My pure ice/nrg blaster only use range, build and powerboost. And the 'you have to take it' thrust power. My AR/nrg likewise, why on earth i would even want the nonstop redraw to toss out a melee punch once in a while?|

The goodies of the secondairy are great, there is always a set that suits the needs of a player. Some may be more situational then the other, some great for solo, others great for parties. True, some powers might need a bit of redesign, but overal, its good.

They seem like they'd require more effort and thought than the others, since you have to pick a power that would work for two different classes. Any defensive power given to Banes would make Crabs too good, for instance. My guess for widows is that they'll just give them holds since those choices are pretty generic and wouldn't be overpowering. But that word "most" makes me think VEATs are going to get the pass this time.
I'm hoping the heroes still lacking stuff get some good choices though. I'm wondering what Force Mastery will get for Blasters. I always thought the Gravity hold would work there. |
I know playing my Widow, endurance is my single biggest issue and having a way to fill that hole would be a real boon.
@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too
My Soldier didn't take the Tactical Training powers, so he has Endurance to spare regardless of what he's doing. Frankly, I'll take that over yet another gimmick power any day.

Ive seen ALOT of people complain about Widows endurence...... I havent had any issues myself, maybe im missing somthing. I run Idomitable Will, Widow Manuvers, Manuvers, Assualt, and Mask Presence.
I think the trick is that I knew that widows recov bonus work off a higher scale because of having a higher base. So those little Thunderstrike etc recov bonus stack up really fast.

Edit: You know what, I'd LOVE to have World of Confusion for controllers. I'd love to Rock an Ice/Sonic/Psi. :-D
Do keep in mind that my list still potentially holds some credibility, although I will not admit to partaking in any questionable activities. Am I just bluffing, or do I require deniability!?

The unrest is indeed present, but it's not like I'm going around provoking anybody. People just look at me and say "OMG that's now how I would have done it so you suck!!!" and I continue doing what I'm doing. It's a game. Have fun.

Eh? My Peacebringer's all-human. It has the Leadership and Medicine pools. I wanted to make a team Kheld since the VEATs were all the rage when they came out what with their built-in Tactical Training. (-:
I have heard that scrapper Blaze Mastery is going to be identical to tanker Pyre Mastery, including the presence of Melt Armor.
Body Mastery is apparently getting a power called Physical Perfection. But I have no clue what it actually does. It could be a Shadow Meld clone.
(Note: This is based on what I saw in a post elsewhere, I can't confirm one way or the other)
Edit: Here is the article that mentions it: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?g...re=3424&bhcp=1

I keep hearing this, but I don't remember where it originated. Was this confirmed somewhere? It seems like, if true, Blaze Mastery would be vastly superior to all other Scrapper epic options.

I'd like the see the following powers added to the epic pools. I've done an extensive analysis and have determined that none of these powers will result in balance issues.
Blasters - Fulcrum Shift
Corruptors Gravity distortion field
Tankers Snipe
Brutes - Stygian Circle
Scrappers Dual Pistol attack
Stalkers - Nova
Controllers Energy transfer
Dominators - Elude
Defenders Buildup

| Using the scrapper as an example: Blaze Mastery was a power set added to the Epic Power Pool which will include the powers Ring of Fire, Char, Fire Blast, Melt Armor, and Fireball. |
Powers I would give them (bit of wishful thinking):
Blaster Flame Mastery = Forge (base recharge 60s -> 120s, endcost 10.4 -> 13)
Blaster Foce Mastery = Siphon Power (base recharge 20s -> 40s, endcost 10.4 -> 13)
Controller * Mastery = don't care
Defender Dark Mastery = Chill of the Night
Scrapper Body Mastery = Power Boost
Scrapper Darkness Mastery = Darkest Night
Tanker Energy Mastery = Power Boost
Powers I think they're going to get (let's be realistic):
Blaster Flame Mastery = crummy version of Healing Flames (+maxhp, base recharge 20s -> 9m, endcost 10.4 -> 18.2)
Blaster Foce Mastery = Gravity Distortion (base recharge 8s -> 16s, endcost 8.528 -> 10.66)
Controller * Mastery = still don't care
Defender Dark Mastery = some single target dark melee power nobody will take
Scrapper Body Mastery = nothing, better luck next time
Scrapper Darkness Mastery = Shadow Dweller as another Focused Accuracy toggle clone
Tanker Energy Mastery = nothing, better luck next time
