What are your feelings over Devs disabling Class Signature abilities to favor challenge?

Have a full league? Then you go around, taking out the various coloured mitos, and then attack the core once his defences are down.

Why? Buff up and hit him. 30 seconds later, you get paid.

 

The signature ability of the fire tank is burn. Back in..issue 4 or 5, maybe, they put fear into it, hoping that the xp greedy fire tanks would invite others to help them corral the npcs into the burn patch. It worked for a little while, but really most folks just started playing other characters, until they removed the fear fairly soon after they put it in. 

I've never played a storm defender, so I can't speak on what it's signature ability is. I do think that while your repel might be useful for all kinds of things, just because it's not useful in BAF prisoner phase doesn't mean it's taken away. I experience this often with my stealth. I'll be in a mission, stealthed to 65 feet, and yet, a mob will see me. Did it take away my stealth? No. It just had better perception. Same with these prisoners. Never doubt a prisoner's resolve. They've got nothing but time to think of how to get a specific task done. You could lock one guy up in a building with only a cigarette, and another in a building across the street with a lighter. Given enough time, if the two know about each other and what they have, they'll find a way to get that cigarette lit.

The second mission of Katie Hannon, the one with the 10 spawns, the mobs prioritize killing healers if you let them live that long. Do the same sort of thing. If you set the BAF mobs to do something similar, repel causes every mob in a a large area to bee line to the repeler and kill with extreme prejudice, you could leave their repel working(but just on the mobs in front). Power still works, you just have to live with the consequences. I do like the idea of people using creative out of the box ideas and the devs not breaking them.
