Sorcery Power Pool?


Agent White

 

Posted

I find this interresting.

The fact that it must be purchased in the Paragon Market doesn't bother me, as it'll likely be a one shot deal.

However what sort of socery. If it's Magical Blasts in the vein of Rune Blast, I can see people picking it up, if it's a staff based set, I can imagine many who say they want it, skipping it in the end (people hate redraw and they want their builds as maxed as possible...general statement, so no need to go "No I don't" )

And what do these abilities do? My guess so far (not in any order)...

ST Blast
ST Immobilize
Hold
Heal Other
PBAOE Heal

Just my guess on this.

Pondering about what the future holds is half the fun!

If it has any sort of mez protection, like along the lines of what we find in the Psionic APP for Controllers, I think I will squeal in excitement.

But some sort of holds/control seem likely, as they are blatantly missing in the current Power Pools, unless you count fear.

A pipe dream, but I'd like it to include a toggle that gives you a wand or staff, automatically changing the cast animations of powers whilst granting a small buff to accuracy.

(I checked both Magic and Mutant origin characters and both list Sorcery.)

Players have long wished that character origin counted for something other than which DOs and SOs you can buy. Maybe this is how that will be implemented.
I really doubt it will be limited to orgins.

Paragon will want to sell it as much as possible.
The origin auras pack work for any origin - and Paragon was aware enough to damper the outcry that it could be origin based very quickly.

It would be great to have a selection of tech/sorcery etc pools for people to pick. Even one new pool is win though.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

New power pools are much cooler to me then new primary and secondary sets because instead of having to start an alt I now get to re-evaluate builds on my many characters. That's much more exciting to me. Well except for Staff and some kind of Gun Justice two pistol set.

The "Purchasable" thing might just be a way to keep it locked.

Have it be purchasable, but don't have it be in the market. Bam, only the people you want to have it can have access to it

Hmm, I guess I made a decent guess. I have to say I don't consider anything coming from you a guess since you obviously have special person status with the devs.

That is not said as a mean thing, just fact.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I really hope it's the "free for VIP" power of this issue...

But I think we might be getting ahead of ourselves. Do we even know that there will be other pools?
If you have to buy them on the market, there will be other pools. SOP for a business, if they will buy it then make it.

Y'know, with that image, it always seemed more like he was *really* good at hiding whatever he was smoking. The mention of droids is pure diversion.

Not that I doubt that we might be seeing it eventually, as a full powerset for players. Just that it makes sense that we can already find Psionic Melee things here and there because we've seen a character use those abilities.

Depends. Is the sword technologically enhanced to help you hit? Does it have a special edge designed to cut anything? Is it part of an overall armor/weapons system designed to work together?

My "tech masquerading as magic" hero would be very upset as well.

The handle is wrapped in the finest animal hide that you could find in your county, giving you better grip (as compared to nothing), and thus better contol (aim).

The edge was sharpened by the local blacksmith to be... sharper... allowing you to slice objects better.

Your armor includes a belt loop that you can put your sheath through, allowing you to easily draw the sword.


In other words, 'yes' to all. My point, though, was asking what switches a human over from being 'natural' to 'tech'. Using a large stick as a blunt object, at one point in time, was the most brilliant idea any human had ever had... but now no one would think of a person carrying around a stick they found outside as a "tech" hero. In other words, the divide between "tech" and "natural" is "whatever the hell the person wants it to be"!

Don't mind me, I just like arguing about how things fit into origins someone insists they "don't fit" in (not that that's what you did, really, I just had to speak up.)

Yeah, I was going, if anything, for the exact opposite, that it's easy to rationalize basically any origin if you're willing to be even slightly flexible with either your concept, or your definition of the origin.

Hmm... I see they completely removed the Water control and Psi melee post from Golden Girl. I wonder if that came with a spanking for breaking their reveal news for Pummit early?

A marketing style which is frankly annoying more than anything else.
