Minimal effects option for armor (i.e. Rock Armor from the Earth Mastery pool) in Epic Pools is not available as it is in Primary/Secondary sets? I was there day one on Live and it has been great having the game back these last few years. You all do an amazing job with it. This is by no means a complaint. Rather, it is an inquiry into whether this is purposeful, a developmental oversight, malfunctioning code, etc. Thanks for all you do! Rock On!

Thanks for the feedback. My son and I debated on where this should go. We could not decide whether it should be reported as a bug (since other epics do seem to work the way primary/secondary do) or as suggestions as you pointed out. In the end, I reported it here and he reported it over there. Either way, we knew it wasn't an emergency. However, if the devs don't know about things, they can't do anything about them.

Can we get the minimal effects option for armor (i.e. Rock Armor from the Earth Mastery pool) in Epic Pools the same as in Primary/Secondary sets? I know this is not a major issue but if it is something that is relatively easy to fix it would be a welcomed addition. I was there day one on Live and it has been great having the game back these last few years. You all do an amazing with it. This is by no means a complaint. Rather, it is an inquiry into whether this is a developmental oversight or a limitation of the game. Thanks for all you do! Rock On!

Too bad intelligence is not buffable. And REALLY too bad that Spectral Terror can't fear jerks.

I know this thread is old but I just can't help myself. This is for anyone, like me, who finds this post late while looking for something else or exactly this. Sounds to me like you just have a skill issue. I have an Ill/Kin troller who solos +4/X8 w/AVs, to include incarnate content, and it is not even my MAIN toon. You just don't understand how to use/slot the primary/secondary sets and/or choose/slot power pools to fill the gaps. I have Perma PA and perma Spectral Terror. Spectral Terror, properly slotted, is amazing crowd control, which my tanks comment on frequently. However, they do complain about the noise. Deceive, properly slotted, is awesome for alternating with Blind to CC mobs missed by Flash. Now before you cry "but you don't get exp from mobs killed by deceived mobs", if you are not able to kill mobs quickly enough it is not an issue with the power, again, that is an issue with skill. When mobs are Blind, Feared, or better, fighting for you, they are not attacking you, so being in PBAoE range means nothing for the BRIEF moment I have to be there. Since Phantasm does KB, KB to KD is essential to keeping the mobs from being scattered. With SB and ID (Kin), and Spirit Ward and Enflame (Sorcery) on my Phantasm, FS enables him to mow down mobs pretty well while I keep the CCs up and Transfusion going. I have no problem getting my Phantasm in range of FS and Transfusion with my play style. I just move so fast that he is IN the mob before he knows it. I am able to put teams in God Mode with endless END, amazing RECH, and Perma Fulcrum Shift. FS is regularly X2 with my build so we are always >/= Dmg Cap. And I am always able to make Ill/Kin "carry its own weight". I even take up the slack lesser skilled team mates that show up on PUGs sometimes. Just b/c some power set combos may require more thought and skill does not make them inferior to ones that we may start our kids out playing with b/c they are easier to learn and use.
