When a powerset or AT is changed there is a flurry of people trying it out. Having been past that initial flurry what new/changes in the past 6 months or so have had players stick with them?

Titan Weapons - still seem them around. Not a huge amount but more than their share of melee sets. Seem to be popular

Dual Pistols - rarely see them, seems unpopular

Beam Rifle - rarely see them, seems unpopular

Dark Control/Support - see it fairly often, seems popular

Stalkers - still uncommon but see them a lot more than I used to. Probably see them as often as MMs.

Street Justice - I can't recognize it, so I don't know

Gravity - I don't really spot it, so I don't know.

Time - I still see this a bit. Seems reasonably popular but not massively so

Beast Mastery - I haven't seen this in a week. Seems to have just died off

The Stalker changes are the most significant to me.

As for power sets, Street Justice, and Staff caused love to bloom in my heart.

I see a few TW users out there still. I still think it looks and sounds absolutely stupid, but at least some people enjoy it. It does seem effective.

Not too many DP users out there - I like the set, though.

I see more BR characters than AR characters. Good set.

Dark Control/Affinity are popular, definitely.

The Stalker changes were a game change for me. I absolutely love my stalkers now, they are some of the most fun characters I've ever played.

StJ is an amazing powerset with lasting appeal.

I don't see many Grav users.

Time Manipulation still seems OP to me, but it's a solid set. It's not nearly so unbalancing as I had feared initially. Very fun to play.

I see more MMs with Beast Mastery than I've seen MMs in months. I have an intense dislike for any MM set that has noisy pets.


You know what I don't see many of? Sonic Resonance. I pretty much never see that powerset used anywhere by anyone.

I've tried them all. I am a Brute at Heart. Street Justice is almost perfect, but i do not like combo systems, so close but no cigar. You left out Dark Blast, which I sorta like, but i need to rework my concept for that character and find a Blaster strategy (other than my preferred ranged AR/Nrg) that i can live with. There is another Grav Dom in my future, or maybe I will bite the bullet and finally run a troller using Grav's changes as the impetus for that. (Probably happen this year)
