The way I see it, they're differently-abled Brutes who trade hit points for range. That's a simple enough balance, isn't it? If you grant that Brutes aren't overpowered, then Terminators shouldn't be either.
I find most balance complaints are just hot air - everything's situational, and the situation changes all the time.
Seriously. Spiders and PBs (less so WS's) are, when you get down to it, Blast or Assaul primary, Shields secondary. The only limit is the storyline and theme.
As someone who really wanted to make a DP/SR character, /Signed -

You mean like a softcapped Fortuna or Crab? With their mez protection and Defense/Resistance (Crabs)?
You mean the ATs that are specifically Range/Defense set capable?
Spiders and Khelds are both EXACTLY what this suggestion is like, albeit they are straightjacketed in concept and powers choice. And niether of them are 'Tankmages' in the traditional view of overpoweredness. -
I'll still argue for making stamina less of a 'Need' power.
"Everyone, bar WS's, /regen, /willpower and those with end+ powers take it"
...Soooo, doesn't that kinda suggest all it's really doing is taking up 3 power slots and a pool pick? Yes, you can skip it, even on builds that dont get a +end power. And you pay for it by having to heavily slot for end red, and still being far more anaemic than builds that take it. It's like skipping out on a lung in real life, or something (tad extreme, but still) -
Welcome to how the EU feels, really =/

Current EM is enough to get me to scrap a level 50 Tanker, gut his slots and re-roll as Invul/Elec, let's put it that way. He wasn't the same character I rolled back when I started. He just felt much weaker. That might well have been innacurate, but it was still the feeling I got. So he got re-rolled.

Really, you're not?
Lets see what you said in the SAME POST:
I highlighted the part where you completely contradicted what you just said.
Have you SEEN the things a well built scrapper can do?
A scrapper has SOLOED the Master of Imperious Task Force badge.
There was another that killed four AVs simultaneously.
Saying that you're not asking for good defense/resistance and mez protection and then saying you want Scrapper secondaries is a complete contradiction. The scrappers that did that were both Katana scrappers, one was Willpower, the other was Regen. As such they had to stay in melee range the entire time due to having zero ranged attacks.
You're proposing that secondary sets with THAT kind of survivability be given to an AT that has a Dominator's ability to deal ranged damage.
That is a tankmage...by YOUR definition, not mine.
As someone who really, really wanted a Dual Pistols/SR chracter, this heavily gets my /signed. It IS possible to make ranged/defence characters that arent Tankmages. Both current EATs manage it fine, their problem is heavy limitations on concepts available. (Like DP/SR) -
Welcome back, Shaded one!
EMBRACE THE DARK SIDE! >=D -
Google Ads.
It's really that simple. I've seen Champions pop up in the side bar from time to time on sites, as a Google ad. If they can do it, surely we can to?
And comic book ads sound like a great idea to me.
Now...Welcome to the forums, oh marketing one and, what was that you mentioned about Booster Pack?
Start talking, or my namesake is going to get to test his new torture chamber
-
Done. Thats a subject I could rant on about for a loooong time
-
Hmm, duly noted. Thanks guys =]
-
Give. Now. Want. -
Alrighty, thanks much.
So, is smoke grenade and cloaking device enough to stack to make you, briefly at least, invisible to the mob you smoked?
Thinking of a concept char, and wondering if it's feasible or not worth bothering with. -
I'd love to see more run options. Given its quite an ever present part of the character, more run animations would be a really good thing, IMO.
No, BaBs, stop giving me evils...Put those gauntlets away, big guy, I have a railcannon y'know!
-
Actaully, in all seriousness, it does puzzle me why the statues around the city are...so bland? They're just big hunks of rock, with standard costumes and standard poses. Bar Atlas and Galaxy Girl, and Talos I guess, I don't know ANY of the other heroes. Why did they get statues? What did they do? Why do they look so dull?

Quote:Hmm. Epic AT, maybe.Originally Posted by Master_Armantus
I could see this working really well as an Epic AT. Perhaps some sort of a PPD prototype Power Armor that they've spent years perfecting. Offensive primary power set caters to your armor's various guns, lasers, and missiles, while the secondary power set implements your armor's defensive capabilities.
As for unlocking this AT? Simply play a hero to 50... AND a villain to 50! But alas, that suggestion is for another thread altogether.
Unlock at 50; Devs say no. Thats why they changed the current EATS from 50 to 20, because they didnt like it. -
Gets my /signed, for the choice of more options is a good one
-
I...huh...?
Who's been in and carved 'Win' into this?
Oh...it's you again :P
Fan-flipping-tastic. As usual. I still can't believe they haven't nired you. But you already know that, eh? -
Fairly simple, really; I don't know which stealth options available to a Blaster will stack. Planning on using Devices, so, will Cloaking and Stealth stack at all? I know the stealth IO does, but I'm still a tad confused.
Basically, enough stealth to get into a mob without being seen (For Trip mine, etc etc) -
The newspaper flapped onto the black metal desk quietly, as the owner chuckled quietly. A massive silhoutte loomed in front of the mass of command screens, spider arms clicking above it's head.
"Wassup, chief?" a voice said behind it, a white haired, beared man in Bane Spider Scout armour stepping up behind it, arms folded.
"It seems the 'Holier than thou' Pious Hunter is back from the dead."
"Hm. Went a-knocking to the Lord, and the Almighty said 'Up yours'?"
"I don't know, Sergeant. Nor do I really care. All it really means is that I get to have my shot at that so called 'Hero'," the hulking Crab Spider replied, turning away from the monitors and resting his knuckles on the desk.
Operative Doc, Bane Spider sergeant and assissination specialist, smirked quietly.
"Y'know...I know you don' believe in gods an' all, but doesn't it seem this guys got some mighty tough backing? To come back in one piece?"
Krimzon Commander, head of the Krimzon Guard and recently ex-Arbiter after standing down, looked up, eyes glinting in the bases red tinted lights.
"Oh, I never said I don't belive in gods, Doc. But, belive me, I don't respect them; I kill them." -
All the grief in this thread makes me smile. Human Grief tastes like happy sugar, hmnyes.
Really, it doesn't bug me *shrug* -
Hence the jranger. Because what is being asked for is probably not going to happen, by dint of being so close to in-game as we can get that it makes no difference. Da? =P

I'm tempted to toss a /jranger into this thread as well...I seem to be doing that a lot lately.
Ah well. Maybe I'm just losing the will to function. And inflicting pain is much more fun, anyway
-
It wont work with the current game engine, as Quint has said.
I doubt the Devs would risk another lawsuit with 'We own it all' Marvel, either.
And no, we don't need to look like the 'Other Super Hero MMO'. Use Superjump and imagine its your character swinging, if it bugs you that much.
Now, where did I...ah yes.
/Jranger -
Because Devs hate girls, apparently.
Females get generally less options with jackets and stuff, and they have 5-6 sit emotes that are all the same. I mean the exact damn same.
Then again, males dont get anything even close to a wizard hat, which is annoying. But then women dont get a kilt option. Which is really rather daft. And no, skirts dont look the same, because a kilt is thigh length with no flare. The only skirt option which is thigh length is the flared skirt, which mostly just looks rediculous.
Equality? Someday.
Oh, and IBGG (In before Golden Girl)
