Pool powers 5th abilities!

I had the idea that if patron/ancillary power pools have a fifth power, how about ones for the normal power pools? I have some idea's:

Concealment: Stealth Aura (toggle PBAoE stealth)
Fighting: Slam (high damage smashing knockup)
Fitness: Grizzled (Auto Defense to cold, toxic and psi)
Flight: levitate (toggle Foe Sleep with no damage, they will levitate until attacked)
Leadership: Bravery (toggle PBAoE speed, defence and ToHit boost)
Leaping: landing (auto reduction in fall damage)
Medicine: Triage (click PBAoE regeneration boost)
Presence: Mocking Remark (foe ToHit decrease)
Speed: Charge (Teleport to targeted foe smashing knockback)
Teleportation: Change Dimension (Single foe intanglible)

Hmmm...

Leaping, IMHO, seems like it'd be pretty useles. I mean, barring jumping off the tallest skyscrapers intentionally, does anyone actually *notice* falling damage past the first few levels?

Triage sounds potentially interesting.

Teleportation - Change Dimension... well, people already complain about the intangibles and cages now. Don't see it being taken much. (*I* take them on occasion, admittedly.)

See my Guides and Tutorials

I like it. Sure why not.

How about for Fitness use Focused Accuracy or something else from Body Mastery that doesn't involve lasers

I like having the travel powers doing some actual traveling by giving them all a "Teleport to any normal city zone" power. Just that the animation will be different in each case (flashier teleport, huge leap cracking the ground, rocket away Neo style, speed away leaving a trail of fire).

They would take a few seconds to charge up, be interruptible, etc, of course.


Fighting: Feint (fast, melee, no damage, defence debuff with chance to stun)
Fitness: Weathered (passive minor Fire/Cold/Energy resist)
Leadership: Rally (PBAoE click, short term debuff resistance to defence and endurance or whatever, and also some mez resistance)

Hmm flight sounds more like controllers stuff. How about something afterburner instead? Click and fly for short time with extremly speed. Cooldown something like 10 minutes perhaps.

edit. Ah BBQ Pork had same idea Well perhaps its good then.

Yes flight is easily capped. So afterburner power should be more like short time superspeed but in air.

Personally, I'd love a Recall Across Zones for a T5 teleportation pool.

An open letter to NCsoft

Personally, I'm still lobying for a cheaper, instant Combat Teleport that only works at a distance of 10-20 feet. Just enough to be manoeuvrable in combat, but not enough to travel with. And no Hover time. So I guess that would count for Teleport.

For Fly, I'd probably look at some sort of divebombing attack, similar to Shield Charge, but on a much lower damage mod, and probably a slightly faster recharge. I don't know what else to say, since there isn't much a new power could do for actual flying. I suppose, unless it gave completel resistance to -fly, so that you could break out of any -fly powers? Probably active, to be used like Burn.

I'm not sure what I'd do for the others, though.

Im not idiot. Yes I know how flight speed works right now. But dev team clearly told in some other topic that superspeed is maximum travelspeed of the game. Any faster speed makes newerending rubberband effect or something like that fun. So... They can use somethin what they call programming and change some rules in game. So superspeed in air for a few second is that what I'm talking about.

edit. combat teleport sounds fun. Normal travel teleport is so clumsy to use in combat. Perhaps that old TP needs littlebit development too.

Thats true. My suggestion is not perfect I know that. Still my comment was answer to Ians ironwiring answer. Perhaps I should be more accurate whos posts I'm answering. No offence.

Actually, as demonstrated by Walk, powers can alter your movement caps - it changes your run speed cap (as in, it shows up as blue not green/red/white in the real numbers window) to something like 5mph, and nothing at all can alter it.

And slightly more on topic: I was actually doing something similar to this, and here's what I had so far (there's some surprising similarities ):

I'd love a reverse Recall Friend for my TP Toons.

I’m not sure if this has been suggested in the past but for Combat Teleport how about something where you target a mob, activate the power and then you quickly teleport to that target with a minimum of activation animation, maybe just a short version of the tense up animation used by the embalmed cadavers coupled with a bright flash, and deliver an uppercut for moderate damage? I’m not 100% sure if the code can handle this but it would definitely add some flavor to combat.
