Nice Writeup on the Summit- and a Update on Radiation Armor
Very encouraging!
Rad Armor sounds very similar to Bio Armor...
Resist/Regen/Absorb with debuff based auras.
The question then becomes: What makes them distinct enough from each other to warrant both of them?

Aand rad is getting a melee nuke that doubles as a self rez.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Not to derail the thread, but did someone forget to mention that interesting-looking Post-Apocalyptic costume set?

Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!
The "Who moved my cheese" factor?
Can't say I've heard that one before.
Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.
I hope that the final version of Radiation Armor has power names that make a little more sense instead of any radiation-related vocabulary they could quickly think of at the pummit.
Other than that, looks interesting.
61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)
Ummm, TheDeepBlue.... It's a radiation-based powerset, so it stands to reason that they would use radiation-themed/related names for the powers.

Or did you think names like 'Hot feet' and 'zapp' took a lot of deliberation?
Radiation Therapy sounds alot like a better version of Dark Regen. I always thought that should have a -Regen component instead of a tiny amount of Negative Energy damage...
For the record, I think that Radiation Blast should've been able to deal Energy/Toxic DoT damage. (I don't know if they could change that now.)
Also, seriously. Look at some of that concept art from the Post-Apocalyptic set: I like that headband on the second guy on the bottom row, the skull chest belt on the first guy on the bottom row, and of course, the bionic bits.

I have the sudden urge to play vahzilok scientist with a chainsaw....by the way did anyone notice the "peculiar" way asymetrical is spelled?
Not anytime soon, I can tell ya that. If I had to guess, it'd be December-February. We still have Water Blast, Psi Melee, Bio Armor, Nature Affinity, and the new Primalist AT that'll eat up Summer and Fall for monthly releases.

You are fairly optimistic. Considering we don't have even the Sorcery pool power or a new powerset with i23 and we know more leaked powersets then the official player summit reveals. I highly doubt, we see radiation armor within a year or monthly powerset releases.

Sorry I didn't do tons of research before making an estimate based on memory. I'll make sure not to repeat that mistake in the future.
