If you want Attack Vitals and Sweep to have the useful combos, then skip Confront and Nimble Slice.

That's 7 out of 9 powers taken. Do you need Confront/Taunt?

I've found Attack Vitals, Blinding Feint, and Typhoon's Edge to be plenty of attacks myself, though I fully admit it limits the AOE.

I haven't found Dual Blades combo system to be at all hard to use or understand. It's missing not at hard to live with, you miss with the last attack int he chain, is like missing with your hardest hitting attack...no different.

What does need reworking is Stalker's Dual Blades combo system, because it sucks to no end.

What? I don't want the golden title. I wouldn't use these sets because of the golden title. I just think that's what should go along with making Hero Patron Pools, as I don't see the reason to make them outside of people saying...

"I want Shadow Meld, without having to go Red Side, so let's make a Hero Patron that gives me the equivalent of that."

Before we had the ability to take Ancillary Pools AND Patron pools, no one wanted Patron Pools, because they felt like the Patron pools made you a lackey. Now its more about trying to get ahold of blueside equivalent of redside patron powers, but not having to go through the process of alignment change.

I want the gold title attached to it for a few reasons...

I want to see the Hero Patrons have an AWESOME AWESOME OMG IS THIS POSSIBLY GAME BREAKING final teir power. For it to be a set that people look at and go "OMG! I CAN'T NOT HAVE THIS POWERSET IF I WANT TO STAY MIN/MAXED!"

Seeing as how Hero Patron's would mean storyline involved, and storyline wise the character wouldn't be an incarnate yet (as they'd unlock at lvl 34, so you can select the first power at level 35), they are in fact, not all powerful (which I find funny to hear people say...well see people write...as when I say, how does one feel so powerful when they need a group of 7 other people to help beat on an AV...so why is it bad that I want to make my character beable to solo AVs) as they're not lvl 50 yet, and they're not incarnates yet, and the fact that Hero Patron sounds like "I'm the sidekick" Pool...well then....

That leads to the gold title! Let's make the sets so enticing to grab, we see who's willing to grab that set and be stuck with the title of sidekick! Seeing as how many players don't seem to even care about the storylines and such things, I imagine many won't even care. For the few that do, they can really look at it and weigh the options.

And then after all that...for all that OMG AWESOME POWER...I can avoid using it! \o/ As really, my character is no one's sidekick.

Sounds like a great idea to me. And why I want it to be this way. And why I don't want it to just be "Here, have Villain Patrons without having to change alignment to get those powers."

Interresting, I've heard of worse things happening on the 800lb gorilla of MMOs.

And I havent found the atmosphere of CoH to be all that different now than from what it was way back in i3.

Same attitude new arguements/debates.

What?! You didn't 6 slot Stamina with END REC SO'S?! No wonder you're running out of END so fast! YOU NOOB!

See. Same thing, different wordings.

I wasn't even thinking of long recharging powers. I was thinking, here's a power that can't have it's recharge increased at all, now I get to double use it every now and again

This is myproblem with weapon sets as well.

Get a weapon? Feel screwed over by going Regen, and having to click often. :/

Temporal Armor! Could take a fw cues from Time Manipulation set.

No more idiotic than having to take a hero as your patron. You're so powerful, why do you need a Patron?

Having played a /Sonic Defender. You'll do enough damage solo, as to not matter. No really...solo wise, I havent seen much of a difference between Defenders/Corrs to really make it that big of a difference in who you solo with.

Personally, I'd say Defender with this combo. Why? Because the important blasts can be gotten by lvl 28 at the latest. The nuke isn't important (imo) enough to worry about getting it at lvl 32.

More -Resist is good for you and the team.

It's the one incentive left for being subcribed.

Same!

As to OP...

A biker escaped from hell..only problem is, hell's keeper managed to keep ahold of his skull!

And my thought is, do we get to get rid of everything that people don't like? I like the idea, I hope it happens.

Devs if you're listening, please make it happen if you do this!

"Positron's Sidekick" "Numina's Sidekick" "Synapse's Sidekick" ...act these are titles we need to have happen if this suggestion happens!

I didn't >_> To golden age for me!

Actually, you do get the choice of the Gold Title, what you thought I meant only one gold tile option? You'd look at the list of Hero Patrons (let's say there are seven of them)...then decide which of those seven's gold title makes you the happiest, and that's the one you choose. See, SEVEN CHOICES! \o/ It's all about choices!

Not to mention, you can always make it so you never see the gold title, by turning off the option to see the name of the character floating above their head.

I believe all the power descriptions you can find in game label the damage type as smashing.

When they said limited time, my first thought was that they meant "Halloween Time Only" sale. Which imo is okay.

That said...

Dear Devs,

Please grant the ability to have glowing eyes with the Bat Aura.

Thanks for listening.

If they dont want the title, they can easily avoid getting it by not unlocking them.

And the gold title would grant a gold title that is unique to the patron the character unlocks the pools from.

I mean if you're going to look at everything from the perspective of the Villain Patrons, then are the Hero Patrons going to be locked into just one set for a few years before you're able to select any of them with just one story arc?

Make something new. And everyone loves getting gold titles, or else they wouldn't go to the events to grab one, or select HELPER or HELP ME, to obtain a title.

And for the few who don't care for it, they can, like I said, not run the arc. Or just live with it, and turn off ability to see their name/title.

I'd say you're wrong on that.

But here's the thing. You say you only care about the looks, but then how do you deal with all those powersets with graphics attached to them?

Do you not roll ELA, FA, EA? Those options to hide INV, WP, SR, REGEN graphics...yeeeaaah, havent had those options for even half the time those powers were available.

I use Hasten on a character with Hasten...I don't think their hands glow, I think it's just an effect of the power to let the person know they activated it. It's not that hard to live with.

Now of course, some will incorporate such graphics into their characters, but I know I never thought any of my Regen characters where glowing bright green everytime they healed damage, as part of their concept.

What does that matter? Because the Patrons don't have them, means the Hero ones don't?

If that really matters that much, have the Villain Patrons give a badge, and the Hero Patrons give a gold title. Then it's all evened out.

There is a reason to keep it! It's called a knee to the face!
