Things is I don't think female pets are gonna happen without pet customization, too much potential to mess with existing character concepts that could hinge on all the pets being male.

Pfft, no. They're not gonna let you get aethers by AE farming.

The Force of Justice badge should just grant heroes Sheer Willpower directly, instead of being just one of the badges. It's already an accolade with no power, and it's the heroside equivalent of a villain accolade that does grant a power.

Science says they could! A song is just a soundwave with a particular pattern. A different song has a different soundwave with a different pattern. If you combine the two songs, you get just one soundwave! One mouth, one soundwave, two songs! Could a singer perform such a feat? A superhuman one, perhaps. While not typically performed by a lone singer, combining multiple different melodies into one is a real thing in the world of music called a polyphonic texture. For a real life example of this technique in use, check out the end of Disney's "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto, where all the various singers sing their part of the song all at once.

All human experience leaves impressions on the well as it accumulates the collective potential of humanity. These mobs, fought in great battles by champions of humanity, leave their own impressions as well. By using your character's connection to the Well of Furies, you can draw out these impressions temporarily to fight by your side.

All versions of this power on other ATs accept Range enhancements, but the version in Stalkers' Ninjitsu set will not.

Better just add the +End effects to Sha, then, that seems fair to me

Nope

Explaining the reasoning behind changes is probably just going to change the feedback from “tell us why you did this” to “here’s why you’re wrong to do this.”

No, but that's because of design choice on ATOs, not any limitations on the IO system.

No, it's totally possible. Archetype enhancements include a check for a character's archetype in order to slot them, and if you somehow give yourself another AT's powers with dev commands or something, you still can't slot another AT's ATOs in those powers.

If you want to fight Freakshow 40+, there’s only one Hero tip mission where they show up, versus three missions where you fight them if you pick the Vigilante options, so you don’t have to be that upstanding and moral.

Energy Manipulation synergizes with everything. You cannot choose a bad primary to go with it.

I don't see the issue. Having to wait the extra 10 seconds to drop out of combat on top of the longer activation of the slow snipes just makes that slow snipe all the sweeter!

More like, "Leaving the alts alone? Why (would you want to do that)?"

Ice Blast can use everything in Intuition Radial except Defense Debuff. Combine it with a debuffing set and you're golden.

Not necessarily. Brutes at high Fury already outdamage Scrappers, but Scrappers' criticals make up for it. The criticals would still make up for it even if Brutes had the higher non-crit damage while running Build Up as well.

Seems kinda overdesigned. Why not just make the damage buff from Build Up scale with Fury?

Boring is fine with me. As far as trying to give Brutes more identity, I don't think a weaker version of the Force Feedback proc (as you've outlined it) is gonna do it.

What if it was just made into a damage proc? Both of the ranged damage-primary classes have a damage proc ATO, but none of the melee damage ATs do. Just keep it simple, you know?

Kheldian armor toggles do, when Shapeshifted.
