These are cool. I've always favored Sonic Blast as a utilitarian pool for the -resist it provides, but without a snipe I'd have to see what they wind up doing.

I still don't understand why they don't just drop the -1,000% recovery portion of the crash down to the -100% that Peacebringers and Warshades have on their nukes. It's effective at making it something to be careful about using without rendering you completely unable to defend yourself after using it.

What are the odds that Radiation Armor will replace Bio Armor?

Nice to be reminded, but what time tables are we talking about here? A week? A month?

I gave low markings for some things because I don't have enough information about them.

On the other hand, being that I know what the leaks the initially proposed abilities and setups found in Water, Nature, and Bio are, I'm ecstatic about them. All three, plus [Suspiciously absent Melee set] all look absolutely fantastic and I can only hope older sets will get tweaks based on the new mechanics.

In the section about things added to the market, I added Epic/Patron customization. Seems to me like the only way we're going to get it is if we pay extra for it.

How about taking a look at Unspeakable Terror while you're at it?

If it was a 2% chance to insta-kill anything sub EB, I'd understand the proc rate being that low. But it's a chance to stun on a target that's already feared. Even at 50% it wouldn't be that useful.

Does anyone know if the Corruptor ATO proc returns 5% Endurance or 5 Endurance? When dealing with characters that have more than 100 Endurance, that can start to add up.

Either way, I can see all of these being useful for at least some characters. The only part that confuses me is the Mastermind proc. 10% global damage resistance plus a regen buff versus just 10% AoE defense from the first? I'd expect the AoE defense one to get the regen bonus and the damage resistance to stand alone.

What are the odds of just creating secondaries for Blaster/Dominator that emulate abridged versions of popular melee AT combinations like Spine/Regen or Broad Sword/Shield?

You know, alter the definitions of a preexisting Archetype slightly instead of making a new one.

I don't know how Beast pets work, but Demons use a lot of endurance when they fight with both upgrades. So at least for them, even Chrono Shift is useful.

I don't have any interest in Beast Mastery, and I'm still sore they released it before Staff. But that's not really the discussion here.

My first Mastermind Merc/Trap was way back and she only ever felt like a dps character. A poor dps character. Best case scenario I could take out one strong enemy if I spaced everyone out and summoned more as soon as I could.

A little bit before Time came out I tried again with a Demon/Trick. Was interestingly more survivable than I remembered and very fast-paced and combat oriented, but still nothing special.

Once it came out, I made a Demon/Time, and I love this character. I play it like a tank, right down to having and using taunt if the team I'm on doesn't have a tank. With the resist buff from the Ember Demon and Time's Juncture on, I just walk right into melee and fight there. Wipe off any damage I take when the fight is over and move on. The only thing I wish I had was a damage aura so I could keep aggro better.

So I don't know if they did something to the numbers at some point, or if it's just a different methodology people are developing these days, but it's not just Beast Mastery.

Did pretty well for once. Don't remember the exact gains, but I took four characters around at or around 40 and got them to 43, 45, and two 46s.

For my money, everything is already there. The enemy groups are hard enough on their own. Just have the big bad spawn with a hard group of 3 bosses and some change.

Blue Steel was a joke. Spawn him with a group of Kheldian Division PPD and it would have been harrowing.

Mother Keres (or however it's spelled) was a joke. Spawn her with a group of Talons of Vengeance and you've got a fight on your hands.

Sentinel was a joke. Spawn him with a group of Banished Pantheon, which were in the room not five seconds before he shows up, and you've got a final fight with bragging about.

Best part is, it scales by itself based on team size and it's already in the game.

If you're on +0/1, you get like two or four minions; that's not going to ruin the game for lower-end players.

I understand the problem being presented here, but in a different light than the topic creator.

I soloed the entire DA meta-arc, taking the most difficult choices when possible, on +4/8 with a Fire/Dark Brute. It was a fun and an interesting challenge almost the whole time. But the few times it wasn't was against the solo EBs. Every single one was not just pitifully weak, but weaker than the regular groups I fought to reach them.

I must have died at least 50 times. But against the solo EBs, even if there was more than one, even if it was 54+3, my health never even dropped below 3/4. They could barely hit me, and none of their attacks did more than a scratch. Can that really be working as intended? All they'd need to do is spawn with a group.

I would want B if it was turned sideways and was an arm cannon instead of a rifle.

E and F have cool alien vibes, but I'll go with C.

I'd go with C. It's the most interchangeable, allowing for more than just the intended use.

It would double as armor. Any kind of armor from a suit to a robot.

Edit: Switching to B.

What about Build Up on Titan Weapons rooting the player during the animation if the weapon isn't already drawn?

Very nice graphic!
