Kirsten's Consolidated AT Suggestion Thread
By
Baronesa,
Posted on: 2011-11-19 18:07 in Suggestions and Ideas
I have been thinking for a while: Why don't we have any Beast-Boy/Ben 10/Carnage/Elastic Man-style Shapeshifting? I know we have khelds, but beyond that, nada. Thus, I propose:
Morphers are a Form-Based Jack AT, mostly attack oriented. Now that we may soon be getting quadrupedal Skeletons soon, this could be not too far off! Basically, you get your single Primary set, Attacks(which are effected by your form) and a group of Secondaries to choose from(Your forms and defensive clicks/toggles/Autos). I was thinking that this AT would be either Magic or Mutation. Possibly a choice between them.
The Morpher:
You are the faceless. You are not bound by any one body. You are the shifter! Master of many Bodies!
Primary: Shapeshifted Fighting (Unshifted Melee DMG[Smashing], basic fighting moves)
T1: Weak Attack: Melee or Ranged (Minor DMG[Varies])
T2: Basic Attack: Melee or Ranged (Moderate DMG[Varies])
T3: Weakening Attack: Melee or Ranged (Tiny DMG[Varies], Foe [Stun, Debuffs, or Knockback]
T4: Aim: Click (Self +ToHit)
T5: Strong Attack: Melee or Ranged (High DMG[Varies])
T6: Wide Attack: Melee[Cone] or Ranged[Cone] (High DMG[Varies])
T7: Build Up: Click (Self +DMG)
T8: Sweep Attack: Melee[PBAoE] or Ranged[PBAoE] (Superior DMG[Varies])
T9: Super Attack: Melee or Ranged (Extreme DMG[Varies])
Secondary Template: Forms
T1: First Form: Toggle (Self Small +Res/+Def, Normal DMG)
T2: First Auto: Auto (Self +Res/+Def/+Regen)
T3: First Toggle: Toggle (Self +Res[Mez])
T4: First Buff: Click (Self +Def[Ranged or Melee])
T5: Second Form: Toggle (Self Medium +Res/+Def, Medium +DMG)
T6: Second Toggle: Toggle (Self +Res/Def/+Regen)
T7: Second Auto: Auto (Self +SPD, +Res/+DEF)
T8: Second Buff: Click (Self +Res/+Def/+Regen, +ToHit)
T9: Third Form: Toggle (Self Large +Res/Def/+Regen, Large +DMG, +ToHit)
Ideas for Secondary(Form) sets include:
Animals(Wolf/Bear/Gorilla)-Good for Melee DPS/Tanking. Automatic Leaping powers.
Dinosaur(Dracorex/Velociraptor/Dimetrodon)-Fast, but relatively low damage, Melee DPS. Running.
Robot/Powered Armor(Small/Medium/Hulkbuster-size)-Durable, good mix of Melee and Ranged DPS.
Elemental(Lesser/Normal/Greater)-Ranged DPS. Comes with flying abilities.
Dragons(Wyrmling/Young/Mature)-Claw-based Melee, with some fire cones. first form has improved running and leaping, 2nd and 3rd have flight.
Etc.
==Morpher (Alt. Version)== (Suggested by Ridia, edited by daveyj3)
1 - brawl/kick[example of unshifted attack light]
1 - Transform* [grants attacks: 1 ranged single target, 1 ranged cone, 1 immob, and 1 meelee attack][toggle transform]
2 - air superiority/jump kick[example of unshifted attack medium]
6 - Empower Transformation [can only be used while transformed. adds ranged AoE or pbAoE, hold, meelee attack to transformed state][toggle, no endurance cost, but individual powers have end costs.]
8 - spinning strike/dragon's tail [example of unshifted attack medium aoe]
12 - build up [short bonuses]
18 - Altered State - [[adds a path aura fx.][toggle] can be used while both shifted and unshifted. grants minor dmg pbaoe]
26 - Spawn Formling [spawns one temporary pet depending on your transformation, imp, tornado, water spout, animate stone, shade, seedling, robot, etc.]
32 - Ultimate Shift [Transformed model fx upgrade, [extra branches, rocks, fiery wings, icicles, shadowy floaties, targeting drones, etc.] induces/enhances transformation, adds high dmg ranged, high dmg meelee, meelee cone, and one nuke power [ranged or meelee]][toggle with time limit similar to phase shift, can only be used while transformed]
*The Transform power forces the player to pick a type of transformation from which other set powers related to the transform will be decided. Example "Botanical Transform" - You become a Razorvine, have plant control and thorny attacks.
Types of Transform [selected from list when Transform is Purchased]:
- Beast Form [borrow from Beast mastery and claws. might have to transform into a bear to make work.]
- Plant Form [borrow from plant control/thorns. become a DE type tree-thing]
- Elemental Form (fire, earth, wind, ice)** [fire - easy, earth - easy, ice - easy, wind - can borrow from Storm summoning, Scirocco's signature powers, and maybe a couple other wind like powers in game.]
- Shadow Form [easy, lots of dark powers]
- Cyborg Form [would use super strength and various guns/rifles]
- Demonic Form* [altered fx of WS powers]
- Celestial Form* [altered fx of PB powers]
- Kinetic Form* kinetic meelee and kinetics [repel would have knockback become knockdown and add minor dmg component perhaps. different effects with animations from kinetics for new powers maybe]
the secondary would function more like an defense set, like you mention lol, but i would tweak them to work better when you are actually transformed. i would also go ahead and give the elemental aura defense sets, in case somebody picked the elemental transform and wanted a set to work thematically. they would function more like stalker secondaries than other meelee scondaries, replacing Hide with something either more complementary to the Transformed state or the Un-Transformed state. also, i would remove any toggle pbAoEs so as not to conflict with the toggle pbaoe in the primary set. though if it was an EAT, it would have one set that is sort of the base of all these sets, looking mostly like WP or Regen, and maybe a shield or two who's fx depend on the type of transform purchased. XD
examples:
- Invulnerability
- Regeneration
- Ninjitsu
- Willpower
- Fire Aura
- Ice Armor
- Dark Aura
- Stone Armor
The Rikti Prestige AT is intended to be a mix of Melee and/or Ranged DPS, Support, and control. You can choose out of two main Powersets: Rifle & Sword, or Psionic training. I was think that you could have a choice of holding a one-handed blade in one hand and a pistol in the other, or a "Rifle-Sword" like the Headmen have.

