Weekly Discussion 65: Build Your Own Powerset Suggestions

[GM Miss]

This information was way too much for one spoiler in our thread. So I'm posting our weekly findings here and will link it to the suggestion thread that is pinned.

Full fledged Power Sets:

 

Mastermind Primary

 

Praetorian Police Squad @Megawatt

  Reveal hidden contents

 

The Thin line between order and Chaos, the few, the proud of the Praetorian Police department are here to serve and you have the honor of leading a small number of them. FOR PRAETORIA!

T1 - Force Gauntlet (Bolt): a single charged shot fired from your force gauntlet - its not enough to put a rebel down but it may keep them off you long enough for backup to arrive (Basic blast, maybe a KB)

T2 - Summon Trooper: Activate an emergency beacon to call in 1-to-3 PPD Troopers, they have your back. (i dont know if there could be a third like Pyro or not, maybe trooper 3 is a surpressor with a couple of force cage like stuns ?)

T3 - Force Gauntlet (Burst): rapid fire tripple shot from your Force Gauntlets (Energy blast so possibly a stagger or KB chance?)

T4 - Threat Escalation Protocols: Authorizes your squad to escalate to more agressive methods, its really too bad the hostiles didnt surrender when they had a chance (standard upgrade, probably just adds attacks and such)

T5 - Force Gauntlet (Cage): some times the best way to handle a threat is to lock it down while you focus on more pressing matters. (works as a Stun or Hold)

T6 - Summon Justicar(s): when the going gets tough Justicar's can be called in to provide heavier backup, Useful for strike breaking or door breaching (Summons two Justicars)

T7 - Flash and Clear: Some times the enemy comes in overwhelming numbers, thankfully you are equipped for that - employing your force Gauntlet on overload to create a bright flash and concussion to stun enemies in an area around to allow you and your squad to work.

T8 - Summon Sargent: this officer is the one that's really in charge of the squad, or so the old wisdom goes, Sergent's come equipped with the best equipment among the unit includeing a few extra tricks that may not technically be regulation. (equivalent of a commando obviously)

T9 - Extreme Measures: some times the odds are against you and there's dangerous work to do, thats when you authorize extreme measures, going weapons free with lethal options (including possibly force grenades and other fun toys)
 

 

 

Malta Cell @Megawatt

  Reveal hidden contents

 

T1 - Burst:  Short. controled. Bursts! not those wild trigger pulls some folks prefer

T2 - Summon TacOps: Call in a black helicopter or SUV loaded with the offensive side of your cell (calls in 1-to-3 Malta TacOps)

T3 - Marksman Shot: a single well aimed shot is usually all thats needed to bring down a normal foe, let's hope this one at least hurts the meta (a single damageing shot, give it the sniper annimations but it doesnt have to BE a sniper shot)

T4 - Go Loud:  The time for subtlety is at an end, it's go loud or go home (basic upgrade)

T5 - Shock Net: For when you dont wish to kill the Meta or their supporter but bring htem in for questioning you can deploy your launcher to do so (limited stun or similar, maybe with the electrical control cage effect for the duration)

T6 - Summon Operations Unit: Heavy support can be had in the form of the Operations unit, consisting of the often seen Operations Engineer....and the rarely seen Operations Gunner. (Ops engineer maybe with out the turret but with a shotgun and some Debuff ability, give the gunner a big backpack and a heavy minigun )

T7 - Sapper Grenade: What do Meta's hate the most ? thats right a sapper gun.....yours may not actually be a full sapper gun but you have an experimental underslung sapper module to introduce them to the concept. (an AOE sapper attack - give this to actual malta too it will be hilarious!))

         Alternate T7- Suppressing Fire: Hose down an area with bullets to keep the enemies heads down (Minimal damage but holds or stuns or fears enemies in the targeted area.)

T8 - Summon Gunslinger: He's got spurrs that jingle jangle jingle and he's here to kick Metahuman behind at your command

T9 - Thermopylae Protocol:  Thanks to advances in technology you can remotely activate the nanite enhancements in your cells equipment, now it's an even playing field. (i am not sure what all this would do upgrade wise though i'd love to see the OPs Gunners heavy machine gun turn into a Railgun and the Gunslinger get laser pistols or somthing)

Knights @ZorkNemesis

  Reveal hidden contents

 

The ranged powers in this set involve a two-handed crossbow, and would be available for at least recoloring via tailor.  Said crossbow is used by many foes already, such as Luddies, CoT Guides, and Warrior Earth/Battle Maiden.  Note that this isn't a bow compatible with Trick Arrow, so be careful of redraws.

 

T1: Crossbow - You fire a shot from your crossbow.  Deals minor lethal damage but reloads quick.  Damage: Minor, Recharge: Fast

 

T2: Call Squires - You summon up to three squires to aid you in battle.  These knights in training aren't too powerful but their armor and training make them competent fighters in melee.

