So, barring any technical issues or weird unforseeables, I will be removing this limitation.

So, ever dreamed of a PB with Teleport, a WS with fly? PBs with Air Superiority of WSs with Group Teleport? Soon you'll be able to. Hallelujah

I can finally have a hovering WS? Or a PB with Air Superiority to develop a melee attack chain? Nice!

I think Synapse just found some new fans, no?

*Faints*

Issue 24 may well be the best one yet at this rate...

He also posted in the same thread that the changes were done, so it should be coming to a beta near you within the next few patches.

About #$*@#% time. I've made the point regarding "double flight" (i.e. people will learn from the mistake) numerous times. And since it's obviously possible to "lock out" some powers based on other power choices (dual blades vs shield defense, for example), it's not impossible to "lock out" other versions of flight after choosing one. How easy the coding might be is a matter of pointless speculation.


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.

It's funny that I was already thinking about respec'ing my PB with the new T5 Fighting Pool Cross-Cut power but now I'll have to consider working in Air Superiority as well.

Hovershade, what?

Thank goodness. I've been using various forms of jetpack so I can be first over the wall during a BAF (among other things) but the damn things don't stick around forever.

This awesome but if I wanted my WS to flu I would just take Nova...I would run out of powers picks anyway lol. I admit I was not to happy to find out that my WS couldn't at first take the Sorcery Pool but now all is well!

Most of the time I use Nova to fly myself, but if you enter the BAF with Super Speed, Shadow Cloak, and Fly already active, you won't have to waste any time toggling them before running up to that first group and firing off your Eclipse and Mire(s). I know it sounds like I'm splitting a hair real thin here, but if two people with Ion Judgements get there first, you won't be able to do either of those (let alone both).

I play a human Warshade- Sacrificing all my toggles (using Nova form) is not an option when I just prefer a certain travel power. Afterburner +Hover means 2 more spots for LOTG 7.5's, and Hover means more defense. Fly itself takes a BOTZ set. I enjoy the flight pool and I'm glad that I'll be able to use my favorite travel pool on my main.

I understand fully actually. I stopped playing my WS a while ago due to issues with transforming and the lot. There are certain things that irked me but I think now would be a good time to play him again.

The New versatility with pools will also make for some fun new builds in mids as well!