Alright, this is one of my older suggestions. This is my idea for the PPD Heroic Epic AT: A branching AT with three career choices: the starter SWAT/Beat Cop, and later, the Hardsuit and Psi-Officer. I drew heavily on The Arachnos AT's at first, and if you have any better ideas for the powers, or if there are balance issues, be sure to speak up. I won't stab you.
==PPD HEAT==
As a PPD Officer, you will have Evenly balanced hand-to-hand and firearm training to start. Later, you may choose to specialize in a Psionic abilities or use of a PPD Hardsuit.
Tracks:
A: Officers: Starting as a normal PPD Beat Cop, with basic Hand-to-hand Training and your trusty PPD pistol, you aim to take a bite out of crime.
*Quickstats:

A2: Psi-Officers: You can do stuff with your brain that normal people can only dream of, and instead of going off and becoming one of those spandexed yahoos, you have decided to join the PPD. Congratulations. Now back to patrols.

Not sure on the powers for this one...
*Secondary: Midnight Artifacts.
This set is mostly just smaller buffs, but certain power choices open up sets of "Midnight Recipes", which are unique to this AT. These Recipes can be used to craft extra attacks and buffs, and there are a few "Mode Toggles" which also grant access to certain extra powers.
The temp powers have to be bought with special Midnighters-only salvage ("Magical Component") that drops at the end of missions, especially EAT mission arcs. You also get half a set of salvage every 10 levels, starting at level 1, meaning you can max out 2.5 sets but need to run missions to get more. Each power must be bought individually and stacks up to 5 hours. There may be an option to get the temp powers at higher power for higher levels, or which last permanently at a higher Magical Component price. Temp powers are affected by global bonuses etc and by what you slot into the unlocking power, which can receive both normal related TO/DO/SO/IO enhancements, and a specialized set of ATOs (Improved Crafting), which give global bonuses to Midnight Artifact Powers.
Artifact Armour - Gives 5% res to all by psionics and 3% defence. Also gives access to the Armour temp power pool. If toggled on, grants access to these powers.

