ok i may be wrong on this, but i think it's like this:
(a) no
(b) no
(c) no
(d) yes
(e) no
I think you still do the arc for one patron to unlock the pool for that patron, then when respeccing all pools open up, but you still have the one you chose to missions for as your patron even tho you use powers from another.
Actually, even if you're not respeccing, doing the arc for one patron unlocks all four pools, even when only getting access to the powers for the first time.
Aye am currently doing Mako's arc and picking Black Scorpions powers
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Villain Patron Powers Unlocked
Now any Villain that has unlocked any Patron Power Pool can freely select another when respeccing or making Multiple Builds, offering the same flexibility that heroes are afforded with Ancillary Powers. Source
I understand from this, that If I wanted to change from Mace to Mu it is now possible. What I'm not sure about is whether or not the following can be achieved :-
(a) Can the new patron's arc be attempted?
(b) Can we get the new patron's badge? The stinger etc...
(c) Do we lose existing patron badge? (I imagine not, but need clarification)
(d) Can we have different patron powers on 2 different builds (on same toon)? This may appear to be the case looking back at the source quote
(e) If D is possible, then can we have more than 1 patron badge?
Any other information would be great too. Thanks for looking.
