There are 10 classic ATs, 5 for each faction. Each of the 10 ATs has a Primary and Secondary Set. That's 20 Sets.

Brute Primary is getting 2 proliferated powersets (Mace & Axe). Brute Secondary will still get a proliferated Set.

MM Primary is getting no proliferated powersets (none to proliferate!). MM Secondary will still get a proliferated Set.

So, since Brute Primary is getting 2 and MM primary is getting none and all the rest are getting one, then there will by 20 proliferated Sets.

Now, the proliferation is supposed to be a straight port, although, for balance issues and limitations of certain sets we can expect these changes as a Set is proliferated:

1. Blaster and Dominator Secondaries are unique. So, the Devs are going to cobble together a proliferated set for each by mixing and matching powers from other Set Categories.

2. Stalker sets will have to be modified to include an Assassin Strike power and a Placate power. Similarly, if a Stalker Set is given to another AT, the Assassin Strike and Place will have to replaced by other powers.

3. A Set moving from a Primary to a Secondary position will probably be weakened, and vice versa.

4. Play testing may buff or nerf certain ported powers due to balance concerns.

Wow, I've never actually played a Controller or Dominator with Mine Control before, Zombie. That must be sweet!

If doms are getting 1 primary and one secondary does that mean that doms are going to get illusion?

Do we get a new Powerset from our respective alternates?

(Brute/Stalker/Tanker/Scrapper)
(Def/Corr)
(Dom/Troller)

or is it more like we get a new powerset from a different AT? I've been asking this and no one wants to answer.

Well, only the red names know and there not talking. I would assume that melee ATs will be melee sets.

What is even harder to understand is why this information would require a spreadsheet at all...

Man A Fiery/Regen Scrapper that might server to be a pretty nice combo including the maces and Battle Axes on Villians.
