Pain Incarnate. Oohhh I like. I like a lot. From the looks it will most definately be a set I'm going to try (though I already was planning to.)
It sounds like a rather interesting set to play

Soothing Aura: While this power is active all nearby allies will be healed by Soothing Aura every couple of seconds for a small portion of their health

Wonder how high the heal will be on this? Can see this being a must have power for masterminds surrounded by their pets.
Overall looks rather interesting, the recharge buff should be very usefull too.

Enforced Morale: Frees and ally from any disorient hold, sleep, fear, confuse and immobilize effects and leaves them resistant to such effects for a good while. Also, grants the target clearer perception to see hidden foes and minor recharge and movement speed boost. Protection and Movement boost will improve with multiple applications and as you advance in level, although the recharge and movement boost will only apply for the first few applications. If the ally is not damaged, Enforce moral will cause them some......

I hope the bit you cant read dont render that useless.
Interestin set. Fits nicely with the mindset that CoV does not have true defenders.
So..
Buff ally, buff ally, Fireball!!!!!
Now that is a win win situation. I might give that class a try now.
...pain.
I really should do something about this signature.
Just noticed that there is no equivalent to recovery aura or adrenalin boost, so no blue love there.
Zhaan, Chakyra, Fiorina 161, Aeryn, Polly Nation, Dee Pression, Shazanne, Night Jester and too many more to mention.

Valley of the Harpies 74519

Painbringer gives +recovery.

Hang on. Did the devs just create a SpamHeal power?
I can see this getting annoying fast!
Yep, but then if they're doing the opposite of empathy (and it sounds like they've nailed it with the current options) Tier 1 HAS to be a spam heal....:P
I can see the BM at Cap becoming even laggier than normal :P
Oh and I love the pain dom set as it stands here.
I don't wanna save my soul now,
I just wanna lose control,
And even if it takes a lifetime, to learn:
I'll learn!

Nullify Pain on auto then toggle on Soothing aura = double spam heals.
Well its just what i thought it would be .... NOT anywhere near what we have with empaths and as i knew it would be second rate im not bothered about it.

Looks fairly similiar to me. Fortitude is replaced with an AOE Buff in World of Pain, AB is Painbringer in all but name. The only real difference I can see if Recovery Aura has been replaced with that debuff power, Anguishing Cry.
What differences do you mean?
For on an empath is a single target buff this lets the empath stay out they way of the action an aoe one means coming into the middle and run the huge risk of being taken out.
Im thinking more for pvp here rather than pve, i guess what i was hoping for was a set that would let villains have a chance in pvp when you get a good empath on the other team and as yet i cant see it still play will prove this right or wrong
I'd hold off making PvP judgements for a bit, the entire system seems to be getting gutted and rebuilt. For example Single Target Holds in PvP become incredibly short in duration (2.5 seconds) with the damage going up 5 or 6 fold.
All Mez Protection is getting removed in PvP, being replaced by Resistance, Toggles won't drop, instead they'll become Inactive whilest mezzed. And the PPPs are getting rebuilt as well.
And don't forget half the "villain empaths" will be Masterminds, so the "stay out of combat, you're squishy" won't really apply to them.

Soothing Aura seems like a twist on Regen Aura to me from the descrioption, but without more than a discription who's to know.

I see it as an aura clicky, activate to trigger higher regeneration (which is every second?) numbers.

Painbringer is not the same as AB instead its more of a hybrid between fort and AB.
High +regen +recov (from AB) and +damage (from fort)
This actually looks even better for MMs now than a straight port would have.
To be honest I think the way this set has been designed plays to the strengths and strategies Masterminds utilise anyway.
This was never going to be sitting back in Bodyguard mode firing off Heal other/Aura/AB pain and fort.
Sure Its going to be a set which I suspect will need to be tinkered with a little in future patches before it being and playing how it was originally conceptualised, but it looks promising.
Mmm...
Pain so close to pleasure, baby.

DAMMIT! Two minutes! Two minutes too late! I thought, "Pain Domination is a set of words just prime for some Sapphic Neko jokes.", and I was two bloody minutes late!

Soothe: You heal an ally by numbing their pain and calming their mind. You cannot use this power on your self.
Share Pain: Share pain draws away some of an allys anguish caused by their wounds, but damages the user. The pain caused by this power causes the user to go into a frenzy, briefly increasnig their damage output.

THis will briefly empower you increasing your damage output, recovery rate, attack rate and chance to hit. After a minute the effect will wear off leaving you weakened for 30 seconds. Your damage, attack rate and chance to hit will all be reduced during this period. Recharge Very long
Enforced Morale: Frees and ally from any disorient hold, sleep, fear, confuse and immobilize effects and leaves them resistant to such effects for a good while. Also, grants the target clearer perception to see hidden foes and minor recharge and movement speed boost. Protection and Movement boost will improve with multiple applications and as you advance in level, although the recharge and movement boost will only apply for the first few applications. If the ally is not damaged, Enforce moral will cause them some......
Soothing Aura: While this power is active all nearby allies will be healed by Soothing Aura every couple of seconds for a small portion of their health.
World of Pain: When this power is activated the user and all nearby team members will gain a moderate damage, resistance and to hit bonus. Additionally those affected by this power will have their resistance to placate effects improved.
Anguishing Cry: You let out an Anguishing Cry causing a great deal of pain in your foes reducing their resistance and defense to damage for a short time.
Painbringer: You transform an ally to pain incarnate turning them into an inexhaustible killing machien. While the character is imbued with this power they will benefit from incredible health regeneration, endurance recovery and improved damage potential for a short time.