-Squires wear leather armor and have minor resistance to Smashing and Lethal damage.  The melee Squires also gain Melee defense and further S/L thanks to having a shield with the second upgrade.  Squires are also resistant to Taunt and Placate effects

-The first Squire wields a shortsword and does lethal damage with his attacks

--Base attacks: Hack and Slash, First upgrade grants Slice, Second upgrade grants Deflection (a Shield) as well as Headsplitter, his sword is upgraded from a shortsword to a longsword

-The second Squire wields a cudgel and deals smashing damage

--Base attacks: Bash and Pulverize, First upgrade adds Crowd Control (the mace attack), second upgrade adds a Deflection and Shatter and his cudgel is upgraded to a war mace

-The third Squire is an Archer.  He will remain at range and attack with a longbow instead of melee weapons, but can Brawl enemies that get too close.

--Base attacks: Snapshot and Aimed Shot, First upgrade adds Blazing Arrow and a weaker version of Aim, second upgrade adds Fistful of Arrows and Stunning Shot

 

T3: Steady Shot - You take aim with your crossbow and strike at a vital area on your foe.  This attack deals more damage than Crossbow and has a small chance to knock them down.  Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Moderate

 

T4: Train Knights - By providing additional training to your knights, you can permanently increase their effectiveness in combat.  Descriptions of upgrades are with the pets themselves.

 

T5: Explosive Crossbow - Your crossbow bolt is fitted with a payload that explodes on impact.  This attack deals moderate damage to all targets in range and can knock them back.  Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Long

-The animation for this can easily be pulled from Luddite Crusaders or the Maria Jenkins version of Battle Maiden

 

T6: Call Knights - You summon up to two Knights to aid you in battle.  These knights are fierce melee combatants who also strive to protect their charges.  They bring to the battle a strong blade and a strong shield, granting defense to their fellow Knights pets. 

-Knights are fitted with chainmail, granting them more resistance to S/L than the Squires.  They also come with a shield granting them defense to Melee.  With the first upgrade they gain Grant Cover to provide additional defense to nearby Knights pets, much like Thugs Enforcers.  They are also resistant to Fear, Taunt, and Placate

-The first Knight wields a longsword and deals lethal damage

--Base Attacks: Hack, Slash, Slice.  First upgrade grants Throwing Knives, Parry and Grant Cover, second upgrade grants Battle Agility (extra ranged defense), Disembowl and Whirling Sword

T7: Crusade - You champion your cause and empower your knights.  For a short while, any of your pets in Supremacy range will receive an additional damage, to-hit, and resistance bonus to all damage.  They will also receive protection from most status effects.  Recharge: Very Long

-This power probably needs something to make it less generic

 

T8: Call Champion - You summon a Champion to assist you in battle.  The Champion is a noble and honorable warrior who has faced many opponents in battle.  He also seeks to protect those who are loyal to him as well as the ones he is loyal to and will frequently draw attention to himself rather than allow his foes to attack those weaker than him.

-The Champion is equipped with Plate Armor, granting him even more resistance to S/L damage.  He also has considerable combat experience giving him some extra resistance to Cold and Toxic damage.  He wields a Titan Weapon in lieu of a one-handed weapon and shield.  He will Taunt opponents whenever he can, forcing their attention on himself.  He has minor resistance to all status effects and extra resistance to Fear, Confuse, Taunt, Placate, and minimal resistance to Knockback, but stronger KB effects will still cause him to fall.

--Base Attacks: Taunt, Defensive Sweep, Crushing Blow.  First upgrade gives him Dull Pain, Follow Through, and Titan Sweep, second upgrade grants Rise to the Challenge (Willpower aura with a taunt effect), Whirling Smash and Arc of Destruction

 

T9: Upgrade Knights - Additional training and equipment can turn the tide of battle.  This ability will permanently upgrade your Knights with new powers and equipment.

When upgraded, these Clones can even conceal themselves and deliver critical hits from stealth, and make use one of your initial secondary powers. You can only have two Duplicates under your control at any given time, if you attempt to create more Duplicates, you can only replace the ones you have lost in battle. If you already have two, the power will fail.

Tier 2 Powers: Heavy Blow, Ambushing Blow, Placate

Tier 3 Powers: Surprise Attack, Hide, Power 1 from Secondary Powerset (higher Recharge/End cost)

You create a number of Mimicries. These Mimicries cannot be commanded like normal henchmen, nor will they appear in your pet window. you must select an enemy target to attack before activating Outnumber. The Mimicries are plentiful, but they are also weak, and are incapable of further copying themselves. Because of this, Mimicries can only use their fists to overwhelm your foe.

Powers: Brawl, Boxing, Kick or Initial Strike

 

Create Perfect Copy: Summon one Perfect Copy

Summons one powerful Perfect Copy. The Perfect Copy is completely identical to you, and can mimic many of your secondary powers. In addition, it aids in coordinating your other duplicates as if it were a mastermind itself, giving a boost to your inherent 'Supremacy' power. You can only have one Perfect Copy under your control at any given time, if you attempt to create more Perfect copies, you can only replace one you have lost in battle. If you already have one, the power will fail.

