arkieboy72472 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I was making a character as an homage to a show my kids and I like, Avatar the last air bender and I wanted to make a master earthbender. I tried an earth sonic controller but it just didn’t sit right besides the power liquify. At least there was an earth mastery. So I figure I would try an earth earth dom. I don’t need some of the powers like the sleep or the mud pots yet so I get high enough and I look at the dominator epics (I dislike the patrons and they don’t fit theme) and no earth. Is there a way to make more epics for the sets so that there are more options? The standard power picks seem to be equal through out...you get a shield and some extra stuff. what are the chances ever of earth for earth doms and some more choices? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemystic Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) So far there are only 2 Ancillary powersets yet to be proliferated to their partnered archetypes, and that's Munitions Mastery for Masterminds and Stone Mastery for Dominators. I think Munitions Mastery could work on Masterminds with minimal changes, maybe something like this; - Body Armor - Cryo Freeze Ray - Flamethrower (from Assault Rifle) - LMR Missile - Fortification (From Arachnos Soldier) As for Stone Mastery? There are few earth powers that Doms don't already have access to, so perhaps this; - Ash Fall (Talons of Vengeance power) - Fault - Rock Armor - Rooted - Earth's Embrace I had a few ideas to post in my 'Power Recycling' thread in regards to creating completely new Ancillary Powersets though, I could post them here if you prefer 😃 Edited February 8, 2020 by Tyrannical 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemystic Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Here's what I had; using powers that already exist and ones that specifically compliment the powersets each archetype can access. I purposely avoided making Electric or Dark themed powersets because I feel as though Mu and Soul already accomplish that well enough. I tried to make it so that each AT has around 7 different options to pick from. Blaster / Mastermind Mind Mastery - Dominate / - Mass Hypnosis/Mind Probe - Mind Over Body - Indomitable Will / - Telekinesis/World of Confusion Ninjitsu Mastery - Paralyzing Dart - Flashing Steel / - Divine Avalanche/Kuji-In Sha - Kuji-In Rin - Soaring Dragon Controller / Dominator Plant Mastery - Bark Skin (Rename of Stone Skin) / - Thorny Darts/Corrosive Enzymes - Lunge - Wild Fortress / - Thorn Barrage/Spore Cloud Kinetic Mastery / - Focused Burst/Transfusion - Energy Drain - Kinetic Shield / - Smashing Blow/Siphon Power - Entropic Aura Defender / Corruptor Frost Mastery - Chilblain - Flash Freeze - Frozen Armor - Freezing Touch - Hoarfrost Fiery Mastery - Ring of Fire - Bonfire - Fire Shield - Incinerate - Rise of the Phoenix Radioactive Mastery - Electron Shackles - Radiation Siphon - Alpha Barrier - Positron Cell - Radiation Therapy Scrapper / Stalker Toxin Mastery - Paralytic Poison - Bile Spray - Envenom - Spore Burst - Weaken Illusion Mastery - Blind - Spectral Wounds - World of Confusion - Mental Training - Flash Trap Mastery - Web Grenade - Oil Slick - Smoke Grenade - Trip Mine - Poison Trap Tanker / Brute Gravity Mastery - Crush - Gravity Distortion - Lift - Propel - Wormhole Will Mastery - Mezmerize - Dominate - Levitate - Mass Hypnosis - Telekinesis Radiation Mastery - Electron Shackles - Positron Cell - X-Ray Beam - Electron Haze - EM Pulse Sentinel Atomic Mastery - Electron Shackles - Radiation Siphon - Positron Cell - Irradiated Ground - EM Pulse Edited February 8, 2020 by Tyrannical 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiyajinzoningen Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 try KM/Stone melee for a decent earthbending experience Its easy to criticize a suggestion but can you suggest an alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemystic Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Slight thread necro here but I had some other concepts I wanted to dump here rather than justify making a whole new thread for it; Blaster / Mastermind Street Mastery - High Pain Tolerance - Spit Fire - Molotov Cocktail / - Oil Slick/Strength of Will - Fire Bomb Controller / Dominator Cosmic Mastery / - X-Ray Beam/Ground Zero - Neutron Bomb - Radioactive Smash - Alpha Barrier - Radiation Therapy Defender / Corruptor Bio Mastery - DNA Siphon - Toxins - Hardened Carapace - Genetic Corruption - Parasitic Aura Scrapper / Stalker Rime Mastery - Chilblain - Block of Ice - Ice Blast - Shiver - Ice Storm Tanker / Brute Nature Mastery - Entangle - Thorny Darts - Thorn Barrage - Strangler - Spore Cloud Sentinel Momentum Mastery - Crush - Repulsing Torrent - Lift - Burst - Siphon Speed Edited January 18, 2020 by Tyrannical 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyGene Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I would also like to see the scrapper/stalker's Weapon and Darkness Mastery pools be proliferated to brutes and tankers and the brute/tanker's Arctic Mastery pool be proliferated to scrappers and stalkers.

