Have We Seen The Last of Non-Incarnate Powersets?

Looking forward to Snot Blast and Shoe Manipulation!

just to bump this up a bit, one thing that was ticking in my head today at work is that im not sure we need so many new powersets as we need new power customization options, both in the pools and the existing mains, and a few more epics. as it stands, a new powerset is largely a mechanical thing, whereas what johnny has described is something that could be accomplished mostly with existing powers with more thematic re-skins. i am, and will continue to be, an enthusiastic supporter of more animations, customization options, and finally getting to epics, pools and the like. i think that would address more players needs with less extraneous balance issues than futzing around making cantaloupe blast and snowshoe melee because jack kirby dropped acid one day.

i often mention wanting a control set that uses the labels and paper dolls of a Japanese onmyoji. rather than making a thematically limited new control set, make new animations for gravity or some mechanically Germane set and just let me sub in the animations to look like im tossing the Japanese magic stuff. other stuff too like wands/staffs for blasts to make a wizard, or elemental ray guns, or heck, a guitar for sonic blast. you could make a new set and have it become an outlier, or just use the mechanics we have and let us alter the existing sets in such a way to give us thematic breadth.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

New animations would definitely go a long way toward freshening up existing powersets. Dual Pistols, in particular, could stand to have the more staid handgun animations from the MM set ported over.

Since the powers are already partially in the game, I'd think creating a Whip Melee set (Scrappers, Stalkers, Tanks, Brutes) would be the lowest-impact powerset. A quarter of the set is already there. A level 32 power of Dual Flailing Bullwhips would be awesome, too.
