Power Proliferation 3.0: Champion Weighs
Too many alts already! NOOOOOO

Hero Cleanup Protocol estory now available! Through Smashwords.com and most ebook retailers!
A ton of very nifty power proliferations, energy aura being revamped looks pretty wicked and it being on scrappers even better. I've been hoping for stone or ice melee on scrappers for a while but I doubt it'll ever occur. I'd say super strength also but I doubt it'd ever occur.
I'll always be a "Champion" at heart. My server away from home.

More excited about the revamps to /Poison and /Energy Aura than anything else. Those have been coming since freakin' Q4 2005.
I'd waited to make a thugs/ mastermind, wanting to pair it with /sonic. (concept) Now, I will be able to make "Fidon't," the disobedient, howling mastermind pup and his roving pack of pet people! (They're neutered, of course, properly house trained, and most of them know how to sit and stay)
Brutes are getting Katanas, Broadswords, & Regeneration? Well, this sounds especially tasty, but I'm kind of wondering why Tanks haven't received the power of holding their broadswords yet. Katanas will be a nice addition to Brutes: Fast animations & serious damage. Broadswords are little slower to me, but War Mace & Battle Axe are already available, so I'm still interested.

I can only imagine how disgustingly powerful a Brute will be with the option to take Parry or Divine Avalanche.

Fast animations = good fury
Divine Avalanche = why hello there, just jump right into melee, son
It will miss the crunch of a Golden Dragonfly critical, but I could live with that
I am already looking for the slot to replace with a katana brute

I had a Energy/Energy Brute for conceptual reasons many moons ago and I honestly wasn't thrilled with it, so I subsequently deleted it. And since then I've gotten my most recent Electric/Electric Scrapper to fifty and IO'd out, so I don't see any reason to basically roll it again since Energy Aura seems to be gettin' a similar treatment.
For i21, I'll probably roll a Electric/Time Corruptor. The buff mechanics for that particular set seemed pretty nifty, where a buff already on a character will enhance the effectiveness o' another and different buff.
On a side note, and I don't wish to derail, but farther on down the road I will say that I'm pretty excited for Titan Weapons and the Momentum mechanic that Posi talked about. Good stuff.

Time Manipulation Corruptor.
Poison Corruptor too.
More guides to write oh me oh my.
Edit: its funny, I've wanted Psy Blast for Corruptors since forever, but now its on the horizon I'm not that interested anymore. Suppose I could make my TM Corruptor Psy, but can't get enough of dat double-Scourging RoF.

Five words: Force Field / Fire Blast Defender.
@Celestial Lord and @Celestial Lord Too
A Defender who can almost do good damage, but not quite. I'm waiting on FF till Corruptors get it.
The Melee Teaming Guide for Melee Mans
Not interested in any of the melee crossovers until they offer alternates to the copy paste animations they share (bs/wm/axe).
MA is a meh set to me, and while I like my 50 Reg/Kat it's much to single target centric for my taste.
Ports or better then no ports, but I'm waiting for Titan Weapons personally before leveling any more melee toons.
Another Tank primary? Sign me up
Champion-
Flaming Intern/Tanker(main)
The Ice Albatross/Blaster
Apollonius/Controller
Valtrix/Defender
All the tank sets in the Intern variety
Burning Intern/Brute(CoV Main)
And the list goes on...
While I'm not too crazy about most of the changes, there are a few I'm psyched about. I've been waiting since forever for Ice Melee to be ported to Brutes or Scrappers. ...... Still waiting.
I'll be rollin' up a Fire/Time obviously.
Oh and the big one, that I've been waitin' since pretty much the beginnin' Fire Blast for my Empath, FINELY. That'll be first up on my list when I get back.
It's almost sad when I look at my account and it goes like this:
Fire/Cold Corr
Fire/Kin Corr
Fire/Therm Corr
Mind/Fire Dom
Fire/Fire Brute
and soon to be Emp/Fire Def.
Fire much? YES.

Sweet Jebus! I've been gone too long.. I have lost touch.
Crud, I have to delete a whole bunch of toons who never hit 50 to make room for some more who have the possibility to maybe get replaced at a later date by another set of toons...
Champion.

We just coded it on a simple X-currentDate formula, so it nerfs itself automatically. -Babs on Accuracy Nerfs
Over 3 years, 1 - 50, whole lotta alt's, still having fun.
As much as I hate to say it, I don't see anything that really excites me. Poison corruptors might be okay I guess, but I'm really sad that we're still not seeing any dark secondary for controllers ._. I want my ill/dark.

I'm sure everyone has seen this by now; if you haven't enjoy, wipe the drool from your mouth when you're done, & type a reply.
What's everyone thoughts?
I, myself, am caught up on dark blast & poison moving to some ATs that I am familiar enough with to play effectively so I will love & cherish it.
Thermal & Fire blast finally making their way to defenders is awesome & I'm sure the server will be crawling with fire trowing defenders.
I'm kind of "eh" on War Mace & Battle Axe for scrappers, though I may roll a battle axe scrapper.. Mmm choppy. (Maybe Horus is more excited.) It's a smart move, not much left for the devs to port over to scrappers except Energy Melee, Super Strength (Not happening.. IMO), & Ice Melee.. I guess I could've said Stone Melee.
Tankers getting Super Reflexes, yet another nice move for the devs. With the set going to tank values, it should be pretty easy to soft cap. Plus the fact of SR having ~90% (? It's been awhile) resistance to defense debuff. Martial Arts is going for thematic reason alone, I think. But, it's kind of cool nonetheless.
Corruptors getting psychic blast? I think they've been asking for it since CoV, so the devs finally caved. Might be a nice set, I'm just not into the psy blasting business.. Loved to be though if someone could get me excited enough.. Maybe the corruptor is just what I need.
Defenders & Controllers getting Poison. Awesome, I've always wanted a poison toon, but I'm really bored on MM's, thus I really didn't get too far.
Brutes are getting Katanas, Broadswords, & Regeneration? Well, this sounds especially tasty, but I'm kind of wondering why Tanks haven't received the power of holding their broadswords yet. Katanas will be a nice addition to Brutes: Fast animations & serious damage. Broadswords are little slower to me, but War Mace & Battle Axe are already available, so I'm still interested.
Stalkers get Ice Armor, but not Ice Melee. Well one piece of the puzzle is nice right? Are the stalker fans happy? I mean, it sounds like it'd be fun. stealthy & deathly blocks of ice.
Now I know what you're thinking, "GATT, you didn't say anything about Energy Aura!"
I know, I saved it for last:
Not only is it going to Scrappers, they are fixing it! Hurray!!! Sorry, if you're not as excited about that as I am, I just love the thought of energy aura being, ya'know, "Good to okay" to play. Love the concept behind the armor. Just saying.
Now it's your turn to weigh in, Champion.
