1. If I knew how to put in that pick of Michael Jackson eating popcorn during a movie in the Thriller video, I would - "real" vs comic physics 
2. Set looks more like Dark Armor and they replaced CoF with another clicky. T9 is similar to EA, that's true. I bet the mez is weak to KB or something. The balance they find b/w regen/rez/new mechanic (absorption, or w/e) should make for fun times.

If recent examples are any measure, there won't be a mez hole regardless of thematic appropriateness. Complaints during beta will plug them (see: Willpower) or they'll just deliberately plug them all to preempt the complaints (see: Shield).|

That's why I find it so funny that there's all this discussion about what holes should or shouldn't be there - people will complain until the holes are plugged regardless, even though the same hasn't happened with the older sets.

This is a reason for me to take a T9 power.
I would sooo use this just for the fun of it.

I was also wondering: Will this be available to all melee ATs? The thought of a Stalker with this is amusing to me.

Not going to have a discussion with you about whether this set should, or should not be made. That was already decided. I'm also not going to attempt to talk with you about what it should, or should not entail. The Dev's will decide what works for it mechanically and thematically. |

To me, Rad isn't interesting probably because what makes Radiation truly formidable is that it's invisible. It's a force not perceived by the eyes and goes mostly unseen...radiation could be destroying you from the inside and you not being able to tell until it's too late. Anything else is just bells and whistles more better spent on something more visually appealing. |
You have shown you have a predisposition against Rad in general, which continues to make you come across antagonistic, if not unreasonable talking about it. Personally, I prefer not talking to brick walls. I'm sorry that you don't find the idea of this set interesting, but there are plenty of other choices out there, and I'm sure the dev's will be creating other power sets that will appeal to you.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

Quit trying to stifle my amusement with reason, Rangle. Meanie.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Hi everyone,
Please try to keep this thread polite and constructive. Needless bickering and fighting adds nothing to the conversation, and only engenders ill-will and unhappiness in this amazing community.
Thank you!

First off...
Now, more nitpicky goodness, just so I can come back with another bag of popcorn later!
ra·di·a·tion/ˌrādēˈāSHən/
Noun:
1. The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles.
2. The energy transmitted in this way.
(not part of definition, but go look it up)
Radiation comes in many forms - alpha (essentially, a Helium-4 nucleus), beta (an electron), gamma (photons), and more (neutrinos, for example). I'm lumping X-rays into gamma radiation because it's all essentially EM waves/photons at different frequencies.
e·lec·tric·i·ty/ilekˈtrisitē/
Noun:
1. A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation...
2. The supply of electric current to a house or other building for heating, lighting, or powering appliances.
Electricity is energy due to charged particles.
Radiation is the emission of them, or the energy transmitted from the emission.
So you see, Radiation is not Electricity. The sets are different.
(also, radiation can directly create electricity - that's how photocells work - and vice versa)
