Nah something natural and Techy, possibly electrical.

Dark or Elec are for me, the 2 likely.

Elec: Lightning Bolt, Ball Lightning, Electric Fence, Tesla Cage. (Like Pyre cept Elec)

Dark: Gloom, Nightfall, Tar Patch, Dark Pit. (Like Earth cept Dark)


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.

Honestly, with the powers I already have, and have yet to buy (I only get a few more as I just dinged 40 on my SD/SS Tanker today), the new Epic powerset would have to be pretty cool for me to take it.

You need 5th choices in there as well. I really want Dark for T.T. to be used with OG + Fault.

You are misreading this. Its is not saying that every one will have five pools to choose from. It is saying that every pool will have five POWERS to choose from within the pool.

Example.. Energy has 4 Powers to choose from. Fire has five. Energy would be getting one more power to choose from so it would also have five.

They are not adding two more pools.


The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Which I don't think I, or New Dawn implied that they are adding two. New Dawn mentioned the two sets that would be the most likely to get added, but said "Dark, or Elec."

If a epic pool has 4 powers, it will get a 5th choice.

All ATs(outside of Epic ATs I assume) are getting an additional epic pool.

The Blaze Epic for scrappers was used as an example of what one of the new epic pools will look like.

That's what the article states.

If it were added, it would get changed around a lot, recharge wise and % wise, much like melt armor did on tanks

I say elec, suits the new elec/elec set.

But since we have dark, i would love to see it

But in most cases they still are annoying to weaponwielders.

(50)MaceX/(50)Encore

I read that announcement as "pools that didn't already have a 5th power are getting it added." Castle mentioned specifically that Scrappers are getting a new pool, but didn't say anything about other ATs getting new ones. One can hope, but I doubt it'll happen this go-around.

This was my understanding as well.
If an app/ppp currently has less than 5 power choices it is getting an additional one.
Vill side
- brute/veat mu
Hero side
- scrap/tank body
- scrap dark
- blaster fire
- blaster force
- troller fire
- troller psy
- def dark
- def power

AND

scrappers are getting the pyre app added (renamed to Blaze, but lacking the power blaze heh)

It would be great if some, or all AT's were getting an additional app/ppp pool to choose from, but I don't see why scrappers would be the only one's mentioned if that was the case.

Here's hoping that the troller APP's get the best melee attack from fire and psy added to their app's like earth did! and hopefully they get scaled way up to be as good as seismic smash haha.

This is what I read. The OP had a quote from a dev(posi or babs, I forget which, but it doesn't matter really) that said exactly this. So each AT is getting a NEW SET and each set with 4 powers is getting a NEW POWER. I am not sure how villains will get any new sets though. LR patron maybe?

This is what I was wondering, too.

Hrm... I'm thinking (probably just vile speculation) that there might be a Maelstrom Patron Pool as part of an early roll-out for Going Rogue.

Edit: Strike that. Forgot. Maelstrom works for Tyrant, not Lord Recluse.

hey I hope you're right, but the difference is I won't be disappointed if what I expect to happen happens.

It sounds like it is going to happen from the wording, but... I prefer to wait and see as I've gotten my expectations up pretty high for this game before and the crash is tough.

I see what you're saying, I just think it's kind of silly to assume that whoever wrote that post wrote it completely wrong.

Unless they already know and the nda prevents them from doing anything more than being vague and trying to prevent heart ache. Just saying.


Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

Well, "each" set that doesn't already have 5 powers =)


-STEELE =)


Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

Castle's quote was "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."

Per his interview on mmorpg.com at:
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?g...&page=1&bhcp=1

Blaze mastery is the only new set and that is to match fire aura and melee (and probably the fact that there were only three pools to begin with for scrappers)


The Toy Collector: arc #4948
When Models Attack... #8099

On Guardian:
Dark Sentry: Lvl 50 FF/dark defender
Cyclone Commando: Lvl 50 Robot/traps MM
Diablo Mk I: Lvl 50 Fire/fire tank
Arc Torch: Lvl 50 Ele/fire brute

What did that first sentence say?
