maybe it isnt one of those exclusive things.....
as for the new power sets.... a red name has neither confirmed or denied that list.
[/ QUOTE ]
That sounded like a confirmation to me...closer than anything we usually get from Statesman, at least....
I'll be disappointed if we can't make a Bow blaster (and I'm a little iffy on whether there are enough "Trick Arrow" ideas to make a full Defender primary without becoming hokey), but if it means Sonics go to Blasters...
[/ QUOTE ]
Psychic Blast is a Defender secondary that has no paired theme primary and isn't available to Blasters. Sonics could be the same way.

Due to the upcoming Power Sets Manticore is actually a Trick Arrow, Archery Defender.
[/ QUOTE ]
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, that's just weird. So we're going to be seeing Trick Arrow/Energy defenders running around? Trick Arrow/Psi?
But no Archery/Devices?
Cohesive hero concepts seem to be non-critical design objectives. 
Can we have Turkey/Gameshow controllers next?

Luminary is actually a Energy Blast, Energy Manipulation Blaster.
[/ QUOTE ]
Who do we have to bribe for them to write a scene where Luminary unleashes an AoE, knocking all the enemies out of the Tanker's range so they lose the aggro and the entire party gets wiped out? Um, just asking.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought for sure SONIC was going to be the Defender Set and Archery was going to BLASTERS. Whoo-boy, this is big news. I'm definitely rolling me an Archery/Archery Defender, baby!
[/ QUOTE ]
My thoughts exactly! 
And Swan being a Kinetics!?!? Oh yeah...I knew I liked her for a reason

Archery for a Defender? I thought it was going to be a Blaster powerset.
[/ QUOTE ]
Blasters already have a swiss army-knife set. Two, actually. Defenders don't.
61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)

[/ QUOTE ]
I disagree. Every defender primary is a "Swiss army knife" set.
That's one of the reasons why so many blasters like the defender-y Devices track; it's not a bunch of tempting melee stuff that will get you killed... it's a support set.
[ QUOTE ]
Sister Psyche is an interesting case due to the fact that she has switched bodies. Baseline she is a Mind Control, Force Field Controller.
[/ QUOTE ]
That explains why she's in the hospital at least.

/em looks at the colour of Manticore's name.
Don't forget guys, that Defender's Secondaries, are Blaster Primaries (some exceptions, No Assault Rifle for Defenders, no Psychic for Blasters.).
But the Archery could be a new Blaster Primary, that is also available as a Defender's Secondary.

Couple questions for Manticore if he's still reading this:
Could you give a short backstory for Blue Steel and Ravenstorm? Those two are still pretty much unknowns.
Is the redheaded Sister Psyche we know also an immortal, or just not actually the first to use the name? She doesn't look anywhere near eighty.
of course, I don't think Brawler looks like he's over fifty either.
Wait are blasters going to get sonic then? I bet manticore changed it cuz he realized blasters are teh gimp.

Is the back alley brawler an Incarnate like statesman or a tanker?
Will he appear in the new comic from top cow.
Three Dev posts NOT telling people to behave. Easily the beast thread I ever started. :::Beams:::
I suspect that yes, Archery is both a Defender secondary and a Blaster primary. It'll be all about the damage, really, with perhaps a little something odd mixed in. You pull, you release, the mob goes down.
I suspect that Trick Shot will be all about the status effects and stealths and what have you. Perhaps not quite like a Controller powerset might be, but there won't be a lot of damage involved. I'm thinking heavy on the debuffs rather than the buffs... targeted area stuff. Think gas clouds and boxing gloves.
I suspect both involve the same basic bow for animation.
All guesswork, of course. I'd just lay heavy bets on it.

The Surviving Eight are: Statesman, Positron, Synapse, Sister Psyche, Citadel, Manticore, Numina and Back Alley Brawler. They all agreed to remain in Paragon City after the Rikti War, to coordinate the efforts of the new heroes arriving every day.
Ms. Liberty is in fact Statesman's Sidekick but she leads a group of heroes herself. They are called the Vindicators: Minx, Valkyrie, Swan, Infernal, Luminary and most recently Aurora Borealis.
[/ QUOTE ]
But what about Ghost Falcon? And 
darn it can't remember her name. She's in Brickstown near the hospital, and sells the magic ehancements.

Ghost Falcon's just a guy who hangs around. The same with the girl (Forget her name but know who you're talking about.)
Ghost Falcon is the Praetorian version of Invisible Falcon from our world. (SPOILERS) In our world Invisible Falcon investigated Crey and wound up dead. In the Praetorian Dimension, the evil Ghost Falcon was kidnapped by the alternate reality Countess (who's a freedom fighter) and turned to good)
Serafina is the contact in Bricks. She's a powerful Genie who can help you.

Huh, I never made the connection between the two Falcons. Cool stuff.
Now...what about PENNY PRESTON!?! Will that freaky little kid be in the comic?

There is a chance we might have i4 before the comic is released - there will be tons of freaky little kids running around by then - i myself have plans for at least 2 - poor Penny will loose her status as the only child character in Paragon - but she can still claim she was the first.

Kinda makes the "Nimble Mynx" badge a bit silly, no? (Though "Regenerating Mynx" sounds worse, I admit...)
[ QUOTE ]
I had always assumed their sets were the same one used by their Praetorian counterparts.
[/ QUOTE ]
Some are/probably are. Infernal is most likely a Fire/Axe tank on both sides. Positron is a Rad/Rad like Anti-Matter. Luminary is Eng/Eng like Blackstar.
Others (like Swan) wouldn't make much sense with their Praetorian counterpart's powers.