Tier 1 Powers: Flanking Strike, Power 1 from Secondary Powerset (higher Recharge/End cost), Unity (+Def nearby other Pets, +Res Psionics, Taunt, Placate, Confuse, Perception Debuff)

Tier 2 Powers: Ambushing Blow, Power 2/3 from Secondary Powerset (higher Recharge/End cost)

Battle Tactics @Barneysaurus 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

As a master of the battle field, you come with both preparations and presence.

Unique mechanic: Battle presence. As you continue to make tactical calls, any allies near your will gain confidence, boosting their courage.

This toughens them up and gives them greater endurance. (Stacking Passive PBAoE: +resistance, +max endurance with each recent Battlecry)

 

1. Coordinate fire!

3. Toughen up!

Ranged, ally +resistance +max Hp,+absorb Battlecry

You target an ally that may be weakening, and give them a commanding shout. Your presence and encouragement will instill them with vitality, causing them to be able to withstand much more punishment for a while.

4. Defibrillator

You are prepared for the worst- when an ally goes down, you have an advanced device at hand to get them quickly back on their feat, and back into the battle!

5. Hold Your Ground!

PBAoE Location, -KB, +Satus protection, +regeneration +endurance Battlecry

You shout the order the take the ground on which you stand. The area where you stand is marked, and all who rally there will be given a surge of endurance, will be more difficult to manipulate, and will recover from their wounds faster.

9. Last Stand

Location toggle (timed) +resistance +Absorb +Recovery +revive(AoE) +AoE Heal per resurrect  Battlecry

You make a final stand....all nearby allies will have greatly increased resistance to enemies' attacks, able to absorb far more damage, and will fight on tirelessly. Any fallen allies nearby will be revive, and any of the suddenly arisen allies' presence will give you and all nearby allies a burst of vigor and health. This will remain active for a time, but you and your allies will only be able to fight on for so long. Choose when and where to make your final stand carefully!

 

Comment: This would be the natural style support set. While there are some armaments involved, most of the set is meant to use your character's presence and experience, choosing the right moment to pivot any battle with the right calls.

 

Natural pairings:

Mercenaries/Thugs (MM)

Tech Control @Mainframe

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Wire Grenade (T1): Immobilize, does some S/L damage, jams up Flight. Standard web grenade FX, maybe colored grey/metallic.

 

Mega Taser (T2): Hold, Energy Damage DoT. Fires a short stream of lightning into the target, the Hold FX is the 'twitch in place' animation, maybe with some sparks coming off.

 

Sonic Disruptor (T3): Cone AoE Disorient, Smashing/Energy damage, small -Damage Resistance. Uses the Howl Sonic attack FX to weaken enemies.

 

Defense Drones (T4): PBAoE Toggle, Tiny Energy Damage, +Defense. Deploys 2 of the small 'targetting drones' that float around the Controller, which fire small lasers at enemies that get too close. Grants a bonus to Defense (particularly Ranged Defense).

 

Command Override (T5): Targetted AoE Confuse, affecting only Robots.  fires a small drone (or possibly psychic mind zap?) into the targetted area, which then Confuses all Robots, causing them to turn on their allies.  Maybe add a weak disorient or something to it for non-Robot enemies.

Smoke Bomb (T6): Targetted AoE.  has a chance to proc Confuse, Disorient, and Hold on enemies in the AoE.  Guaranteed to apply a small To Hit Debuff.  using the Venom Grenade FX.

Flamethrower (T7): Cone AoE Fear and Fire dmg DoT.  ideally the FX involves them catching fire and running around screaming.

Combat Drone (T8):  deploys a drone that attacks enemies.  Basically the Gun Drone from the Blaster Device Secondary.  Lower damage obviously.

Build the Robots (T9): the real standout power, Build the Robots plays the 'upgrading your robots' animation from Bots Masterminds on the Controller, which then replaces their appearance with that of a large mech suit (Minimum FX options available if you want to use your existing mech suit).  It acts as a Toggle, granting BIG buffs to damage and Resistance to the Controller, but at the cost of reduced speed.  The Toggle would be of the 'on for 1 minute, off for 4' variety, so that Controllers can't use it constantly, but can deploy their super suit when needed.

Toggle : Self +Absorb +Special Foe -Recharge -Damage (Absorb values are increased if you use Regression)

Tier 9 : Temporal Discharge : You discharge temporal energies around you causing anomaly around reality.
Click PBAOE. Foe Chance to Hold, Disorient,Confusion,Terrorize, Slow. Self. +Def +Recovery +Regen. +Special (Everything is increased if it is done in Temporal Patch)

 

 

Psionic Armor @Puma

  Reveal hidden contents

 

This would a psy based armor set designed around keeping not just yourself, but the entire team alive. It offers less direct personal projection than other sets in exchange for more "team" protection. 

Tier 1: Telekinetic Aura: A resistance toggle to Smashing/Lethal/Psy
 

Tier 2: Pyrokinetic Shielding: A Resistance toggle to /Fire/Cold

Tier 3: Precognition: A Defense toggle to Energy/Neg/Toxic/AoE

Tier 4: Mental Fortitude: a status affect toggle that also offers strong def debuff resistance and moderate psy resistance.  

