    That makes panacea a lot more attractive to my bot's traps now

    A Stone Armor/ character would be automatically be categorized as a Tanker so /Robotics would use Tanker mods for pet damage. You can keep foes taunted to yourself up to cap, but pets bypass that cap and without support to keep your pets alive, they'd probably die eventually. The combo would be an aggro monster but probably not much else.



    It wasn't indicated, but if I were guessing, choosing an assault set as a primary would mean the character gets Domination as its inherent.



    A /Fire Tanker would probably do just as good considering the mods for pets.



    I think it'd be a fun little game if the devs made a VIP server, very small load, maybe only 300 at a time. Everything is periodically wiped every other week, and the rules are lax. A few GMs would just josh around, doing what actual GMs do, maybe they'd give a dozen or so vets privlages to help police things. Players could make outrageous combos, the GMs could do random BS like waves of gian monsters, open PvP...just craziness.
    that sounds a lot better than what they intend to use that server for

    For all ATs
    -The Squishy versions should provide a second defensive option one that doesn't cover your toon in some obnoxious visual effect like that ice armor

    -The Melee version
    Has a neat toy or two and blasts

    I think they only spawn for teams though they may stick around even if a team is no longer there

    I'm not a fan of rerolling but my Cheetatron Series of characters may be getting a Beam/Traps brother

    My "Spring Time of Youth" MA/SR may get a SJ/SR version (Though I just cant see having to start over in terms of badges and costum slots grrrr)

    purple ios are unique you can only have 1 of each per build as for what place is better compare which ever power recharges faster with which ever power hits the most targets and figure out which would benefit you most with the proc

    I wouldn't mind that either but in what way? Boost special? Boost dmg? don't forget that fighting is used by more than just melee ats so it would have to effect all attacks right?

    Should be easy to code(standard code rant applies)
    Power: "Focused brawl"
    Brawls old end cost, twice the dmg and made unresistable

    Since travel pools are getting 5th power choices I thought this pool could use an opener power that was more compatible with weapon sets and since brawl doesn't cause you redraw my hope is this ability can use all the same animations as the normal brawl does

    I noticed that yours is based on mine hehe as for cost the only way I was able to get the pvp 3% def was by cashing in emps although I'm not far away from being able to get them with alignment merits

    You "can" save yourself a slot in the prot bots by using 2 enzymes instead of 3 membranes...

    if you rerolled that character as one with 2 different sets and a different AT I cant objectively see that original roll as a character you enjoyed playing

    That character was not turned into a fire/sr brute or scrapper so it doesn't really apply to that part of what i said either

    Respecs only apply to the active build so changing one doesn't change the others.

    And since builds are directly linked to the characters level they need only level one build up to 50 and the other two are auto-leveled to instant 50's.
    I don't know why your assuming a powerset respec would work in the same multiple builds way as our current respecs

    Important part bolded.

    Implementing Power set respecs, even as a Purchase option, would immediately, and irrevocably, remove one of the MAJOR INCENTIVES of a subscribers account over a F2P account.
    I disagree many people have multiple characters they want to play or like playing chances are your not going to PS respec those characters into something else unless it was te same concept but different AT and I don't see a lot of people rerolling a high lvl Fire/Invul into a Invul/Fire or Arch/KiN for a Kin/Arch for most if it's high level enough your probably just going to leave it and the concept behind it alone like my NRG/DEV

    Didn't realize someone already brought up this idea with freedom in mind

    True but a lot of things are changing everything is being gated by micro transactions i'm sure play nc pressure might get P studios to re-examine all the money making avenues to keep this game a float and so long as there is demand not having an option like this is a missed opportunity

    Actually this thread has no such restriction in respec type, just tiers of cost, if you go from nrg/dev blaster to Kat/Fire scrapper you pay the highest price of all

    "Total Respec"

    Almost everyone has a character concept they developed with sets that were available but have grown to regret playing up to whatever level cause it just isn't fun or believe would fit better as something else/newer and remains parked there

    Respecs that only change 1 powerset would have a certain cost, both sets would be double that cost, both sets and AT would be triple

    Respecs that only changed AT but kept the same powersets would cost the same as a 1 set respec, AT and 1 set would be double, and again AT + both sets triple.
    Includes origin respec

    Name change sold separately


    Since lots of individual items are no longer bundled in with everything else and have to be purchased separately why not add something like this? I'm sure some f2pers would pay for something like this and so would some VIPs
  23. Cheetatron
    I too would like more time saving changes, more in depth sell/delete warnings, fewer NPCs to go to for xyz facet of game

    Why not split the difference though one or two jack of all things npcs who have slightly worse prices on stuff and the other npcs and stores remain that way the immersion people get their cake too
