Any workaround for Ascendant Armor messing up "claim all" rewards?

I would like to know this too. I've tried things like organizing the items by name, but it still goes off some arbitrary claiming list, so I get to spend a lot of time clicking and clicking and clicking. 
theres an option in the options menu that says something like "hide unclaimable rewards" if you check that it wont display stuff that your toon is not eligible for
I claim my account rewards manually. There's a lot of crap in there, like the prestige sprints and noncombat pets, that I'd rather not have cluttering up my screen because I'm never ever ever going to use them.

I claim mine manually as well. Stuff like the varying veteran powers (mu/axe/blackwand/nemesis staff) and i want to make sure I'm picking the appropriate ones.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Also don't the vetspecs not stack? Wouldn't the claim all button just eat them all then?

This is true. But as ClawsandEffect and Hyperstrike implied there just seems to be better reasons to take the few extra seconds to claim things manually rather than to deal with the problems of the "claim all" option. It's not like I create new characters often enough that I need to save that much time doing it. *shrugs*

i dont claim stuff manually because im A) lazy and B) dont care about the stuff being in my powers window, i rarely look there anyway unless i need to grab a temp power (and i always claimed everything anyway under the old system, the new one just makes it easier lol)

I always use the "Claim All" and it works just fine. There's no way I'll go through and individually claim some 70 or so items even if I really only use the Vet Reward powers on most toons.|

Menu -> Options -> General tab -> EMail -> Hide Unclaimable Account Items/Enabled
Remember to save the Options settings for your next new toon (or to load for an alt that hasn't been updated in a while).

under the General tab (default tab)
Email Section of options (scroll down a bit to see)
the option is called "Hide Unclaimable Account Items". Change to "Enabled"

Unless you are level 50, you have to claim everything individually and manually.

Well as long as the "claim all" option will allow you shoot yourself in the foot with things like picking the wrong Vet attack power in the wrong order (to mess up the Origin bonus you get) I'll gladly waste an extra 30 seconds to pick everything manually to be sure of my selections.|

Sure if I made 10 new characters a day I might want to care about a "claim all" option. But since I don't I'll probably never use that button. YMMV of course.

Popup 1 : Axe or Mu
Popup 2 : Nem Staff or Blackwand
Popup 3 : One of the ones you didn't pick yet.

Or you fiddle with your settings. I rather saw "claim manually, "be 50," and/or "hide unclaimable account items" as three separately viable options.

Actually that might have been fixed because of the complaints about it. There was a time when choosing "claim all" would work the items backwards off the queue so that the order of when the popups would come up would be reverse of what you listed. It made it very easy to screw up your "Origin-bonus" choice. *shrugs*|

But even if that's no longer a problem I simply don't trust the "claim all" button enough not to have full control over what it's doing. Like I said I don't make near enough characters for this to really be of any serious benefit to me. Unfortunately I'm just not -that- lazy.

Seem to recall it being melee, Weapons 2, and Ranged, but the Weapons 2 does list clearly that they DON"T get a origin bonus.

I disagree. It's way easier now than it used to be. *roll new character, wait for all reward to pop...leave the room, make a sandwich, take a nap, paint...*
The hard part is having the patience to tweak all your display settings, macros, binds, etc. when you want to play someone new.