There's been a running gag on the forums from time to time about PEATs or Praetorian Epic Archetypes. I figured I'd take the gag and make it a touch more serious while hewing towards it's comedic birth.
The Devoured Epic Archetype, a PEAT:
The Devoured Epic Archetype would be a Mutant origin EAT with both Resistance and Loyalist Praetorian story-paths unique to it's type. The Resistance Path would be that the Infected human is seeking to aid the Resistance in taking down Cole, the only human capable of harming or stopping the Hamidon. Initially, the character's allegiance is to the Hamidon itself, and their primary goal is to destroy Cole and then the Sonic Fences keeping the citizens of Praetoria safe. Once that goal is accomplished, the Devouring Earth will tear down Praetoria and kill all the humans.They join the Resistance under the guise of a naturalist mutant who has control over plants and stone. The Resistance, eager for new recruits, accepts the story and helps them to fight against Cole, their joint enemy. After the initial Storyarc the PEAT character can choose whether he wants to continue to aid the Resistance, or Defect to Cole's side as a Loyalist. This option is granted only after the Nova Praetoria arc is completed, the arc which releases the PEAT character from Hamidon's direct control. The Loyalist Path would be infiltrating the Regime as a PEAT with the ultimate goal of becoming close enough to Cole and his Praetors as their lackey to destroy him, and the Sonic Fence, so that the Devouring Earth can kill all the humans. They would join Powers Division as a Naturalist mutant with control over plants and stone. Powers Division, required by law to accept all powered individuals, will accept the story and help them to fight the Resistance. The Loyalist PEAT must complete their Nova Praetoria storyarc, in which they break free from Hamidon's direct control, and are given the ability to make their own choices. At which point they can choose to join the Resistance or continue to aid the Loyalists. Regardless of which path they pick, after they complete the initial PEAT arc they are cut off from the Hamidon and can no longer contact it telepathically for more missions directing them to contacts or information about which option to choose on their missions beyond Nova Praetoria. After they reach Imperial City, both PEAT arcs focus on destroying or exposing other Devoured characters and delves into the truth of what happened to the Hamidon. Whether or not a character continues on the PEAT line or chooses only the standard Loyalist or Resistance arcs they will, on occasion, be ambushed by minions of the Devoured in much the same way that PBs and WSs are attacked by Nicti, but in ambush form and usually consisting of several weaker than average foes to represent their lack of advancement compared to the PEAT character. These ambushes would continue into Neutropolis, but end on exiting Praetoria. It should be noted, that Devoured Players would -look- human, and not be monstrous to facilitate their ability to infiltrate the Loyalists and Resistance for Hamidon's ultimate goal. Being an obviously Devoured monster would mark them for immediate death. The Primary Powerset of the Devoured Epic Archetype would be divided much like the Peacebringer or Warshade Primary Powerset. 13 powers to choose from, with certain levels opening up 2 options at a time. This gives them a bit of build flexibility and makes a single archetype feel almost as if it were multiple ATs. Each tier opens up at the normal level (tier 1 and 2 at level one, tier 3 at level 2, both Tier 4 powers at level 6, and so on) The Secondary is similarly oversized, and contains elements of control, buffing, and personal defense. It also offers a "Play" to tie into the primary by creating Emanators which can buff the part, and with a Tier 7 power from the primary set: Animate and follow the group around. All of the powers in both sets take marked advantage of the new bout of animation customization that I presume will function like the SS and MA customization (Same attack, different animations). This allows players to choose a single type of DE to emulate (Boulder, Herder, Fungi, Crystal, Swarm) or to use a mix and match method to best encapsulate their Devoured character, or roleplay their character in a different way, if they prefer.
Praetorian Epic Archetype Primary Powerset: Devoured Assault
Tier 1: Devoured Strike: Single Target melee attack, Moderate damage and recharge, Chance to KD. This power takes advantage of the new animation options to animate as either a Stone-fist or Crystal-fist attack or a spine-styled lunge with options for Wooden spikes, Crystal spikes, or Chitin spikes.
Tier 2: Devoured Lance: Single Target ranged attack, Moderate damage and recharge, Chance to KD. This power takes advantage of the new animation options to animate as either stone or crystal spears or as a thrown spine attack with customization for crystal, wood, or chitin arm-spikes.
Tier 3: Thrall: This power functions similarly to a Mastermind pet summons, with one, two, or three randomized devouring earth underlings based on your level. However, the underlings are uncontrolled. The minions are crystals, mushrooms, herders, swarms, or boulders, chosen randomly at every summoning. Attempting to summon more only fills your quota of three. Possible customization, later, for specific underlings. Alternatively, multiple identical powers which lock the PEAT character out of choosing the others, which create a specific set of pets.
Tier 4: Devoured Slam: Single target High damage moderate recharge melee attack with a chance to Immobilize. This attack can animate as Stone or Crystal Mallet, or a double-arm thrusting lunge with spine-customization for wood, crystal, or Chitin.
Tier 4: Devoured Grasp: Minor damage single target Immobilize. It animates as either Hurl boulder, with the boulder transferring into the standard earth control immobilize with both crystal and stone customization, or as Impale, with wood customization for a transition to "Entangle" from plant control or as a chitinous spine which follows the standard "Impale" animation and adds dripping venom.
Tier 5: Devoured Crash: PBAoE Moderate damage attack with chance to KD, animates as Tremor or with animation customization as Thorn Burst with customization options for crystal, wood, or chitin spikes.
Tier 6: Devoured Blast: Cone Moderate damage attack using the "Throw Spines" animation with crystal, chitin, and wood customizations, or the Minions of Igneous "Gravel" attack with crystal, stone, and insect customization.
Tier 7: Minion: This power functions in all ways as "Thrall" but creates a normal minion-sized DE monster and you only get 2 at the highest level. They retain their normal ability to spawn an underling class pet on defeat, which lasts for 60 seconds or until destroyed.
Tier 7: Walking Emanator: Very Long Recharge "Special" power, transforms the targeted Emanator into a minion class pet which follows the caster and provides it's standard AoE buff to all allies near it. This power can be used on Enemy Emanators, as well. The pet emanator lives for 60 seconds.
Tier 8: Devoured Sweep: Melee Cone Moderate damage, moderate recharge. This power would animate as the Ripper power with Crystal, thorn, and Chitin arm spike customization, or as Crowd Control with a stone or crystal mallet or Chitin blade.
Tier 8: Devoured Burst: Moderate damage ranged Targeted AoE. This power would animate as Fissure, with stone and crystal customization, or as Hurl Boulder with Crystal, Wood, and Stone options as well as a Hive option. on impact the hurled Boulder animation would explode outward with thorns, stone, shards, or insects for the Hive animation.
Tier 9: Will of the Earth: Summon a crystal filled with the Will of the Earth mold at a targeted location. All enemies within a small area take superior damage, any enemy corpses in the area are targeted with an "Unchain Essence" style power (max of 10 targets) which creates uncontrolled underling class Devouring Earth monsters in the area. These underlings last for 2 minutes and follow the PEAT character. Same potential customization of pet options as Thrall or Minion. Very long recharge.
--------
Praetorian Epic Archetype Secondary Powerset: Devoured Emanation
Tier 1: Sturdy: An automatic smashing/lethal resistance power with a slight hit of Toxic resistance as well.
Tier 2: Healing Emanator: This power functions as a tree of life emanator, and animates as either the DE Tree of life, a cairn, a patch of mushrooms, a crystal emanator, or a small hive with a few swarm insects floating around it. It lasts for 60 seconds, or until destroyed.
Tier 3: Nature's Guard: This is a toggle self +res(Smash/Lethal/Toxic) power which can animate as a trio of stones or crystals floating around the body or as a "Fireflies" aura of leaves, or as the Swarm aura.
Tier 4: Resistance Emanator: This power creates a DE Cairn at the targeted location and provides a PBAoE resistance (all) bonus to nearby allies. It can appear as a set of crystals, a tiny tree, a stone cairn, a patch of mushrooms, or a small hive with a few swarm insects floating around it. It lasts for 60 seconds, or until destroyed.
Tier 5: Nature's Grasp: Targeted AoE no damage Immobilize. This can animate either as Stone Cages, Roots, or a wide area web.
Tier 6: Nature's Warden: This toggle power grants protection from hold, immobilize, and stunning effects as well as KB effects so long as you are near the ground. In addition it grants a small resistance bonus to all damage types. This power animates as a trio of stones, crystals, or leaves circling your head, or as a swarm of insects flying around it.
Tier 7: Protective Emanator: This power creates an emanator which grants all allies in it's immediate area a mez protection of 2. It can appear as a set of crystals, a stone cairn, a patch of mushrooms, or a small hive with a few swarm insects floating around it. It lasts for 45 seconds, or until destroyed.
Tier 8: Empowering Emanator: You create an emanator which grants all allies in it's area a large recovery boost. It can appear as a set of crystals, a stone cairn, a patch of mushrooms, or a small hive with a few swarm insects floating around it. It lasts for 30 seconds, or until destroyed.
Tier 9: Confusion Cascade: Targeted AoE Confuse, long recharge. Functions as Seeds of confusion, but is power customizable for crystal or stone dust, seeds, or swarms of insects around the afflicted target's heads.
Tier 10: Nature's Defender: Toggle Self+Resistance(Fire/Cold/Energy/Negative/Confuse) Animates as the Fireflies animation for Crystals, Stones, or Insects, or as a trio of leaves floating around the PEAT character.
Tier 11: Nature's Wrath: Point Blank Area of Effect Hold. no damage, can animate as Salt Crystals, Vines, Multi-Target Fossilize, or Cinders with the Smoke animation replaced by swarms of insects.
Tier 12: Power of the Earth: Self-Rez +pet summon power. On clicking this power four uncontrolled Allied DE Lieutenants spawn as you rise with half health, half HP, and a fairly hefty Damage Debuff on yourself. These DE Lt class enemies will not follow you, but will stay on the map until defeated or the mission ends.

