Still no Cold Mastery?

I had high hopes while reading today's article and how it mentions Blaze Mastery for scrappers. Thought to myself maybe, just maybe they'd give us a mastery that fit with our first round of proliferation too? Maybe the devs are just waiting to announce Cold Mastery for defenders because they weren't able to put so much awesome into one article?

So... How about it Castle? Cold Mastery? Super-cool (hah, didn't mean to do that) defense based epic armor for us? Maybe a complete re-work of Vigilance too...?

...I can dream, can't I?

Pretty much all ATs need more Epics, but scrappers had three so I can see why they got one first. I would like a Fire one once defenders get Thermal/fire as well. Really want Dark for tanks though. My Dark/stone would love getting access to T.T..

We just need to be more vocal like the scrappers to get what we want. Actually...scratch that, we're already pretty vocal as it is. Alright we just need to take action! You know...flip out and stab someone?

And a Munitions Mastery would be pretty awesome. Except then there'd really be no reason to play /Devices. But I'd be willing to live with that.

Vocal like the scrappers? As in shooting down any and every APP idea for any AT other than defenders? As in demanding no Blaze Mastery for scrappers until defenders get theirs? Since defenders are clearly the disadvantaged archetype for such and such reasons?

Sarcastic swipes at certain forumgoers aside, /signed because I suspect that doing multiple APPs all at once results in a net labor savings. If Castle can crank out a dozen proliferated powersets all at once in fewer accumulated hours than he can crank them out one by one, same must hold true with APPs.

Don't get me wrong, scrappers are as deserving as any other AT is for more APP choices and it's about time they got some. Here's hoping they get some cool stuff in Blaze Mastery.

Not trying to claim defenders are deprived and should be put before everyone else either. Just posting some light-hearted wishful thinking.

Reread the part about epics.

Quote:
Each archetype is getting an additional power set in their epic power pool, and each power set is getting an additional power so that there will be five powers from which to choose.
I was so focused on the scrapper part I failed to read what the article really said.

Oh wow me too. Nice catch.

*crosses fingers for Cold Mastery*

Edit: Oh that's why I missed it. That was posted in a later article.

I'd like to see a version of munitions mastery (for both defenders and blasters) that uses a bow instead of assault rifle to fire grenades and such. Or just an alternate animation (like martial arts and super strength get) where you throw the grenade instead of using a weapon to launch it. Just something that fits better with using a bow as primary weapon.

That said, I also second the idea of Cold Mastery for defenders. See my posts here http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...81#post2118981 and here http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...15#post2119015

This is what I get for posting during my first week of 3rd shifting. I didn't notice it being a different article.

And no, there are only the added powers for epics that didn't have 5 powers already. Scrappers got a new epic. But hey, the Dark epic got a self rez and we all love a self rez power don't we? *crickets*

Maybe next time?

Though they did give me Force of Nature to play around with...
