I'd really like to see one based on the whip attacks from Demon Summoning. I think Thunderspy has it under Psychokinetic Assault.
Would enjoy if the animation for Hell on earth were reused for a TAoE high damage DoT.

And out of the blue accusing me of being condescending is contributing what exactly to the topic at hand?
I'm not accusing you, I'm telling you how it feels to me or to people that already do what you're describing and are often fed this reply in many other like threads.

Perhaps if you took the time to actually read, things would make sense.
I did. To be frank, you didn't add much to the conversation and you're reverting into a defensive demeanor which is mostly unnecessary since I was merely asking why you would suggest something that anyone with eyes would already know is an option.
To prove I did read your posts, your reply amounts to not everyone being aware of such a possibility. I tried to appeal to your observation skills (peeps having this conversation are mostly aware of teaming qualifications on advertising if they got this far) but you withdrawing defensively might have diverted your attention from that goal.
Let's just forget all that then, direct those who aren't aware of the option to your post, and move on with discussion of new options.

Well no, I am offering a potential solution that works in the interim until something can be developed. It is a suggestion on a suggestion forum.
Are you sure? You seemed to be questioning the suggestion you are offering a solution for. It's be a different story if you acknowledged the reasons someone put forth to make a suggestion, and it's another to offer a solution that is already known and then pretend to be perplexed that someone would bother with concocting some off-the-wall fix that would involve something we don't already have.

No, I am not saying that at all. You are assuming that. I am simply offering an idea. If they are using it already, great. If not, perhaps they will give it a try.
So are you taking a detour of why someone would be making a suggestion on a suggestion forum?

How is this any different than advertising for either speed or non-speed TFs? All specific AT TFs? All specific AT mission teams? Badge runs?
It isn't. That's the point. You seem to be assuming this option is unknown or not utilized.
13 minutes ago, ShardWarrior said:Offering the suggestion of using available tools to find like minded players is a legitimate suggestion to improve the quality of play for someone. Suggesting my response is condescending is condescending to me.
As for suggesting other options and ideas, I have done that in this post and others on the topic.
No one said it isn't legitimate. You don't seem to be arguing about the assumption part so I'll just ask: do you think the person or persons you're suggesting that to are ignorant of said available tools?

I actually suggested in the past a support/melee AT that has an inherent that was a crit that effectively cast the skill twice (double the deduff/mez, but a flat amount of extra damage). It was called "Full Force". It would also decide upon power cast if it was going to hit all foes normally or all foes with Full Force to differentiate it from other types of crits (stalker/scrapper, corruptor, etc).
Basically what I'm saying is, if the change is perceived as a nerf, you're likely better off making a new AT with this idea in mind. I personally probably wouldn't care and if I did, I would adapt, but then I'm not everyone else.

I can only speak for myself here, but if people want to create their own exclusive groups to run all the content they like without using incarnate powers, more power to them. I would not feel excluded at all. There are people advertising for non-speed TFs all the time and people are joining them. Why is it somehow more difficult to advertise no incarnate power teams?
Long term I would agree more incarnate specific content is needed. In the interim, people can form their own groups to run any content without incarnate powers with like minded players.
The exclusionary aspect isn't particularly affecting the ones you're excluding, it's more a comment about excluding people inherently shrinks your pool of potential players thus fewer and smaller teams and longer wait times for grouping.
While offering available solutions can be useful, it's rather condescending to assume someone hasn't thought of this solution or doesn't actively use said solution. Suggesting improvements or speculation on other options is probably the point of the post.

That's a lot of wasted endurance for essentially no damage and a moderate amount or recharge - using Gale every time it's up will give you 16.67%, but usually you would have a shorter attack chain and use it half the time, 8.33% recharge, unless you wanted damage or to focus on your summons (1-3%ish recharge). I wouldn't waste the slot.
Maybe I'm just crazy, but just because a power is recharged doesn't mean it needs to be clicked. Just because a debuff/buff or CC isn't perma doesn't mean it doesn't contribute. Circumstances change as do needs so maybe there is a situation where spamming Gale is very useful, but at the same time, you can be pushing to shift the situation so you don't need to spam it?
Or maybe I just read the post wrong because it really just makes very little sense the mentalities people put forth sometimes.

