Honestly I'd roll both so you can handle any situation. heh

It looks sick and the powers exist inside of the Beta per people in the other thread. That's second hand hearsay though.

Hope it comes out with i21. If that is what we can expect from future Power Sets then a large amount of clapping is deserved for the Devs.

Something I view as necessary: Enchancement window that goes up to 50+, so you can respec your character once and pull pretty much all of it's slotted enhancies out.

What do you plan on farming?

Memphis, you don't think they could simply add a button on the team tab that you could click instead (like MM pet's have to select all to change stance) and yes it would change end cost but it would again scale, and the duration issue is yes decided by all those things now...but that could change.

If your mention of there some times being a need for a lack of a buff on a certain player is valid, then don't you suppose it would be more efficient to offer a solution to that issue? Allow the power to select all on team or by individual. I'm not talking PBAoE here, but even if it was, people deal with PBAoE buffs all the time on characters.

Lately I've been noticing a lack of buffs...specifically Shields from Therms/Colds/Sonics...even Bubblers. This isn't just on trials where Incarnate abilities are the norm, but in regular game play. I especially notice it when teams are going through a tough spot and notice when we regroup that A. We've had two Colds the entire time and B. We haven't had shields the entire time.

Generally speaking I contribute it to one main thing, Laziness. The reason for this laziness is pretty straight forward though, it's not so much a crime of the individual as it is bad gameplay mechanics IMO. The buffs don't last that long, 5 minutes is nothing when you have you are in a mission continuously fighting, and you have to buff everybody with multiple shields. There are macros to help this but still, I thing some gameplay mechanics should be changed.

I can't complain without making a suggestion but hey, here goes nothing.

Instead of shield buffs only applying to an individual, have them apply for the amount of people on the team who don't already have that same buff from the same person (double buffing from going in mission doors could still take place) and have the Endurance cost scale to however many members you have on the team. I'm unsure if this same mechanic should be able to be used on other teams in a League, on them only with the same Endurance scaling. Haven't thought about that much.

I'd also like to increase the time that the buffs last. 10 minutes seems more fitting to me. This will "generally" last through most intense fights.

My intent is not to just help lazy people out, I honestly thing the shield buff durations and mechanics need to change. (More like a want, but wutevs )


So in conclusion:

- Increase duration of the buff
- Buff applies to entire team and endurance cost scales for how many players are buffed.


Thanks much.

The devs should be really nice and when a team gets 10/10 crates/containers everyone on the team should automatically be given an additional grenade/Acid temp. Wouldn't have the issues people are having since there would be so many, and since you earned 10/10 of whichever, no one can say you don't deserve them.

Both are great sets, WP is a less click happy when it comes to your own defense.

My /regen has MoG, IH, Shadow Meld & Phase Shift. It doesn't die. Ever. Regen also doesn't have any weaknesses to any damage types as +regen has them all covered.

/Wp is great while in a large mob, and has pulled off numerous feats. It lacks a great self heal, but with IO slotting can get enough defense as to where Aid Self can be taken and used effectively.

Both a great sets, and regen is only as weak as you make it.

<3 you Posi, thanks for giving us the heads up. People are anxious and it's greatly appreciated.
