[Bugged Costuming: Defense Bottoms and Boots]

Whenever I load up a female costume that is wearing defense bottoms and the smooth defense boots both with the defense coloring, it changes the defense bottoms to the talon bottoms and the smooth defense boots to the thigh highs upon loading:

what's the difference between zc_Leadership and normal Leadership?

[Power and power set ideas.]

Time Control as a primary control set for Dominators only:

 

- Time Wall

- Time Stop

- Time Barricade (AoE version of Time Wall)

- Memory Distortion (Confuse)

- Aging Aura (-SPD, Minor DoT (Psionic))

- Time Shift

- Time Stop Field (AoE version of Time Stop)

- Memory Oppression (Fear)

- Temporal Singularity (same as the Singularity, but with Time Wall, Aging Touch, and Time Stop as its attacks)

1) Incarnate stuff are OP by design, and generally more damage focused

2) patron power pets are generally not the same as MM/controller/Dom pets. they are much more damage focused than sing/Jack

 

A blaster with singularity would be crazy. Sing could absorb the alpha strike, the blaster could then unleash their crashless nuke, while sing tanks and holds any left over from the blasters alpha while the blaster mopped up. 

I guess you do have a point about pets in ancillary pools. There could at least be mastermind pets as Incarnate pets, and/or more Incarnate pets to chose from. for example: Hydra, Igneous, etc.

While I would love a pet on some of my characters, i think that is going a bridge too far. Pets are typically a signature power of the class the come from, not a gap filling power like APPs are supposed to be.

 

The non-blaster/mastermind patron pools and incarnate lore slots have pets though

[Proliferation of any epics not available with like ATs]

I would also like to see sixth powers for epic pools.

 

For example:

 

Blaster

Cold Mastery: Jack Frost

Electrical Mastery: Gremlins

Flame Mastery: Fire Imps

Force Mastery: Singularity

Shadow Mastery (My Idea): Umbra Beast

 

Defender / Corruptor

Dark Mastery: Umbra Beast

Device Mastery (Tyrannical's Idea): Gun Drone

Electricity Mastery: Gremlins

Flame Mastery: Fire Imps

Frost Mastery (Tyrannical's Idea): Jack Frost

Power Mastery: Singularity

 

Scrapper / Stalker

Blaze Mastery: Fire Imps

Body Mastery: Singularity

Darkness Mastery: Umbra Beast

Lightning Mastery (My Idea): Gremlins

Rime Mastery (Tyrannical's Idea): Jack Frost

Weapon Mastery: Gun Drone

 

Tankers / Brute

Arctic Mastery: Jack Frost

Earth Mastery: Animate Stone

Energy Mastery: Singularity

Lightning Mastery (My Idea): Gremlins

Nether Mastery (My Idea): Umbra Beast

Pyre Mastery: Fire Imps

 

Sentinel

Dark Mastery: Umbra Beast

Electricity Mastery: Gremlins

Energy Mastery (My Idea): Singularity

Fire Mastery: Fire Imps 

Ice Mastery: Jack Frost

Ninja Tool Mastery: Call Genin (without dialogue and Mastermind commands)

 

Mastermind

Charge Mastery: Charged Armor

Heat Mastery: Fire Shield

[Proliferation of any epics not available with like ATs]

I also think Sentinels should have an energy-themed pool:

 

Sentinel

Energy Mastery

- Conserve Power

- Energy Punch

- Focused Accuracy

- Total Focus

- Physical Perfection

I like them!

 

I was initially avoiding doing Dark or Electric since Soul and Mu exist, but you did a pretty good job at making them stand out!

 

Any ideas for Electric themed sets for Controller/Dominator and the Melee Archetpes?

