

Hard yes. If only to have another set give Fire Blast a run for its money.

These are all good ideas. One of my first characters (I'd say probably around number 7 or 8 back when I first started) was an Empathy/Radiation Defender. Even though I barely knew how to play the game, I was still complimented quite a bit on keeping the team alive. Honestly, whenever I see Empathy threads, it makes me want to try the set again. Sadly, I feel like a lot of concerns about the set are pretty legitimate in this day and age. There's lots of drawbacks in the set that top performers don't have.

*shrug* That would probably be a cool scene to experience but there's still the whole of redside. Look, I wouldn't lose any sleep over a greater incentive to play Red through merits or inf. I just think it's a band aid solution that wouldn't draw people who don't like Red to play Red. I feel like a more flexible story in any part of the game would be a good thing. I say this because even though I'm primarily Blue, I think Goldside is PEAK CoX. In terms of choice and writing style. Basically, make the interplay between Villain and Rogue (and Hero and Vigilante) more like Resistance and Loyalists.

I mean I like anything Tech related in terms of power suggestions. What I'm more interested in (though a specialty in Psi resistance would be unique though it needs to fall short somewhere else for balance) is what kind of abilities would Robotic Defense have? There's plenty of cool ways you could spin it. Personally I'd rather have something like Gadget Control or Powered Armor (think Ironman or Warmachine like powerset) first, but I'd roll this.
