And, as a Ranger/Ranger cross-class, I can dual wield my Dual Wield! Prepare for pointy death!

All I want is a Radioactive Melee/Armour set for Tanks, Scrappers and Brutes. I'm not creative enough to draw up an outline for it. Make it happen, Cap'n.
Thank you, Champion.

Absolutely love the Plant Armor and Insect power set ideas. Only makes sense to have Plant Armor, since there's an offensive set. And the Control Insects power set has great potential! Can you say large dung beetle here to kick your butt!?

* A bo/quarterstaff powerset for Melee ATs (Scraps/Tankers/Brutes/Stalkers)
* Water Blast, Gravity Blast
* A psi weapon set. Basically a powerset that is for melee ATs (possibly for Doms/Defenders too) where your toon's mind "summons" weapons and attacks using them...but not actually moving physically. Maybe this would be good for a power pool set.
There have been other suggestions that I pretty much agree with...some power proliferation would be great.

Street Fighting could involve a mixture of Smash and Lethal damage (for example, if some of the powers involve using knives). It could be less about mezzes and more about general attack/defense debuffs (dirty fighting that seeks to disarm, weaken, or disable limbs, etc.) ... kind of like what the Broadsword and Katana powersets do, but maybe not as much focus as those.
And to compliment Street Fighting, how about a Wrestling power set (Natural of course)? Complete with body slams, hand claps against the head, flying whatchamacallits, etc... Think WWF-style fighting.

Think about it...you might have a power, "body slam" let's say....sure that works on a Hellion (works as in looks right/etc) but...how do you use that power on...the Kronos Titan (the Giant Monster one...or any GM)? The animations just wouldn't be right (unless they did all animations for every creature that is bigger/smaller than the standard 6 foot tall NPC/mob).

Lol what if they made the damage vary based on the size of the enemy? like 0 damage to a GM but 1-hit instant kill to something like a rikti monkey XD

Powersets are origin agnostic, they don't care what the origin is and it seems unnecessary/a bad idea to make Wrestling limited by origin. (Heracles was big on wrestling, and the sons of gods are usually considered magic origin.) That said, the graphics and animation engine isn't capable of doing things like grappling/throws. With the variety of sizes and shapes characters can be grappling is just not possible to animate in a way that looks acceptable. (Based on what i recall BAB posting about this a while back.)|

As i recall, it's been confirmed that an electrical control set is in the works; i'm guessing that most likely it will be out around the same time as Going Rogue.

Anything that is not a simply an expansion of concepts already handled multiple times. Fire/Ice/Earth/Dark/Sonic/Electric I love you but enough is enough. I want powersets that allow me to create totally new character concepts. Shields, Pain, Dual Pistols and Demons got this idea and ran with it.
I also want to see things that are a little unusual. I have a feeling that if Kinetics hadn't shipped with the original game, people would reject it later for being too "out there."
To name sets I specifically want, Insect Control is way up on my list, because it's a concept completely unmilked so far. Ditto Water Control, and a Luck/Fortune buff set. I'd also really like to see an armor set based around Intangibility, but I can see how it's challenging.
For extreme out there concepts, I wish there was an armor set for Cloning. I'm sure its been discussed before, but basically give the character the ability to split off clones of himself/herself. For balance reasons these clones would probably be unable to use special abilities of the person creating them, and also probably be outside their control, unless we made this a Mastermind set.

Here's an interesting question for you, then. How would you bodyslam a Storm Elemental and how much damage would it do?|

*note* This is the in-game equivalent to asking you how you would bodyslam a cloud. That seems like an interesting proposition.

Do you realize how broken SR would be on a tank? I kind of doubt the devs will give us a defense based set that will exceed softcap by itself, with no other powers or IOs. | To Tanks- Super Reflexes, Broadsword, Katana, Martial Arts, Claws, energy aura. Electrical mastery (Ancillary) |
Just look at how easy it is to softcap Shield Defense on a tank. One extra power pool, and a single IO is all you need. With SR's passives you wouldn't even need that.
No qualms with the other things there, but I highly doubt tanks will ever get SR in it's current form.
Energy Aura seems unlikely as well, but more likely than SR. Energy Aura is what villains got instead of Ice, and they are very similar in function. So I wouldn't expect that one to be proliferated until villains get Ice Armor......

I've always wanted a time control/manipulation set, either as a buff/debuff set or a control set.