I also don't think it's fair that Blasters, Corruptors, Defenders, Masterminds, and Sentinels can choose either Charge/Electrical/Electricity Mastery or Mu Mastery as their electric-themed epic pool while all the other non-epic archetypes are stuck with having Mu Mastery as their only choice of electric-themed epic pool, so here are some ancillary electric-themed pools that I came up with as suggestions:

 

Controller / Dominator

Electric Mastery

/ - Charged Bolts/Thunder Clap

- Short Circuit

 - Charged Armor

- Surge of Power

- Power Sink

 

Scrapper / Stalker / Tanker / Brute

Lightning Mastery

 - Electric Fence

- Tesla Cage (Controller/Dominator version)

 - Charged Bolts

- EM Pulse

 - Ball Lightning

[Proliferation of any epics not available with like ATs]

I don't think it's fair that Corruptors, Defenders, Scrappers, Sentinels, and Stalkers can choose either Dark/Darkness Mastery or Soul Mastery as their dark-themed epic pool while all the other non-epic archetypes are stuck with having Soul Mastery as their only choice of dark-themed epic pool, so here are some ancillary dark-themed pools that I came up with as suggestions:

 

Blaster / Mastermind

Shadow Mastery

/ - Fade/Umbral Torrent

- Heart of Darkness

 - Dark Embrace

/ - Darkest Night/Tenebrous Tentacles

- Soul Transfer

 

Controller / Dominator

Darkness Mastery

/ - Dark Blast/Fade

- Umbral Torrent

 - Dark Embrace

- Soul Transfer

- Dark Consumption

 

Tanker / Brute

Nether Mastery

 - Torrent

- Petrifying Gaze

 - Dark Blast

- Night Fall

 - Tenebrous Tentacles

I just had a check and looks like they do! I totally missed that.

 

Seems like Defenders/Corruptors are the only ones with a new Ancillary Powerset so I don't risk looking too much like a fool at least 

 

It shouldn't be too hard to proliferate Arctic Mastery to scrappers/stalkers and it shouldn't be too hard to proliferate Darkness Mastery and Weapon Mastery to brutes/tankers either.

[Defensive Controller Archetype]

I feel like this would need a very, very offensive inherit ability or damage mod in order to work with just control powers, or a sort of "control assault" where sets acted more like Grav/ with some offense thrown in to work.

 

Control/Def would be incredibly safe but slow given you can lock down enemies, and then anything not locked isnt too threatening. However, you need some offensive power to be able to solo.

I suppose the primary powersets could be a mix of control and melee then. In that case:

 

Suggested primary powersets so far:

- Atomic Apprehension (Mix of Radiation Melee and Atomic Manipulation)

- Darkness Apprehension (Mix of Dark Melee and Control)

- Earth Apprehension (Mix of Stone Melee and Earth Control)

- Electric Apprehension (Mix of Electric Melee and Control)

- Fire Apprehension (Mix of Fire Melee and Control)

- Ice Apprehension (Mix of Ice Melee and Control)

- Medieval Apprehension (Mix of Broad Sword and Tactical Arrow)

- Military Apprehension (Mix of War Mace and Devices)

- Physics Apprehension (Mix of Kinetic Melee and Gravity Control)

- Psionic Apprehension (Mix of Psionic Melee and Mind Control)

- Savage Apprehension (Mix of Savage Melee and Plant Control)

I'm pretty sure they dont.

 

They have Dark, Psychic, Electricity and Power Mastery last I saw, unless something got added recently I may have missed?

Flame Mastery was added to Corruptors/Defenders, possibly by the Homecoming Team. You should try to get a Corruptor/Defender to Level 35 and check the Epic Pool list to see if I'm right about Flame Mastery existing or not.

Here's what I had; using powers that already exist and ones that specifically compliment the powersets each archetype can access.

No idea? The only thing this menu does is execute commands that should be disabled for normal users on any non-testserver.

 

Those do not interact with your character in any other way than XP, Influence and putting Enhancements in your inventory.

I meant "what about power color and animation customizations saved on the Justin server?"

Uhm disabled how? The commands that the menu uses shouldn't work on the regular server, unless maybe you have a GM/Dev account there.

 

I don't think there's an easy way to disable the menu itself, since it is a rather "dumb" command. Basically, don't create a macro for it on the regular servers and you should be golden. (If you share bindings and power set ups on both Justin and regular servers, try not to save the Justin side of things)

What about power color and animation customizations saved on the Justin server?

[Freebies Popmenu - Give yourself levels, inf, and enhancements]

Can you please make it where this command is disabled on the actual Homecoming server?