 

Tier 5: Brain Drain: A PBAoE power  where you briefly stun nearby foes and drain their endurance, increasing your own endurance and regeneration.  The more enemies in range, the more endurance and regeneration you'll gain, but the weaker the strength of the stun.  So in a mob, you get lots of end and regeneration but just stun the minions. In a small group less end/regen but stun the luits. One on one even a boss could be stunned.  (Foe -end, stun, self +HP/Regen)

Tier 6: Feedback loop:  You create a psychic feedback loop with either an ally or an enemy. It's a toggle tic over time.  If connected with an ally, you transfer your own hit points from yourself to the ally, healing them and slightly buffing their damage output (Ally heal, +DMG, self Damage over time);  If looped with an enemy, you drain HP from the enemy, lowering their maximum HP, to buff your own. It would reach its maximum potential on an enemy after 20 seconds and your boosted HP will last for 1 minute after the loop is ended (Foe -max HP, self +Max HP. ) 

Tier 7: Psionic Field:  A telekinetic field that gives you a nice Absorb layer while active. 

Tier 8: Astral Projection: You send out a psychic clone of yourself at a targeted location which draws aggro until it's defeated. Its attacks do no damage but will draw aggro onto itself, essentially doubling your aggro cap briefly and helping take incoming enemy damage from the team.  When it is defeated it releases a psychic burst of energy that does minor psychic damage to nearby foes and slows their recharge time.   

Tier 9: Psychic Empowerment:  You unleash your full psychic potential, surrounding yourself in a psionic bubble that gives resistance to all damage, +tohit, and heal over time to all teammates within range, and adds additional psychic damage to your own attacks. Like old school tier 9s this would have a long recharge and probably leave you exhausted.  

 

 

Density Alteration @Laenan

  Reveal hidden contents

 

You are able to alter your body's density, either increasing or decreasing it, and otherwise using your altered weight and mass to your advantage.

Tier 1: Increased Volume: Your powers have increased your max HP and slightly increase your resistance to damage. (Max HP+ 10%, Resist All +5%)
Tier 2: High Density: (Toggle, High End Cost, +Resist(All))Your greatly increase the density of your body, gaining resistance to all damage types, and becoming virtually immune to knockback. However you will be so dense you will be unable to fly. This power will suppress while intangible and cannot be active at the same time as Low Density. (End Cost: .52/sec, Resist 30% (all), 30 points of knockback protection, self -fly 1000%)
Tier 3: Specific Gravity: (Toggle, AoE Slow, -Recharge OR AoE chance for stun) By greatly shifting your own mass, you create a small gravity well around you that will decrease the speed and recharge of nearby foes while in high density mode, or will have a chance to stun nearby foes in low density mode. (Mag 2 stun, 25% chance, Mag 3 vs mechanical enemies, 3 second duration, (End Cost: .33/sec)
Tier 4: Low Density: (Toggle: High End Cost, +Defense (All)) You lower your density allowing you to move more quickly to avoid more attacks. While active you also gain access to Intangibilty. (Intangibility- click power clone of the power pool set power, including cooldown and duration) This power cannot be active at the same time as High Density. (End cost: .52/sec, +12.5% def (all))
Tier 5: Pressure Equalization: (Auto: Protection against hold, sleep, stun, confuse, and immobilize effects, self minor healing when density changes) Regardless of your Density, you have become resistant to hold, sleep, stun, confuse, and immobilize effects. Additionally, when you shift from high density to low density mode, you will heal a small amount of hit points if you hadn't shifted recently. (1% self heal on activating either high density or low density toggle, 10 second cooldown.
Tier 6: High Buoyancy: (Self: Flight, increase max flight speed, +Defense(All), increased flight control, Low Density mode must be active) While in low density mode, your mass is low enough to fly with great control. (Defense(all) +1.88%, end cost .28/sec)
Tier 7: Mass Conservation (self Heal) You take a moment to realign your body's mass and heal restore some of your own hit points. (Recharge: 120 seconds)
Tier 8: Cannonball: (self teleport+ aoe damage + knockdown or stun (mag 3, mag 6 on machines only) You leap into the air, then into a group of enemies. While in high Density mode, this attack deals high damage and will knockdown foes that it strikes. While in low density mode, this attack deals moderate damage and has a chance to stun. The stun is more effective against robotic enemies as your low density form will disrupt their circuitry. (Animation could vary based on high vs low density mode if possible, high density would leave a brief impact crater like foot stomp, low density would be great if you briefly disappeared under the ground before popping back up)
Tier 9: Combat Phasing: (Click: self: chance for intangible when attacked) While this power is active you will automatically phase through some of your opponents' attacks, quickly altering your density back and forth. (Self: All attacks that would have hit you have a 25% chance to instead miss you. [When the effect triggers, Phased! will appear above your head] Duration: 30 seconds. Recharge: 180 seconds)

You also gain access to all three tier 5 powers (these are unslottable variants that pop up in an extra power tray). 10% tohit buff, 15% run/fly/jump speed, +25% max fly/run/jump speed, +jump control, 15% recharge buff. This power also increases the damage of Flurry by 25%, and reduces the endurance cost of Jaunt, Super Speed and whirlwind by 50%.

