new Pool set

Much like the leadership pool is, either as a new pool or more choices on that pool. It would be extremely nice to have a leadership toggle for regeneration like 50 or 75% base. Would also be nice for a resistance leadership toggle and maybe one for recharge and recovery as well.

highly op'd. maybe 3% regen, 1.5% recov, 10% resist and 3.5-5% rech. that would make it attractive but not to attractive that you would have to skip powers from primary/secondary to get this.

i even think my numbers would be a bit to high.

You can't balance a power around impossible variables like teammates you may or may not have and the ATs they may or may not be (that would effect what 50% regen means for them in terms of hp/s).

And as long as we're mentioning precedents there are plenty of team buff aura powers in the game that are stackable and far more game breaking than a regen toggle.

25% regen 10% recovery would probably be decent enough to be worth taking and low enough to not turn your team into god-mode when you stack it.

A power like that would be perfect for VEATs.

I dunno, I've been on teams with multiple trap and plant characters alternating who drops the +regen powers so they can keep them running 200-400% every fight. It's not all that impressive compared to the other overlapping buffs. Sure, it's nice to have to help support other buffs, but regen alone won't keep a team alive.

Where is he getting "400 percent regen if one person takes it" from, when the idea given is at best 50-75%? With ED slotting, that comes out to 150%, tops.

Don't Pain Masterminds get a +Regen toggle that's like +200% out of the box?

Personally, I would be interested in a new Pool set that allows you to choose at least one or two powers of other archetype/powersets. The power "Lighting Rod" is only available to the more "physical" archetypes, which doesn't make sense when you have electricity in other archetype categories. This would give players more of a Champions Online-like feel. And if this powerset cannot be made available at the initial security level, then integrate it at some other point. Matter of fact, just revamp the entire Ancillary and Patron Pool lists, making it so that individuals can choose up to 4 or 5 additional powers.

Personally, one of the things I always found useful about the Fitness Pool was that the powers were all Auto. I did not have to place anything in my tray or click anything. As the removal of Fitness has left no other Pool Powers that are Auto, I'd like to see that added.

Specifically, I would suggest something like Fighting. The last two powers could be a small Resistance, something like Body Armor (around 5-8%, depending on AT) and a Defense about 2/5 of Weave. (So slightly less than CJ or the like, or even equal, which I think would be fine since it is picked up later) Alternately, I have always thought it would be a good idea to have a Defense which is specifically against Ranged, to help out Blasters especially, and that could be higher since it's a more limited type of Defense.

The first power could be offensive, a small tohit bonus combined with a damage bonus. (An auto damage bonus would have to be combined with something else, since it couldn't be slotted) That just leaves the second, which if you split up a couple of Defense powers like I suggested, could be either Ranged and Melee, or Ranged and AoE.

Compare it to Physical Perfection too.

I don't really have anything pertinent to the subject to add here, but I think it's time for a math-learning break

When dealing with percentages, it doesn't matter how many people the buff is applied to, the percentage value remains the same. For example, if a MM takes Assault, the +Dam it gives is 11.3%. When he runs this toggle in battle with all pets summoned, he's not giving a (11.3% * 7 = ) 79.1% +Dam buff; it's still an 11.3% damage buff, but the same buff is just applied to a larger number. Say the MM and the pets dealt a total 100 DPS without Assault, running Assault would boost this value to 111.3 DPS, not 173 DPS.
