Oooo...I like this even more. (well being able to grab a travel power at lvl 2 would be awesome too).

You stull have to take a pool, but you dont have to take MULTIPLE pools, so you can take another one, that you might have always been able to fit in if they did this OR just fit in another power, if you didn't want the Preq.

They could even make it so you have to have 2 Powers before the new powers Tier 1 (Fly/SS/SJ/TP), Tier 2 (everything else), then Tier 3 (the new powers) and I really wouldn't mind at all.

Well, you didn't give any hints of Woot liking girls, so I thought it came off more pandering to the fanservice "Oh look two girls kissing...Ooooo" crowd more than anything.

But then I read the one comment on the page, and then thought...ya know, I think it'd be awesome if APM turned out to be a boy in drag too. But then, one of my favorite characters is based off that idea, so /it/ could be because of that.

Yeah, this was a chang I didn't agree with by this reasoning.

No, they didn't get Scrappers crit, but then, Scrappers don't get Bruising or Gauntlet.

I think it was more a "No one would use MA but a few if we ported MA" change than any thing really dealing with Scrappers and crits.

It was a set that would of been over shadowed by Super Strength for many players, so MA needed something to give it an edge ovr o Tankers.

Now, that said, they could make it so you can enhance the defense debuff in CAK, so I can slot a -Resist in the attack.

INV's one click is Dull Pain, which even if made perma, should never actually be made to be kept on perma.

It is!

Replacing Quickstrike with Focused Burst, last I recall didn't lower the overall DPS that much (if using the best DPS ST attack string), but it did lower it. However, Focused Burst's longer animation means less +RCH is needed to get CS recharging fast enough.

Haven't checked on the numbers in awhile, so I could be wrong on this. I have a KM/WP Stalker at 50, and working on a KM/DA Scrapper now.

I Repulsing Torrent I find skippable. It either needs it's chance for KB increased to 100% so you know you're knocking everything back, or it's damage increased so it's worth using as a damage power. IMO anyways.

I personally love Focused Burst, as I just love having a ranged attack, plus I can combine it with Epic Power Pool Range Attack for TWO range attacks. And not suffer redraw for it! \o/

Yes, sometimes you will hit corpses with Concentrated Strike, but less so than Total Focus. And since it's the only really long attack in KM, it's not so bad. In fact, I didn't have a problem with hitting corpses with EM untill it had TWO powers that did it.

One long power in a set isn't that bad.

Burst is a little longer than some PBAOE attacks in Melee sets, but not by much, and since you tend to use it in a crowd, you're going to tend to hit targets with it.

Focus Burst isn't much longer than Crane Kick, Cobra Strike or Crippling Axe Kick. So it's not like it's totally terrible, and I don't find myself hitting corpses much with Focused Burst anyways.

Havent had that problem with CS much either, but it's the difference between have 1 and 2 main 3 second attacks. You just have it happen more with multiple 3 second attacks (which EM has).

I like this idea.

It allows you to have the travel you want at the start of your characters journey. Which goes with how a lot of characters in comics are. Sure some develope them later, but a lot start out with one.

This also makes it more possible to grab the new travel pool powers. I've managed to grab them on a couple of characters, but it wasn't easy.

If it might take away from the bought travel powers, simply increase them a bit...Ninja Run/Beast Run can have close to SS's speed, but offers no +Stealth, but does offer better +Jump.

Jet Pack, give Fly itself -Fly protection, then Jet Pack can offer the same speed, but it lacks the protection.

The two Jump Packs. Eh, I never really saw them as travel powers, these seemed more like abilities that supplement SS or NR/BR.

Plus there's no real clickies to worry about, so no redraw, and no losing momentum by cliking a heal power (which takes away from your momentum time).

I can easily see INV and WP being the popular choices. SR as well, if they learn to click the Mez Protection when needed, instead of everytime it's up.

I liked it as well. I even went into it thinking "This will be terrible" only to quite enjoy it.

That's only for the more natural sets...WP, INV, SR, and Regen (maybe Nin), for the elemental sets, this isn't the case, and imo that's how it should be.

I'm sure there are those who disagree. And this isn't to say I don't see a reason not to improve some of those graphics, especially Ice Armor.

Still think it's unneeded. All it needs imo will continue to be, the ability to cap it's Negative Energy Resist on it's own.

With TW, you're for the most part doing 1 slow attack, and then 2-4 fast attacks, and then repeating. So I don't know if I'd call it a slow set per se, but you may want to go with a less clickie defense set, so you don't interrupt the attacking and thus the fast animations.

Yeah, but it's the 3 short attacks that make up most of the DPS, witht he major DPS attack of the tier 9.

The other long attacks are a PBAOE, a Blast, and a cone blast that most people skip.

And in a normal attack chain, you're likely to use the 3 starting attacks (quick animations), the Tier 9, and the PBAOE (which are all kinda slow across the board on melee ATs)
