Warning, Illusion & Mind customs

Well, apparently Illusion and Mind custom mobs weren't tough enough before, now even the Minions get confuse/deceive on standard. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those extreme powers? Before they were only available to Boss up on extreme.

I had a couple of minions with illusion at standard in one of my arcs; they're now officially more dangerous than Malta sappers. Speaking of sappers, Kinetic minions get Transference (-50% end drain) on standard as well.

Ah well, I guess that's a few more powersets on the "do not use" list for custom mobs.

There's a few thread floating around about this. Check the test server area.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

That's kind of strange, what with the exploits available to a confused player...

Its in the game so the devs allowed it.....till they unallow it and ban you from the game or not......

Gods are so fickle

Actually, I wanted Deceive on my custom Boss originally, but I couldn't get it without getting all powers (and I didn't want Phantasm). I can get it now, but I have to set it to Standard, which means I lose the Terror, but don't get the Phant. Oh wells. >_<

Now confuse-using minions would be a concern, especially if multiple ones show up in the same spawn. o_O

I have no problem with it being available to bosses at higher difficulty settings, but giving it to minions at standard is a bit much. Suddenly having a spawn of 4 minions all attack with deceive is pretty much an "I Win" button for them; the team is helpless to attack anyone but each other while the spawn wipes you out.

Ah well, I had to pull my Martial Arts mobs because their throwing stars were one-shotting squishies so now I'll pull those minions as well. Hmm, what set could I change the illusion minions to and keep some of the same feel...
