For Ouroboros, if the portal itself can't easily filter hero/vigilante/rogue/villain, then what about having a "Red Crystal" and a "Blue Crystal" - for example, villains can only use the red one, and the blue one tells them they're being prevented from using it. Rogues and vigilantes get the same warning they get when using the doors in Pocket D, that they're about to enter a particular alignment's territory.

Worst-case scenario (like, "it only works in Pocket D because there's an intra-zone transition first") then I think doors could be added to the sides of the Ouroboros structure, leading to small interiors with their respective crystal.

Good idea if it would work, or too much of a hack?

Regen is good in PvP, that's about it. In PvE, every single mitigation set will outperform it when similar effort is put into it's build.

If you put 5 billion influence into both a Regen and a Willpower, the Willpower will blow the /Regens performance out of the water.

/Regen is the ONLY set that both A) has to seek defense and resistance from outside sources, via power pools and set bonuses and B) can have their primary means of mitigation completely stripped away by a LT class enemy. A SINGLE LT class enemy.

I love the idea, though, and would love to be sent sailing through the air more than a few times.

I kinda have a idea of anything with Holds, Imm, Sleep, Slow are the best for BAF so the escapees dont go for?

For LAM all i can think about for it be some kinda of straight up debuffer for Mara, Weapon Caches and Containments.

Any help on this would be awesome.

- Which AT/Powersets for LAM would be the best helper?
- Which AT/Powersets for BAF would be the best helper?

Only two things which im trying to say here

This is incredibly easy to test for yourself and I suggest you do so. For example, jump into a spawn and do nothing but leave your damage aura on. The first enemies to run will do so after one of their number dies, or if your defense prevents them from hitting you three times in a row.

In the end it comes out to a 240% damage buff vs a 300% I believe. But with scourge is awesome and chances are someone else on your team will help you make up for the missing buff mods.

Oh and of course scourge lets you do 2x normal damage, at your damage cap. So that is pretty great.

I am also dubious of the suggestion to instead create a Katana 'Manipulation'-styled set for Blasters... as again it crosses that above barrier. There is just something about the aesthetics of it that I don't like.

So you can have it whatever way you want.

The animation on the bolts reminded me a little of the rad snipe, though sleeker/thinner. Put me in mind of power effects of some of the Praetorian 1-20 mobs, but I can't place which (if any) they are lifted from (I'd be surprised if they were brand new animations just for the lore pets).

I expect them to start suing art supply manufacturers any day now.

I normally just write it all down in a notebook and use that as a roadmap...also the process of writing it down engraves it in my memory so I rarely need to look at my notebook

When the respec is done, I do a quick /cleartray and drop the powers back into position. A chore which normally goes kitten quick.

And I have to ask...what does belonging to a SG have to do with getting respecs done? Or are you talking about finding a respec team? If all else fails you can buy a recipe in WW or pay ten bucks for one....which I have done...they don't dare put respecs up for half price..I would buy one for all my active toons

I have done freespecs in WW, under a tree in Talos, once I did one on a roof in Dark Astoria..rarely do I do one in the base.

Lisa.

Edit...Mark was on test when he did his respec. He took a pic of it, then went to the live server and did it for reals

One man's garbage is another man's treasure. You're arguing from a thematic perspective, so let me make some counterarguments:

You have a Rambo-type character. You want to, thematically, be able to use heavy weapons, but the best you can get for a power set is Assault Rifle, which wouldn't satisfy as much as, say, a chain gun or rocket launcher (like what 5th Column and Destroyers use).

Or maybe your character is meant to be both a skilled martial artist and swordfighter, but you can only pick one of those as a powerset. On the other hand, if you picked up Martial Arts and used a temporary katana you could change that.

Or, maybe your character is a streetwise street fighter and you want to be able to use a whole lot of different weapons to reflect your character's "anything I can get my hands on" mentality. Baseball bats, sledgehammers, rocks and throwing knives are perfect for that.

My only real beef with the craftable temporary powers is that you can't stock up on charges, you have to wait until your power is fully depleted until you can craft another. Meanwhile, the recipe is taking up personal or auction inventory space.
