If you Hover-tank Marauder, he just stands around throwing a rock at you for almost no damage.

While I agree, I don’t believe the Captain would ever give us anything like this.

Perhaps someone like this is telling them these things. Tyrannical’s “Wild Kingdom” “Today we witness Brute Mains in their natural habitat; the 'pls buff' thread. They are extremely territorial creatures that distrust one another, and are prone to hostility at the slightest provocation, often fighting over mere scraps of logic that are precious sustenance for their arguments. In the event that one 'Alpha' Brute Main challenges another, a battle will ensue for several posts as a fight for domination. This fight can last for days and often there is no clear victor, and both Alphas retreat to their lair to lick their wounds ready for the next pointless spat when a new thread is inevitably created. Brute Mains can easily be stunned if they are presented with an ultimatum; play actual challenging content. This paralyzing attack on their ego is enough to leave them confused and often they back away from such a challenge, afraid to surrender their position. It is rare for a Brute Main to coexist with other players, as their need to be the apex predator encourages them to attack Tankers and Scrappers on sight, thinking them as unwelcome competition in their game. Defenders and Controllers are easy prey for these beasts, driving them out of their teams and into the wilds. It is also rare to see a Brute Main domesticated, as their abandonment of sensibility only deters other players from adopting them into their pack, fearing that they will continue to bitch and whine even when they are presented with small buffs to their performance, and often feigning death cries when they are needed to be nerfed. So remember, if you see a Brute Main in the wild, it's best to leave it well alone, and hope that it doesn't drag you into one of it's inane arguments.”

Add the T1 to the chain and then see how it flows. Kinetic Melee is one of those sets that actually makes use of the it.

To be clear, I believe that GB’s ideas would make a perfect template to expand upon.

Solarverse made a sound addon that sounds a lot like MCU magic. I am going to keep using that until I have to drop it when Kinetic Melee (eventually) receives a balance pass.

Likely because the set was 💩 when it launched and even after it was fixed, you just never got around to it.😁 My reason was that I was waiting for it to port over to Tankers (which is a discussion for another thread, so derail over).

That is pretty close to one of Galaxy Brain’s ideas of it granting the first stack permanently and then adding more when triggered. Perhaps something like these are the Power Siphon way to go.

A Sabastian Shaw concept. That would be a really fun and different idea to work out.

Going down the road to anything resembling a Rage penalty is madness. Let’s not entertain that.

That one is a no from me on removing Repulsing Torrent. On Tankers (and Brutes played as such), that power is really good ranged aggro control which also can be converted into Knockdown. GB’s idea of making it more hard hitting would be a better option. I do like your Siphon Momentum idea, so let’s get rid of Concentrated Strike (since it’s completely redundant) and make this a worthy T9 instead.

It’s simple. You need one for your full AT set.

Energy Aura. Since it’s not likely to port over to Tankers anytime soon, A Brute is the way to play a similar version of the set.

Might as well begin with reference points.

This is the thread that you’re looking for.

This. Work on costumes and such in Pocket D until the badge drops. While I would rather stop breathing than give up IOs, you’re exactly the type of player that I thought of for that new system when I tested it. I am glad that it worked out for you.😁

This and I am very glad that we have a Freebies menu on test to help easily facilitate it.

It’s a pity Hera didn’t join us for Apex/Tin Mage. I was looking forward to some possible color commentary there.🤣

Now, that’s an idea that I can get behind.

Excellent. I just got back to Paragon after the holiday break and didn’t want to miss another month.

That’s correct. You only receive the Morality point when you are the player making the choice. Auto-correct, mission failure, tagging along in a team are all exempt from that and if you’re do receive any Morality point for any of those circumstances, definitely report it.

It grants you a Hero/Vigilante point based on your choice, so yes, it can help affect your alignment if you choose to continue to the Morality mission in that system. I am hoping that we see a lot more of these types of Morality options going forward.

Failing the mission defaults to the Vigilante choice outcome, for which they definitely give you guff. Perhaps there should be a slightly different dialogue chain that kicks in if you fail instead of making the conscious choice to endanger the city.

Can you be a bit more specific?

You might not want to give him any ideas.🤣
