Scrappers: (50) BS/SD,(50) Spines/INV, Controllers: (50) Fire/Kin (50) Fire/Storm, Tankers: (50) Stone/SS (50) Stone/DB (50)Stone/Elec (50) Ice/Stone (50) Fire/KM (50) Elec/SS +3, Blaster: (50) Ar/Devices, Brutes: (50) Claws/WP +2 (50) Elec/SD +3 (50) Claws/FA +1 (50) SS/WP/MU +3(50) SS/FA/Soul +3, (50) Elec/TW +2, (50) Warshade, (50) Plant/Dark Perma Dom+3
What is the booster kit? The discription is way to vague.
Is it account wide or 1 toon? (if only for 1 toon then it cost too much. Its half a power set)
Is the fly a temp power or a perm power? (cause if perm might be worth it to make a WS now) (if its temp then why? just do dfb pick it up at level 4 or 6. Dont need fly in a sewer)
Is the xp Booster timed? +25% +50% +100%? Is it auto til level X?
(there are so many different XP boosts in the game a little more info is needed.)
This is sort of like buying a can of Soup at the supermarket. But its labeled SOUP with MEAT and VEGGIES.
Also like how it isn't listed with the items at the top.
Given the recent penchant for re-releasing old limited-time items onto the market when they bear even a passing, barely-comprehensible, tangential relationship to a new release or holiday (oh, I get it: Memorial Day, memory, brain, brain-in-a-jar head option!), I'd just like to say I am shocked -- SHOCKED! -- not to see the Fish Monster pieces from the Halloween costume bundle up for sale this week.
Also: Yay, Water Blast. But with a period instead of an exclamation point, because it's yay, but it's not that yay. It's fun and all, but I never understood why there was so much demand for it in the first place. All the water-blasting characters in traditional superhero fiction, I guess? Like, um... well, Hydro-Man, I guess, even if his thing is more being made of water than shooting/throwing/spraying it (and also, who remembers or ever cared about Hydro-Man?)... and also, um... actually, I can't really think of anyone else. But hey, it's a decent set anyway, so whatever.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

"The ultimate kit for leveling a new character! Gain XP faster, fly at level 1, increase damage & survivability, and even rez yourself from defeat. The Boost Kit contains: XP Boosters (x6), Rocket PAck Travel Power (30 days), Self-Revive Power (x5), Offense Amplifier (+Dam, +To Hit, +Rech, 1 Hour) x2, Defense Amplifier (+Def, +Res, 1 Hour) x2, Survival Amplifier (+Max HP, +Recov, +Regen, 1 Hour) x2, and the Warwolf Whistle that summons a hulking Warwolf Boss to fight by your side (5 charges)."
it should add all of those into your character items section (the fly pack is prolly all of your toons, but as it says it is the 30 day temp fly pack), the regular xp booster is only 25% boost
i didnt want to have to say this, but you need to learn 2 read
So....once again we see the lack of "perks" for being a VIP, as we have to buy the new powerset outright?
I mean, weren't we supposed to be getting at least some of these powersets as free if we were VIPs? Last one I remember getting for free was Time Manipulation, and that was um...a while ago.
Not that I'm not buying this powerset, seeing as how I've wanted it since I made my first fire blaster, but still....
Yay water blast!

You don't need to buy it, just trade in some of your free points for it.

I mean yeah it'd be cool if they just *gave* it to me on top of the over VIP perks, but I'm still getting it for "free".

You only pay 395PP for all that stuff, which is about 23% of the total individual value.
The 30 day Rocket Pack is global, but everything else can only be claimed on one character per charge (except the Warwolf Whistle, in which all charges get claimed at once).

(And there are ZERO powers that give you automatic XP boosts until you reach level X, so I don't even know why you asked that.)

Again, "traditional superhero fiction." Of which I see one example on your list, and Aquaman had actual water-based powers for like a week. Historically, his powers have involved being in water, not actually "blasting" it. I think Electro-Superman lasted longer than hydro-handed Aquaman. That's like insisting that a "frog transformation" powerset (which I would totally buy, devs) be added to the game because it happened to Thor once.|

If individual Pokemon count as inspirations for entire powersets, where's my "sing everyone in the area to sleep" powerset? Set, mind you. I want nine powers. Because Jigglypuff.
But like I said, I'm not really complaining. I bought it already, because it's a fun set. I just don't... get why so many people have spent so long insisting so vehemently that their gaming experience somehow wasn't complete without a water-blasting set. I'm happy with it, I already made two characters that use it, I just don't see this as the "about friggin' time you finally gave us this set" situation so many others apparently do, because I don't see it as a previously-missing genre staple.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

As for the one comic book superhero in this list (Airbenders? Really? That's like saying curling is a sport)...Aquaman isn't well-known for being a water blaster. Yes, he *can* technically, and I did read the wiki about his new...magic...water hand from the...Lady of the Lake...?
That being said, it's up to us to make Water Blast not suck...like POWER OF THE ELEMENTS kind of awesome. All I'm sayin'.