Flame Mastery was added to Corruptors/Defenders, possibly by the Homecoming Team. You should try to get a Corruptor/Defender to Level 35 and check the Epic Pool list to see if I'm right about Flame Mastery existing or not.

I totally missed that. Seems like Defenders/Corruptors are the only ones with a new Ancillary Powerset so I don't risk looking too much like a fool at least Edited January 27, 2020 by Tyrannical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why 'Rime Mastery' is identical to Arctic Mastery, melee archetypes share everything in ancillary sets besides the name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemystic Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Probably the last lot I can think of that involves using (mostly) existing powers! Enjoy Blaster / Mastermind Atom Mastery - Lingering Radiation - Electron Bonds (AoE Version of Electron Shackles) - Alpha Barrier - Meltdown - EM Pulse Controller / Dominator Martial Mastery / - Shuriken Throw/Throw Sand - Reaction Time / - Trick Shot/Burst of Speed - Inner Will - Elude Defender / Corruptor Health Mastery - Reconstruction - Quick Recovery - Dull Pain - Revive - Moment of Glory Scrapper / Stalker SCAR Mastery - SCAR Burst - SCAR Snipe - Targeting Drone - SCAR Heavy Burst - Surveillance Tanker / Brute Weaponry Mastery - Throwing Dagger - Paralyzing Dart - Caltrops - Exploding Shuriken - Poison Trap Sentinel Rifle Mastery - Sleep Grenade - Pummel - Cryo Freeze Ray - Ignite - Surveillance Edited February 7, 2020 by Tyrannical 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyGene Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I don't think it's fair that Corruptors, Defenders, Scrappers, Sentinels, and Stalkers can choose either Dark/Darkness Mastery or Soul Mastery as their dark-themed epic pool while all the other non-epic archetypes are stuck with having Soul Mastery as their only choice of dark-themed epic pool, so here are some ancillary dark-themed pools that I came up with as suggestions: Blaster / Mastermind Shadow Mastery / - Fade/Umbral Torrent - Heart of Darkness - Dark Embrace / - Darkest Night/Tenebrous Tentacles - Soul Transfer Controller / Dominator Darkness Mastery / - Dark Blast/Fade - Umbral Torrent - Dark Embrace - Soul Transfer - Dark Consumption Tanker / Brute Nether Mastery - Torrent - Petrifying Gaze - Dark Blast - Night Fall - Tenebrous Tentacles Edited February 6, 2020 by EarlyGene 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemystic Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I like them! I was initially avoiding doing Dark or Electric since Soul and Mu exist, but you did a pretty good job at making them stand out! Any ideas for Electric themed sets for Controller/Dominator and the Melee Archetpes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Also, I LOVE the idea of a SCAR mastery which would let melee classes have some legit firearm powers (I mean just because my guy's supposed to specialize in his CQC doesn't mean he's helpless at a range) also, I would suggest maybe Bayonet for the Sentinel Rifle mastery be switched for Pummel since the animation and concept is more universally applicable to assault rifle models. It already bugs me a little that Arachnos soldiers' default weapons include at least two which lack a bayonet (also that one of the models is a shotgun but Arachnos soldiers get no shotgun powers) Edited February 6, 2020 by Sakura Tenshi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communistpenguin Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 While I would love a pet on some of my characters, i think that is going a bridge too far. Pets are typically a signature power of the class the come from, not a gap filling power like APPs are supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communistpenguin Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 1) Incarnate stuff are OP by design, and generally more damage focused 2) patron power pets are generally not the same as MM/controller/Dom pets. they are much more damage focused than sing/Jack A blaster with singularity would be crazy. Sing could absorb the alpha strike, the blaster could then unleash their crashless nuke, while sing tanks and holds any left over from the blasters alpha while the blaster mopped up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
