Can Pocket D and Paragon Dance Party get a connection door or portal?

I do have IO builds on multiple characters. They are benefit to playing. Costumes are not. Opportunity cost. And, not every build is stupid expensive. Between drops and converters many of my builds are cheap, especially since I dont use Winter Sets on everything. Even transferring hero merits I am reluctant to drop them for winter sets. I get you have much more time to play this game than I do. Again, opportunity costs. So, when it comes to outfitting another character to play or have a special aura or mini mode... I will pass on the glam. I would rather do a TF or play a new concept. I have many characters that will never get IO's because the cost of getting them or playing something better that is already spec'd out.

My ... didnt convey my snark about the stupid long recharge times for powers now. I was poking fun at previous reasons fro power changes and such. I do agree. Multiple "epic" pools are not worth taking. As another posted, Fold Space is more useful now. I already had it on multiple characters. now, I might put it on others too. I actually have Quicksand on my stone tank for thematic reasons, but I will probably drop it now.

The epic nerf to lengthen recharge is, in my guess, to slow down the farming...

There are many powers I will skip because of stupid long recharge times.

Telekinesis

I always have to bow down to your greatness with everything you post about how great you are and how great things you achieve over everyone else. You are just amazing. now, for the normal people... and I play more than i should. Tier 3 is out of my reach. I will not be able to earn enough of the PaP or influence in normal play of task forces and incarnate to have the opportunity cost be worth getting them.

How long does the buff last? (Thanks) I installed the test server but now it is "gone" and I have to install again. i will do that later...

Ice Melee has been third class since Frozen Aura...

I am still dumbfounded by how expensive tier 3 options are. I still have not earned enough in game to get one. Tier 2 either. If I add them together from multiple characters I can. I do the WST on multiple characters each week.

My favorite defender is a time Electric. My badge toon is a spines ice brute I have multiple controller combinations with electric radiation and earth dark being my favorites. Gravity time is also fun. Not everyone plays the optimal character. But there are some powers which are terrible because of long recharge or bad functionality which means I will never take them.

The extremely long recharge times and new extended recharge times will make powers absolutely skippable... Really, why bother? I think I am the only person to take Quicksand on my tank and I will be dropping it next respec. Tar Patch will never be considered. Ever. If you want the powers to never be selected then leave the long recharge times. If you want variety then shorter recharge will make different power selections viable for more builds.

I learned something knew. I didn't know about Null having the power. Thank you.

A Null the Gull option to disable Group Flight would simplify the request above. Add + defense to Acrobatics. Not every character needs stealth to get the additional LotG or GotA procs.

If you are going to change an AoE to ranged AoE, can you make a ranged IO set with the same bonuses as Obliteration? (Maybe a different proc damage though)

My favorite support character is a Time/Electric defender. Three holds and power boosted Farsight... But I have a bunch of different support characters.

I stopped using it on live after the nerf then. Have not used it since. Definitely will not used the new version.

I am not digging the change to telekinesis. Post ED it is already a skip power and now it is worse. Going with your theme of drawing the targets to a central location I think is neat. Better than repulsion but you could pin enemies in a corner and they were held. Immobile mobs can attack... Even when clumped together. Make it a click attack. Draw the spawn to target. Add a - defense and -to hit de buff. The spawn was just violently moved to the target... Or make it a disorient like Worm Hole. 90s recharge.

That is pretty cool

Gravity Time controller, with power boost you can cap defense and you can perma hasten and perma Chrono shift. very fun with IOs Time Electric defender, with sould mastery you can have three holds, perma hasten and perma chron shift, and cap defense with farsight Gravity Electric dom, very sith like and much fun. with perma hasten i dont even use the electrical attacks often. but they are nice Mind kin controller, these are not the droids you are looking for. But, it can nullify multiple spawns at once with holds, fears, sleeps, and confusion, and adds fulcrum shift...

you only get the bonus for the length of the bonus and you have to activate BU or Aim before the activation of Blizzard.

solo, sure. in a team... the real powers get used first. I know storm cell doesnt aggro. unless you drop a second one on the same group.

The set up is irritating for the added damage. On defenders and corruptors it is not a bad set because damage is secondary to the buff/debuff set. When I am dropping Freezing Rain or Radiation Infection first, then the set up power to finally drop and attack, the attack being meh is alright.

Rain of Arrows and Full auto are more useful than Cat 5. Blizzard is awesome. Except for not getting full use of BU/Aim for the full duration. Still much better than Cat 5.
