Arsenal Mastery Proliferation

*shrug* Guns are tech too, but very much in line with a natural character. The difference being if it is something anyone can simply pick up and use, like a hovering drone to assist with targeting. I'm staying out of the discussion for the most part. Prefer to see how the discussion goes. However, it felt like that question was needed given what was already stated in the thread about the intent. There is a way to make any mechanic fit any theme, but if the intent is a specific theme, then the names for the desired mechanics should probably at least peripherally fit.

 

Like I've said, can always change the name to make it fit a theme.

 

Really, I think the most important part of my suggestion is the ability to decide between Dual Pistols or Assault Rifle for the weapon aspect.

Well, still goes to say, they put it in a set that was made for the idea of a natural hero and people can use it other wise.  So the same could be said here.  

 

However, you can always, as I've shown, just change the name.

The armor for Arsenal Mastery already exists.

I mean if you want to go with that one, but it's passive so it's a lot less than a toggle.

It's not really a case of what we want to go with so much as consistency. The general rule of thumb is that if two Epic pools share the same name/theme they should be drawing from the same set of powers. The precedent is that Arsenal Mastery gets Body Armor while Mind over Body goes into Psionic Mastery sets.

 

Also as a note, while Body Armor is a passive it also provides resistance to all attacks as opposed to just S/L/P.

Double Shot (Single Target Range) Rifle and Dual Pistol Options

Body Armor (Passive +Resist All except Psi)

Spray and Pray (Targeted AOE Range) Rifle and Dual Pistol Options

Trained Operative (+Def, +Recovery)

Targeting Drone (Like Weapon Mastery)

 

Changed Trained Operative up from Physical Perfection by thinking of how Harmonic Mind was slightly different from Physical Perfection.

 

Still think the attacks should be able to get Rifle or Pistol options, just to get more concepts into it, which is why I changed the names from any in use.

Eh, it's for Trollers.  Could just as easily go with Regen, +END, or whatever, I just went +DEF as it seemed trainer operative-ish.
