Something that has been buggin me
One pool I'd like for concept is Bow Mastery.
Something like:
Snap Shot
Entangling Arrow
Fistful of Arrows
Explosive Arrow
or maybe
2 of Entangling/Flash/Glue Arrow
Aimed Shot
Fistful of Arrows/Explosive Arrow
Pistol Mastery would be another concept I'm sure a lot of Scrappers would go for. And since we now have fire and elec options, some fire and elec APPs would be good too.

I am waiting on Martial Arts on a Blaster myself then maybe you can have Pistols/MA or Archery/MA. Scrappers have a ton going for them, I don't always see a need for an epic.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
No AT "needs" epics. My plant/rad troller doesn't "need" earth embrace, seismic smash and fissure. My nrg/MM blaster doesn't "need" temp invul, personal force field and an unstoppable clone (force of nature). My rad/dark blaster doesn't "need" soul drain. For me, it comes down to the fact that these options are available and make for a great way to fill out sets for both power variety and theme. And based on that, scrappers are the only ATs lacking in that ability. The 3 sets where fine when the only element scrappers had was DM and the rest where weapon based and MA. But now we have fire. Now scrappers are about to get electric. I'm not even going to talk about the performance of the existing sets... Again. I just want the option to match up like everybody else. Pistols and bows would be nice but fire and electric and power adds to the current sets needs to be first.

I normally wouldn't bother to beat the dead horse.
But you know...just once. One Time. I would like to be able to look at a Scrapper build and say "Damn it, I can't fit the APP in, I'll have to rework this, I have to have (insert elusive APP here)."

In the hands of a scrapper, every pool is epic.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
I would vote for a bow epic!!

You know, this may seem strange, but rather than getting some controls that are so bad as to be useless or some ranged attacks that are so much worse than our primary attacks as to be less than useless, I'd like to get some buff/debuff capabilities. Something that actually supports what we've got rather than trying to replace it with worse stuff that isn't really needed anyway. Body Mastery already does this to some degree (Conserve Power and Focused Acc), but I'd love to see Shadow Meld (re: patron pool version of MoG), Heat Exhaustion/Melt Armor (but only if they've actually got decent numbers so they're actually useful), or Surveillance (I'll take the Blaster version and be happy). Maybe even a nerfed down version of Rage. Stuff that isn't completely useless because Scrappers get utter rubbish for anything outside of their primary/secondary. Stuff that doesn't try to uselessly supplant the primary/secondary. Stuff that actually works with what Scrappers have.
Wow....I say something on the forums and here we go : Blaze Mastery. YAY! lol....

Well thank you. Now go to the defender boards. I hear they want a new inherit ability.

I know this prolly has come up alot and prolly will again, but why don't we have more Epic power options? I mean 3? Really? Is there a reason we don't have more or is it just that we are so epic anyway they couldn't think of anything to give us? Just something thats been bothering me for a while....say 33 months. heheh.
