Solo machine; Scrappers, Stalkers, Brutes.
It'd be better if they added new sets or proliferated more sets to other ATs.
If there WERE to be a new AT, it would likely be an EAT. Which we all know should be the Rikti one.
Arguement: Not an option
Dissention: Inadvisable
Result: Transmogrification. Subsequent action: Dissolution
All Glory: Rikti Empire
Lineage of War: Supreme

yeah i didnt think about the Rikti thing. that would be cool. However i dont thing that they're really the Solo machine. yeah they're the best choice for solo right now. but it could be better

I don't get how you can think that Scrappers and Brutes aren't solo machines right now. They have enough Defenses to survive incoming damage, and can put out impressive damage themselves. What more do you want?

i cant believe you quoted me right under the thing i just said. what was the point of that?
anyway. For example. A fire fire brute can solo just fine when fighting CoT at high lvls. Jump in the middle of the mob. make sure to use healing flames if you get damaged to much "death mage = painful time" and pump out that super fast killing power. A SS/Inv brute can run down some Nemesis most of the time as well as a range of other VGs. not as strong on the psionics as WP. And the typical Stonner can stand in the middle of a few mobs and laugh. And yet most of the time you kinda find yourself need support for so many little things. Stonners need the most support. "Run, recharge, damage" all that could come to an end with incarnate. but like i said either its heals, extra damage, debuffs, endurance, endurance, more endurance. lets face it. if you wanna rely on your toggles you're gonna need some endurance.
I'm not saying I want the Monk to be able to Solo 5 AVs at the same time. I'm just saying with the steady decline of low lvl teams "1-40" it would be nice to be able to have some passive powers.
all in all its just something my friends and i have thought up. Rather then using 3 bil to create a solo "tank, burte, or scrapper"
People quote what you said, even if it might be right under your post, to show what they are replying to. Because, while I'm replying to you, 14 other people might be as well, and I have no idea who my post might look like I'm responding to once I'm done. It's pretty common practice.

So I'm wondering what it is you really want. Because if your intent is to create an AT that can solo at +4/+8 without any IOs or support, I think that is a little unrealistic.

Yes. It's called Balance. It's to stop any one AT being 'better' than any other. Or any set from being better than any other.
You don't need IOs to be able to solo or be badass anyway. My Invul/Elec tanker, jsut by adding tough and weave, can stand there and smack mobs about till kingdom come, laughing happily as they bounce off him like rubber bullets. Sure, anything psychic is going to mess him up, but thats the cost that comes with only taking 10% S/L damage.
Same with Granite Tanks. Best def and res in the game (curse them...) at the cost of movement and damage.
What your asking for is an actual Tankmage. And that ain't going to happen.

it was just an idea. something to be thought about and worked on. didnt say it was gonna be a perfect idea. the powers can be added to other ATs.
Also
Does no one have anything good to say about all the other stuff i posted?

I don't understand what you're trying to say with your aura suggestion, an example would be helpful.
Also: bō, not bow staff. Kon (the Chinese term for the same weapon) is also acceptable. You can also include the jō (bō is a 6-foot staff*, while jō is 4-foot), and the hanbō or hambō (3-foot)
* Technically, it should be 5.965ft (181.8cm), as the weapon is more formally the "rokushakubō", or six (roku) shaku (unit of measuresment equal to 30.3cm) bō

I've heard a lot of talk about new or rather mods on costume ideas. I figured they are referring to Asymmetrical costumes. This means you can change your character's sleeves and pant legs separate from each other. Long left buckled leather sleeve and no sleeve on the right. or Hot pants right leg and long tights left leg. Stuff like that. Also take it to the gloves and boots as well with exception of height as in platform boots with flat would not be an option. These new options could fit with some kind of Bounty Hunter gear thing.
I've also heard some talk about new ATs. Although i don't see much need for a New AT now that hero and villains can be on either side, I can see the one for maybe some Excitement. The only kind of AT i can think of would just wrap up whats left. A Monk. Different from ranged and melee users, healers and buffers. They would be kind of a Solo machine. The option of having Primary Melee or Ranged. Secondary Passive defenses. Not as easy as i made it sound. You'd really have to work on a Monk AT.
Melee = weapons (hook swords, nunchucks, poleblades, etc.) and Kung Fu.
Ranged = Chi/kinetic melee type. bows. all that stuff i think is already in the game but the chi attack would be like punching someone 10 feet away. Even to the point of having extend'o limbs.
Passive/Defenses = Meditation "kinda like willpower", Psychic Shields, Energy forms/transformations, Water/Fire/Wind/Earth control "basic all elements or parts of each in one set"
any ideas for that would be helpful as my friends and I have not given it too much thought.
And if not a Monk at least add a Bow Staff to the melee types. Because that would just rock.
I dont know whats been added to the new animal pack however adding horns to all the beastly faces would be cool.
Last thing goes along with Auras. I wanna see an aura that's kinda like fire but instead of coming from the body it covers them lightly from about 2 foot away. Kind of like an unstable energy aura.
