Some updates made.

oh oh ... options 2, tie them into a SSA one steampuck themed story, one victorian themed, etc. You get the point. that way they're guarunteed to get the development cost back, IE: They would have to develope the scenery for the SSAs, and then just make them a reward for completeing the SSA.

In the first SSA they made whole new lava effect and the DOT damage associated. In the sewer trial, they added the pillars of fire in the last SSA they made the alter prison along with the Arachnos base, table, chairs. So, them making a SSA themed to each costume pack could open up decor options. I think it would the best fit to make it happen without debating the cost.

That's a very good point ... they could add an element to the store where you (as a base leader) can buy it for ONE base. kinda like the character specific items, just base specific. It would take some coding, but could be done, and there is a market for it. I wouldn't buy any, but I know people that would.

Focused Defense:
The damage types are separated as follows: (Physical), {elemental}, and <mental>. The effects will be adjusted by the "adjust focus" toggles “like” DP fire/ice/chem.
Powers in between these “0><0” I’m open to suggestion, meaning I’m not sure what a fair number is.

1) Focus Defense: [toggle] (10% def to S/L) {10% def to E/N/F/I} <5%def TO PSY>
Example: if (Physical) was selected then the new numbers would be (20% def S/L) {5% def
E/N/F/I} <0% def psy>

2) Focus resistance [auto] (20% res to S/L) {20% res to E/N/F/I} <10% res to psy>

3) Focus fitness: [auto] (10% regen) {10% end} <5% HP>

4) Adjust focus.
a) (physical) takes 50% {elemental} and 100% <psy> and adds it to (physical)

b) {elemental} takes 50% (physical) and 100% <psy> and adds it to {elemental}

c) <mental> takes 50% of both (physical) and {elemental} and adds it to <psy>.

5) Focused taunt: [toggle] (10% damage buff per target) {10% recovery per target} <5% dam debuff on targets>

6) Focused clarity: [auto] (6 mag protection to: hold, immobilize, stun, disorient, defense DE buff, KB) {6 mag protection to: recovery DE buff, to Hit DE buff, perception, recharge, movement, endurance} <3 mag protection to: sleep, confuse, fear, taunt, placate, TP>

7) bring balance: [toggle] (20% resistance to S/L/F/I) {20% resistance to S/L/E/N} <10% resistance to psy/E/N/F/I>

8) Focused attack: [click] PBAoE. (50 damage) {0> recovery DE buff<0} <0>regen debuff<0>

9) Pure clarity: [click] 40% res to all but toxic, 30% def, capped HP. (100% damage bonus) {100% regen bonus} <50% recharge bonus> ((end drain of 50 and not effected by recharge))

Thanks for reading let me know if it needs any clarifying.

from what I can tell, the only thing that would need to be coded in, is the tracking in the effects options ... but the power itself would just be resisted before it hits, like SR does a tohit check before it hits. Also, there would be no need to add positional def to the defender powers, just like there are non for defense. The only concern would be IF you had stacked enough type resistance to reach 90 CAP you would be able to pass that SLIGHTLY with the positional resistance. But, that assumes you have enough Defender types to accomplish that. Example: attack damage is 100, after positional resistance of 50% you have 50 damage left over. Of that 50 damage 90% is resisted. therefor you have 5 damage left. So, as long as you have a team buffing you ... you could hit 95% resistance. NEVER 100%. It could be OP on teams, but not solo. and not in PVP

My only concern is trying to match the concept with every type. IE, mutant magic, natural, etc.

The resistance stacking would work the same as my rage defense set. The set would check position of attack, ans resist, say, 50% then any remaining damage would be then resisted based on team or inspiration given resistance. Example: energy blaster does 100 (ranged/smashing) damage. The ranged resistance would reduce it from 100 to 50 damage, then tough would take 20% off that leaving 40 damage. effectively being 60% resistance.

TF contacts should give you there number immeadiatly ... I see no reason to have to run all the way back to them even once, if the team is locked ... team lock IMPLIES you are commited to completing the tasks given. That would help a lot. and remove delivering material ... just annoying

I'm "in like flin" <--not sure where that started ... but, yes basically ... it would be cool.

I like the positional resistence concept. I tried to suggest one too and got the same haters. LOL

That being said, you, like my set did, have too many other abilities in this set. SR has the same M/R/AoE over and over again. no health bonus, no endurance, no worth while taunt and its fairly expensive. So, I will support this set IF, either they fix SR to have similar (additional) powers as this, or You make it so it's only concerned about the positional resistance. or if they make brute and tank SR able to hit 45% def without having to add more defensive powers.

the current SR set isn't on par with other sets. Other sets have HP bonuses, REAL taunt auras (not suggestive ones) and are more well rounded. My purposed change.

[add suggestions you might like to see in the set to make it more balanced]

Order of powers is based on the Brute I was using at the time, scrappers are different, but the concept remains.

Focused fighting: remans the same

Focused senses: remains the same

Agile: Combine ALL the effects of Agile, Dodge, and Evation into one power. It can still be called "Agile"

Practise Brawler: remains the same.

[empty slot from merging into Agile] Battle awarness: {toggle} taunt aura, enemy damage debuff, Self +HP

[empty slot from merging into Agile] Battle rediness: {auto} self endurance cost discount.

Quickness: remains the same

Elude: remains the same

I think this would be balanced ... seeing that shield can have the same defence with some base resistance, Higher base HP and the best taunt aura in the game. Can this happen pls
