[Splitting Sets]

I had the 12% bonus five times, 10% bonus five times, 8% bonus five times.  I think you get the picture.  No recharge buff, no defense buff but as much regen as a /regen scrapper, but on a tanks hit points.  It was shockingly effective.

 

Impressive idea.  Why not slot the 12% regen 15 times?

[Splitting Sets]

I've seen some videos where people split a set across two skills... say 3 pieces in two skills for a total of 6 pieces.

 

When you do this, do you get two 3 piece bonuses, or the full 6 piece bonus?

Shield Offense
"You have mastered using a shield as a weapon, and not just a defensive tool. Shield Offense provides a variety of tricky melee attacks with a few ranged options. Many Shield Offense attacks grant stacks of Best Defense. Each stack of this buffs grants a small defensive buff. Best Defense can be maintained, or it can be consumed to empower certain attacks." (Shield Charge from Shield Defense will also grant stacks of Best Defense, and engaging foes with activated toggle powers from Shield Defense has a small chance of generating stacks of Best Defense) (Same power exclusion as Shield Defense)

+ Shield Bash (minor melee smashing + knockdown)
+ Shield Slash (moderate melee lethal + knockback)
+ Shield Throw (ranged smashing + disorient)
+ Hunker Down (self buff)
+ Spinning Shield (high melee AoE lethal)
+ Hit Me! (Taunt)
+ Resonating Shield (moderate melee AoE smashing + reduce resistance)
+ Clang! (light ranged smashing + stun)
+ Bouncing Shield (Superior ranged AoE smashing/lethal + knockdown/disorient)

 

Probably wants some punches and kicks in there.  Maybe a combo move.

 

But yeah, definitely want to do the frisbee thing.

An Astrophysics themed power set might be cool... 

 

• drop a temporary singularity that collects enemies and crushes them
• quantum tunneling as a short range teleport
• graviton nova - pushback
• throw a singularity that drags enemies away from you and collects them as it flies along its path
• graviton fist - force bolt
• static field - arcs to random enemies around you
• superposition - projects clones or decoys of you
• pulsar - drops a mini neutron star that spins and beams everything around it with EM damage
• kuiper event - drop a comet on someone you don't like

 

This would be sort of a hybrid combat and crowd control set ... others would like you clustering bad guys for their AOE attacks.

 

A Flying set maybe? - set built around enabling you to effectively fight mobs while in flying mode

 

• strafe - you fly by blasting a line with smg fire
• claw - grab a target, lift and drop it on others, causing smash damage to everyone
• slice - fly through enemies doing lethal damage to everyone in a line
• whirlwind - circle enemies, taunting and debuffing to-hit for a while
• divebomb - crash down from high delivering a blastwave on landing
