Where can I see clips/pics of Epic/Patron powers?
So I have to ask - is there some place where I can see videos or screenshots of all the Epic and Patron powers, at least for Scrappers?

Copy that patron equipped toon to test 4 times
Using the aforementioned respec, change one copy each into a different Patron Pool, take all patron powers from that patron.
Go to a low level zone (still on test).
Try out powers.
Profit.

Here is an old youtube video with clips of the patron powers
Always remember, we were Heroes.
I did the Test thing myself when choosing my Blaster's Epics back in the day.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction
Oh, wait, I think I have a shot of Ironik using Laser Beam eyes against Whatshisface in the Incarnate mission. BRB.
Ironik is an MA/Regen Scrapper.

I suppose I could go to Test and try those out. I hadn't thought it it, believe it or not However, I'm looking for the Patrons available to Scrappers, and I'm not sure if I have a level 50 villain with powers equivalent to those. The link in the video, for instance, featured Soul Storm, which I don't think Scrappers get, but I could be wrong.
My original hope, to be honest, was to find a database for the things similar to how I can check out all available weapons on ParagonWiki. Say, that doesn't have screenshots of those, does it?

anyone have a picture of the different symbols for the different patrons?
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
I checked, and I don't have access to any villain with Patron pools who has the same Patron powers as Scrappers do. Scrappers seem to have gotten the Stalker Patron powers, and I don't have any Stalkers above about 33.

Dont' think it has screenshots, but if you're wondering what powers are available, it will list them broken down by AT.
Leviathan -
Power Level Effect
Spirit Shark 41 Ranged Damage over time (Lethal) Foe: Knockback
Water Spout 41 PBAoE Minor Damage (Smashing) Foe: Knockback/Fear/Disorient
Hibernate 44 +Regen, +Recov, Invuln, Self Hold
Spirit Shark Jaws 44 Ranged DoT (Lethal) Foe: Hold -Fly
Summon Guardian 47 Summon Warder: Ranged Moderate Damage (Smashing)
1. - Throw a shark.
2 - little tornado.
3 - You're in a block of ice.
4- Giant shark sticking out of the ground.
5 - Like the coral guardians in Sharkshead.
Mace Blast 41 Ranged, Moderate Damage (Smashing, Energy), Foe: Knockback
Mace Beam 41 Sniper, Superior Damage (Smashing, Energy), Foe: Knockback

Disruptor Blast 44 Ranged (Targetted Area of Effect), Moderate Damage (Smashing, Energy), Foe: Knockback

Electric Shackles 44 Ranged, Minor Damage(Energy), Foe: Hold, -Endurance
Ball Lightning 44 Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Moderate Damage over Time(Energy), Foe -Endurance
Summon Adept 47 Summon Mu Adept: Ranged Moderate Damage(Energy)
All red lightning, of course - watch any mu (or Shock Treatment for ball ightning.) Electric Shackles looks like what it sounds like - red electric "arcs" holding the target to the ground.
Dark Blast 41 Ranged, Moderate Damage(Negative), Foe: -Accuracy
Moonbeam 41 Sniper, Superior Damage(Negative), Target -Accuracy
Soul Storm 44 Ranged, Moderate Damage over Time(Negative), Foe: Hold
Shadow Meld 44 Self: +DEF
Summon Widow 47 Summon Blood Widow: Melee Moderate Damage(Lethal)
Soul storm's going to be the bright glowy tentacles spinning someone in midair. The blasts aren't bright (as I recall,) but just like Dark Blast. Shadow meld - unknown. I *want* to say it's like the dark armors, but don't recall right offhand.

I was a bit hasty in writing a "particle cannon beam" into my character under the assumption that one of the Scrapper sets had it, without realising that... No, none did. So I considered using Patron powers, but as I've seen these won't cut it, either.
Now, I did hear talk of further power customization coming (as opposed to "we're considering it"), and if this includes Pool and Epic customization, then that might solve a large part of that problem. Until then... Well, we'll see. I guess Energy Torrent will do.

Yeah, Energy Torrent is likely the best bet, but nothing exists that is perfect (or close to) for it (If you don't like the energy blast effects).
I had found a few videos with the Patron Pools on youtube, back when I wanted to make some decisions, but nothing that showed everything I wanted to see in great detail or anything (haven't clicked the links provided yet).
Anyway, this reminded me that, as soon as I began playing this game, I had a project in mind where I was going to put together a series of videos displaying every single power (primaries, secondaries, general, epic and patron pools... just excluding redundancies). While it was entirely to create a user resource, I was using a character of mine to do it as an in-character study of the documented powers that various supers have.
It was a large task. And I didn't get very far before Power Customization came out, which made it pretty much unneeded (and I was glad I hadn't sunk too much time into it... yay for putting off planned projects of silly!).
Of course, I was thinking that General, Epic and Patron Pools would be available to see and customize any day after Power Customization was implemented, hehe...
And now... I find myself wanting to have such full documentation of all of the Incarnate Powers and their effects as well...

If I could snag anything from Energy Blast that isn't Energy Torrent (or Power Push), I would be happy, but I don't see an Epic that offers that. Keep thinking we need a purely ENERGY Mastery set, as distinct from Body.

I hope the rumours of power customization being worked on are true, and that it's better than the half-hearted customization options for Blasters.
Either way, DOO EET! I would gladly peruse such a resource and give you many "likes" on YouTube

I ran into a bit of a quandary yesterday when planning ahead to see what Epics I wanted to pick for a Scrapper of mine. I wanted something that would look like a "particle cannon" shot out of the hands, for a fairly broad definition of the term, and realised I had very little choice in the matter. The only Energy Blast attack - which is what I was picturing - that Scrappers have access to is Energy Torrent which... Isn't appropriate... But then is it? I don't know what the Epic version looks like. I considered trying Ghost Widow's Patron pool for the Dark Blasts, but I don't know if that'll work, either, since I've no idea what her Dark Blast and Gloom powers look like, not beyond "pastel darkness."
So I have to ask - is there some place where I can see videos or screenshots of all the Epic and Patron powers, at least for Scrappers? I'm not really picky - YouTube, BlipTV, Photobucket, Image Shack, anything will do, so long as I know what these powers look like BEFORE I take them, as respecs don't grow on trees for me to be messing around uninformed. I know there were clips of the Incarnate Judgement powers recently, but I don't recall ever seeing such of the game's Epics.
I did discover that customizable epics so that I could cause Laser Beam Eyes to fire from the fists would solve all of my problems but... Well...