 

Tier 8: Kinetic Divergence - you can siphon speed from your foes to aid yourself and allies healing you and providing an absorb shield and a recharge boost.

2% recharge buff 20 hp heal and 60 absorb shield per foe hit, max targets 10, PBAOE 30 ft, Hitting Bosses, elite bosses and AVs double these effects. Foes get -33% recharge for 20 seconds and -20% regen.

Tier 9: Super Luminary Outburst - you run around a target location so fast that you surpass the speed of light. Enemy targets in a 30ft radius of the center location have their tohit debuffed heavily and you transform into a being of pure energy. This form grants your attacks extra energy damage equal to 25% of the attacks damage. While transformed you gain 25% defense and 50% resistance to all damage. This transformation lasts for 45 seconds. Enemies hit by the tohit debuff effect have -45% tohit for 10 seconds (target cap for debuff is 50). While transformed you gain an 600 hp absorb shield if you have phase master or gain 75% regen buff if you have velocity master. If you have neither phase or velocity master, attacks deal an extra 100% damage instead of 25%. When this power wears off you lose 50 endurance (25 endurance if you have velocity master) and phase out for 15 seconds (5 seconds if you have phase master). Recharge 6 minutes.

Acid Armor @Greycat

  Reveal hidden contents

 

So what should Acid armor be?
- Resist based. I just dont' see Acid giving a defense of any sort, really. Though it may affect tohit.
- Damage enhancing. Probably Toxic.
- Weakness would *likely* be cold.
- AOE based. Yes, an AOE damage toggle - but I could also see this creating an area for team resists (the enemy gets too close, acid in the air affects their ability to fight as well,) *potentially* defense (same reason,) and/or enemy -tohit.
- Buffing regeneration. Since, after all, whatever caused you to have this acidic armor probably doesn't want you dying of it. Or maybe it's just your body's reaction.

 

Considering:
- The set builds off and reinforces itself, not just by having more armor, but in a fashion similar to how the Fighting pool's attacks are more effective if you have more of them.
- Having a heal that also gives a damage buff. You're healing yourself with an odd acid, it should have other odd effects. Or maybe it just *hurts* and punching something harder makes you feel better. I'm not judging.

- Should probably work up an acid melee with a lingering DOT to go with it.

Potential workup:

T1: Ooze.
Passive S/L/Toxic. (Gets folded into first armor toggle for stalkers.)

T2: Acerbic aura
Active S/L/Toxic/fire? toggle.

T3: Sulfrous Succor
Passive +regen.

T4: Corrosive Cloud
PBAOE damage aura - toxic/?. Slight boost to T1 when taken. Adds KB protection to T1. (Or just add here.)

T5: Boiling blood
Self-heal. Slight dmg boost. (Possibly where to put status protection?) Boosts T2 when taken.

T6:+Recovery. Adds chance to stun to Corrosive Cloud. (Adds other resists to T2? Or just put them here?)
T7:Acid puddle
PBAOE placed acid puddle. DOT. Boosts T3 when obtained. Yes, I was tempted to call this "dropped acid."

T8:
... all right, I don't know. Something nifty, hopefully.

T9: Vaporous...
PBAOE toggle. Team +Def/+Res and/or enemy -tohit. Boosts Corrosive Cloud

 

Barrier Defense @Galaxy Brain

  Reveal hidden contents

 

A High-Tech Force Field, Defensive Runes that project a field vs attacks, or a second skin that formed via a mutation, you are able to conjure an incredibly tough Barrier around yourself for protection!

 

Barrier Defense aims to fill a thematic defensive niche where your character is able to shrug off damage thanks to attacks hitting a personal barrier instead of themselves, and rely mainly on a high amount of (Temp HP) to survive, along with some offensive tools.

 

1.) Power Barrier:

Basic armor toggle, grants you a refreshing absorb amount that does not decay, but will hit a cap of 50% after some time. The idea is that by letting it build to 50% you can have impressive defense vs alphas, but then repeated hits will start to sting. The refreshing ticks help negate this somewhat but requires time to build up to actual shielding.

Toggle, 5% Absorb per tick (3 s), Max Absorb = 50% (Un-enhanceable)

 

2.) Activate Shields:

Emergency Click Power. Perma out of the box, Activate Shields gets you an instant amount of shielding as well as boosts your Absorb Cap temporarily, this does not stack but cutting the recharge down allows you to rapidly replenish shielding and keep your max shields higher.

Click, 30% Absorb for 60s. 60s base Recharge. +25% Max Absorb (Un-enhanceable)

 

3.) Base Shielding:

Your character has a passive layer of shielding on themselves. This grants a small amount of defense, as well as increased Max HP and a boost to Healing/Absorb. Sort of a basic passive.

