Well the buffs all carry through the forms, It's mainly the shields/defensive powers that are a pain. Not saying the powers have to reactivate in forms, just eliminate the mad scramble from shifting forms and having to re-toggle everything.
Every time there is a new Issue or Patch Notes, I quickly scan them looking for something about Kheldians and Toggles. Been playing since Khelds were first launched and having to Re-Toggle Human Form powers is something to this day I don't understand why it hasn't been eliminated. I mean is it somehow going make Khelds OP'd and make the other ATs scream for a nerf? I don't think so. Is there some kind of technical limitation I am missing? It has to be the most basic QoL Kheld change requested. Glad that some of the power pools and other ATs are getting looked at/ reworked, but what would it take to finally put this issue to rest?
Powers
New Prestige Powers
Only Affect Self
Activating this power prevents you from attacking foes or aiding allies - all powers will only affect yourself
If you are attacked, this power will suppress, allowing you to fight back
Disable All Powers
Activating this power will stop all your powers and set bonuses from working
Both of these powers can be acquired from the P2W vendor in the Prestige Utility category for zero cost
What is the purpose of these two? I'm trying to fathom a reason.
There's also no benefit in disabling XP. You're only robbing yourself of EMP Merits that if you choose to level another 50 on the account you could transfer them to, or if HC makes changes to the system you could use them for something else.
Number one is toggle suppression. I could do without any of the other changes, but this has always seemed a dumb mechanic to me. You design a toon to change forms, but punish them for changing out of form.
Saw your toon in PI the other day. I just recently rerolled my PB from live and upgraded his build to current standards. Been fun playing a PB (mainly use my WS) and not have to worry about form shifting as much. He's tri-form and is balanced in all forms w/perma lightform, but I honestly only use lightform when I'm in solo Nova mode.
Am I the only one who really cares less about the speed of Flight? I never slot it for anything other than Endu reduction and it's not like anyone is flying far far distances.
What is the purpose of out of combat defence?
Stealth
Stealth radius increased to match the numbers Invisibility had before this patch
PvE radius has increased from 36ft to 55ft
PvP radius has increased from 389ft to 611ft
Out of combat defence increased from 3.5% to 7%
Going to be hard pressed to find a cookie cutter min/max WS as playstyle plays a large part of the equation. I can say my build is a tri-form, perma eclipse, high-recharge 3 to 4 fluffies, usually hovering at the 300% damage cap on teams and I think it's uber, but you are constantly hustling/shifting to maintain to peak form.
