Little underwhelmed by the Villain options... 
Anyway... looking forward to the next update. Here's hoping the VEATs are good.
Phantom Rose: Ill / Kin / Psi
Soleau: Ice / Icy / Ice / Core: Ice / Fire / Pyre / Wind / Eclipse / Flare / Corona

Solo Space
Oh c'mon!! /Storm MM's!!!!
/sarcasm
First there are many cool things here. Love the axes and maces.
However---Lets all hope they unscrew the non PVP-villain love with good VEATs. Crosses fingers.

Now before I go on, a lot of Brute players have been asking for Ice-based powers, and I should point out that in the City of Villains beta, there were ... problems ... with Ice Brutes. You see, when Ice attacks land, they tend to slow down the attacks of the opponent. For Tankers this is fine, but Brutes live and die by their Fury bar. The Fury bar relies on attacks coming in on you at a steady pace, and so slowing down that pace with Ice powers is self defeating. Ice Brutes had problems generating Fury, and so they were cut from City of Villains, and sadly wont be returning, even in this new Proliferation.

BTW Brutes wanted Ice armor...........not ice melee. Since that was the basis of the argument.
Brute SR in PVP? Foc Acc will eat through it.
Was the lead designer for this a blaster or something? Lets start giving the Melee ATs a chance in PVP. Give tanks electric armor and Brutes Ice armor. PRZ.....
Still-- Power Prolif for the win. The devs are in the right direction.

AWWWWWW come on, any chance we can get poison in there for controllers. Thermal is just almost an exact copy of empathy with a tad of sonic lets get something new. Besides it themes with plant nicely anyways PLEASE.
Not to mention what were you thinking for scraps/tanks? OMG the worst choices ever. First off fire armor is going to be rediculously weak for scrappers. Fire melee? come on thats what spines is for.
For tanks, i can see dark melee, but dark armor? How many freaking nerfs should we expect to keep it from being overpowered on a tank? /FTL

villains got PWNED once again... gg devs 
well at least it's obivous that you guys hate the villains now.
Um, shouldn't Dominators get an ASSAULT secondary set? Why the Electrical Manipulation?

If they can't use Ice Melee because of the fury issues.. they WILL toss the armor as well.
Oh well. BBQ-Scrapper FTMFW!11!

We're sorry. Due to the lack of adequate marketing, user patience has died 90+ days ago. Please try again sans "Soon."
So, Lighthouse, any chance of us finding out what-all powers are in Mental Manipulation?
I have cake. It's not a lie.
BackAlleyBrawler: I can't facepalm this post hard enough.
ShoNuff: If sophisticated = bro-mantically emo-tastic, then I'm going to keep to my Shonen loving simplicity dammit.
How long before we actually get to see the power list for each set? It is nice to know what sets we get but I got the feeling it wont be just straight ports on alot of this stuff. Based on what we saw on this site, I am just going to be nice and not say anything about how I really think about this news but know this alot of villains are crying right about now.
Bump and Grind Bane/SoA
Kenja No Ishi Earth/Empathy Controller
Legendary Sannin Ninja/Pain Mastermind
Entoxicated Ninja/PSN Mastermind
Ninja Ryukenden Kat/WP Scrapper
Hellish Thoughts Fire/PSI Dominator
Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!
I'm not advocating anything here, but I think there's a strong chance that the next time Dr. Brainstorm shows his face in the Rogue Isles he's going to get his [censored] kicked.
I find the options villains have been given somewhat underwhelming, considering the new hero sets. The Buff/DeBuffs, formerly exclusive to villains, seem a particuarly pronounced example. They're arguably villains best tools for team-based PvP, and villains seem to have acquired little in return for them.
I am curious about how they're going to change an AoE intensive brute primary into a single-target stalker set (electric melee).
Controllers shouldn't have got Thermal.
Stalkers shouldn't have got Elec / Elec.
Tanks didn't want DA / DM.
Other than that, it's okay.
Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster
"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
I really hope they someday make new PB/WS only primary and secondaries. I always wanted a melee only human build or a ranged only human build for my pb.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
This is great stuff!
Stormie corruptors is awesome!
For many of the sets, I'll have no interest, but I like the direction in which the game is going!

As I've said in other threads, I am VERY unhappy that once again, no punchy sets for scrappers. It's only been asked for since CoH hit beta, I know these things take time.
My arcs are constantly shifting, just search for GadgetDon for the latest.
The world beware! I've started a blog

I hate to be so negative, but my entire villain group and coalition (about 80+ players) is going insane after this announcement...
Sorry, but this is flat out retarded....and I love my heroes, so I know where my time will be spent after I12, but damn devs, come on....

i do too =P
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Kay. Little disappointed about villains. I want to see numbers and any tweaking, as well as test thoroughly before I make any decisions...but um...yeah.
Looking forward to hearing about the VEATS!

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement.
GameZone.com follows up with the second installment of Powerset Proliferation news with a complete recap from Doctor Brainstorm! This includes some of the reasoning behind which sets went to what Archetype, including:

Oh, I seem to have forgotten about Defenders. They now get access to Cold Domination and Ice Blast allowing them to put Ice and Glacial shields on their allies, as well as throw Ice Bolts and Freeze Rays. I always said it would be a cold day in Paragon City when Defenders would get access to Cold-based powers, and I guess my prediction came true!