Passive, 2.5% Def vs All but PSY, +10% Max Hp, +10% Healing/Absorb Enhancement 

 

4.) Advanced Filter:

Mez Protection Toggle. Adds a bit extra absorb per Tick like with Power Barrier, but also grants a substantial bonus to resistance vs Debuff Effects (Slow, End Drain, Defense, etc) as long as you have any active Absorption.

If the game cannot recognize X amount of Absorb being active or not, then this can be changed to have more generic resists.

Toggle, 1% Absorb per tick (3 s),  Special: 50% res vs (Debuffs) while Absorb is active [If impossible, can be 25~30%]

 

5.) Reflection:

Your shielding reacts to incoming attacks and can even reflect damage back at attackers! While active, incoming attacks (they do not have to hit) can trigger a special "Reflection" attack that acts like a chain-attack that spawns from you onto a random nearby enemy. This attack is comparable to a T1 Blast and has a 20% chance to occur. Also grants some defense to the player, with more defense gained if you have shielding currently. This is a unique take on a damage aura where you actually get a sort of free, random ranged attack within a short radius (20ft?). Will hit individually much harder than a damage aura but lack true AoE. 

Toggle, 7.5% Def vs All while shielded, 3.75% otherwise [5% if impossible]. 20% chance to trigger special Reflection Attack when attacked. High End Cost

 

6.) Adaptive Barrier:

You can adapt to the situation at hand based on the amount of Shielding you currently have. When you have a layer of Absorption, gain HP Regen and Damage Resistance (All). If your shields are down, gain Recharge Rate and Movement Speed. The idea here is that you have bolstered shielding and breathing room to heal, or you have an "oh crap" moment when shields are down to get Activate Shields / etc back faster or to re-position. If we cannot get the absorb check to work, this could work like the Radiation Armor power that scales on HP?

Passive, 10% Damage Resistance, 75% Regeneration / 30% Recharge, 50% Move Speed

 

7.) Amplify Shielding:

You can concentrate and give yourself a great boost to both Healing/Absorption Enhancement as well as Endurance Reduction for some time.

Click, 50% Heal/Absorb Boost, 50% Endurance Discount for 30s. 120s Recharge.

 

8.) Nova Shield

You can turn the tides of battle and sacrifice your barrier in a violent explosion of energy! This is a PBAoE attack that will affect up to 10 targets in a 15ft radius for Smashing/Energy damage and have a 50% chance to cause knockdown. The damage of this power varies greatly based on the amount of Absorb you had upon activation, the more Absorb the higher the base damage of the attack! This will apply a -1000% Absorb though, stripping you of all shielding immediately.

Click, Special PBAoE damage. 50% chance to KD, very long Recharge (6 min). Very low end cost and very fast activation speed

 

9.) Maximum Barrier:

You can immobilize yourself and push your shielding to the max, rapidly building up power as you gain a massive layer of Absorption! This works similarly to Hibernate as you are locked in place and cannot use other powers while you toggle this on, and gain a huge layer of Shielding. This shield lasts for quite some time, and can directly feed into Nova Shield and in general make you very durable every so often.

Special Toggle, 20% Absorb per tick (10s Max), Max Absorb = +200%, Duration = 1.5m, Recharge = 10m

7: Focused Burst - (Available at Level 18) - You unleashed a burst of focused power at the foe. Focused Burst deals High Energy/Smashing damage, reduce the foe's attack power, and can possibly knock down your foe. Focused Burst grants you 1 charge of Kinetic Charge when at 2 or less. Focused Burst will consume all stacks of Kinetic Charge if you have 3, but the power's damage will not only increase in strength, but will also have a better chance of knockdown. Damage: High (Energy/Smashing), Recharge: Moderate (10s), Activation Time: 1.67s, Damage Buff: -10% (Target for 10s), Knockdown: (Mag 0.67) to Target (100% if at Kinetic Charge Level 3)

Dual GunBlade @ Zepp

Alright, I was in the other recent Assault suggestion, and I was thinking about how handedness would make it difficult to do a left-handed sword and a right-handed pistol (having the sword in the right makes porting single-handed attacks much easier, and pistol attacks could be ported from dual pistols (although it may look silly with a sword pointing upward in one hand). Then I thought about the Wilkes - South Seas Expedition... they used pistol swords in their skirmishes with Fijians. So I thought, we have dual blade, we have dual pistol... why not do both at the same time. We could start off with using the Diamondback as a stand-in (with a rotated version ported as a sword skin. If it worked out well, more skins could be added either based on current weapons or newly made.

What would it look like though? Dual Blades, Dual Pistols, Devices

Tier 1:  Shuriken Throw - throw three shurikens dealing minor lethal damage.  Recharge very fast.

Tier 2:  Kunai Throw - throw a single kunai dealing moderate lethal damage.  Recharge fast.

Tier 3:  Explosive Shuriken - throw a large shuriken at a targeted foe that explodes and hits all nearby enemies dealing moderate lethal damage.  Recharge slow.

Tier 4:  Acid Blade - Throw a blade coated in acid dealing minor toxic damage.  After the blade hits you gain a moderate to-hit and damage bonus for a short time.  Recharge moderate.

