Edit: Also, exciting stuff on the Incarnate levels and Electric control as well!
Please try my custom mission arcs!

I'm not ruling out Electrical Control as a set, but it is only one of several sets that are in the wings waiting for the thumbs up to proceed with. |

so another set thats 1/4 effective at end drain because you gotta maintain pvp balance?

HHHNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHH
Incarnates.The system will be called be Incarnate system (many CoH players should be familiar with this) and it will consist of new content and special Incarnate levels that confer new abilities to your character. Rewards commensurate with the difficulty of the Incarnate content will also be part of the system. Going Rogue will include a single Incarnate level, with the level cap of 10 to be introduced in Issue 19 later this year.
Kinetic Melee. For Scrappers, Tanks, Brutes, and Stalkers a new powerset called Kinetic Melee was announced. To give you a general iea think of what telekinetic melee combat would look like. The set is very visual and utilizes a ton of knockback and down effects. You'll have greater range than most melee power sets when using it. A video was also shown at the panel, though Paragon Studios will not be distributing it. Fortunately, we managed to grab some shakycam of the clip, look for that later today.
Electric control. Next up is Electric Control for both controllers and dominators. Not much was said on this set, but you can probably imagine how it will work out given the existing powers in the game. Electric imps were seen (gremlins).

I'm glad I reserved names for future Electric Controllers and Dominators ages ago. The only thing left that I want from the Powers team is an Electric or Storm themed Mastermind Primary... and since I doubt anything like that is even in the planning stages, I'll be content with having 9 out of 10 Basic ATs represented on my All Electric Roster.

Awesome! Some of the animations looked like they were plucked right out of the matrix or any awesome kung fu movie. It has a very *use the force* feel to it. Also it reminds me of a monk/fighter chi guy. hrmm. All I have to say is the better include new slots! I know they probably will, but I need to make sure b/c I am going to roll WAY more toons with these new sets.
I'm glad the devs are fellow nerds even though I complain about DP the Equilibrium/Bullet Proof Monk made me Squee.

I think those are character slot tokens, not character slot additions beyond the 36 per server limit.

You do realize that powers which drain endurance have always drained different values depending on whether the target was another player or NPC, right?

Sadly I have watched that video over 5 times now.
Not sad at all. Those sets are quite nice to look at.