Slotting the power with a set is absolutely better if you want 10% Recharge and 6% Resist to Psy/Toxic and so on and so on and so on. Its just not better for raw damage, and you make your choices and take your chances.
I'm guessing that's in response to my first paragraph? Yeah, it'd be a choice in build direction. Specifically for me, I just like random goodies like crits so I slotted procs in my build on live before PPM as well.

You answered your own question.
No seriously, you really did. That's exactly why it was put into place. When you have a power that is on say like a 240s base recharge, and it only has a 20% chance to proc the particular effect, why would you ever slot procs in these powers? It would be far too unreliable. Also, it makes powers that have multiple ticks and chances to fire that are static like Rain of Fire / Sleet possibly overpowered by being a fixed % on a lot of its ticks.
Further, it gives further advantage to high DPAS sets (Fire Blast) because of what you just said, fire more often, more procs. The PPM system imo is much better overall and fairer than the old system.
Also, many builds have already been made specifically designed with PPM procs in mind. It would be a huge nerf to several characters (especially Controllers/Doms).
I would put a 20% proc in a long rech power... If the resulting damage was like a crit for a good /big chunk of damage.
Personally speaking, I think the issue with procs is their all out nothing approach. The PPM system favors high rech which isn't too strong... Until you put 4+ procs into a power. No, instead, they should have mixed the mechanics so that some procs were % based, some were PPM based, some were condition based and some are just baseline additional (for your debuff procs) so that it wouldn't be so simple to load a power up with procs like Savage melee's tier 9. If it were mixed so only 1 of the slottable proc was PPM and the other 2 were % based while another had something else, the optimal choice might be to only slot 2 procs. It would be a nerf to that power but when loading up on procs is better than just the slotted power, you know you messed up somewhere.

They are objectively undertuned sets. They're not unplayable by any stretch, but they're not wrong in stating that those sets are not "good" in the endgame meta in comparison to others.
And you've further hyperbolized his intent since I feel this might be more of a semantics argument. Now you're bringing in "good" likely in context of comparing them to meta builds which is exactly what I'm pointing out.

Oh no, it's not that the sets themselves as wholes are flawed, I'm pointing out sets that are weak in ST damage, does not mean they're bad sets.
Like I said, your standards might have shifted. I don't feel any of those sets are weak in ST. They may not excel in ST sustained DPS, but I feel a distinction should be made between weak and generalized/unspecialized.

In addition, (non-Stalker) Elec Melee, Psionic Melee (has decent burst but horrible sustain), Kinetic Melee, Staff Fighting, Energy Blast, Radiation Blast (though this one is a bit better overall than Energy), and Elec Blast isn't reliably good (relies on Sentinel which can easily get distracted if multiple enemies are present, to get it to competitive levels).
Stating my opinion on that: I just think your standards have changed and shifted too far toward the meta. There is nothing wrong with any of those sets.

This is my main criticism with regards to MM because there really is no way around it. Maybe taking Grant invis and putting them in passive, but it's a bandaid. MM just don't do well in non-straight forward objectives. Trying to navigate maps that have obstacles or enemies to avoid is the drawback of the AT.
I once suggested giving MM a "stow pets" ability that unsummon pets when activated and resummon them with the same buffs they had before. Didn't get much traction.

I was actually going to start a thread similar to this but reverse, putting up a character concept, bio and name and ask which badge and or title to use.
Or did someone already make that thread too?

