Any ideas for some new powers (all what if's)

Dark Empathy
===========

What if Empathy was about damaging the enemy with twisted versions of the powers we know? Some blasting, some debuffing. And yes, way too overpowered.

Damaging Aura - Damaging Aura is a PbAoE attack power that radiates from the dark empath.
PBAoE, Damage Moderate.

Hurt Other - Hurt Other is a single target attack power that requires line of sight to use. Single Target, Moderate Damage.

Cause Pain - Cause Pain is a single target attack power that requires line of sight to use. Single Target, Heavy damage. Minor Heal to self. Offset by making it an interuptable snipe.

Kill - Very short range, very long recharge, single target Extreme damage.

Cloud Mind - Single Target special, requires line of site. Disorient foe.

Cripple - Single target debuff . Line of sight to use, and greatly debuffs damage, accuracy and defense. This can be stacked with another Dark Empath's cripple, but not with your own. -DEF -ACC -DMG

Lethargic Aura - PBAoE debuff, affected foes have debuffed endurance recovery. -REC endurance.

Wasting Aura - The second PBAoE debuff. It doesnt cause damage but does reduce health recovery. -REC health.

Adrenalin Sap - Single Target ranged debuf. This power requires line of sight to use. It greatly reduces endurance recovery, health regeneration, and increases the recharge time of the target's powers.-REC health, -REC endurnace, -rate.

Robot Mastery (Controller-esque character)

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



Mind over matter- Your body is weak, but your mind is strong. This is a power you're force to take and will drastically lower your defense.

OVERRIDE- It'd be like Mass Confuse, but it'd only work on robotic enemies. Watch the ensuing chaos as the clockwork minions turn on their king.

REPAIR- A minor single target heal on most allies, however villains of a technology origin will recieve much greater heals.



GEARS- Summon 2-4 miniature robots which do minor damage to enemies.

BUFF BOT- Summon a floating spherical robot which will sporatically buff you and allies. Can buff damage, defense, or accuracy.

Stealth Bot- Summon a stealthy robot which can taser your enemies.

BLAST BOT- Summon a robot with powerful arsenal attacks.

BRUTE BOT- Summon a large robot that can tank and will constantly taunt enemies. Can't attack or do damage.

I love a lot of the ideas so far such as whips and character duplicating, and dim mak. shapshifting. ect.

Id like to see some summoning power<like pets but a lot of small creatures that move like 1> some plant based powers
like entangle foe,

in addition to a whip id love to see more exotic wepons, throwing nets, blow darts, bolas, polearms, chockrams<sp?>
throwing stars/darts, these would fit more with the contrroller/defenders because they are not as lethal but they tend to have a lot of debuff/disarm/tripping/entangl;ing potential, be nice to see a healer with a blunt weapon ala the old fasioned D&D clerics,

also be nice to see more lazer/machine based powers as nice as is is having energy ozze out of you some people may want to play it more normal joe with cool machines ( a very popular theme among super heroes thanks to batman/star trek/ and other modern scifi and comic themes) while bows really are a great start id love to see more.

Can we have a few light powersets that are significantly worse than all the darker powersets at release, but then are fixed and become good? Naturally, this is coming from a Dark Miasma fan

I'd like to see some more options for tanker primaries.

Force Field tankers

Think Radiation/Radiation Melee

Electricity/electricity melee

A version of both Dark Miasma for tankers.

Some more melee sets too, like a giant [censored] sword set that has the weilder holding it with two hands.

How about a Nemesis Force Staff Master? Everyone seems to love the temp power. I would love an arch-type that used it all the time. The energy rifle idea was good too! Like the Councils’ that shoot different energy type bullets. You guys have some great ideas, keep them coming.

Scrapper - Katar Master

Quick Strike - single fast strike. May cause bleeding
Scissors - Double cross strike. Heavy damage may cause bleeding
Face slash - Low damage strike that causes eyes to be covered in blood -acc
Weapon Block - Toggle +Def
Leg sweep - Blade sweep Medium damage +Knockdown
Switchblade - Punch that pops the blades into your foe causing Extreme damage
Blade Dance - Toggle +Atk +Dmg
Flying Guilitine - Killing move Extreme damage +stun

great idea, a big cloud-like sword, huge, like 10 foot long

It's not that they have to be significantly worse, they just have to be horribly mangled and broken in every thinkable way.

I'll get to relive the glory days of Dark Miasma, 'cause my villain is getting the brightest powersets I can find!

hmm...not new power set but maybe Epic addition for
Katana could go -

(Large Katana) Nodachi - damage
(2 katana) Nito ryu - defense
(Zatoichi style) iaijitsu style - speed

and broadsword could go
Claymore
Sword and shield
Rapier

I have always wanted a full speedsters power set so I could make a speedster and not have to deal with gimpy power pool attacks like flurry. Should have some nice fast punches and kicks with some cool special speed attacks like the whirlwind hands that knock a someone back and the charging attack etc.

What happened to the dual pistol set? No mention of it in the I5 update page.

If you used two selectable clips per gun, you could easily hit up to 8 different powers, using one or two rounds per pistol at a time.

Each clip would hold bullets of a basic type, then hitting the target with two rounds would combine the effects into a new. on target effect.

Base effects could be smashing/lethal, fire, cold, and electricity, for the first four powers.

Higher level powers would include combining bullets psi damage, extra knockback, a villain resistant-piercing attack (ignores 50% of villain's resistance), or disorientation.

