    I do remember that avatar, but I don’t remember them being a particularly prolific poster.

    I’m all for making the shared powers between Thugs and Dual Pistols also share animation options.

    Well, you could maybe move the Kinetic Combat slots from Boxing to Shocking Grasp, then find two more slots from somewhere else and put a couple +5’d Unbreakable Contraints in there. No Lockdown Proc that way, but with how fast SG recharges the hold proc is pretty unreliable anyway.

    Power Sink is indeed pretty useless in the world of Blaster sustains. Unless you want a Sapper build, then it's invaluable. Thunder Strike is skippable; it will probably get buffed to be faster some day, but until that day, yeah, it's very slow, and the AoE knockback is pretty annoying. Shocking Grasp is quite nice, IMO. Slotted up it can easily permahold a boss, and let you get in some sweet hits with Charged Brawl and Havoc Punch at minor risk. Plus, as an electric attack it fits the theme with the Lockdown proc's graphics.

    I'd get hella bored with a power set that has only one attack animation.

    Thank you, I hope so too. 👍

    Okay, I'll be a little more direct. I'm not looking for advice. You're wasting your time.

    What Why would you roll an Empathy character if you expect MMO teammates to act smart

    Man, I know all the tricks. I come here before you, a veteran user of the tricks, and I say to you: more range on the rez is just better.

    The patron pools were designed to be "stronger" pools than the hero epic pools from the beginning, so no surprise LBE is weaker than a t1 blast in a patron pool. What is weird is that Laser Beam Eyes in Body Mastery is stronger than Laser Beam Eyes in Energy Mastery, whereas with patron pools it's the Scrappers and Stalkers with the weaker, faster-recharging ranged attacks. Really shows you how scattershot the design in APPs is.

    I've been playing a Nature Affinity character lately, and that 45-foot range that Rebirth gets is amazing. Not having to venture into the instant-death zone to revive someone that got splattered is a revelation. Since Resurrect does nothing besides get the target back on their feet, unlike all the other primary/secondary rezzes in the game, how about giving it more range, too? And maybe reduce the recharge, too.

    The alignment system isn't the reason red and gold zones go largely unused.

    But the whole point of the VEAT storyline is that they're not destined ones.

    APPs are practically designed to recycle powers. I can see why a developer might drag their feet on putting together entire primaries and secondaries based on reused powers, because it can come off as lazy, but reusing powers for APPs has been the whole idea since their inception. Which is why it's so frustrating that we've gotten new APPs like three times in the whole lifetime of CoH, despite how easy it should be to add them!

    I was thinking they would use the laser blasts from Paragon PD Hard Suits and Guardians, Laser Spray and Laser Burst, for the gadgetry attacks. Force Netting would be good for Nano Net though.
  16. Vanden
    I think the PPD stuff would work better as a set of APPs.

    I'm not entirely sure having them as an alternative reward for high-merit activities could work; right now they exist as a way to take inf out of the economy and help curb inflation. You can use merits to make inf, but it's by buying things like converters and selling them on the market, which also removes inf from the economy. Someone with a better grasp of economics would have to chime in.

    Give characters a free Heroes & Villains or Rogues & Vigilantes super pack alongside the following badges: The Really Hard Way Master of Magisterium Master of Keyes Island Fabricator Field Crafter Partner Overpowered I tried to pick time-consuming badges that couldn't be AFKed so players who want to get lots of packs don't just create alt after alt to earn free packs.

    Sounds like you've never heard the phrase, "Don't s*** where you eat."

    I’m over here knocking over entire spawns with Shockwave, so I can only assume this is user error.
  21. Vanden
    Tyrannical, you should get into demo editing, it's a pretty easy way to make proof-of-concepts for how powers would look in the hands of players. And I would know!
  22. Vanden
    The power is probably coded to ignore pets so a single Mastermind teammate doesn’t max out the bonus.
  23. Vanden
    Most of the time that "flavor" comes at the cost of performance. Combat Readiness in Street Justice is strictly inferior to Build Up, for example, so the set's just better on Stalkers. Same story with Power Siphon in Kinetic Melee, which functions at odds with the cast time on the strongest powers in the set.
  24. Vanden
    That's the opposite of liquidating
  25. Vanden
    Shiver is the stronger power, but as you said Snow Storm unlocks powers in Cold Mastery you actually want.
