This is correct. The villain epic pools are only unlocked once you earn the badge associated with one of the 4 patrons. You only need 1 badge to unlock all 4 pools and you get a free respec out of it but you will have to go villain to do so.

However, you don't have to STAY a villain to get the Patron pools, just unlock them and you'll be fine.

Before I Alpha slot my two main controllers they need a respec. I want Scorpion Shield but at the same time I dont want my controllers to become villains - they are both always have been and always will be heros.
Before I waste a respec can someone tell me if I can take Scorpion Shield without moving over to the dark side or do I have to become vigilante to villain to rogue and back to hero so I can have my cake and eat it?
I know that the Ice APP has a similar defence based shield but it doesnt look as good on paper and it really wont work conceptually on one of my controllers.
Thanks
