The Ildela who wasn't currently contained within a cloud of creepy black stuff quite happily took the offered teleport, casting a glance over at her other self before they disappeared. Said other self neither heard nor responded to the offer, occupied as she was with who knows what.

---------------

Over in Atlas park, Ildela emerged from the teleport with the rest. She stopped a moment, looking around. Portals, check. Robot army, check. Zeppelin.... check. Of the three, only that last one was much of a surprise. But the ever overconfident Mirel seemed sure she could deal with it, so Ildela simply sent a burst of energy her way as a parting gift. Then extended the same to the others with her, each of them in turn suddenly experiencing a huge surge of energy. They'd feel as if they could run a marathon without even breaking a sweat.

That done, she turned her attention to the robots. In her experience, the lightning-like energy she wielded tended to disagree with robots. Thus, she promptly raised a hand toward the nearest group of them and the ground under them suddenly erupted with pulses of the same energy, interfering with their normal operation and effectively putting them to sleep, or a reasonable impression of it at least.

Back in Founder's Falls, the other Ildela emerged from her cloud changed. Apparently she was among other things a shapeshifter, at least to some extent. Her skin was lighter, her hair a darker brown rather than the dull orange it'd been before. Even her outfit was different, dressed now in a far more traditional superhero costume. "Right then", she commented, looking around for anyone still present. "Off to Atlas to beat up interdimensional invaders... feels like home, now." With that she headed off in search of the teleporters the guys who had sent them here had said they'd have. They weren't too difficult to find, of course. After entering the requisite coordinates on the control panel attached to the teleporter (And instructing anyone still with her on how to do the same, if necessary) she stepped onto the pad and in a flash of energy was gone.

Arriving in Atlas, she like her other self before her paused a moment to take a look around and assess the situation. "Nazi airship. There's a new one", she commented, watching it emerging from its portal before promptly vanishing from sight and flying off in search of things that deserved a good beating.

It's not even the balance thing really, it's that the logic behind making the pet buffs cost way more end than they used to when they were single target was that you can buff six pets at once with one power so obviously it should cost more than it used to for the added convenience. Now they've announced they're changing most other single target buffs in the same way but without the same increase in endurance cost, and that doesn't really add up. To be fair they should lower the end costs on MM pet buffs, at least a little if not outright back to their old costs.

I agree, using an arachnos mace for normal war mace attacks would be awesome. Hell, bane spiders both playable and npc do it. Where it falls over though, is the reverse. If you make them both use the same weapon that means either you do the mace beam attacks with a normal mace which would look pretty stupid, or you have to lock people into the arachnos maces for everything if they pick mace mastery which would annoy people. So yeah, probably not going to happen.

To be fair, that'll happen regardless of if you have SB or not. The torches have a way bigger hitbox than they really should.

Find me someone, anyone who likes the fact that using a nuke means they have no end for 15 seconds... and maybe I'll consider that a valid reason not to do it. Seriously. I've never met someone who likes that mechanic.

Have you tried unslotting the proc, and seeing if the sound remains?

Remove the crash on them entirely, lower the damage and recharge to be comparable to Full Auto and Rain of Arrows. (And I'll specifically NOT include Hail of Bullets in that, there's no real reason for that to have twice the recharge of the other two IMO.) There, suddenly they're good powers like the crashless nukes some sets already have.

I would say the main difference as I understand it is Union seems to be a little more cohesive than Virtue is. (And I say that without ever having set foot there, so that's only the impression I get from the forums) It's probably a side-effect of Virtue having the higher population, there's simply too many people for everything to mesh together more or less nicely like it does on Union. So to maintain anything resembling continuity you end up RPing mostly with the people you know and/or your supergroup, while as I hear it on Union they're a little more open about things. So RP is easier to find, just because people in general are easier to find, but may be harder to get involved in.

Either the enrage or his unstoppable will put him at 100% smashing/lethal resist on their own. It wasn't such a big deal until I20 because you just wait for it to wear off. But now in the Lambda trial there's not one but two badges which require you to leave him enraged for the whole fight. Which in turn renders most scrappers as well as some sets in every other AT except controllers utterly powerless to do anything to contribute. So much for bringing the player and not the AT, huh?

So are a lot of superpowers, yet somehow Paragon is still standing.

All of these ideas sound awesome to me. I know I have a few characters that'd use each one of them.
