Its been mentioned here yeah no team needs a healer but having one, a GOOD one, is not a BAD thing and I have seen Global chat conversations on Virtue where they made it sound like Empathy was the WORST powerset imaginable and they would never take and EMP on any team they ran. lol The thought always runs through my head fine.. My Ill/Emp has Recall Friend and Superior Invisibilty have fun on that TF without a Stealther ... I'll be over here helping a team that does appreciate what I have to offer.

From Castle's notes two things got changed, 1. they can't heal while held, 2. they pretty much can't be held. Seems to me like these cancel each other out and there should be no significant difference from before.

Previously holding them meant they still spammed heals. Now, they spam heals because you can't hold them. What am I missing because i'm obviously missing something?

ive been avoiding the get all inf button and havent had an issue so far, as long as you give like 1-2 sec between hitting the get button on the next item you should be fine, this issue is more of a inconvenience than a real issue (like the disappearing stacks of items)

I'd much prefer to see new, AT tailored APP/PPPs.

For several reasons really.

It will (hopefully) cut down on accidental overpowered combos, allow ATs to retain some level of uniqueness and will also not pigeonhole ATs into the roles of their so-called "counterparts".

My thought on this whole thing, which is not likely to be implementable even remotely, is that the way endurance currently works makes no sense within the framework of the game. When you start out you have 100 edurance points. These act as a percentage of a total. Aside from gaining items such as accolades or IO sets, you have those same 100 endurance points at level 50.

That really makes no sense. They're not endurance points. They're a % of being completely rested. Yet you spend points on powers which remain static. If I've had a power for 30 levels, shouldn't I be better at using it? Not only should that power do more damage, but I should be much more efficient in its use. If the power costs me 5 points at level 1, shouldn't it maybe cost me 3 at level 30? 2 at level 50? This would make it important for people to be careful about when they select different powers. The earlier you take those end-heavy powers, the harder it is on you at first but the lower they'll cost later on.

Alternatively, if the endurance cost of a power doesn't change, then shouldn't we be getting more endurance to spend? That would also show how we're getting more efficient in our power use. We do more damage, the enemies do more damage, so we get more hit points. That's "health". Health could just as well be shown as a % of total, too, but it's not because it doesn't make sense given the way the game works. The same is no less true of endurance. It doesn't make sense to have it as a % of total.

By changing endurance to actually make sense within the framework of the game, it would really solve all these other questions altogether. Rest, recovery, Stamina, etc. would all fit within the framework in exactly the same way the health issues currently do. You don't hear anyone complaining about regeneration, do you? I know I don't. Why? Because as you go up in level you get more health points. Lower level attacks do less damage relative to the total number of points you have, as befits a more healthy hero/villain. You've learned how to take more damage by going up in levels. It's foolishly illogical to think of endurance in any other way.

For the most part, and come I17 will be the norm, I ferry inf from my bank char blueside and whoevers richest at the time redside.

I completely agree with this. Another issue with Rage is the ToHit buff. Having access to a permanent 20% to 31% ToHit buff makes Super Strength significantly superior to other sets when fighting higher level opponents. Foot Stomp is so good not only for its huge radius, but also because it's running 95% hit chances far more often than other sets are able to, and this buff extends to APPs/PPPs, Pool Powers, damage auras, and Temp Powers/Vet Powers (both of which happen to break the -9999% damage crash, and are more often ignored for their accuracy deficiencies than lack of damage).

SS doesn't have baked-in deficiencies that Rage mollifies. An 8 second recharge attack still does 1.64 DS, just like every other set in the game. Hurl is an exact clone of Hurl Boulder, and if SS were indeed designed around Rage then Hurl's value should be lower without Rage active but higher while buffed. It's not penalized, and neither are the set's other attacks.

As pointed out earlier, the only adjustment that any power has is a 25 second recharge in KO Blow. KO Blow used to do paltry damage, less than jab in fact, and was given extreme damage shortly after the release of City of Heroes. This recharge penalty was seen as a trade off for receiving an extreme attack at 18 rather than 38-- a full 20 levels sooner than most other sets for Tankers. There's also a chance that Rage played a role in having 5 additional seconds of recharge.