Slug - smashing/lethal
Hot Shot - smashing/fire
Cold Pellet - smashing/cold
Jolt Bolt - smashing/electricity
Slammer - smashing/(high) knockback
Piercing - smashing/lethal, ignores 50% of villain's resistance
Mystic Bolt - enchanted, negative energy
needle - toxic/(high) stun

Will Incarnates or Blood of the Black stream be in the cov beta?

Ok i'm not tring to take away from star wars but maybe a power set like persuasion because i think that would be so cool, cuz you could convince A.I to join you for a cerian amount of time or you could weaken there mind so the are weeker to some of you attacks, you could put that under controller and then as a secondary power set you could have a kinnda Psi. thing so when you did weaken their minds they would take more damage to thouse types of attacks and at level 32 you could have mass persausion were you would get a tanker to herd a hole bunch of hellions or somthin together and you could persuade them all... Also it would not last that long for the AoE persuasion because then that would just be to goodLongggg reacharge on it) And if it missed then it would leave them confused like what thunderclap does... ^_^ hope you like it
-Weaken mind
-Confuse
-Persuade
-Dominate Mind
-Persuade Hero (low chance of hitting)
-Mind Tormentor (pet)
-Mind Decoy (make them think there is some villan there so they try to attack it but it would be all in their head)
-Mass Pursuasion
Please post comments if you like maybe Statesman will read this and get some new ideas hehe ^_^

This obviously hasn't been fully thought through nor tweaked, but I thought I'd share what I had worked on only a month or so ago.

Fang
Ranged, Minor (Lethal)
Recharge: Fast
- Fires a single bullet at target.

Snake Bite
Ranged, Moderate (Lethal)
Recharge: Moderate
- Fire a shot at target, 180 spin, then fire a shot behind you.

Rubber Bullet
Ranged, Minor (Lethal/Smash), Foe Disorient
Recharge: Slow
- "Non-lethal" shot that can disorient a target.

Piercing Fang
Ranged, High (Lethal/Smash), -RES
Recharge: Very Long
- The first bullet dents. The second bullet penetrates.

Warning Shot
Self +DMG +ACC
Recharge: Long
- Make sure your opponent knows you're serious, now.

Dragon Strike
Ranged, Minor (Lethal), Foe Immobilize, -SPD, -Recharge
Recharge: Moderate
- A quick burst of fire hits target's limbs, disabling them.

Trigger Happy
PBAoE Ranged, High DoT (Lethal)
Recharge: Very Long
- A 720º attack that involves various stances and numerous clips.

Potshot
Ranged, Moderate (Lethal), High Critical Rate
Recharge: Fast
- Fires a random shot. 25% chance to hit; criticals if successful.

Twin Serpents
Ranged, Superior (Lethal/Energy/Smash), Minor Disorient, -RES, -DEF
Recharge: Long
- At the expense of some of your HP (50% of your max; you CAN die from it), you fire a charged shot from both pistols simultaneously at target, causing them to be severely weakened.

There was a Gun Kata set to go with it, but it'd sorta be like Super Reflexes for Blasters or some such. Silly idea... plus, I never finished the idea.

The ninth power in that line is called Touch of Grammaton, right?


Any set, pistols or otherwise, involving cone or line-shaped (Really narrow cone?) AoEs that come from sides of your body other than the front would be very interesting. Front and back and left and right would be the most obvious, any direction plus down (I'd love to shoot someone while jumping over them) or asymmetric attacks would also be cool.

The other thing I'd really like is an attack that teleports you to the target, sort of Mortal Kombat like. Or at least a "Combat Teleporting" without the hover and with a much shorter animation.

I've heard the rumor of dual pistols in CoV, that would be great, plus a knife pool, be it secondary or primary, secondary could involve throwing knifes, primary could be a melee-type pool.

I want a Nerf Bat primary!

There no pistol Set in Works, I beleive State's Confirmed this in the last "Ask Statesman Post"
I beleive his works where: Dont exspect this Anytime Soon. That sounds like never to me.

How about a set of magic controller powers? Dr. Strange always had mystical cages and such he trapped demons in. There should be some spell based power sets don't you think?

for a scrapper type power how about a pole. i always wanted to beat someone up with a long stick

They probably avoid it due to all the crude "my pole" jokes that would be just to easy. That or they worry about the slander of the Polish.

Well you could call it a Bo Staff

ooo ouch yeah good point

ok then ill settle for some sharp sissors then

oh wait nunchuks! <--- not sure of spelling

Don't think of them as warm fuzzy protective spheres, think of them as sheets and bubbles of force. You could make concussive missiles out of them, use them to throw enemies into the air and them slam them down, crush enemies with them, and whatever else you can think of! Think Force Missiles, think Lance of Disruption!

I really really like the force-bubble shot that is in now, where it knocks 'em down and prevents them from fighting back.. it's ALMOST overpowered, because if you totally dedicate your FF Def to knockdowns, and let someone else do the actual damage, it's pretty easy to wipe out baddies without them ever getting a single attack off. (granted, some of the big bads at the higher levels are resistant to KB but it's fun while you can) OTOH, I totally agree, I'd love to be able to pull a Shield Inversion and make my bubble into a long, pointy spike of puncturing-bad-guys'-spleens. I'd also love to see a Force Guillotine, where you just whip a force-sheet at them, edge-on. (*Shlukkkt*)

[ QUOTE ]
If you have the ability to create and control sheets of force, would you rather make a bubble around an ally or trap an enemy within one and then constrict it?

[/ QUOTE ]

The thing with making the sphere smaller is you have to leave an opening to the marinara can squirt out... I always thought it'd be funny to do the Goldfish Effect: Trap the enemy in a globe, and then make the globe bounce around violently, slamming them repeatedly against the inside of the bubble.
