things like Kinetics for Masterminds would be extremely dangerous to port directly; many changes would need to be done to make that one work

I still wants it though for a bots mm...

You want a Robotics/Fulcrum Shift -I mean, Kinetics- Mastermind? 
You know, my robots have a habit of charging off on their own randomly, and I'm just imagining what that would look like if they were Speed Boosted at the time. Like Kid Flash with a laser and ADHD.
Edit: Mind you, I'm not saying Kinetics for Masterminds is a bad idea. It would just need some... tweaks.

So unless you are talking like less than defender level damage I just dont see how. Damage will suck so bad no one will want to play it anyways?

Psychic Shockwave for Dominators is an AOE power which does damage as it if it a single target power. For Blasters, this will not be the case -- the AOE divisor will be in place. In other words, divide damage by 4.75.
Seriously. What in the hell.

Thank you, Castle, for confirming that you haven't completely lost your friggin' mind.
Can we say Teacher's (Dev's) Pet?...
...um, whatever happened to AT boundaries? Werent Blasters supposed to be all about damage? Whats with all this mostly unresisted Mezz stuff? Fear and Confuse? Cooome on!...and a Nuke and health/endurance recovery power in the secondary? If this isnt an April Fools joke I think I'll just urinate all over myself and retire from PvP right now.
WTF!!!

PSW at 50 unslotted = 70.9 damage.
So Blaster PSW would be 14.9? Is that right?

WHY NO EMP FOR CORR? ELF_STALKER
Empathy isnt a villainous trait, generally speaking. From a fiction standpoint, it will likely never be given to Villains as a set.
Back to thematics Empathy isnt really a villainous trait. From a fiction standpoint, it wasnt our first choice to port over and the reason corruptors didnt receive it in the first place as part of the release of City of Villains. If we were to add an Empathy Like set, it would need to be all new and not a port of it, to make it fit into the Villainous theme. As such, that fell out of the scope of Issue 12s powerset proliferation and is why it wasnt included.

That is consistently and intentionally overlooked. They just don't want to give empathy to villains.

Also, "arresting" people by burning them, shooting them to death, and SHOOTING RADIATION DIRECTLY INTO THE CROTCH (X-Ray Beam) doesn't really seem all that heroic. Hilarious, but not heroic.

Don't forget to adjust upward for the higher blaster damage mod. So more like 25 base.

I never thought they would create something that beats */Energy. Jeebus!
I wasn't that excited about Psi/*, but I WILL be rolling some kind of */Psi (probably rerolling my Fire/Fire), in I12.

Soooo when will the new primary be revealed since it's kinda obvious you won't be doing a direct port of defender psy blast with Subdual and Psy Scream in the secondary?

How can there possibly be only two options: overpowered, and trivially weak? There should be some values between those two. Even Goldilocks figured that one out.

I also always thought that. I thought they'd replace tk blast with Aim, but it seems that now there are 3 powers that resemble the defender version of psy blast (Subdual, Psy Scream and TK Thrust - yeah I know TK Thrust is crappy and melee and TK Blast is awesome but they'd look very similar in a Psi/Men blaster).

[/ QUOTE ]
yes it is massively lopsided but hardly suprising, dominators get powerboost on a epic class timer(dominators and controllers 120second recharge, blasters 60 seconds), get half the benefit that controllers do, every single controller primary and secondary have access to it in the epics as opposed to just ice doms, doms have lower modifiers and hit less mobs dispite both doms and controllers having control primaries.
Balance between red and blue side, and especially not fairness really doesnt exist which is funny, as its the heroic standpoint to be fighting against all odds not the villains, kinda blows "thematic" reasoning out of the water.
On the plus side I doubt perma dom will be going anywhere now (having said that watch it go bye bye)
Bah, I have to wait till beta then?

The same can be said with moving Illusions to Masterminds as a Primary powerset.
[/ QUOTE ]
I hope you meant Dominators as opposed to Masterminds, there... while I think an Illusions set could be feasibly reworked into the MM style of play, it's an easy and logical port from Controllers to Dominators that will see as much benefit from the Dom inherant as Earth/ does.
