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. In addition the Body Mastery power set had the power Physical Perfection added for a total of five powers.

What the heck is Physical Perfection?

Blaze Mastery really sounds like the best pool, it has an actual hold.

What if Physical Perfection is some sort of Shadow Meld Clone, if that is the case I know where I am going switch to.

Oh yeah as for Flame, it looks nice the damage will probably be high, ST damage, AoE damage (non cone), a hold, not to fond on Melt Armor it seems like a good defense debuff but my scrapper doesn't have too much of a problem hitting things and the -res doesn't look promising, guess you toss the proc in there for more.

sounds like a def or res buff. most likely a def buff. thats what im hoping anyway. on a 2nd note, i wonder what the other new pools for the other ATs will be and what will the new power for Dark mastery and the tanker's nrg mastery be.

These articles usually don't hit until issues are right around the corner. Must be getting close to release. I'm guessing some time next week the pre-downloader will start.

Whoa... EVERY AT gets a new Epic? Fingers crossed for Ice Mastery in Defenders =]

I'm wondering, if Defenders do get Cold or Ice Mastery, what powers do you suppose the set would have?

I can think of what the set might look like in no particular order.

Shiver
Frozen Armor
Arctic Air
Hibernate
Freezing Touch

I'm guessing two weeks at least, but I could be very wrong.

Yeah I wonder what other ATs are getting, what will Blasters get? Psychic Mastery?

Physical Perfection sounds more like a Fitness (Swift/Hurdle/Health/Stamina all rolled in one) buff to me, kind of what the VEATs get for an inherent.

I've been told Physical Perfection is +Regen, +Recovery in a passive.


I'm not in beta and neither is the person who told me, so take it with a grain of salt.

Not to derail the thread, but does anyone know how to make Pyre Mastery available for scrappers in Mids?

Nor am I in the beta, but my crystal ball says it is approx half the value of health + half the value of stamina.

Yes,
1. open database editor - epic - add - make new set - select correct AT to reference - save/exit
2. copy each pyre power one by one into scrapper app
3. save/exit
4 open new scrapper app and make build.

*Mine still tells me I can't choose the powers because the app doesn't belong to scrappers, but it lets me pick them anyway. The numbers all look right and short of that red text it all works on saves/reloads.

If that is the case then I will stick with weapons or check out fire, I only really want the Targeted AoE for more AoE damage. I would have surely picked defense or resistance over that but regen and recov are not enough to give up AoE damage.

To me it doesnt sound like each AT get a whole new epic power set, but instead, one new power in each set. Which would make 5 powers to choose from.

Quote:
"Each archetype is getting an additional power set in their epic power pool,"
Meaning that each epic power pool is getting an additional set. For example the Epic power pool for Blasters maybe getting like a Psychic Mastery or Rad mastery to accomidate the new sets. And/Or Tanks might be getting Dark Mastery. Because a power set is a set of powers.


Quote:
"and"
This means also, in addition to, etc

Quote:
"each power set is getting an additional power so that there will be five powers"
Meaning that each power set is getting a new power to get up to 5.

Not sure who that was quoted from so I wouldn't know how to take it, but that is what it means.

Here is what was said in an interview

Quote:
Additionally, we also conducted a mini-proliferation pass on the Ancillary and Patron Power Pools
Which could mean the statement above is true, but again I am not sure. Just was giving clearification on the statement.

I hope they change that. I don't want Tanker's Fire Epic. I want a new scrapper version of it.

More like a Brutes PPP. A blast at lvl 41. Not a hold or immobilize. I also want flashiness. Char and Ring of Fire isn't flashy.
