Patron Power Pool?
The wiki is correct, you can be villain or rogue. I've unlocked them as a rogue before.

Wow really? That's cool...really opens some options for those too lazy to go ALL the way to vil side to open up the pools (like me).
you can run a patron arc as a rogue, you cannot run a patron arc as a vigilante
if you are a hero then you HAVE to go all the way to villain in order to get the patron arc, just going to vigilante wont do it
if you are already a villain then you can still go to rogue and do a patron arc so long as you dont go all the way hero before unlocking the patron powers

Another question...
Could I take an APP now...switch to Villain and open the PPP...then just respec into the PPP?
Yes.

Do you have to be full villain to unlock these or can you be a rogue?
This thread says you have to be a full villain: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...ht=Shadow+Meld
While Paragon wiki says you can be a villain or a rogue: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Patron_Power_Pools
Which is correct?
