What are the new powersets in the works??

The only other one I know about is Staff Fighting. That is through leaks though, not any official announcement as far as I know.
Titan Weapons. This will be a large-weapon-based power set. Think buster swords, street lights, rail road crossing signs, etc. The set will introduce a new mechanic, known so far as "momentum." The attack animations start out slow, and increase speed with each following attack made. Many are speculating that this will work like a Brute's "fury bar" where you will build a certain amount of momentum that will decrease over time when you are not attacking.
Also, as said above, it is possible a staff melee set is in the works, but due to the rapid deletion of the leaked video, and the lack of any comment from Paragon Studios staff, it remains speculation at this point.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
There was something about 'Titanic Weapons' too, but I don't know anything about it other than the name.

Synapse has also indicated that there is powerset proliferations for Dominators in the works.

Awesome, thanks for all the info and quick response.
Ah yes. Titan Weapons. I'll finally have a use for this costume:
Cloud needs his eyes to glow, but otherwise that costume rocks, Neo 
Titan Swords sounds like a lousy set for Stalkers, but I will definitely be rolling a Titan/EA Brute!
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.

I don't think stalkers are getting Titan Weapons, it's just that whoever was taking the pictures was playing on a stalker at the time and didn't want to fiddle with the AT selection every time.
Titanic Weapons are perfect for Stalkers. They can *hide* behind them.

When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!

Synapse outright said that there is NO powerset proliferation coming for Dominators. They're getting new powers, but they haven't said what, or even dropped any hints.

Absolutely not true. He said there was none for Issue 21. He just as emphatically said there were some coming. Naturally, they won't be straight 'ports for the assault set though (like Earth Assault).

Seriously, what's left to proliferate, other than Illusion? And if they were going to do that, it would be in this round. It wouldn't need any new art assets, and that was the sticking point for this round of proliferation - if it needed art, it wasn't happening this time.

I think the quote that Roderick and Rosa are arguing over is this one;

Going to nip this potential rumor in the bud. There is no immediate plan to revamp, remove, alter, change, nerf or buff this archetype as a whole. I never said changes were coming. I said we had plans for the archetype. As in plans for power sets. So, stay tuned for that in the future! (And by future I mean post I21.) Also, if you didn't see your set proliferated it is likely because we plan on having another round (or rounds) of proliferation in future issues and we only had enough time to implement as many sets as we did. Regards, Synapse |

And in my opinion it could be taken either way - all he says is that there is plans for powersets which could be either new ones or 'tweeked' ports (like Earth Assault wasn't a direct port from anything).

Unless they are planning to change it for Dominators - add something in place of one of the redundant invisibility powers, say.

It's statements like this that make me dislike powerset proliferation. Every time a new melee set comes out, people like to pretend that it is perfectly logical to completely disregard the actual concept of the ATs and give them to all four melee ATs. Stalkers are supposed to stealthy. How are you supposed to be stealthy while lugging around a MASSIVE weapon like a Railroad Crossing? I don't even WANT to know what orifice you think you're gonna hide it in!

Actually, I'd forgotten about that post. I was talking about something he said in a uStream (which is why I didn't provide a link), where he basically said that there was nothing left to proliferate, and that there was "all new" stuff in the works for them that they're not ready to talk about yet. That, to me, sounds more like new powersets. Proliferation isn't "all new".

@Roderick
Staff Fighting is actually the new MM set miexd with sonic:
1. yell at employees: foe -rez all
2. intern: basic pet, needs a lot of texting time
3. screem: pbaoe sonic
4. train lackey: pet upgrade
5. repremand: high damage sonic
6. secrataries: 3-5 pets
7. staff meeting: leadership-like uprade for entire staff +acc +def
8. manager high grade pet
9. Restructure: after long years of devoted service, "restucturing" causes general enragement +dam and randomly targetting an employee to be fired, sending your manager in a blind *RAGE* ending with self destruct

Hey All, I am a 6 year Veteran player that has just come back from a year and a half absence from the game.
I know about Beam Rifle, Street Justice (omg I cannot wait!), and Time Manipulation, but could someone tell me or link me to a list of other power sets that are being worked on, or that are incoming soon(tm)?
I'd appreciate it, thank you in advance!
