Power Alteration Powerset

This is a Buff/Debuff powerset suitable for Defenders, Controllers, Corruptors, and Potentially Masterminds. It focuses on the concept of a character who enhances their allies inherent abilities, rather than a static increase, and who destroys their enemy's ability to resist.

Tier 1: Boost

Single Target click heal, grants 12.5HP healing to the target and 2 end.

At 75% HP and below the healing component increases by 1% per percentage point below 75% but stops increasing at 25% total health (50% healing bonus) power scales as "Healing Aura" to 133.86HP base at level 50 for a Defender.

At 60% Endurance the granted bonus increases by 1 per 15% below 75% total end, to a maximum endurance grant of 7 if the target has 0 endurance.

20% Damage Debuff, 20% Accuracy Debuff, -20% End Discount (increase the cost of all powers by 20%)


Tier 5: Second Wind

Grants 10 End (Affected by enhancements and powers)


Tier 6: Power Crash

Single Target Debuff

Inverse of Power Build Up


Tier 7: Power Drain

Targeted Area of Effect Click debuff (Special)

Using a method similar to Cosmic Balance apply a debuff based on the ATs on the team

Each AT grants the target a penalty equal to 1/2 the bonus applied through Augmentation.


Tier 8: Cosmic Chance

Single Target ally Buff. Grants the ally the temporary equivalent of Cosmic Balance (for "Heroic" ATs) or Dark Sustenance (For "Villainous" ATs) Long recharge.

Tier 9: Invest

Entire Map AoE Ally targeted "special" buff. places 3 temporary powers in the player's list which each have a duration of 5 minutes -or- when one of the three powers is used. A Self Rez power, a Self +Heal and +End power (30% value on each), and a Power Build Up power. All members of the team including the Power Alteration User would have access to these temporary powers. Drains the power Alteration User of all Endurance and 50% HP, grants a 20 second NoHeal and No Recovery on the player.

Very interesting - I especially like the power that grants the equivalent of small insps as a buff, dependent on AT. And the inverse Build Up debuff.

I'd say this isn't a strong Mastermind Set, due to the game AT basis of the powers (as opposed to henchmen). It would need a rework to fit with the notion of enhancing the henchmen, alongside heals/debuffs/buffs of Mastermind Secondaries.

It has a feel of 'Luck' and 'Chance' about it. Perhaps Chaos Manipulation? The visual effect of butterfly wings as certain powers are activated (akin to Dual Pistols and the 'doves') could be neat.

If the Cosmic Chance ability were to bestow one of the HEAT bonuses to a teammate, I say make it random. Also, it would need to apply a stacked bonus for the HEAT that is affected by this power.

Interesting, certainly.

Interesting suggestion. It appears to be very team oriented though. Not necessarily a bad thing but a hole that may need filling.

Looks pretty interesting..

I would suggest changing the Tier 3 to actual Mez Protection though.. 40% Mez Resistance is pretty lackluster for a defender/corr buff, even if it is AoE.. Especially whereas FF and Sonic, have AoE Mez Protection (aside from sleep) with defense/resists layered on top of that.

If you're adamant about keeping it Mez Resist, I'd add on some on something else.. Perhaps an additional Debuff Resist depending on the AT that it hits?

Tanks could get more Defense/Resistance resists
Scrappers/Blasters/Brutes/Stalkers could get Resistances to -dmg and -to-hit, etc.
