The Seers are lts, the Mistresses are bosses, I believe, so Doms will get an LT for GW. I cannot remember if the toxic tarantula is a boss or lt.

It's a boss. I'm completely confused by the pet allocation.

So people expect to get disappointed by everything, Sally.

It's an internet forum. What's it good for if not for posting porn and complaining?

Likewise.

They've combined a one-size-fits-none approach with thematic straightjacketing.

I'm particularly disappointed with the Mastermind powers. Free clue, devs: the AT with the lowest hit points in the game does not need AE powers.

What up with giving Doms the boss pet in all sets except Mako's? (Corrupters get the Red Coralax boss, Doms get the Blue lieutenant.)

[/ QUOTE ]

I would say it’s because Doms desperately need something.

Perhaps it’s a little nod to the fact that they’re so underpowered in comparison to the other Villain ATs.

Thanks Awry, just as I predicted

Heroes are more screwed than it appears. A Team of 8 Villains will be having a team of at least 8 Pet's. So conflicts with Villains will be more chaotic than one would think.

Second is the use of Web Grenades or Web Grenade style power is currently underestimated. Most of the descriptions of these powers clearly states that the Web Cocoon is a more powerful one. It also sounds like it gets more range. It's a Hold, a -recharge, a slow, a -Jump, and a -Fly. Plus the Corruptor set get's two of them, one which is going to be an AOE....

Damn it and I just lvled my Ill/TA...

Ok...It may have been mentioned, but did anyone, upon seeing the power "Summon Blaster" imediately picture tossing synapse? Anybody...?Just me?

Same powers heros get.

build up, conserve power, Powerboost, focused accuracy..

Any of the good powers? anything to make it worth being locked into all the power and not being able to change.

So we are locked in and have weaker sets than heros

I just dont see the fairness here.

ill tell you what i expected ..now granted im not a simple blaster like taser so i may actually want something besides hiding behind tanks all day


anywhoooooo

i thought maybe something to actually help define my powers

i have a merc/traps..so maybe to help with it

maybe targetting drone or cloaking device...you get it?

just something that makes sense to go with the build

instead i can get tenticales

frikkin yippie


oh and taser...not everyone has to agree..so stop thinking your moire then you are and hit the road...people pay and have the right to complain if they want ..they do pay for this duh..its not about your simplistic attempt at kiddie logic

For the foreseeable future, people are going to be permanently locked into power pools that are by and large inferior to the hero versions - which are fully respeccable.

By this repetition of your usual mantra against whiners - are you implying that you think this is good and fair? Or just condemning all complaints? Or some third option?

Awry can you tell us what power the woman surrounded by strands of light (last picture down) is using? I'm hoping it's one of Ghost Widows... basically I'm wondering how different the power animations are from their base power... I like swirly light but not so much the shadow and darkness that comes with the dark powers.

And of course, you would not have gone on a "the devs are lazy and unimaginative" rant if they gave the exact same powers that CoH has, would you.

OH NO I GET AN ATTACK THAT KICKS ALL SORTS OF [censored] INSTEAD OF STEALTH OR TACTICS

Wow, I was pretty excited here until I read the mastermind powers. Without a new pet for the fourth power, or other pet related powers, I find it hard to justify taking any of them. I am sure the protective buffs would be nice, but the rest of the patron powers MMs get just scream "shoot at me".

Honestly, my level 41 - 50 power slots would probably be smarter spent on more powers from my primary, secondary and common pools.

Really not impressed at all with the cookie-cutter selections provided. Moreover, not at all impressed with the selections provided to Brutes.

I am a Brute. I have LOTS of attack powers available, and already taken, in my repetoire. I really don't need any more. Utility powers, something interesting to use other than trying to add more attacks to an already set attack chain, doesn't provide any usefulness to me at all, whatsoever. As each Brute option is a single target attack, an AOE or cone attack, one power that could be considered mildly utilitarian in nature, and then a summon - I find almost nothing of any value to me.

I so saw it but didn't want to beat a dead horse. Heck, half my jokes on this forum is about Synapse's vaunted Limp Body Patron Power [TM]

See?? I can't stop!

Im actually wondering

IS this an APRIL FOOLS JOKE?

I cant believe they would actually put out powersets this bad, and not have then changeable.

They are so inferior to the hero versions that are changeable. I just dont see it.

Thats Soul Storm, its identical to what you saw in the E3 CoV trailer where you saw Synapse do a Leeroy.

I would if they just cut and paste.

But at least it would be fair.

Instead they just cut and pasted all the mediocre powers and just added in the minions.

I mean come on they could of at least put in some of the good powers.

In the lobby of the watchtower in Grandville is a statue of each of Lord Recluse's lieutenants. At the base of this statue is a plaque that, when you click on, brings up a text box with tabs. The tabs are for the Archetype, and it goes into detail about the powers (including the hard numbers) that that Patron will give that Archetype. (Thus you can easily look at all the patron powers for your AT, and even those not for your AT).

You are given a mission to visit each of these plaques before you choose your patron.

What if you don't like the patron you choose?