The Energy Absorber: One of those few beings capable of truly containing and redirecting energy around them, creating deadly attacks.
Kinetic Absorption - primary; auto; you absorb smashing attacks to charge your Kinetic cells.
Kinetic Strike - secondary; single target; melee; minor damage; uses 1 Kinetic charge
----------
Ambient Absorption - primary; auto; you absorb the ambient energies of the environment to slowly charge only the first level of cells of Thermal and Radiant.
Thermal Strike - secondary; single target; melee; minor fire damage; uses 1 Thermal cell
Radiant Strike - secondary; single target; melee; minor energy damage; uses 1 Radiant cell
-----------
Mental Leech - primary; sngl target; melee; -recharge; you grab your enemy's head draining psionic energy charging 1 Psionic cell
Psionic Strike - secondary; single target; melee; minor psionic damage; uses 1 Psionic cell; chance to Slow
-----------
Thermal Absorption - primary; auto; you absorb fire attacks to charge your Thermal cells
Radiant Absoption - primary; auto; you absorb energy attacks to charge your Radiant cells
Psionic Absorption - primary; auto; you absorb psionic attacks to charge your Psionic cells
Focus toggles: These toggle abilities increase the amount of damage you can absorb and redirect however only 2 of the 4 may be active at any one time in your original mode.
Kinetic Focus - primary; toggle; you're more resistant to Smashing damage, your smashing damage is increased and the threshold for activating a Kinetic cell is decreased(essentially allowing you to use attacks at a higher rate); +Res(Knockback)
Thermal Focus- primary; toggle; you're more resistant to Fire damage, your Fire damage is increased and the threshold for activating a Thermal cell is decreased; +Res(Disorient)
Radiant Focus - primary; toggle; you're more resistant to Energy damage, your Energy damage is increased and the threshold for activating a Radiant cell is decreased; +Res(End Drain)
Psionic Focus - primary; toggle; you're more resistant to Psionic damage, your Psionic damage is increased and the threshold for activating a Psionic cell is decreased; +Res(Confuse, Sleep)
Lethal, Dark, Cold, and Toxic: these are a Power Absorber's weakness but he has ways to counter them.
Avoid Threats - primary; toggle; you're experienced enough to know what your weaknesses are and move to avoid them; +Def(lethal, cold, negative energy); +Res(Toxic)
Lethal Adaption - primary; auto; with concentration you can absorb the kinetic energy from Lethal attacks but with less effectiveness than from Smashing; Resist(Def Debuff)
Negative Energy and Cold will have there own cell pane below the Absorption Cells Pane. They will be only 1 cell each and be known as vacuum energies of Negative and Cryonic.
Vacuum Power - primary; single target; ranged; Power Absorbers don't work well when drained and so seek their energies back violently from their foes; An active Negative Cell will convert to an active Radiant Cell; An active Cryonic Cell will convert to an active Thermal Cell; causes Negative Energy or Cold damage to the foe in the transfer process; +Res(Slow, Fear)
Modes: Like Keldians, Power Absorbers will have different AT roles they can toggle into; tanks, blasters, maybe even defenders.
Tank Mode - primary; toggle; Your damage resistance is increased but your damage output is decreased, You can use up to 3 Focus toggles; comprehensive status resist power
Blaster Mode - secondary; toggle; your damage output is increased but your damage resistance is decreased, you can only use 1 Focus toggle but gain a 4th row of Absorption Cells; opens up ranged attacks
Taunts: Essential in determining which foes you want to attack you so you can absorb their energies.
In tank mode you'll have an aoe taunt.
In scrapper and blaster modes you'll have single target taunts.
Larger attacks will open up in the secondary as you level. Moderate damage attacks will use up 2 cells of an energy category, while high damage attacks use 3, and extreme damage attacks in blaster mode will use 4.
Survival or defeat: you may look at this at a glance and think you can just take all damage and deal it back without fear of defeat but that's not the case. It will take a lot of management to suceed, much like with a Mastermind. The key is not to allow your Absorption Cells to remain maxed out. Once that happens you can no longer absorb and thus take full damage of that particular type. So expend or die (a little like Strong Guy). Also use Vacuum Power whenever your Vacuum Energies light up. Your survival also depends on which Focus toggles you choose to run for which enemies. And taunting the right enemies to attack you.

