Secondary Mutation - always the same?

Hey guys. Just bought the Mutant Booster pack. However, three times in a row I get the same Secondary Mutation power (Pain tolerance) Will I get different ones later? Or, is it permanently chosen for the one character? (Meaning, that if I want to get a different one I need to make a different character?)

thanks!

It's randomly selected every time you use the power. And it it is possible on a character to get the same power over and over again.
Edit: i'm pretty sure the mutation roll has no streakbreaker, so if you're especially (un)lucky you could get the same mutation any number of times in a row.

Still, if the mutation power locked in when first used that could be sort of awesome. i made a Dominator last week and on her first use of the power she turned into a Rikti monkey. Being able to turn into a Rikti monkey for one minute whenever i want would be funny as hell despite not being able to use any attacks or powers while transformed.

On several of my alts i've set Secondary Mutation on auto and have gotten the same mutation twice in a row only once that i've noticed. Some people have all the luck. i've only devolved into a Rikti monkey once, but from what i've read it's a 1% chance. i wish it was more frequent because something about it appeals to my sense of the absurd.

I've gotten QR once, Hightened Senses once, and otherwise it's the movement one about 6 or so times. And +2.5 mph sucks.

Stop complaining. I would kill to get a copy of Secondary Mutation that gave nothing but Pain Tolerance. I'm sure someone will disagree, but I consider that the best mutation by far.

I'm sorry, but this is just plain incorrect.

The best mutation by far is the temporary transformation into a Rikti monkey.

So far I have hit Pain Tolerance, Quick Reflexes and Tough Hide. Tough Hide more than the others.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Great, now I need to login character after character until one of them gets that.

OK, let me rephrase that: The most useful is Pain Tolerance. Rikti monkey is indeed awesome.

I concede the point, you are correct!

Yea, while I like +30 recharge slightly more, I would not complain about getting repeated Pain Tolerances.

Werd. Honestly, i barely notice most of the mutations except for the monkey devolution.
