Add -range to Confront

[Jaguaratron]

This would add some value to an almost worthless power by making it a gap closer

The whole Presence pool could use some work.  Unrelenting is pretty nice, but you are basically wasting 2 picks to get it.

Confront has -75% range. It's pretty useful if you want to hovertank STF Recluse.

Whether you *need* to, in this day and age of unlimited power, is another question...

[Caulderone]

Hmm.  For some reason my mind assumed Provoke instead of Confront.

 

Yeah, Confront and Taunt both have -range already.

[Haijinx]

suggestion granted!

Adding -Range to Confront (like the other Taunt powers have) would be good.

 

But I think the biggest two problems the Presence Pool has are:

 

1.  There are only 4 Power Pool picks in a toon build and many good support powers are in several different pools, easily 7 (Fighting, Leadership, Jumping, Speed, Teleportation, Concealment, Sorcery) or more.  It's hard for most characters to reserve one for Presence unless just going for a concept that will include it.

 

2.  Once past #1, there are only 24 Power picks in a toon build.  Primary and Secondary powersets will almost always have 12 or more, as well as other important powers from the other Power Pools.

 

In short, the Presence Pool doesn't quite stand out enough to normally compete for the 4 Pools and 24 Power picks in most builds.  And from what I know of the back end encoding builds, I don't expect this to change any time soon.