(FYI, don't hate on me for all this, I'm just giving an unresearched opinion)
Love your ideas, dude, amazingly thought out. Mine isn't as thought out, mind you.. But I still think it would be badass!
I'd love to see a Ranged DMG/Melee DEF archetype, now, I know, people whine and say "Whaaa overpowered" but to be honest.. Nah. not really, if you dumbed it down some and made it Corrupter level damage for the ranged (without scourge and bebuffs this isn't much to ask, really) and the melee would be fine with just below if not the same as a scrapper's defenses. Concept-wise I think it would be sweet, I'd get to roll my Dual Pistols/Regen (Thought of before I even knew about Deadpool 
) for my main..
I think out of all of your ideas I really like the Crusader as a archetype, very good idea haha.
As for my idea.. I think it would work, people have it in their heads that a ranged DMG/Melee DEF archetype would be bad but given that this is CoX and we have VEATS/HEATS.. Most people want to feel heroic without having to substitute their concepts and ideas with something else but not be too overpowered and this wouldn't be overpowered. I find, personally anyway, that the big thing about being a ranged character and doing damage is the fact that blasters have a bunch of attacks and a stacking DMG buff when they do attack.. Not to mention corrupters with their double damage at 35% I believe it was + they debuff..
Creating a ranged character with melee defensive sets would counter balance by putting out okay damage and being able to take some damage as well, maybe even change some of the sets to create more of a Ranged defense heavy kind of thing.. A Ranged-Tank idea, ranged tanks are all the rage now (Personal experience in DCUO and SWTOR heh) A ranged tank used to scare people but if you balance it out.. It can be a hell of a decently rounded archetype. I'd play a ranged-tank for sure lol (FYI, don't hate on me for all this, I'm just giving an unresearched opinion)
Hmm... I like this idea... What shall we call it? Enforcer? Gunner? Either way, I'm makin' an icon for it.
EDIT: Here it is:
(Old version)
(Current version)
And here's the url if you want to add it to your post:

