Based on the "design a Powerset" workshop I was at during the Pummit yesterday and the rough powers list that we came up with for the Devs, YES! A resist set that Debuffs and has the Absorb Mechanic? Yes please...


EDIT: I'd also love to see this on Stalkers....

Radiation Armor (according to Chyll)
  1. Reactive: Auto: Self +Res(Smash, Lethal, Toxic)
  2. Emissions: Toggle: Self +Res(Smash, Lethal, Energy); PBAoE: Foe -Resist
  3. Leakage: Toggle: Self +Res(Fire, Cold, Negative, End Drain); PBAoE: Foe -Dmg
  4. Dissipation: Toggle: Self +Res(Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Fear, Immobilize, Knockback)
  5. Mutation (needs another name suggestion): PBAoE: Minor DMG(Toxic), Foe -End, Self +Health
    ??: Auto: Self +Res(-Recharge, -SPD, Toxic, Energy, RES Debuff)
  6. Discharge: Toggle: PBAoE, Foe -Regen, Slow, Taunt
    ??: Toggle: Self +DEF(All but Psionics)
  7. Cascade: PBAoE: Moderate (Energy), Minor DoT(Toxic), Foe Taunt, Knockback; Self: -Recovery, -Health, -Regen
Emissions would have a -resis element, leakage -dmg, discharge a -regen (slightly late for the taunt aura with discharge, but I'm thinking this set would be an aggro hogging set anyway).

The 5th slot needs a new name: but would be a radiation version of dark regen - lower heal component but drawing end from surrounding foes to boost the character's health.

Cascade would set this off further as a departure from the normal armor: essentially a tanker nuke, hitting the foes clumped around with some damage and a taunt spike. Notable endurance cost and some draining downtime after - but no full crash.
I am pretty sure they got the power down already, they came up with Rad Armor already and it's powers at the player Summit, It's just a matter of time before we get this power set for real.

Never play another NcSoft game, If you feel pride for our game, then it as well, I Superratz am Proud of all of you Coh people, Love, Friendship will last for a lifetime.
