Powers Panel
i'm especially interested in knowing whether they mentioned anything about what's in store for Doms.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Dark Affinity is the support equivalent of Dark Miasma and is for Controllers as a secondary...

Ok, here's what I've got from my notes:
Time Manipulation fun fact- swirl direction changes depending on if you are buffing or debuffing someone. Clockwise=Buff Counterclockwise=DeBuff Titan Weapons- -Available to Scrappers, Tanks, and Brutes (sorry, not for stalkers, then again kind of hard to be sneaky with a giant a$$ hammer) -Essentially allows 1 power to do 2 things (with momentum or without momentum) -Goes off of a momentum system. -No momentum, slow attacks, if you have momentum you have shorter animations and more AoE goodness. -So far Hammer and Sword, potential for Axe as well. Dark Control- Sorry, no tentacles people Move list: Shadowy Binds- DoT/Imob Dark Grasp- Mod Dmg/Hold Living Shadows- Wide Cone/Dot/Imob Posses- Confuse (with glowing eye goodness) Fearsome Stare- Cone/Terror Heart of Darkness- PBAoE/DoT/Disorient Haunt- Summons Shades Dmg/Fear/Taunt (to the shades). Essentially, the shades will go out and attack the mob in question, casting taunt and fear on them while attacking them. If the mob dies, they will move on to another (like gangwar, we can't control where they go) to attack. They ARE killable, and somewhat squishy. Shadow Field- Ranged AoE/Hold Tier 9- TBA It looked really interesting, with all the dreary, inky effects. Staff Melee- Scrapper, Brute, Tank, Stalker Power Staff Mastery- much like Swap Ammo, in where you can pick from three styles Mind = gives boost to recharge Body= Gives boost to Damage Soul= Gives end discount Perfection is built thru attacks, and there are two attacks that will either build or spend it. Eye of the Storm and Sky Splitter. Staff will have a longer range than most melee classes. Addition: Dark Assault for Dominators Two new darkness powers (I believe for controllers in the prestige pool? Was hard to hear) Soul Absorption- Regen+ after defeating enemies (for whole group Fade- Targeted, like a mini MoG for others. Stalker changes have already been mentioned, so won't bring them up again ![]() Video Examples!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmmeswm4Nkw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS5jy55HvC4 for titan weapons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJOc4bkfeIw for staff fighting. Sorry, nothing to find on Darkness! And as they stated in the panel, ALL OF THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DURING BETA |

Staff Fighting, like Dual Pistols, is something I've been looking forward to since Beta. So glad to see these finally seeing the light of day.
Haunt sounds awesome

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...&postcount=116 Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that dark miasma was being ported to controllers, with fearsome stare and petrifying gaze replaced by two new powers so the set wouldn't have to much control in it. I would guess the last powers mentioned by firemoth (soul absorption/fade) are the replacement for FS/PG in the controller version of dark miasma. |
Yeah, it was Dark Miasma where they were putting in those two new powers. Brainfade on my part.

Heart of Darkness- PBAoE/DoT/Disorient |
Dark Control sounds like Mind Control but with immob and pets.
Which sounds great to me. I'm all in even before knowing what the t9 is (a permanent pet of some sort would be nice though).
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

Oooh, thanks for the links/info!
So looking forward to Staff Fighting....was one of the sets I've been waiting for, for a long time

The new Dark stuff sounds nice. But even nicer would be not having Fearsome Stare in any of them. *sigh*
Then again, having them there makes it easy to skip a power...

Freedom Server - Main = Lil Bug & way too many alts to list
Really? I thought it was terrible. Doesn't it have a long animation and low base duration?

-29% To Hit for a defender at ED cap and -23% for a corrupter.
No reason not to take it.
Oh yeah, it also fears everything in a truly massive cone allowing you to break spawns easier.

Haven't seen anyone post any information about this panel...Anyone have a transcript or highlights?
They did mention Dark in the opening Q&A and mentioned other sets being proliferated....what were they?