Ah sweet haha, I think maybe Enforcer sounds right to me, but we could roll ideas around, too. If you created a king of setup like your other ideas that would be really awesome, maybe we could even go into a more dps route and less of a tanky way, you know? Could call it "Enforcer" for a Ranged-Tank, or "Slayer" for dps, or what about "Tyrant" |

have to roll that one around for a while lmao. How about inherit powers, could do something along the lines of dominator if we go tank where, instead of increasing damage/control power, it pops up and you click it to increase health/defense and/or resistance. What do you think?EDIT: Also, what if you made the ICON black background with a yellow symbol? Or black with a white symbol, I'm just seeing iti n my head as a black kind of background lol
@Dekoy: wrote up info in Post 1, and it uses a new icon. tell me if it needs any reworking.

Man I really wish it was a damn class, though... I'd play the hell out of it. Same with the crusader
I like the Ranged/Armored suggestion.

-- The Fox and the Hound
Thought of an Inherent.. Or some (Just off the top of my head)
1.) Awareness: When taking damage, the Enforcer has a 10% chance to gain a 35% increase to their defenses, resistances and health regeneration for 15 seconds.
2.) Restless: When doing damage with their powers, the Enforcer's abilities have a stacking recharge bonus, different bonus recharge depending on the ability used.
3.) Nimble: The Enforcer has a 10% chance to completely dodge an incoming attack.
4.) Relentless: The Enforcer can focus his sights on an enemy and increase his damage against them by 100% for 15 seconds, recharge time of 300 sec, in addition your attacks have a 10% chance to restore 15 endurance when used.
5.) Battle Ready: When struck in combat, the Enforcer has a 10% chance to regenerate 10% health over 10 seconds
Any sticking for you guys?
Hiiiiiii
I posted on a thread a long time ago some AT ideas i thought up, to be released with an issue with a theme relating to WWII, and a couple zones through ouro/midnighters club, and these AT's, VIP or market purchase only, would start out in the new time warped WWII zone with special arc introducing the battle and the AT as either a new recruit or seasoned veteran, without tutorial option or hero/villain alignment. Some of these AT's are basically what you've suggested, but im just organizing my thoughts since i cant find my old post XD
*Field Commander* - You are a natural born leader. With a team of your own to back you up and obey your every command, you encourage and guide others using your talents to ensure your allies survive.
-primary is self/team buffs, debuffs [organized similar to SoA secondarys]
-secondary is MMpets [but instead of upgrades incorporate 2 meelee attacks]
-inherent: larger teams grant increased buff bonuses
-medium HP, mod dmg
*Field Medic* - You must stand your ground in the midst of battle, as you strive to ensure the safty, and survival, of your allies.
-primary is assault sets
-secondary is team buffs/self buffs
-inherent: foe placate after X trigger
-low hp, medium dmg
*Kamikazi* - You are willing to give every fiber of your being to ensure the destruction of your enemies. Your power is unmatchable, because you know the fuse is short and you have to make the most with the time you do have.
-primary is ranged [with Nuke]
-secondary is meelee [with AoE dmg self rez]
-inherent is a bar like domination or fury, that when full after increased dmg output, allows for activation of a "Destruction" power initiating a brief untouchable period of ten-ish seconds with +Dmg, ending in a self destruct. if you die from kamikazi, you have no debt. regular deaths still give debt
-low HP, high dmg
*Espionage* - You are a master of spying, and only the greatest missions are given to you, behind enemy lines, finding and relaying vital information to your allies,
-primary is similar to stalker secondary but instead of hide you unlock a power called "disguise" that is the same for all powersets allowing you to appear identical to a targeted foe granting "invisibility" and foe placate
-secondary is control with a power replacing group hold with an Espionage power severely reducing the defense of target and, to a lesser degree, surrounding enemies.
-inherent is a chance for critical dmg the higher tier the enemy while disguised, reduced endurance when not disguised
-low HP, moderate dmg
*Trooper* - You are the backbone of every army. You fight and win, or lose, every war. Will you be a casualty... or come home a hero?
-primary is assault [including two new weapon sets Armory [steel[mace axe or sword]+archery] and Arsenal[gun+gadget]]
-secondary is self buffs [scrapper strength]
-inherent is 'Victorious' granting increased regen + recovery when taunting enemies
-medium hp, medium dmg
kay i think that's what i'd planned out before. at least it's close to it XD. i understand that some of these might not work very well, but i'd still love to try them. numbers would obviously need to be balanced, and making inherents to make the AT's different was hard and im not sure of the ones i made up, but these are the AT's i'd propose to add .
Davey's suggestions cleaned up and added, given icons. Speak if there's anything you want me to change.

