The "elemental" APPs need a really thorough Proliferation

[Generator]

Hey there,

 

So while there's been a really great job getting Primary and Secondary powersets proliferated, Ancillary Pools lag behind a bit.  This was driven home for me on several characters recently.  My Ice^2 Scrapper, for instance, has ended up throwing Shurikens around, and he'd much rather be flinging Ice Blasts.  I have an Electric Dominator and a Controller, both of whom would love an Electric mastery APP.  Cold/Ice Defender that doesn't have a Cold-themed one, and so on.

 

It's not a huge issue, but I really think it could stand to get some attention.

 

Thanks for your time!

So, first saying I agree with the basic premise and more APPs would be good. Even beyond the elemental ones more psychic and weapon pools could help alot of concepts. But for now as an imperfect work around leviathan patron pool has water spout and hibernate, and Mu has electric goodness.

Going with Mu is a bitter pill to swallow if one is playing a hero.  My Elec^2 Dom referenced above did that, and I just gritted my teeth all the way through it.  Not that the patron arcs are hard to do, I'm not saying that, but I was just sitting there thinking, "She's not a villain, and I shouldn't have to be here doing this just to get some powers that match."

 

I mean, just to spitball a "Charged Mastery" Pool for Doms:

 

35: Shock

35: Ball Lightning

38: Charged Armor

38: Power Sink

41: Surge of Power

 

That looks fairly in line with other APPs for Doms, let me color-tint those, and I'm happy as a clam.  🙂

 

Have a good one!

Absolute agreement on this. A full set of elemental APPs would be a wonderful quality of life improvement.
