Psychic Melee

An iTrial in space?

So, from the list of options from way way back, what else are we still missing?

Forcefield armor?

Were Radiation melee and armor on the list?

I whole-heartedly belive that we'll see some sort of Penny Yin powerset coming to players within the near future. Before we got shields we had the Cimerorans as a test-bed for them in game, so it's not unheard of to try future sets out on NPCs. I think if we get Penny's powerset it'll be a dominator set (I'm thinking Mental Assault as opposed to Psionic Assault) with a mix of melee and ranged as she shows. I'm also anticipating an alternate Psionic Control for those who don't like Mind Control. Penny shows some unique control moves (Like the awesome purple psionic lightning cages) as well as a psionic pet. I'm all for a psionic damage control set that comes more in line with the others as far as having some more hard controls and a pet. Essentially I'm anticipating a new primary for trollers and doms, and a new secondary for doms.

I'd really hope that we might get a new melee set out of the deal as well if they go that far, just make a few more melee attacks to flesh out the set (a few ranged left in wouldn't hurt as kinetic melee and claws indicate) so they'd only need maybe one or two extra powers to make it solid. Then we'd get a new set for trollers, doms, scrappers, tanks, stalkers, and brutes out of the deal. Even more extra credit if they cherry pick a bit from the control set and a bit from the assault set and give us a new secondary for blasters. It just seems like making that new control set and assault set could very easily give all those ATs a new powerset without doing too much work. Either way, if we do indeed get a control/assault combo that allows us to make Penny style characters, it will become my main, hands down. Those attacks/controls/pets are WICKED.

And wall of text aside, I'd also love a water control power set, even if it doesn't look like the ultra mode water which the devs have cited as the reason for it not existing. Fountains in game don't look like ultra mode water, so even if we get something with similar effects to Dark Control with more splashy/swooshy effects I think we'd all be pretty satisfied. That plus blue tinted poison would make a rather cool-looking water control combo.

Er um hello....thread starter over here.....

Actually, with the new absorb mechanic, I'm almost certain there's a new defense set in the works.

Man can yo imagine if all these new powersets come out as the .5 release....
