Even Mind doms don't really use mesmerize unless leveling, or they need to put an av down for a bit because they screwed up while soloing. Dunno why we keep insisting on filling sets with sleep.

Storm blast is like the only set they made that's actually a banger. Seismic is the one to make fun of.

Wishlist aside from upping power values dramatically: 1: Cryo at tier 1. 2: Mega buffs for smoke cann - there is no universe this power ever matches seeds in potency, you can really afford to super buff it without worrying about it, seriously. 3: Kill cloaking device for an aoe immob.

They already were there. Even kheldians are better sentinels than sentinels!

Should definitely allow FU+build up, but I'd like to see enhancable poisons and see if it at least somewhat helps keep runners from getting too far.

The more I play with night widow, the more I really want some manner of dealing with runners. Because ya know, for fort I can basically just obliterate runners with dominate, gloom and the two nukes (aura + wail), widow, I have gloom, then it's up to hoping they line up for a psyscream. Enhancable slows seem like an easy win for the widow attacks, but I'm not entirely sure it would actually solve the runner problem. Still, something should be done to alleviate the issue.

I guess now's the time to ask: can earth mast abilities that require feet touching the ground be updated to work while hovering near the ground?

With the council being reworked, trapdoor as a benchmark method is going to effectively die. Let's put it out with a bang, let's see the wildest, most cheaty times we possibly can get out of it before it's gone. Temps, insps, anything goes, I might even pay the best time by it going live, who's down?

Apologies for the double post, but I think this needs to be highlighted. Is this not the perfect example of how outrageous the way epic pool stats are calculated is? 3-10 min cds on powers like tar patch and dark consumption is absolutely outrageous, and this whole change to soul drain essentially screams that it's working around the formula, when the approach to how epic powers are created should simply be revised.

Dominator dark mastery is a great pool potentially, though there is a bit of a problem with tar patch's base CD being 3 minutes. Let's be honest, these CDs get bloody outrageous after a point and make otherwise desirable powers not worth the time of day. Slash the CD on tar patch and a few of the other obvious "WTF" examples of epic recharge scaling.

It's made fun of by the people who do it, I don't know how else they expected this to go lmao

Worst of both worlds, too weak to be a spot heal, with neutered +max hp helps nobody.

@macskull just don't think people should waste feedback thread real estate responding to such an outrageous claim. Say no and move on, eh?

Then they should have made the bane beam aoes actually good. Anim cuts are nice, but the scale changes aren't terribly game-changing. Plus, they still have the knock tax, on a character that's essentially a skirmisher - blast before jumping in. It'd be far better if they had a low mag knock that could be enhanced to KB, but KDs by default rather than the other way around. Too stubborn with the wrong things.

It was for a reason, but the reasoning didn't make sense, so it should just be added.

It wasn't, and it still isn't. Not worth debating this further.

I agree, but I'd rather have spirit drain than some overnerfed clone of soul drain that follows a broken formula that produces bad powers. Ideally? They just bring back pre-patch soul drain and leave it alone.

These guys are a proper threat now, I'm a fan.

I really don't like Galaxy Archons. They won't slow teams at all, but are ultra tedious to deal with solo, still. Focus them? They full heal via rez. Ignore them? They slap you around and use their friend's bodies to heal to full, and then you deal with a rez. Needs to be better counterplay besides getting lucky with a knock before they get a chance to heal, between the massive resists, heal and self rez, actual bother to deal with on +4, but for all the wrong reasons. As for the rest? I actually really like them, the galaxys are just annoying, but the bosses are a bit OTT.

Almost forgot: There's still no reason, lore or otherwise, for banes to not be able to fire frags from their deathstick. 1: It already fires web grenades, the space age beatstick can probably fire other variants like most grenade launchers do. 2: The player character is essentially a rogue agent, standard issue for NPC banes doesn't really apply to someone who can have all sorts of reasons to justify a difference in weaponry. How many bane spiders pull out a submachine gun and full auto your whole team?

Arguably a nerf at the top end, and corruptors ate a slight -res hit. Either way, the idea we can't give qol to sets that aren't bottom feeders is a bad one.

Frostwork -should- be better for pugging or solo mms now as a sort of 'save your ass' power, though on the higher end, I definitely prefer it with max HP for slapping on a tank that otherwise can't get it. Storm blast buffs are great, cell actually operates how I said it should have from the start, very notable impact now. Two kheld things I want to make sure didn't get missed: Was peacebringer fixed? They get this too, and I cannot make a quick test char till tonight. Make sure quantum maneuvers got this, too.

Hear me out: If you turn that black hole power into a vacuum like axe cyclone instead of a clone of the worst intangible power in the game: this pool will be really fun. Good proof of concept for dark miasma, if it works well enough.

I'd say soldiers are definitely more support orientated than widows, while both have leadership and team buffs, soldiers offer a pretty sizable amount of -res and other such debuffs, where widows really are more of a dps with some control.

This set has potential with gravity and dark control, I'm eager to give those combos a go a bit later.
