Probably gain health from their attacks or something lol!

Another good idea is to look at the guides( some may be outdated ), the guides tend to show peoples experiences with powers. Normally I tend to reason out what powers I don't tend to find particularly useful for my build, by reading guides.

Just having someone build for you is probably asking for disappointment.

Change frost to a PBAoE(Frost Burst, hehe!) that works like Spine Burst....except throws out ice shards...

If you are having problems landing hits, definitely want to use RI first. I have plant/rad as well 2 acc in seeds, and RI can normally land max or near max confused targets on orange con mobs.

RI, SoC, then LR. If you have Creepers available they can be a serious opener as well.

If the dual pistol is designed after Wanted/Equilibrium type style of combat, it would make sense that the attacks be defensive as well. The +def would be only active during the longish animations.

Lol I have a level 50 AR, and after seeing DP animations and swap ammo....I so wanted some love shown to probably the oldest unchanged set of all at least visually.

So give AR some much needed kick in the seat.

Weapon options for Mercs/Thugs/Ninjas would be awesome, color options for Robot/Zombie skins and powers.

I also have to admit I would like to make my mercs a little more hi-tech (cyborg parts), but perhaps we are expecting too much...the issue already has alot to offer.

This has saved my eyes, the new forums was such a pain to read through. Your variant is such a relief....this is absolutely BRILLIANT!

Well toggles didn't use to always stay on until you clicked them off or ran out of endurance. You could get mezzed and lose the toggle, but as you pointed out that probably doesn't suggest it should be called Temporary either.

They probably can rename it to Nigh Invulnerable, but I doubt it'll see any name change as it's really semantics to come up with a reason to call it anything....other than what it is now.

I have alot of fun with the new Psi-Mastery power World of Confusion, running it + Hotfeet + Choking Cloud makes for a fun day in the new larger spawns. WoC needs confusion enhancements if you want to use it for damage mitigation, and/or Contagious proc as the confuse is quite short.

I use it as another damage aura, and apply generous(frankenslot) damage procs like Oblit(smash), Erad(energy), Scir(slash), and of course if you can afford it 2 Armageddon's(fire proc) + Armageddon Damage, for the 4% recovery.

I just love the tick, tick, tick....BOOM aspect of PBAoE procs =)

Yep, I plan on rad/mm myself epic set I'm not locked in yet, but I think it should be fun.

Well on time when I was messing around with free realms, and they have that little name thingy in the beginning which you can make your name from a set of pre-designed names...and mix/match them.

Something like that would be nice, basically you could have a power descriptive like ( Fire, Flame, Energy, Radiant, Icy, darkness, force ) and then an action descriptive like ( punch, kick, blast, shot, haymaker, rings, bomb, armor ). There are probably tertiary variants that could be added, but that would just be simple enough, and the names could be based on what the actual power provides...say like pets (i.e. Dark Servant...names available would be Shadowy, Dark, Shapeless, and Entity, Being, Agent, Voidling ).

It does in Mu-nese

Well i tried a plant/EA and plant hold strangler didn't prevent stone spears from performing KD.....maybe it's that way for all of EA.....lets some one with a higher toon test it out, you may be screaming doom fer no reason.

On my Ice tank icicles gets a pretty good boost from soul drain, also ice has energy absorbtion which although isn't a damage aura it has a PBAoE minor damage component, and can be spammed bout every 30 secs.

I use it in my ice tanker's FA, but eh 5% is 5%....def set bonuses for cheap set are ok =)

With powerset customization, wouldn't it be nice to be able to select different types of pets? I mean they would keep in style with the theme of the power set, but offer different looks.

Would only be slight skin alterations on existing pets, or moderate animation overhaul.

I guess it would help to have some write up on the insight I have, as so you would get an idea of what I'm talking about lol.

So my ideas for example

Fire Control:
Fire Imps : Of course!
Magmite : Stone Pet w/brimstone armor look. Magma Smash!
Fire Vine : Looks like Audrey, but fire-like vines and flaming petals ( my personal preference would be carrion creeper version, but sticking with the final pets ). fire/lethal damage.
Mirage : Flaming hot Phantasm woot! fireball instead of torrent
Misty : Jack Frost but wispy smoke-like, uses super-heated water attacks
Solarite : looks like Singularity, fire-red/orange hues. combustion attack instead of repel.

Ice Control:
Jack Frost : as if you didn't know.
Frost Imps : most people would probably already have some of these with color change, but these would have like Icicles(Ice Armor) on em =).
Arctic Blossom : beautiful crystalline flower, so deadly...so cold...ohhh such a chilling embrace.
Icy Apparition : Frozen Torrent anyone?!
Glacial Tyrant : Poo Man with ice crystals that sparkle Glacial Smash!
Ice Wisp : Singularity with a cool exterior...

That is just a basic gist, I'm sure there are those of you that are more clever....I have an expanded list if you truly wanted to see it, but this is good for the idea to get across .

Oh and since the devs didn't love you Mind Controllers enough to give you pets, I couldn't come up with anything to help ya.

Well give up some feedback, I'd doubt it'll happen, but we can roleplay our ideas as if we were on the development team .

EDIT: cleared up a code typo ;P

Hooray a friend filter!

I doubt that's true, my ice tank sucks down end like nobody's business, I'm sure with proper IO slotting someone would come up and tell you differently.

However the problem for me isn't running out of end, as EA is up often enough (30 secs currently ). Just alot of times when fighting I get to 1/4 of my blue bar left before I can use it again, I doubt i'd have that much left if I didn't have stamina.

Granted my attacks (Dark Melee) are currently slotted SO's so this may be solved with IO slotting, but I still believe stamina is a great power for even toons with end recovery powers. Sidenote: I did find myself not needing DM's Dark Consumption power as I rarely used it.

It's a pet peeve of mine, but it's not called stone.....it's earth. Stone is a Tanker AT, I'm sure most will know what you are talking about as I do. Still there seems no reason to go around calling it stone, it's not like its a shorter spelling.