Oh I fully understand why people like it. However, I rolled an Elec/Ice, not an Ice/Ice. So I came to realize that about the only thing that pairs well with /Ice is Ice...at least for me. I will however roll an Ice/Ice if they ever give the option to give Ice's Assassin's Strike animation the same animation as Spine's Assassin Strike. I honestly can't get passed the current animation enough to be able to enjoy Ice as a primary.
I don't see elec being a bad pairing. In fact, I'd say ice melee is more a miss match since it doesn't really need much for mitigation. Although, maybe utilizing the slow from CE to keep foes in place to line up ice breath?
I personally went psi/ice which does get to stack the -rech. Elec/ice gets to stack the -end which can help when wearing down a thick target.
As for the other criticism, I feel overall Ice armor is more a defensive set. Not every set needs or should be offensive oriented when the various primaries also have varying degrees of offense and defense. For sets like psi or elec that are more balanced between offense and defense, you might end up with a supportive or tanking persuasion that you can capitalize on if you're slotted for it. I'd never want to lose those options.

Why even take it then? Wouldn't it just make more sense to go with Energy Aura?
I'd assume as a melee DPS, you still deal with runners. Ice patch is good mitigation but very small. CE stops then in their tracks.
Also, you can just turn CE off when you don't need it. Bam! Same function as a click.

He did his time, was released on parole, volunteered in his community, and was a free man at the time of his death. What is your point? How is his history even remotely relevant?
You're right that I don't care what his life was like. Because it doesn't matter. Literally a single tiny bit.
What matters is that an unarmed man posing no threat was killed by four police officers in broad daylight and it took days and riots to even START getting justice - arresting all four officers. We'll see if justice winds up being served. Wanna bet?
See the bolded. I would normally agree. But this isn't about an unarmed man posing no threat being killed by four police officers...this is about (at least to you people) an unarmed *BLACK* man posing no threat being killed by four police officers, one of which was *WHITE*.
If you can't see why I'm complaining, then I guess I have failed in communicating and you have failed in considering the perspective of a fellow man.

I think it's legitimately a 'don't let them see you in your uniform because the uniform is off-putting in the current political climate and we want these progressive young minds to sign up for the army'. It's weirdly o.O f'd up if you think about it, but that isn't part of this conversation.
Edit - It is not a "don't wear your uniform because you aren't safe", which is what the OP about this was insinuating.
That is the same thing.
If people are "put off" by the uniform, the actions they can't aren't as predictable. But we're straying away from the point I was making in the first place: being worried more about rioters than cops.

With all due respect to your opinions, Leo, this particular man isn't the first or only case... He's just one of several at the forefront this time around.
If it helps with putting things in perspective, consider Breonna Taylor instead.
I'm not willing to jump to conclusions about crimes because it's too often spun by the media. I still say it's the height of distasteful to make this a "race tally". Because if you want to start one, I can do that.
I guaran-damn-tee no one protested Daniel Shaver or Justine Ruszczyk. Like I said before, if you want to be civil (and "respect" my opinion), you wouldn't treat black people special. You would treat them equally. I'm not arguing that black people aren't victims, I'm arguing the actions of police need fixing. You aren't going to win by turning the entire population against the police force or dividing us on racial lines. I'm surprised I even have to point this perspective out.

I 100% have seen many army personal wearing their uniforms. So, if this is just for recruiters. That's actually concerning. Does the army realize young generations have a sour taste in their mouth from all the bad politics following the government/military/police force these days? So, in an effort to counter that, they are trying to be the "cool kids" and blend in like...
....
That's actually concerning, but I guess that's a better topic for a different time.It's all PR. Military is extremely sensitive about that kind of stuff. Their efforts mainly aim to quell any possible altercations as that would create a worse situation. It's not about being "the cool kid" or whatever, it's about professionalism. We still have a dress code, we just do not wear boots and OCPs. And while we do still wear the uniform on military posts, the guidance put out by S1 is often aimed at exactly that, PR, within the unit and out.

I can't give you a source because I'm not a mind reader. You're better off reading both sides and making up your own mind (probably not used to that, huh?). All I know is, violence is happening for a very petty reason and public servants are the most affected.

Boston has had one rough evening 10 days ago and has been some of the most peaceful protesting in the nation since.
Again, have you been assaulted for wearing your uniform in public? Simple yes or no.
No, I haven't been assaulted by protesters. But I'm more afraid of it happening than some random cop doing their job.
