-Recruited under Arachnos' "Equal-Opportunity Villainy" plan-
Stygian Circle: This power so fits the theme of a Warshade, and to boot its unique to only one AT. Plus, just plain awesome to use.
Phantom Army: C'mon, a pocket invincible army ready to throw down. This is always a tide turner.
Alter Metabolism: It does so much and is just very useful.
Foot Stomp: an area of damage and knockdown. Yes please! Makes you truly feel the rush of Super Strength by just the slam of your foot.
Assault Bot: Few third tier pets seem like true game changers. I'd have to believe this one ranks in the top spot.
Best power: Build Up
KO Blow! KO Blow! KO Blow!

Powerboost, for any AT.

I have better powers to take than Fitness, and have Stamina on all of 2 characters total. I don't take the power unless I find that I need it, and lo and behold: I've only needed it twice, both in extremely unusual builds.|

Stamina's not so good that I'd sacrifice two other power slots to get it, and you'd have to employ some good persuasion for me to take even one power to get to it. So I certainly wouldn't consider it among the best, at least not here in 2010 when there are far better powers out there.
I have to say Stygian Circle. I love being able to gain health and end from my dead foes!

Stamina, Hasten, Aid Self. Especially all three together!

[QUOTE=theOcho;3409811]As to the REAL reason I'll be leaving, I'm afraid it is indeed because Tamaki Revolution dc'd on me during a RSF.[/QUOTE]
Self destruct!
The Bacon Compels You.
My current favourite is Static Discharge.
I've had damage cones before, it's nothing special in that way, but it looks and sounds absolutely brilliant, in a Victorian Tesla Generator kind of way.
Heat Loss, which on a character with good Recharge could probably replace Stamina entirely AND provide occasional AoE -Resistance.

and brute - dark melee - touch of fear

Rage
Seeds of Confusion
Phantom Army
Sleet
Fulcrum Shift
Chain Induction. Hop, sparky, hop!
