And as an additional prize, if you 'save options' on that character, it will start all new toons with that preset, and you can 'load options' to any earlier ones.

This post is going to seem a bit OT for a moment; just bear with me, here.

Paragon Studios has a big freaking sexism, gender-confusion hang-up that I've been fighting out with them periodically for years.

Evidence? Try putting a "Mars" symbol on a female toon's chest. Try putting a "Venus" symbol on a male toon's chest. Go ahead, I'll wait...

...

Back yet? Good. Now ask youself, how ridiculous is that? Want to know what response I get every time I ask about it or request this "bug" be fixed? None. Nothing. Not a word. But this little hang-up of theirs was the reason they were so slow to add the *gasp* gender-swapping option in the tailor. They've admitted to that much, at least, though I forget where; might have been at one of the Herocons, the Seattle M&G I was at over a year ago... it's been a while, but I was there at the time.

All this being said, as an avid MM player, I've wanted pet customization for a long time. ANY kind of pet customization. I understand that the resources may not be easily available, but if I can color-swap npc models in the AE (and I can), granting that ability, at least, shouldn't be too far out of reach. I personally have no feelings one way or the other specifically about female MM pets, but if you (collectively) want to see it happen, you're probably going to have to go after the root of the problem.

I've been trying to convince them that there IS such a thing as being TOO worried about offending someone. Here's to hoping other folks will help hold up the torch, so to speak.

Be that as it may, I've never had a problem landing mobs exactly where I wanted them, whether I'd bothered to -kb them beforehand or not.

There are only two kinds of maps in the game: indoor and outdoor. Indoors, there are always walls and corners to work with, and if a tank can herd mobs to them, so can I. This is quite aside from the fact that I routinely drop mobs around the melee toons even when they are affected by the kb, by simply accounting for that distance in my placement. It's just a matter of remembering whether they can be kb'd at the time, or not. Outdoors, it's even easier. I either launch them straight up, allowing them to drop down where I want them (with the falling damage), or I hover over them and fire straight down. All that kb just turns into an undignified bounce.

As for the recharge on gravity distortion field, your recharge on that might be 4 minutes. Mine's not. Can't look at the moment, since I'm not home, and the base number is pretty meaningless anyway, given the number of +recharge procs I have scattered around the build, but it's certainly up often enough for my needs.

In any case, there's still a big difference between "I've never learned how to use this power well" and "This power is broken/useless/doesn't do what I want/makes me cry".

Before too many people start "QFT-ing" some serious fallacies:

While I'm not a big proponent of adding more melee character options to a system that already has more of that than anything else, the one thing I've aways wanted was a "reflective" defense set, one that harms enemies that attack you with melee attacks. No idea how one would implement such a thing, but it is my only lasting desire regarding melee defense sets.

That would hypothetically explain why I've never had this problem.

Deck Skyson?

My diplomatic answer is "None of the devs bother testing/playing any Incarnate content on Masterminds."

This may not be true, but it's certainly how a lot of it feels.

Perhaps an increase in Tanker aggro cap, and number of targets affected by the tank's AoE damage, based on team size.