Tier 5:  Caltrops - throw a handful of caltrops to a targeted location causing any foe passing through it to be slowed and receive minor lethal damage over time.  Recharge slow.

Tier 6:  Dual Kunai Throw - throw a kunai from each hand dealing high lethal damage.  Recharge moderate.

Tier 7:  Trick Shot - Bounce a thrown shuriken between multiple targets dealing moderate lethal damage and knocking foes down.  Recharge slow.

Tier 8:  Masterful Throw - Take careful aim and throw an extremely accurate, extremely forceful blade dealing extreme lethal damage.

Tier 9:  Blade Storm - Spin around rapidly throwing blades around you dealing extreme lethal damage and knocking foes down and increasing your own defense for a short time. Recharge long.

 

Commentary:

 

Recharge times, animations, target caps, and damage values would be in line with what is typical for most blast sets.

 

Blade Storm - would basically be a hail of bullets port using thrown weapons instead and i think it would thematically fit a thrown weapons set better than other nuke types.  The cool down, damage value, animation time would be similar to hail of bullets.

 

The real winner of the set and unique element would be acid blade. This will function similar to blinding feint from dual blades and follow up from claws as an Aim replacement. Like the two aforementioned powers, the bonuses would have to be smaller than Aim, but with high recharge they would be able to stack for a more consistent damage bonus.  Damage value, recharge time, and animation time would be similar to blinding feint and follow up. The power itself would also be fully toxic damage.  I think this would be a unique addition to blast sets that currently isn’t available.  Having a nice consistent damage bonus would also be nice to offset the more resisted damage type (lethal).

 

Wand Blast @Aberant

 

Illusory Combat @Puma

  Reveal hidden contents

 

You manipulate light, creating complex and convincing illusions, blinding and confusing your foes, and even healing yourself.  You can focus your illusions  offensively, or defensively.  Offensive illusions will have a chance to deal additional "illusory damage" that is so convincing foes will truly suffer damage, but the wounds will heal over time if the enemy is not defeated.  Defensive illusions will have a chance to instill brief fear in your enemies as you attack.  You can only switch the focus of your illusions when not in combat.  Certain powers help your illusions become more potent, and the more potent your illusions are, the stronger the effects of your focus.  

 

Tier 1: Spectral trap:  Foe Immob/Moderate Psychic damage over time.  You convince a foe they are being wounded with each step they take, locking them in place and inflicting psychic damage.  Builds one stack of potency.

Tier 2: Blind:  Foe hold/Moderate energy damage. You painfully blind a single foe, rendering them helpless and inflicting damage. Builds one stack of potency. 

Tier 3:  Illuminate: Self +dmg, +tohit, Grants 3 stacks of potency. You gather the light from around you, making your attacks appear even more powerful.  The damage of your next few attacks is increased greatly, as is your chance tohit. 

Tier 4: Master of illusions:   Self +Stealth, +def (all), +special.  You are able to bend and focus light around you, making you virtually undetectable except in very close range, and also harder to hit once detected. You will be detected if you attack. Even if detected, you will retain some of your defense.  This ability also grants you the ability to focus your illusions, choosing to use them offensively to boost your own attacks or defensively to weaken your foes. Grants the Offensive and Defensive focus modes.   

Tier 5:  Deceptive Flare: Targeted AoE, Moderate dmg smashing/psychic, for Knock down.  You channel your illusions tightly, making them appear to erupt from the very earth around your target, blasting all foes within radius and having a chance of knocking them off their feet.  (This is basically Solar Flare from Khelds)  This power consumes all stacks of potency, and the amount of damage it will deal is increased with each stack consumed.

 

Tier 6: Light Therapy:  click Self +Res Status Affect (all), moderate heal, +Endurance.  You use the power of light to energize yourself, heal your wounds, and even free your mind from the influence of others.  When you click this power you heal yourself of damage and gain a moderate boost to Recovery for 2 minutes.  If activated when under the control of any status affect power, you trade half of that healing and recovery boost for strong status affect protection for two minutes. 

Tier 7: Kaleidoscope (or alternately, Vertigo):  Single target Stun (vomit emote)/High psychic damage.  You trap a single enemy in a kaleidoscope of light, rendering them so dizzy they become sick and unable to attack you momentarily, and dealing psychic damage.  This affect has a slight chance to spread the dizziness to up to two nearby enemies, causing them to momentarily become ill as well.    This power builds one stack of potency if the user has less than 3 stacks. If they have three stacks the duration and magnitude of the illness, and its chance to spread are increased by 50% and all stacks are consumed.  

Tier 8:  Abject Terror:  You create a cloud of illusions at a targeted location so horrific it instantly terrorizes enemies within range, and leaves their chance to hit and attack speed diminished.  This power grants one stack of potency. AoE Foe Terrorize, -tohit, -recharge speed.

