This one feels that simply having a sniper rifle as a costumizable weapon does nothing towards the want to create a sniper.

This one simply wants a set designed on picking off enemies one by one at a distance with the need of having to butcher an existing powerset just to get a weaker result.

This one does not know why this one is refering to this one's self as this one. This one may just be tired right now.
Regardless, this one always wanted a sniper set but has been disapointed in not having one.
Hehe, well, actually I had wrote up the skeletal frame for a sniper rifle set a while back with the point of it being that what it lacks in AoE, it would have plenty of knock down (and a whole from a cyro round), fast animations and recharge, high damage, and most of all, long range.

Well with news from PAX. I guess I was wrong.

Hmm mandatory costume piece of a flatcap and every 10 levels your flatcap grows bigger until it's huge when you finally hit 50?

Or the other great northern martial art which consists largely of headbutting people and kicking them while they are down.

Whining as a Dominator primary
Cringing as Tanker primary, Scrapper, Brute, Stalker secondary

Actually, "Staff Use" could refer to "staff" as in "employees of NCSoft".

Also, I'd love to see a "Tonfa" powerset. Also, a "Straight to the moon" powerset.

I would like to see some sort of kinetic take on Tai Chi.

*raises other hand*

I would also like to see some sort of melee set that uses a staff.

Mister Dumpling Tank/Scrapper set; you actually make yourself more vulnerable and lull your enemies into a sense of security by letting them kick your ***.

Personally I'd like to see a Debuff set sitting between Poison and Rad with some interesting mechanics nicked from things like Chain Induction, Carrion Creepers and other oddball powers. I'd guess it would disease or plague based, maybe slanted towards being able to stack -damage effects more than other debuff sets.

* So lots of the debuffs would be like Chain Induction ones, single target with a change of jumping to other targets. Have a -Perception/-ToHit one which affects the senses and a Weaken style one which does -Damage, Slow and -Defense.

Other effects would be like something nicked from Dragon Age, a single target infection (similiar to something like Acid Arrow but switch the -defense for -damage again) but if the opponent dies the body explodes into a minor damage, -damage and -resist AOE.


Leveraging the Carrion Creepers mechanics a pseudopet which uses bodies in some way, maybe by throwing out intense, short duration +Regen and +Recovery AOE buffs for each body it "consumes".


* Some sort of placeable object which does a wide area debuff when triggered (something like a Trip Mine or Time Bomb / Oil Slick combo so it would either go off itself in some way or be shootible to do so) would also be interesting.

Obviously there's a lot of holes in there and no numbers but I'd like the idea of a Debuff set with fairly unique ways of working with a good spread of -Damage effects. It'd be a chunk of work though as more complex powers like these have had issues in the past (and some still do) in terms of working properly, especially with things like PROCs.

I've always wanted a "Strategist" or "Tactician" buff set. The closest thing is the Leadership Mk. II powers for VEATs.
