Missing recipes from hero/villain merit vendors
I /bug the missing ones I discover. You will also note Steadfast Protection only has 1 of the 3 recipes available.
total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I wasn't able to find any of the Reactive Armor recipes at all, if they're supposed to be availible that is. I only saw rare recipes (orange) in the Crucible last I checked.
I have a feeling the H/V merit vendors are only *supposed* to have "rare" recipes (which is apparently defined as 'everything except pool a uncommon'). The choice of which recipes aren't there is far to consistent, in my opinion, for them to be simply missing. I haven't carefully examined every set, mind you, but the ones I looked at all followed this pattern.

also, be sure you have two merits. Otherwise you'll only see the ones that cost 1 merit.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
No, it'll show you the ones that cost 2 even if you don't have enough to purchase them.

I notice several sets are missing recipes from the vendors. Notably Kinetic Combat (the ACC/DAM one, I believe). Wasn't sure if this was working as intended or not.
