Ok, but if we’re really being honest, even THAT use was an unnecessary novelty that only applies when everything has gone wrong already. Now you are giving your team debuffs resistance and debuffing the enemies to make fights a little faster so that catastrophic situation shouldn’t be happening to begin with.

Add more def. You should be soft capped.

You can still do that with Repulsion Field.

If the whole point is to make it more efficient to get Accolades just ask for them to be added to P2W. Is there any other reason for this?

You can use this power to absorb alpha strikes for your team. It's not tanking, but it's something. With the other powers in the set, you can use your Bubbles, put up Dispersion and Dampening, lead off with your Force Bomb, and then hit this to avoid retaliation while your teammates attack, with all your buffs still on them. Then after controls and aggro are established you drop the force field and join in the attack. But I and others have made suggestions of how to make it better, still it was left alone in the recent update. Hopefully it will get another look in the future.

I'm in the mission "Defeat all Council agents" from Stephanie Peebles in Striga Isle. Sometimes when the Zenith Mech Men (the only mobs in the mission) shoot at me, their laser blast appears to come from the wrong direction, that is not from THEM but from somewhere else. I don't know if this happens in any other mission.

You might have more luck on the Homecoming Discord. https://discord.gg/cityofheroes

Do these proc whenever the Tornado or Lightning Storm attacks, or only on summon?

Love my base. My RL buddies and I have all our toons together in our private SG. The base is perfect for sharing resources and even just hanging out sometimes.

Kheldians already get an advantage with their inherent travel: IT'S INHERENT. Meaning, you don't have to spend a power pick or a pool pick, and you get the (Travel) powers earlier than otherwise available. True, the Teleport Target, Shadow Slip, Hover, etc, stuff doesn't come earlier than for others but you still get those without a pool pick.

Obviously, put it wherever works well for YOU, but don't tell people Hide is a poor place to put it. It's a fine place to put it.

What I’m telling you is it literally makes no difference.

Nothing wrong with putting it in hide. If you’re escorting someone you ought to be turning hide back on as soon as you are attacked.

Tree Blast

On a Broadsword/Shield Stalker, using a Sheathed Barbarian Sword, I find that if I perform an Assassin's Slash (from Hidden) when I did not already have my sword drawn, that after the attack is performed my character does the draw animation a second time. It looks very awkward. In addition, the bug occurs whether the attack Hits or not. EDIT: The above was on Live. I also checked on the Cryptic server and I am getting the same bug, with both Sheathed and standard swords.

Multiple builds will let you switch archetypes on one character.

Battle Axe's new toy. Meteor. There are probably at least a couple others.

Correct me if I’m wrong, vectored knock HAS been implemented, just not retroactively for older sets, I think.

Ok, true, but the penalty makes it useless for this purpose. Having a toggle on your bar would allow you to CONTROL your Knockback SHOT PER SHOT. Now although there MAY be a legit argument about slotting efficiency, there is no legit argument that says it would be OP to have a powerset that can choose when to KB and when to KD.

What's actually possible absolutely matters.

Well that’s dumb, that’s not my suggestion. a toggle on your bar, so you can switch ANYTIME

No it is not. A toggle means you can change from one Fight to the next, or even during a fight. Builds can only be changed at the trainer.

If Energize is nearly perma you shouldn't have too much in the way of end issues. If it's not then yea there could be a problem. Energy Drain can benefit from slotting for Endurance Modification so it'll fill you up even off of just one enemy.

Thanks, that was very clear. That makes sense. I’ll think about that if I come up with a new design.

Why? Those people who only want it in a couple powers can do that with the current options. People who want it to go away but have more than 6 such powers cannot. This is for those characters.
