So if we get that 5th Mu power...

Just pondering what it might be...

1. Tesla Cage single target hold. Useful for nearly everyone, simple, easy, effective. No brute can currently take a ranged ST hold from the patron pool, and I don't think this one would break anything.

2. Short Circuit. A bit less likely here, but still possible. This would be very helpful for /EA and Ele, not so much for everyone else.

3. CP gets replaced on EA as well as Ele, and is added to the Mu pool. A nice thought, personally my "favourite", but to me it seems unlikely. Much as I'd love to exploit energize on /EA, I don't think it's really the right design choice for that set, but hey, who says /EA needs the same power that /Ele gets?

4. Static Discharge... Well, the Mako pool has a couple of AoEs so it could happen.

5. Voltaic Sentinal... Oh dear god no... please not this...

6. Lightning Storm... Hell ya... now you're talking... but not likely to happen in my opinion.

7. EM Pulse. Seems unbelievably unlikely...

What did that mean for /EA?

or do we know yet?

EDIT: because if EA gets energize, then imo, EA is getting VERY powerful in the late game.

My money is on a mitigation type power.

this.

My money is on it not getting anything. Look how long it took them to fix the other sets and Mu was considered to be OK at that time, so I doubt you will see a 5th anytime soon.

I think we will see it in issue 16. MMORPG.com had a recent interview with castle who said this in regard to patron pools:

Quote:
Additionally, we also conducted a mini-proliferation pass on the Ancillary and Patron Power Pools, adding 5th powers to most Pools and adding Blaze Mastery for Scrappers. This has been something which people have been asking for since Fire primaries and secondary's were given to them.

Mu got CP at the same time as the other sets, but they yanked it because it would lead to duplicate powers.

Which, again, raises the question of /EA...

I'm not sure. Brutes getting CP in Mu would be contingent on CP being replaced by something else in /Energy, and given that the set just got buffs in I13 I don't see that as likely.

AFAIK only Electric Armor is getting Energize.

No confusion on your part, just that it seems most unlikely that EA would be allowed two CPs, and IF the next mu power is CP then it's at least interesting to think about what might happen to EA.

If Mu is getting Conserve Power then what will /EA Have instead of Conserve Power? Perhaps a similar power? Maybe an auto power increasing resistance? Maybe a +HP auto power? What could it possibly be.

What I don't think it should be is energize.

Maybe it could be a power life RttC or [Insert Shield Defense Version Here] and EA will finally get a damage aura. Something like the more enemies around the increased resistance. Think of like feeding off the energy of the others or something like that.
