Hi there! Long time reader, first time poster.

I'm a 24 month vet (well, close enough), and I would like some input on how to slot certain Ancillary Pool Powersets. If I have any extra slots, how should I slot the powers in the Leadership Pool? (Yes, I'm taking all 4 for my Rad/Rad Defender.)

Other Ancillary Pool Powersets will follow.

edit: I changed the name of the thread so hopefully more peeps will read and respond to it.

First off, welcome to the forums!

Secondly, you're going to get some interesting responses here, mainly because you're not yet familiar with the forum lingo. In this case, Ancillary Pools are the power pools that heroes get access to at level 40+.

Power Pools, on the other hand, are the pools like Flight and Leadership, that you can get starting at level 6.


Secondly, here's how I'd slot these powers with single-origin (SO) enhancements or basic invention (IO) enhancements if I got them all:


Maneuvers: 2 Endurance Reduction (EndRed), 3 Defense Buff (DefBuff)

Assault: 2 EndRed

Tactics: 2 EndRed, 2 ToHit Buffs

Vengeance: 3 Recharge Reduction (RecRed)


If you go with IO sets, then Maneuvers, Tactics, and Vengeance can get some interesting slotting choices.

D'OH! I knew that. I am such a moron sometimes. I meant Power Pool.

Luck of the Gambler, or Red Fortune for the Defense based powers (manuevers, vengeance) and either adjusted targetting, or gaussians sets for Tactics works great.

Depending on what set bonuses you are building on, the leadership pool gives you alot of great options.

Sometimes very expensive great options... but great nonetheless.

One thing to keep in mind when going for set bonuses from IOs is that you will need to slot many powers 5 or 6 slots to get the best bonuses. Plan accordingly.

k. I will be asking about the Epic Pools too at some point.

You've been warned.
