Toning down toggle-drops?
Awesome.

Toggle droppign was a bit rough with the lowered defenses now, this coming from a PvP Toggle-Dropping Blaster Fool. I would make it that the Blapper punches only have a 75% Chance to drop one toggle for one of the punches, and a 50% chance on the other. So its possible no toggles will be dropped, and the Tank/Brute/Scrapper can do something during the fight, rather than re-toggling everything.
BUFFING BLIZZARD?!?!?! I thought this day would never come! I'm so glad I rolled another Ice Blaster now! (After having deleted my original at level 42).
Good job States.
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

My womb just skipped a beat.
I don't even have a womb.
Try to make toggle-dropping more power-based and less random.
I'd like to see Tanks get one high magnitude attack that can stun the other melee-ers through status protection. Sort of an Assassin Strike, but high magnitude instead of high damage. It would really bump up their threat level in PvP, without much effect on PvE.
But I could be bias towards Tanks...

Never really been affected by toggle dropping (used against me), but I'll still give it a Hurray!! for being another nice change.
However, does this mean the accursed PFF Master Mind will be even harder to defeat?
Who are you, and what have you done to the States that was on a nerfing spree?
If you tone down toggle dropping to make it to an extreme like 1 toggle 50%, and please buff electrics end drain and their primaries damage. And replace Voltiac Sentinal with something good!

This is the real Statesman! You can thank me, I just saved him from Tyrant!
Is the toggle drop change a PVP or PVE thing, or both...?

Blizzard apparently doesn't benefit from +dmg buffs applied to the user - so, Build Up, Aim, Fortitude, Fulcrum Shift, etc, don't do anything for it.
I could be mistaken, though.

As he stated it, I believe that's a correct interpretation. Droppable powers and pseudo-pet powers have had problems accomodating buffs.

So burn won't suck as much as it does now?

Nope, that sounds about right.
If I'm not mistaken, I think most all of the "rain"-type powers are similarly unbuffable. That part, I'm less sure of.

And that part will make me giddie as a school girl! And I'm not even in school! *is giddie as a school girl over Rain powers, even a few, getting buffed by build up*

Thats exactly what it means. All "Summon" type skills that require a reticle can not be buffed from Self Buffs. Blizzard, Ice Storm, Trip Mine (I believe), Burn, etc. If it shows up in your Status Bar, then it wouldn't be affected by Build Up, I believe.
Fiery Embrace buffing Burn? Now you're talking.
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

I wonder how far this will extend. Using inspirations or self-buffs before casting controller/dominator pets comes to mind...

You say that like it would be overpowered. Maybe actually have something to do with those Enrages as an Ice Controller now.
