From the patch notes:

Power Pool Changes

The first and second tier powers in Fighting, Concealment, Leadership, Presence and Medicine are now available at level 4 instead of 6.

The fourth tier power in Fighting, Concealment, Leadership, Presence and Medicine is now available at level 14 instead of 20.
I translated this as: (to use the fighting pool example) Boxing and Kick are tier 1, since they could originally be chosen when the pool is first available, and Tough is tier 2.

However, when I go to choose the fighting pool on live, Tough is still unavailable. Same with Aid Self.

I /bugged in game, but haven't received an answer from an obviously overwhelmed tech support. I have a number of respecs on hold waiting for the answer and thought I'd search here. When a search turned up nothing, I thought I'd post.

Can anyone confirm if this is WAI or a bug that's somewhere down what must be a gargantuan list?

(and I'll bet it's long)

Tough is tier 3, so no, that's WAI. Currently only the travel pools will let you pick a tier 3 power right off the bat.

Your classification does make more sense though

Also, /bug doesn't get a response generally. It doesn't go to the same group that /petition goes to.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

While your clasification makes sense, seeing as they mention tier 4 and there are only 4 powers it makes sense that tough is tier 3. Although really they could have said the 1st and 2nd powers rather than tier.

Tough is T2. I don't know why everyone seems to think it's T3. Weave is T3.

Historically, the first two powers in a pool are T1, the 3rd is T2 (and requires one or both T1 to unlock) and the 4th is T3 (which requires two of the previous powers to unlock). A lot of pools now have 5th powers, which are also T3.

The changes to the Travel power pools mean that you can now take the T2 powers without having a T1, but the non-travel powers are, AFAIK, unaffected by this.

Edit: The fact that the patch notes keep using "Tier" in the wrong context isn't helpful in the slightest.
