Yep, you can now choose any Patron Pool after acquiring any of the Patron badges. While it may have made sense in a RP-sense, the old way of "You want Mako's powers? Then do Mako's arc." was quite rediculous. Especially with the Epic Power Pools automatically unlocking at 41.

My point is: You can select any patron pool once you unlock them. You don't have to run that patron just because you want those powers.

Well, it's been a while since I ran the Patron Arcs & I know that they changed where you can respec out of a specific patron into a new one.
But I did not know that you can (initially) choose whichever Patron Power Pool you wish, regardless of which Patron Arc you run.
Interesting bit of info.
[/ QUOTE ] The old way, the specific Patron's badge didn't automatically give you the powerset, it simply unlocked that set as a choice when selecting your next power.
The new way does the same thing, but simply unlocks all of them instead. Just like hero-side, once you select one, the other options disappear when selecting your next power.
I agree they were slightly unclear about that when they initially advertised the ability to respec into the sets. I'm assuming they said it that way just to clarify it for the many who had already selected one. They probably thought people would still select the Patron they initially wanted, but rest easy to know they could always change it later (not necessarily realizing they would have all 4 options once it was unlocked, because they might have already made their initial choice anyway).

If you are referring to the Crab Spider Longfang Gladiator, it is supposed to be awarded for ANY of the 4 Patron arcs, not just GW. Is it bugged?

You're probably right on that. I was going off of the paragon wiki, which only listed the gladiator for Ghost Widow and not the others. Probably just an omission there.
