Weekly Discussion 67 Suggestions: Epic Pool Powers

[GM Miss]

This information was way too much for one spoiler in our thread, so just like our build your own powerset post - I'm posting our weekly findings here and will link it to the suggestion thread that is pinned. 

 

*Note most of these were copied directly from players - so please excuse the spelling errors. 😄

 

Here is a link to the forum thread for the weekly discussion

 

Here is a link on EPP proliferation, enjoy!

 

Popular Ideas Without Extra Info:

• More proliferation of already existing EPP's
• More Physical/Weapon types for non melee classes
• Kheldian EPP's
• Whip Mastery
• Clown Summoning
• Shapeshifting (Use forms already existing in the game - Squid, armors, etc)

Nature’s Wrath by @Si1verg1ass

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Thorn Bolt: Single Target Ranged, Moderate DMG (Lethal/Toxic)

End Cost: 10.2, Recharge: 8 seconds, Range: 60, Cast: 1.13 seconds, To-Hit: -10% (Tgt), Resistance: -15%

Description: Thorn Bolt does moderate lethal damage to a single foe then poisons them with a moderate toxic damage over time. This poison eats into them reducing their to-hit and resistance.

Animation: I was thinking the animation from the Widow’s Lunge attack might work well for this, though this is longer ranged than that attack.

 

Nature’s Embrace: Self Rez, Absorb, Recovery, Regeneration

Recharge: 240 seconds, Duration: 30 seconds, Cast: 1.25 seconds, HP: 35.13% (Self), Recovery: 150% (Self), Regeneration: 250% (Self)

Description: You call upon nature’s powers to heal you in your time of direst need. Pulling power from all the life around you which raises you to full health,  give you an absorb boost, increase your recovery by 1.5 times and your regeneration rate by 2.5 times for the next 30 seconds.

Animation: I was thinking the animation from Earth Embrace would work, replacing the cycling rocks with leaves.  

 

Thorn Barrage: Cone Moderate DMG (Lethal/Toxic)

End Cost: 13.1, Recharge: 16 seconds, Range: 40, Arc: 45 Degrees (8 targets max) , Cast: 2.13 seconds, Defense: -10% (Tgt), Damage: -15%

Description: Thorn Barrage does light lethal to foes in a cone in front of you then poisons them with a moderate toxic damage over time. This poison also reduces their defense and damage potential as it weakens the target.

Animation: I was thinking the animation from the Widow’s Dart Burst would serve this, maybe w/ a trail of leaves following the darts for a couple of seconds.

 

Shell of Bark: Self +Absorb, +Res(Lethal, Cold, Smash, Toxic), Special

End Cost: 19, Recharge: 200 seconds, Duration: 60 seconds (special), Cast: 0.75 seconds, HP: 50.45% (Self)

Description: Your skin becomes bark-like, very resistant (like +25%) to damage from Cold, Lethal, Smash and Toxic) and gains a large Absorb ability. The resistance and absorb last for 60 seconds or until the absorb amount is exceeded at which point the protective properties of the bark shell are ablated away. This one doesn't last as long as similar powers, it is resistance based and it can be destroyed even before  the duration runs out.

Animation: I was thinking the animation from the Rock Armor, but reskinned to appear more wooden than rocky.

 

Field of Brambles: Ranged (Location AoE), Minor DoT(Lethal/Toxic), Foe: -Defense, -SPD

End Cost: 17.8, Recharge: 100 seconds, Range: 60, Radius: 30 (20 targets max) , Cast: 2.13 seconds, Defense: -20% (Tgt), Speed (Run, Jump, Fly): -50%

Description: Causes thorny brush to spring into existence at the chosen location. The thorns pierce your enemies inflicting lethal damage as well as poisoning them. It also catches at them slowing their movement and not allowing them to defend themselves as well.

Animation: I was thinking the animation from Roots, but the effect on the targets more like Time Manipulation’s Distortion Field.

1.    Summon Mercenary
Using your connections, you can summon a mercenary to do your bidding (Malta Tactical Operative).
2.    R and D Prototype Armor
(Toggle Armor) Your organization has developed or purchased a prototype armor for use in Supers-based combat.  Grant Defense to Smashing/ Lethal/ Fire.
3.    Propaganda
(Melee PBAOE) You have become very persuasive as a leader and as an opponent.  Any enemies who hear your words are affected with morale loss causing a small psychic dot as well as a small amount of -res.
4.    Inspired Leadership
Many people are invested in you as a leader. It is not just you who inspire your people, they inspire you too.  You won’t let them down.  Even if you are knocked down in battle you can get up again with 1/3 health and 1/3 endurance and a full set of active large inspirations
5.    Summon Heavy 
You make the call.  Heavy firepower is delivered to your location.   (Zeus Class Titan)

An alternate version of this might summon actual mastermind style pets, replace tactical operative with L1 mercenary, replace titan with L3 Thugs Bruiser.

More powers is more gooder

[Andreah]

I am against Whip Mastery being an EPP.... it should be a full-fledged primary/secondary powerset for corruptors, defenders, dominators, and controllers. (And ofc, you'll have to ban most of the people who take it. )

[silverforte]

I'd like to see a Wind Aura get added. Functions similar to fire and dark auras, with defense/avoidance buffs and a toggle AOE that cuts up enemies in close proximity. Maybe ability to toss wind cutters and small vortexes that do aoe.
