Based a few of your recent posts, you seem to be in search of another game other than the one we are all playing. Good luck with that endeavor.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Lol no, I just love coming up with new things to add to something I am really into, it's just for fun anyway, I dont expect any of this to ever be like made or really used.

What do you think. More of a primary but could be a secondary set. |
this is a neat idea
sort of like "Illusion Assault". would pair great with illusion control if it ever gets tweaked and ported to doms. otherwise, tweaked to be a blast set or defense set...what kind of set is it? XD for what AT? haha still it is really a neat idea to pair against Illusion control.
Yea, I can't pin what AT this is for...plus sneaking around seems like what a Stalker does. And my other complaint is it gives way to much credit to the game A.I.

I kinda share this take on the set.
I find the concept interesting, but can't see application. I thought it was a defensive set till you said it wasn't .
Specify some things for us with set ideas.
Arch Type
Whether it's attack or defensive.
A good hint would be to look at other sets that have been recommended to get an idea of lay out. and information that would be needed. And look at the existing sets. They need to follow those molds a little too.
I tried to make it cover good range of offensively disguised attacks and some self improvement defense.
I think for certain ATs it could be a primary, prob Stalker, maybe Scrappers but for others it could be a secondary, more of the controlling, less,straight up fighting types I guess MM, Dominators, Controllers.
I don't see Brutes or Tanks using this as it is more of finesse thing. Corrupters could use as either pri or sec.
Your thoughts?
Based on the idea of motion camo you could come up with several powers both offensive and defensive.
Thanks for the interest.
The issue is you have camo, which hides the person. You need a power to hide them in the first place. Next you have a mixture of Range and Melee attacks. And ranged melee that charges in for a punch for a Blaster would be suicide. Not to mention once seen, you can hide right away and not be touched. They'll know your there. And a Mastermind or controller can't use these either since they don't have anything in their AT for this.
So how is it as a Stalker power pri or sec? I know this is a cool power set no matter what.
It def works as a primary for something like a Stalker who already has stealthy powers. I could work for something like a scrapper if they have maybe ninja run or other stealth powers from a set.
I could see this reworked as an Illusion Assault for Doms...

Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
I like it, but motion camouflage is meant to disguise exactly what it says- motion, I don't think it should stray too far from that with this illusion stuff. It's more of a predator technique to confuse prey. Disguised advance, disguised projectiles that appear not to be moving but are. The illusion stuff makes it seem too magic or psionic when it's a technique used by cunning predators and is done with skill not encamtations. I see is a more of an assassination and escape technique. But your additions and versions are awesome.
You mean something like a Mesmer? from the upcoming GW2 MMO from NCsoft?

illusion melee
each attack gains MoP Marks of Pain. illutionary DoT damage for 5 secs.
Once you have 4 marks on a target, they can be Suppressed[inherent].
inherent Suppress: recharge 60 sec unchangable. After 4 marks of pain, this power makes all current illutionary damage a reality. (Doesn't heal back) and confuses all targets with 4 marks.
1) Name: [ST] Minor damage adds MoP
2) Name: [ST] Minor damage minor illution damage adds MoP
3) Name: [cone] minor damage adds MoP
4) Name: (damage buff)Makes MoP last for the duration of this buff (30sec)
5) Name: [ST] moderate damage moderate illution damage, adds MoP
6) Psych: [ST] -tohit -damage adds MoP
7) Name: taunt
8) Stress test: [PBAoE] moderate damage adds MoP
9) Name: [ST] high damage extreme illution damage adds MoP
