Of the various ATs I think this probably affects Controllers the most, because it means APP blasts and AoEs are available somewhat earlier, rather than waiting until 41. Late blooming sets are in less of a position to take advantage of it.

I believe this also makes it possible to take all 5 APP powers, and to 6 slot more liberally than before.

I thought these things worked the other way around!

Time Manipulation!

Start the DeLoreans, we're going back in time! This all-new powerset will be available for Defenders, Controllers, Corruptors, and Masterminds. I will continue to update this post with real numbers as I get, uh, time...

View the full post in order to see the list of powers and what they do.


The powers, in order that they will be available (at the AT-appropriate levels) are:

Time Crawl
Ranged Foe, -Speed, -Recharge, -Regen, Special

You're able to dramatically slow the time around a single enemy, reducing their movement speed and attack rate. Time is slowed to such an extreme that their wounds will take longer to heal, reducing their regeneration rate. Time Crawl applies the Delayed effect on its target. Debuff and control effects from other Time Manipulation powers are increased on affected targets affected by Delayed. Recharge: Long.

Accuracy: 1
Range: 80
Activation time: 1.6 seconds
Recharge time: 15 seconds
Endurance cost: 10.4

Accepts Slow, Endurance Discount, Range, Recharge Time, and Accuracy enhancements.

________________________________________

Temporal Mending
PBAoE, Ally +Heal, Heal Over Time, +Res(Slow, Regen Debuff)

You mend the wounds of yourself and nearby allies by placing your bodies in a past or future state where they are far less injured. Temporal Mending will immediately heal its targets and continue to heal them for an equal amount over the next 6 seconds. Additionally, affected allies will gain some resistance to slow effects and regeneration debuffs. Allies affected by the Accelerated effect will receive additional healing from this power.

Ally +Damage, +Recharge, +Regeneration

You distort time around an ally, selecting a period of time where their abilities are at their highest. Their damage, attack rate and regeneration rates are dramatically increased for a brief period.

You trap your target within the flow of time causing them to be held helpless.

I've thrown toons together in the past that were just proof of concept but I always tire of them even if they hit 50. The ones I keep playing are the ones with a good background and theme.

Any creative help out there? I'm not fussy about Origin type as long as it fits.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, ninja/traps planning on coming back. I left during the archetic issue, so I am unsure as to the changes that has happened to masterminds, ie.. improved powerset, change looks of pets , ect. Also with the new expansion, I can change alignment to hero? And do the incarnate enhancements effect pets? Thanks ahead for any info.

And they can get a dark assault set as well. Today. Not post-I21 or whenever the 'good news' is released.

Some of you may be okay with lacking darkness abilities but I don't think this AT is complete without them. And yes, I would roll another dominator to play something dark/ or /dark. And no, I don't want to wait any longer.

I hate to pull rank here, but I'm a 7 year veteran and VI-friggin-P and I demand to be treated as such! Where are my dark dominator powers? Why don't I have them yet when my patron does?

Even controllers got thrown a bone with /poison and that's not even a 'heroic' poweset!

And blasters... don't get me started. They have the most powersets already and they're getting not one but TWO! WTH.

PROTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
