New Powerset: Super Power Manipulation
Hmm...well...first and foremost...this should really be in the suggestions section of the forums...but...
1. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say that this is a pbaoe toggle? If so, then depending the amount of the "scaling" buff numbers and range of effect, i'd suspect a rather signifigant end cost for something like this, and it still wouldn't match the potential for the actual FS power, which can easilly be stacked given enough recharge...which really doesn't take much. End result, a power that WANTS to be fulcrum shift, but falls substantially short and winds up vastly inferior.
2. Slightly interesting concept...though not one i've not seen before. (I play pen and paper rpg's and one of the games i play actually has a "negate super powers" super power.) Problem here is I don't really see how this power would provide any particular advantages over a straight hold. Even less so if you narrow it down and limit it to either particular power sets, or primary/secondary powers.
In the former example, if they don't have said powersets...your power is useless. Worst case scenario is you'll only be able to use this power on a set few mobs in the entire game.
In the latter case, if you can null out primary powers...then great...they can't attack you...but they still have their full defenses. To an extent...we can do this now. It's called Confuse. Sure...they still attack...they just don't attack US! If they're the only thing standing...then they just take the beating with a smile. And nulling secondaries really wouldn't accomplish too much. Many mobs may not even have an actual secondary powerset, while some mobs do, and even others may have certain attributes baked into them (res, def, regen, etc.) that are automatic and not tied into ANY powers. And you still run into the issue of they're STILL HITTING YOU! HOLD (or confuse)!
3. Holy crap what a slotting nightmare that would be...unless this power was restricted to maybe acc and recharge only. Just entirely too many variables for this to even concider. Not sure too many people would really enjoy the "luck of the draw" aspect of this just for the simple chance to copy a crappy power. If nothing else...people tend to like something that gives consistancy. Its a neat idea, for sure...but there's just wwwaaaayyyyy too many potential issues with it.
4. ....mud pots...hot feet...chilling embrace...temporal distortion.......need i say more? We already got tons of that.
5. There's that "random" thing again. People don't want random. They wanna know what they're gonna get and what's gonna happen when they click that little icon. Random, in this game, don't work.
I'm not necessarily knocking your ideas, Res...i just don't think that something like this is really feasible, and in some cases, desireable in THIS game. Some of your ideas i've actually seen in other places...particularly #2 and #3...both in the same RPG as a matter of fact.

Someone say something funny.
That'll do, pig. That'll do.
Ideal AT: Controller or maybe Defender
Powers:
1.) A buff that is much like Fulcrum shift except it's pbaoe and it Gives buff bonus for each ally within a certain radius of you. Pbaoe
2.) A Hold that for X amount of seconds disables all opponents powers (Or a Particular set or type primary, secondary, travel, melee, range, buff, debuff, etc.) Targeted Aoe
3.) A blank Value power that when selecting a ally or enemy target and clicked a random power will be picked and you will have 3 uses then it will return to blank value absorb power. Ranged / Special
4.) A Pbaoe Power that Slows enemies in set radius. pbaoe -slow
5.) 1 Incarnate Pet, that has 1 random incarnate power, and 1 random melee attack. pet
These are just a few ideas, perhaps it should be set with defender as there are no real holds, or imobs, but I figured that would be one of the things balancing this power idea. I think it would be cool if the devs could take a serious look at making this a possibility.
Also Everyone that reads this I would like your feedback and ideas to both the good and the bad, also tell me if you like this or not. Thanks @Resurrected Phoenix