Tier 9: Radiant Explosion:  Melee AoE Superior dmg, Foe KD.  You strike a foe with a burst of light and sound from your first so powerful, the target is knocked to the ground and suffers superior energy damage. The illusion is so effective that nearby foes will also be knocked down and both they and the primary target will suffer illusory psychic damage over time.  Radiant Explosion consumes all stacks of Focus.  The strength of  this illusory damage will increase with each stack of focus consumed.  

 

 

Toxic Blast @Barneysaurus 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

1. Toxic burst

Ranged, Light damage, (Toxic) -Damage

You blast your foes with a quick burst of toxins. This quick blast has a minor lingering poison, weakening the damage of any affected foe.

2. Venomous stream

Ranged, High DoT, (Toxic) -Damage

You fire a thin stream of venomous liquid at your enemy, doing damage over time, and weakening the damage of your target

3. Contagion

Targeted AoE, High DoT (Toxic) -Damage +chance to spread

You fire a small targeted AoE of virulent chemical at a foe. Any nearby foes have a chance to pass along the chemical contagion. All foes poisoned by these chemicals will slowly take toxic damage over time, and while under these effects will do less damage.

4. Toxic Fumes

Location AoE, minor Dot (toxic) chance of +hold (Mag 1)

You breath out a cloud of noxious fumes, filling a small area in a lingering haze of toxins. Foes with weaker constitutions will have a chance of choking helplessly on the fumes, while slowly being poisoned.

5. Condensed Toxins

self +special+empowered toxins

While active, you receive a minor +special effect. While active, all -damage, -resistance, the duration of any DoT, and the contamination chance of all toxic blast powers will be boosted.

6. Acid Blast

Ranged, Very High DoT, (Toxic) -Resistance

You fire a burst of powerful acid at a foe, burning them with toxic chemicals, and eating away at any protection they may be wearing.

7. Parasitic tendril

Ranged, Moderate Dot (Toxic) +Regeneration

You extend a tether of parasitic mucous that poisons your enemy while siphoning its health back to you, causing your health to regenerate as the foe weakens

8. Acid Rain

Location AoE,  High Dot (toxic) -resistance

You call down a shower of burning acid. Any enemies caught in the acrid downpour will be poisoned, and any protection they may have will begin to burn away.

9. Total Contamination

Location AoE, Extreme DoT (toxic) -damage, chance of +hold (Mag 2)+chance to spread

A geyser of virulent toxins bursts forth, leaving a giant pool of deadly contaminants. Any foes caught in it, or passing through it will be assaulted with hazardous gases and liquids. Some may choke on the toxins, while those who make it through the deadly hazard may still spread the pestilence to any they come in contact with.

 

 Commentary: While we have many debuff blast sets as well as DoT sets, this set would completely specialize in lingering and weakening effects. It would sacrifice much up-front damage and conventional aim for the ability to do slightly more damage but empower all the toxic properties of its toxins, even enhancing effects that could otherwise not be strengthened.

Hellfire Assault/Melee @Tyrannical

Infernal Assault @Zepp

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Based on discussions about porting Whip, I thought I would flesh out what Infernal Assault (A Secondary Powerset for Doms) would actually look like. I went through and examined all current assault sets, did an analysis of what appears within the sets, and then used Demon Summoning, Fiery Melee, and Fire Manipulation as the basis for the available powers. The six attacks that were considered core were to be the whip and fire sword attacks.

 

So, this is my proposed set, with no new powers.

 

Corruption    1    Ranged, Minor DMG(Fire), Foe DoT(Toxic), -Res
Fire Sword    2    Melee, Moderate Damage(Fire/Lethal)
Lash    4    Close, High DMG(Fire), Foe -Res, Knockdown, Minor DoT(Toxic)
Crack Whip    10    Short Ranged (Cone), High DMG(Fire), Foe -Res, Knockdown, DoT(Toxic)
Envenomed Blades    16    Self +Toxic Damage on all attacks
Cauterizing Aura    20    Toggle: Point Blank Area of Effect, Minor Damage over Time(Fire), Self +Heal over Time, +Recovery
Fire Sword Circle    28    Point Blank Area of Effect Melee, Moderate Damage(Fire/Lethal)
Hell on Earth    35    Ranged, Pet +Dmg, +To Hit, Summon Living Hellfire *[see comments]
Greater Fire Sword    38    Melee, Superior Damage(Fire/Lethal)
 

Possible changes I would like to see:

Consider changing lash to an immobilize and crack whip to a stun [more appropriate for the powers]

Consider changing Fire in Sword, change fire in attack titles to Hellfire, also replacing the Fire DoT with -res and Fire/Tox DoT [bring in line with whip]

Consider changing Envenomed Blades, change name to Hellfire's Wrath, change Tox damage to a Fire/Tox DoT [more interesting and thematic]

Consider changing Cauterizing Aura, change name to Fueling Flames, and changing Fire DoT to Fire/Tox DoT [bring in line with the set]

Consider changing Hell on Earth, change name to Summon Hellfire, change from enchant pet to close targeted AoE (patch) with Fire/Tox DoT [Make functional for the set

Thank you @GM Missfor hosting the discussion! I know it probably wasn't easy considering it needed its own separate thread to archive it!