Kirsten: FYI, anything that has pets is VIP only and/or follows the same Rules as MM and controllers do currently. Refering to many of your concept ideas. They either have MM or Controller based powers.
I like many of them.
I've had an idea.
Devourer
Kheldian's get their power from team mates. You get your power from your enemies. Works a bit like a cross between a tanker aura and a kheldian buff. The more enemies around you, and according to their powers, you receive a buff. For example, if you have 2 people with empathy type heal powers and 4 with big dps abilities like a blaster you get a moderate regen bonus and a high damage bonus.
-Primary: Damage with some control effects, think corrupter powers
-Secondary: A single set with kinetics type debuffs that give the team AoE buffs.
Destroyer.
More blaster than scrapper. Nothing can stand up to a destroyer. The primary set is blaster primaries, but converted into melee attacks (basically shortened range). The secondry is scrapper defensive powers. Main focus on big AoE damage. The inherent gives a smallish vengeance type buff for each enemy defeated.
I dunno why I posted this. I guess just to get them off my chest.

okay...When you say devourer, is this a DE EAT, or is it just odd naming?

When I saw devourer, I was thinking the buff would be based on enemies defeated, as if you ate them or at least obsorbed the remaining essence somehow, for a short time.
I was also picturing it being a moderate resistance with moderate regen and a moderate def to melee. each enemy "devoured" would buff the regen and recharge buff on the character. Kinda like a vampire.
Alright...Trilby's ideas added. Give me a shout if you feel things need adjusting.

I just though that with all the ATs that people may be wanting to suggest, I would make a thread for everyone to use. I have two that I want to start with, and you should feel free to post yours. They don't have to be detailed, all we need is the general idea, the name, and the types of pri/sec sets they'd get (Pets, Melee, Ranged, etc.). Post away.

Crusader: Basically, a midpoint between Scrapper and Defender, this AT is meant to be able to support his friends and still hold his own in a fight. They can use their basic defensive abilities and their buffs(Most of which would be PBAoE) to tank, but it'll take a bit more management and Enhancements.
As a Crusader, you lead your allies into combat. You can not
only deal damage up close, as you deal and receive more damage,
you become more and more effective at bolstering your allies.

ATO: Wrath of the Crusader: Damage (Special Proc: Chances for KD)
The Commander is sort of like a more "heroic" Mastermind. They can deal a good amount of DPS in melee, and have passable durability, but still may need to make use of bodyguarding at lower levels. Later on, they could certainly tank, but their tanking would best be described as "Phalanx Tanking". That is, they are strongest with all their critters to back them up.
Commanders are born to fight, but also to lead. Whether it's
the noble, savage Barbarian, or the wicked, brutish Warlord,
The Commander isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and is often
accompanied by one or more aides, be they healers, warriors, or
technicians.
*Would, if I got my way, use a new mechanic: Guard $target.
Would use Bodyguarding, except the pets guard the target,
instead of the owner.*

The Battlemaster is designed to sort of an upside-down Blaster, with some added durability. They really can't compare with the other Melee ATs as far as durability up front, but in the fight, they can get tougher and tougher until they can tank with the Brutes and Scrappers.
As a battle master, you are skilled at ranged and close-quarters fights. You gain access to a wide array of abilities to crush your foes, but you aren't as tough as some of the other Archetypes up front, but the more damage you deal, the tougher you get.

