As for Powered Armor types: -Council Ascendents & Burkholder -Crey Tanks -Arachnos Crabs & maybe Tarantulas (though maybe tarantulas are more like cyborgs?) -Praetorian infantry -PPD Powered Armor division (though i guess they do disappear before late game) -Rikti Robots & Cyborgs also vie for the tech enemy space so that may be why you feel their isn't enough power armor npcs As for groups that extensively employ mutants aren't those what Arachnos Telepaths are? I maybe misremembering the lore there though Edit: Added Rikti

Thank you

A Bots/Traps/Mu MM, it's what i came back to the live game for after having originally left heroes over ED/GDN & other nerfs. It was my 1st of like 5 post return 50s & my 2nd 50 overall, one of very few fully recreated toons I took from live to HC the other to hit 50 in both is a Time/Sonic/Sorcery/Soul Def

-Metabolic Acceleration, which is a toggle, appears to provide mez resistance not protection but since toggles suppress when mez'd wouldn't that resistance be useless? (unless that part of the toggle did not suppress) -Not sure why I have it in my head that slotting Defiant Barrage +Status in an attack allows you to use that attack when mez'd i didn't find confirmation of that in the wiki. If all it offers when proc'd is the 1 mag unstackable with self protection it provides is nearly worthless since almost all the mez I see is Mag 2 or above Those aside I'm mulling over a Dark/Atom/Mace build that lowers my en/neg defense by 5% to 45/35 respectively so i can do nearly 100 more damage with Blackstar from 560 to 657 thx to the Armageddon proc not sure if it's worth it though

I'm looking for access to Faction specific powers like Praetorians pets & the IDF(?) missile barrage backpack & other powers which traditionally are the kind of things fulfilled by PPPs not APPs but in reality there is no need to maintain those divisions now

I mostly had the literal "new praetorians" group in mind as patrons but im not opposed to your idea

as for unlocking these pools i figure starting (or completing) the New Praetorians arc should suffice, completing the relevant incarnate trials ought to work as well

definitely hoping for the day we can control our transparency

Definitely the former, hell they could even buck the trend set by APPs & PPPs by making these new pools primarily have defense armors, sky is the limit as they say

Whrn it comes to the Patron Pools I have a list of grievances and you're gonna hear(read) about them: -All but 1 pool has resistance armors. -The only one with a defense armor locks you into a tech theme with just about all other powers -The resistance armored sets lock you into rather magical or at least magic adjacent themes especially with the pets (the matermind versions get this the least since they don't get pool pets) To alleviate those issues & provide players with new powers to play with i suggest alternate pools inspired by the New Praetorians that follow the same structure as the Patron pools; *Alec Parsons for Tech/Science *Pendragon for Magic/Natural *Aurora for Mutant (& a decent place to put the defense armor) *Grant Guston for Tech/Natural

did they relax the dual boxing restrictions?

This is the way

Do some marketing & you can accumulate serious INF

2 billion inf across my alts & floating in my inbox last i checked but i estimate i could get over 4 billion if i liquidated my top builds

Wow, been playing since issue 0 & i think this is the first time i've ever heard that about Procs. A proc triggering and then missing when the main power hits is wack.

Dark blast allows you to stack a lot of -tohit on enemies, a cone immob & you get a self heal attack then pair that up with Martial Combat which has mez protection & a pbaoe KD & you're good Alternatively any secondary with a ranged hold like /Rad should be good

Thank you, you have given me lots to reconsider Thx

Doesn't one of the APPs have a web grenade power or am i misremembering?

Bots no longer do KB? What is better to slot for procs caltrops or acid mortar?

I'm not opposed i have only really had it on a cone based toon so as a pbaoe it only really work smoothly for me if i use the pbaoe nuke right after

i strongly support these suggestions

Instead of a run speed movement bonus which might make navigation more difficult for some people or on some maps how about taking a page from domination, by providing a self teleport power that becomes available at a sufficient level of fury to represent the "oh sh**" suddenly ultra fast movement of an enraged beast?

I support this APP suggestion i suggested something similar based on a rifle years ago Edit: Shameless plug

Usually KB protection on immobs just prevents KB still allowing targets to be KD Edit: It appears I confused Protection for Resistance

no objection
