Idea/Prediction for upcoming Incarnate trees....

So I was putting some thought into how much more power can be packed into the Incarnate system without turning us into outright gods, and... I wasn't able to come up with much. However, I did manage to think of this:

A tree that takes a single-target effect and gives it a chance at becoming an AoE effect! The core tree would have a chance to make the effect a flat-out AoE with a higher chance of proccing and increasing the number of targets and radius the higher up the tree you go.... The radial tree would turn the effect into a cone. To compensate for cones' general lack of utility, the cone effect would affect more targets than the circular AoE.

The categories would be ranged damage, melee damage, control, buff, and debuff. (I'm separating ranged and melee damage because I feel it'd be better for balance). So that single-target attack causes splash damage. That single-target heal can heal more allies. A single-target hold can mez most of a group.

I'm thinking the first one would be something like 20% chance for a splash effect to hit up to 3 more targets within 20 feet of the main target. The numbers of course go up from there. I don't know if Very Rare should be 100% chance... probably no more than 75%

Note that this would apply to ST powers only; no fair double-dipping with your AoEs!

That's all I got...

Uh...Sounds like it'd fit best into Interface.

I don't care what the others are, as long as Omega is a Custom Signature Power.

So make my dom perma hold an entire mob rather consistently?

a bit much but like most overpowered ideas yeah give it to me.

One of them better be some single target/AoE mezzes with a large mag attached. That or a tree that increases the mag of current mezzes. My all powerful Dom hates that half of its powers become useless against hard targets.


Already sent this to Hawk a long time ago so hopefully the idea has been planted.

I'm guessing on of the higher slots will be a hugely powerful Single-Target Attack. The Core side being Melee, and Radial Side being ranged for various damage types and effects.

I don't know about you guys, but I want to shoot friendship lasers or perform screaming jump kicks or punch something into nothing so hard that nothing breaks or simply use ALL the rocket fists.

We have our over the top AoE, we need our over the top Single Target.

judging by what Prometheus has been saying, which I won't say due to spoilers, there's a few things that can be seen with the Incarnate trees.

My prediction for Genesis is a single summon, like Lore, but one you can freely customise.

I see Vitae as something more of a toggle, possibly to improve certain stats, unlike Alpha, which is a passive, enhancement boost.

Mind and Omega are something I have no idea about. My original assumption for Omega would be a toggle/passive debuff. You know how in the Keyes Trial, if you stand still too long, you get a gradually building Debuff to your resistance, as well as other things? Well, since that icon had the Omega symbol in it, my assumption is we get something similar to that.

Mind's a mystery to me, must be said.

I say Genesis is a powerful self-buff clicky, Vitae as another attack proc/buff (Feel free to swap those if you like...), Mind is a powerful control, and I haven't a clue on Omega, but I really, really really hope it's Custom Signature Powers