ATO: Warcry of the Battlemaster: Damage (Chance for ally +DMG, +ToHit)
This class was one I came up with while I was playing a certain other game, which shall remain unnamed. The Enervator: This AT is designed to be a "Smart Tank". This means that it can be an effective tank, but it takes a good bit more management. This AT is Restriction/Melee. "Restriction" is a combination of Control and Def/Res, meant to give passable durability and decent control.
As an Enervator, you stand in the thick of battle, rendering foes helpless and crushing them up close. You aren't as durable as other melee fighters, but you can make up for it with your ability to disable foes.
Inherent:
Exploitation: As you disable your foes more and more, you become better able to bring your full might to bear on them. As you use your disabling powers on enemies, your powers charge faster. (This would be sort of like Fury, except it fills when you fire a control power, and instead of extra damage, your powers charge faster.)

As an Invoker you conjure the essence of other entities into yourself and temporarily gain their characteristics, powers and abilities. You can call upon the ferocity of a beast or the brilliance of a Celestial to temporarily imbue yourself with their inherent powers. Be careful however because your low HP and abilities when not invoked are minimal and your current invocation only lasts for so long.

Survivability: 7

Ranged Damage: 4-6

Inherent: Synergy: Fury-like bar that fills with damage dealt and empties with damage received. The fuller the bar, the less expensive powers are to use, and the less likely invocations are to detoggle.
*Primary: Invocation (Invoke toggles have a chance to detoggle every 15 Seconds, [60 seconds w/ a full Synergy bar], and only one may be active at once.)
1: Invoke(1) <Technically gives 2 or 3 subpowers, depending on the variety of MM pets gained from the L1 power, and a few unlocked Attack Powers only usable in-form.>
2: Innate Attack(1)
6: Self Upgrade(1) <Low-cost Toggle, changes the overlaid model of the invocation and adds an extra invoked power or two.)
8: Innate Attack(2)
12:Invoke(2) <See Invoke(1)>
18:Wildcard
26:Invoke(3) <See Invoke(1)>
32:Self Upgrade(2) <Auto Power, Adds another attack for each form>
+When you become invoked a translucent model of whatever you have invoked is transposed over your toon along with the accompanying VFX, but you may also choose to have no overlay.
ATO: Form of the Invoker: Damage (Chance to increase Synergy)
--------------------------------
The Tactician is supposed to be the next logical step after the Mastermind and the Controller. You step up from being a passive leader to an active weakener of enemies. You can weaken and disable your foes, thus your pets become more effective, at the cost of being able to buff allies.
You are the Tactician. You are master of manipulating both friend and foe to get your way, from calling hordes of followers to swamping your enemies.

ATO: Command of the Tactician: Pet Damage/Recharge (Pets gain small chance for increased crits vs. controlled foes)
The Commandant is an attempt to take the Mastermind and make it more effective at dishing out damage, at the cost of support ability.
A good officer can direct his troops and stay out of the line of fire. That doesn't mean he can't lay down some damage of his own. A Commandant exemplifies a strong offensive leader, able to command a tactical squadron, and take on enemies with his own power.

ATO: Commandant's Charisma: Damage (Chance for Fear)
This AT was meant as a way for melee fighters to be able to do some meaningful Mezzing, and not be totally squishy, without them being overpowered. In order to allow them some real control, with their defense reamining intact, their melee damage is way dropped. That isn't to say they're pushovers.
You know those guys who come in, swords-a-swingin' and fists-a-flyin? Knuckleheads. You're a Disabler. You're smarter than that. Sure, ya may not hit as hard, but ya can hit where it really hurts: When you fight, they can't stop ya, 'cuz y'already stopped them!

ATO: Disabler's Defense: Heal/Buff/Debuff/Def/Res (Chance for +.1 mag Mez)
This AT is a super-hybrid with elements from Masterminds, Tankers, and Defenders. The big gimmick for this AT is the Partner, a singular MM-style henchman that is selected independent of the primary powerset of the Leader (the main character).

"The Marauder AT is a combination design. Ranged/Melee for a primary with Defense/Control for their secondary. The method used for this design is a whole new secondary powerset build and the Primary being Dominator "Domination" sets. The AT will use both passive and active defenses in combat to survive, while pelting enemies at range or thrashing them in melee."
