Rampant Power Set Speculation


Adeon Hawkwood

 

Posted

The powers introduced last year were Mastermind Primary, Controller and Dominator Primary, Defender Secondary, Blaster and Corruptor Primary, Tanker Secondary, Stalker, Brute, and Scrapper Primary.

They have announced a Defender Primary, Mastermind, Controller, and Corruptor secondary.

With that in mind, I am guessing that they will release a Blaster Secondary, a Dominator Secondary, a Tanker Primary, and a Brute, Scrapper, and Stalker secondary.

That's the standard speculation. Now into the Full Bore RAMPANT speculation.

Dominator Secondary: Rifle Assault. Because everyone needs redraw.

Blaster Secondary: Marital Manipulation. I really don't know what this set would be, but it'd be great to fake out all the people who want Dual Pistols/Martial Arts.

Tanker Primary: Carp Armour is too much to hope for. I suspect Size Shifting is also not on the table. Perhaps Psionic Protection or Radiation Armour?

Edited for Relevant Question:
Do you think this is a petless mastermind?

Wouldn't "Spousal Aggravation" be better?

Radiation Melee/Armor and Plant Armor is all I have so far.

Some kind of Devouring Earth infestation possibly. Or they went to Ravenholm. There's a reason no one goes to Ravenholm anymore...

The look doesn't quite fit the theme of the Devouring Earth. At least...

I suppose if you look at a greater devoured, and just grab the mouth tentacles and pull, you could end up with something like that.

No one else looks at the Petless guy with the whip and thinks "Maybe they're adding Whips to melee classes?"

Definitely a petless mastermind. I think I can piece together what happened before this screen shot: Infected seer hits MM and pets with a confuse power, either resulting in pets and MM killing eachother, or unsummoning and an attempt to attack.
it seems one of the seers just hit drain psyche too.

Looks like an energy sword to me. Perhaps they're adding Lightsaber Melee?

No, that's the Hellfire Whip but just colored very brightly.

This is not the time to be reasonable.

That's a Bow-Staff that's been hit with a damage de-buff!

You heard it here first: Bow Staves in issue 21 and also more obvious graphics for de-buffs.

... I suppose rubbery fists wouldn't be inherently obvious.

Look at the screenshots of the new Seed of Hamidon.
Those headcrabs totally fit the theme because the DE are different in Praetoria.

My serious one would be Insect Summoning (or a Devouring Earth epic AT which can do something similiar and swarm enemies in hordes of chattering bugs).

.
The Praetorian DE looks less "natural" and more biotechnological with a bit of lovecraftian horror.

BTW, do you think the next EATS could be DE (magic origin) and Imperial Forces (tech origin)?

Article on Massively mentioned two-handed melee powers, possibly with something akin to Fury or Defiance. (It also mentioned Team Inspirations, though that may have been speculation rather than reportage.)

I'm going to go out on limb: Duplication primary for MMs. Ever since Doppelganger tech was released, I've been of the opinion that it was either a spin-off from or proof-of-concept for Duplication.
