More the rar slash slash slash type. We already have Duals Blades and now Claws brutes and they work fine thematically, edged weapons or not.|

As an aside, I strongly suspect that the minor redside character Bloody Vicious is a reference to him.

I'd take Super Strength for scraps. Of course it will never happen and probably will end up getting the set nerfed with a rage nerf or something. Liek the "we rebalanced the set for scrappers so we decided to rebalace the set for all ats as well since we were on the topic already"

Yep, I thought the same thing. He even somewhat resembles Vicious from Bebop.

How Illusion works with Domination is probably irrelevant to Castle. I suspect that the reason that Illusion hasn't been proliferated is because it's likely to be the most stupidly overpowered set for Dominators.|

Dominator players tend to slot very heavily for recharge in order to fuel a perma or near perma Domination. Now consider an invisible high damaging character who can summon three indestructible taunting pets on an permanent or almost permanent basis, a fear patch and an energy blaster that can summon its own taunting decoy.
There's a reason people are salivating and Castle is trying to dodge this bullet.
But the next round is the time. He's ran out of choices. BWA HA HA HA HA!!!
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

If the set is stupidly overpowered, nerf it. If not, proliferate it!
problem is some sets when transferd become oped. illus dom probly have been tested and are just 2 oped.
as for the BS tanks i dont c it ever happening.... sword/shield tanks are a dime a dozen in MMOs and CoX is trying to not be just a nother MMO
thow sets i want to c..
ice/ice brutes
thow new sets i want more
pole arms -brutes-scraper
pole arm or MA for blaster .if pole arm cant be used with wepon sets... come on who doest want to smack a mob around with a pole arm. then trip them and blast a ball of fire into thare face.
for laughs a b-boy style armour set for scraper/stalker/brute/tank. it wood just be all kinds of cool and funny.(i combo of def and resist like SOed out on tanks 30-35 def range to melee/range/AoE, and resist to S,L in 50-60 range and resist to rest in 15-20 range, have a big hole to slow effects adn end drain thow. sence doing b-boy moves take alot of enderace and geting slowed down messes u up)

Spines/ D A lvl 50 Scrap, stone/wm lvl 50 tank, Kat/reg lvl 50 Scrap
Grav/Kin lvl 50 Cont, Fire/Enegry lvl 50 Blast
Warshade lvl 50, PB lvl 39, nightwidow lvl 50, crab lvl 42
plant/thorns lvl 50 dom, ice/fire lvl 40 dom, grav/nrg lvl 41 dom
Let's see...
Trollers: dark miasma. ( I want my mind/dark and ill dark trollers.)
Doms: illusion (an ill/psi dom seems fitting to me)
Brutes: MA. (I want my smash to come in the form of a kick to face sometimes)
Tanks: SR (yeah I said it)
Stalkers: fire/fire (the fact that you can have elec/elce removes the need to explain this.)
Defenders: thremal/fire (Traps/AR before this one, really?
Corr: Psi/FF (why isn't FF there alreay is anybody's guess.)
MM: Kin (so what if SB won't do as much. Everything else will)
Scrappers: SS/nin (I will now and forever ignore all comments made by you nay sayers for not wanting this, you scrapper haters.)

The more I think about it, the more I feel that proliferation should end now that ATs can switch sides freely.

No frikken way. Proliferation shouldn't have happened at all but since it did, there ain't no backing out now.|

You got my Plant Control from my Dom, my Electric Melee from my villain melees. The way sharing works isn't to stop once you get what you want out of it.

I play redside almost exclusively. Doms and Brutes happen to be my primary ATs. So, I gave?

But it's only fair to get something in return. And I want my Illusion/EA dom and my Ice/Ice stalker.
Quote:
No. A redside illusion controller is not an illusion dom. A blueside /nin stalker is not a /nin scrapper. There is no such thing as a fire/emp corruptor. ATs are different. Just because I can move them around to different sides of the game doesn't magically allow me to make the powerset combinations I want.

This is what it means to be a tank!

Exactly. I want Brutes or Scrappers with Ice Armor, because I like Brutes & Scrappers but hate playing Tanks. As a mostly-soloist, I never enjoyed playing team buff sets until they started being ported to Masterminds and (to a lesser degree) Controllers. And so on.|

I believe in allowing for the maximum amount of build flexibility that won't wreck game balance, and proliferation is part of that.

Illusion for dominators.
Put me down for Psychic Blast for Corruptors (straight port from Defenders please, not the Blaster version!) and Dark Blast for Blasters.
Dark Blast for Blasters please! Even a new Dark Manipulation would be stellar!
Poison for Corruptors would be nifty too. Make Noxious Gas affect a teammate instead of a minion though.
Oh and Energy Aura for Scrappers.
Whining about everything since 2006.
Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=135484
Ice Armor and Ice Melee for brutes.
Apparently in CoV beta, it was removed because -recharge takes away from fury. But fury has been redone partially now, and I think that brutes should get the ice powers. Yeah, there is a sleep and plenty of slows, but brutes have dark armor and energy armor/aura. Energy has a stealth? How does that build fury? Dark Armor has a fear and a stun, again how does this build fury? Ice has a slow aura and a damage aura. From my understanding a damage aura would build fury.
Brutes have access to APPs now, and Earth has... an AoE sleep. Seems we should get Ice melee atleast.. it has an AoE sleep as well.

I'd rather see the Ice sets ported to Stalker. I like the idea of "Tanker and Stalker only" because they're so... dissimilar.
I don't know if anybody has said this or not, but...
I would give a kidney for a whip set like the one from DS for scrappers/brutes.
A kidney, I tell you.
Quote:
I don't know if I'd give a *kidney* for it, but I'd certainly like to see it. That said, that wouldn't be a proliferation. Like dual pistols, it'd basically be a new set since they'd have to invent (and animate) 6 additional powers.

Well, 5 technically, since Taunt/Provoke take up a slot, but yeah. I suppose that would be more like a new set.|

Still, want.
I'd like to see Energy Aura for tankers and scrappers -- and of course, see it fixed up a bit for all archetypes.
