He's more saying "Defenders don't get Ice slick". Or that's how I read it, at least.

*checks his character with Invader, recalling that it said that they unlocked*

Huh. Could have sworn that it was supposed to unlock with Invader. I was wrong.

It'd just reapply next tick, like all your autos.

Yes, Invader unlocks epaulets.

You can use attacks with Whirlwind going. It used to be broken to unroot during animations.

I believe it was always there, actually. Just way off to the side, behind those big counters, and easy to miss.

I could be wrong as well, though.

SG Registrar was also in GC.

I'd expect it to not expire as long as they're leasing it.

It would allow the power to do -something- when it can't teleport the target, theoretically.

They tried this in Alpha, it didn't work then as it allowed people to break the game and to cripple themselves too easily, and so, don't foresee them allowing it again.

This has been hashed over six billion times, so don't take it too personally when people point this out.

I've always personally chalked it up to Atlas Medallion. More research may be needed. It's not mentioned in the power help or the real numbers, though.

The tanker wants a team because he solos slower, on average, than higher damage ATs. The blaster wants a team because he has a higher risk of death than more defensive ATs. The scrapper wants a team because the team is more likely to be able to keep him alive than his being well-rounded will. The controller wants a team because he is much more effective with allies, and he is a proficient force multiplier. The defender wants a team because his force multiplication powers do not function on himself, because he knows that he makes a team much more effective.

The team wants a tanker because a tanker will, with the support of the rest of the team, be able to survive encounters as pointman. The team wants a blaster because the blaster's ability to defeat its enemies will enhance the team's ability to survive, its rate of completion, and its ability to defeat extremely difficult enemies. The team wants a scrapper because it will do significant damage with a minimum of outside support. The team wants a controller because a spawn that is unable to fight back is unable to kill it, and because the controller will enhance its ability to kill it. The team wants a defender, because the defender will greatly enhance the team's ability to survive and to defeat its enemies.

The tanker's protections extend only to himself, instead of the entire team. The defender/controller/corruptor can make seven people extremely scary, but not himself - this is why buff/debuff is allowed to be so potent, precisely because it requires outside support to reach its full potential.

Or are you proposing that buff/debuff should be eviscerated as well?

Lastly, an AT shouldn't be punished for its ability to solo, especially when its abilities in a team are somewhat limited.

"Give it to us, I don't care how it looks" may be acceptable to you, but I'd get pretty grumpy if my characters' robes or dresses had to stretch and contort in ugly and unpleasant manners in order to accomodate their motions.

Sorcerers also come in only one size and have only the one power set.

Don't forget that tanker damage was only ever increased from 75% damage scale to 80%.

That's not much. That's not significant, but it was enough.

The defender version of TB, at least, does not have an end gain.. So it's only the 2 nuke-lite powers that don't zero your end.

This looks like a thinly-veiled complaint about changes to curb farming, after its subsequent posts.

Or Shield Charge.

And let's not forget that closed beta will probably be going on a long while before the veteran/loyalty program people get in, which is how it went with City of Villains...

Don't forget x3 for Huge, Female, and Male.

Not yelling at you, but it gets proposed every other week. The devs have been on record as being against it, there are various forumites for and against, and these usually end in heated bickering between the two.

Yes, there's a new option. It will not be forced on those who don't want to use the new option.

You have two problems:

1. You are not entitled to a free instant character with no experience loss at any time just because you may not like your current set. You've already noticed a way to exploit this, and tried to play it as a good thing. It isn't.

2. TF balance. Being able to suddenly change AT or even set during a TF is exploitable.
