I am all for this idea also. Alternatively, or additionally - I would love it to be possible to do partial respecs of the different "areas". Pool power respec, Epic/Patron power respec or full respec. For now if I want to ditch Hover on a toon for CJ, going through the whole slog of a complete respec is enough for me to not be bothered. Otherwise I do the full respec and start thinking "Hmm, maybe if I just switch this to there...." and start a whole process of trying to fix what wasn't necessarily broken!

I have to agree that this should be looked at. The description says 12% for Core Embodiment, it's natural to assume that 12% is the buff on players and the pet buff is double that. I bet I am not the first person to slot Core under that assumption and then have to go and gather components again to slot Radial for the higher buff. If it is supposed to be 6% for players then at least the description should reflect that. It's pretty misleading.

This is my current build for Energy/Atomic. It does some beastly damage and has decent enough defense so that when I Spring Attack into a group of mobs to Atom Smash then Nova, I don't get squished. I dropped Positronic Fist and Radioactive Cloud because I really didn't use them often at all and the slots were better utilized elsewhere. It's not a cheap build, but it's definitely not an insanely expensive one. It also has the bonus of the "Oh f*&#" button in Hibernate which regens you to full in about 15 seconds while you're untouchable. It's a bit of a mongrel build, put together by a friend and I specifically to suit my needs and play style, but it's so much fun to play. I also switch out the Toxic proc in Snipe with the PvP fast snipe IO situationally. I had to drop one LotG global recharge for it, but I don't miss it at all. It's also not quite perma-hasten, but pfft - whatevs. Villain Plan by Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer 2.6.0.7 https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer Click this DataLink to open the build!
