MsSmart Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) I look at the Interrupt power set as a Corruptor/Defender power set. The concept of the power is to "Interrupt Powers" as in get them to stop working, but can be re-activated by the victim next turn, not a permanent interrupt. 1) Resistance, it turns off a random resistance power of the victim 2) Defense, it turns off a random defensive power 3) Status, it turns off a status effect protection power 4) Protection, it turns off MoG, and other similar abilities like forcefields, etc. 5) Resistance Area, same as 1 but treated as a Target AOE and multiple enemies affected 6) Defense Area, same as 2 but treated as a Targeted AOE and multiple enemies affected 7) Status Area, same as 3 but treated as a Targeted AOE and multiple enemies affected 8) Protection Area, same as 4 but treated as a Targeted AOE and multiple enemies affected 9) master Interrupt, poor victim gets the first 4 interrupts all at the same time Only a thought, might make the game a bit more sporting...

Rudra Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Way too limited a power set. It would only be usable against specific foes. For instance, it would be completely useless against DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Soooooo.... a controller or dominator. But without turning off their ability to attack you, so a worse controller/dominator. First, what if your target doesn't *have* powers like that? Or they're autopowers? "I've turned off minion's status protect power!" "What status protect power?" You've just wasted END. Second, how does this work with the current mag/mez system? Are you going to be spamming status protection/defense/etc. at an AV but still do noting until you hit a certain point? Are these stacking WITH mezzes somehow or are they totally different? Third, what does this do in PVP? (Zone and arena.) Sorry, this ... honestly doesn't look particularly promising.

PeregrineFalcon Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 This sounds like it would be a great powerset for PvP only, especially if each of these powers places Containment on the target. In PvE I can't see it having much effect unless the entire powers system is rewritten. For example, how would #1 just deactivate an auto power? It's my understanding that NPC auto powers can't just be shut off, they have to be countered by debuffs, which are affected by the Purple Patch. If #1 just ignores the Purple Patch and shuts off the power entirely, especially if that power is otherwise not affected by debuffs, that would make this far and away the most powerful debuffing powerset in the entire game. /powercreep Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

Uun Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 In PVE, most of the mob resistance and defense are auto powers that can't be interrupted. Most of the status protection is inherent in mob rank. Those that aren't are clicks, not toggles, and can't be interrupted once activated. 1 Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are toggles that can be suppressed, but yeah, by and large everything about the mobs are auto-powers. So the OP would be useful against Tsoo Sorcerers, Spectral Demon Lords, and others with auras that can be disrupted, but you can already do that with existing powers/power sets.

MsSmart Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 I did not realizer that the abilities of mobs were auto powers, thus making this proposed set moot. I really appreciate the educational comments Sue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
