Yet another attempt at Melee/Support: The Zealot

[Wavicle]

Here's my latest attempt at a Melee/Support AT.

 

The Zealot.

 

*Base damage would be a little lower than that of a Scrapper, since they get buff/debuff to help. The buff/debuff numbers would be close to that of a Corruptor, maybe just a little less. The self defense and hit points numbers might be near that of a Stalker. 

 

*Inherent would be Zealotry, a stacking Power Boost effect. It would build and degrade in a manner somewhat similar to Brute Fury. The more you attack, the more powerful your heals, buffs, debuffs, or controls will be. Enemy attacks against you would not build Zealotry.

 

*Primary sets would be identical to Scrappers except instead of Confront they get Power Placate. It's Placate and Power Boost in one. Using Power Placate allows you to get a Critical Strike OR Critical Heals, Defense Buffs, Tohit Buffs, etc. Longer cooldown than normal Placate.

 

*Secondaries would all be slightly modified from Corruptor versions. Probably changed power order in some cases, and also to give additional self protection, usually at some cost, along these lines:

 

Cold Domination:
Ice Shield replaced with Arctic Armor (Toggle Self Def to S/L/E/N)

Kinetics:
Repel replaced with Repelling Armor (Toggle Self Resist All Damage)
Increase Density replaced with Increased Density (Toggle Self Status Protection)

Certainly seems overpowered, unless I misunderstand

why? The base numbers should be low enough…
