I don't get the Ninjitsu for Scrappers crowd. The thematic powers just don't work, and at least 2 would need to be changed.

Something for ppl to use Well it's just the reverse of converting a normal armor set over to stalkers, something has to be taken out for hide and he mentioned changing caltrops.

For whatever it's worth though, I'd be fine with having 2 versions of caltrops. Probably because I just like caltrops though.

How about munitions for masterminds? That'd be nice.

Here's my take on it. Ninjitsu is to Super Reflexes as Dark Armor is to Electric Armor. Ninjitsu and Dark Armor are both sets that have less passive survival (defense and resistance) than other Armor sets but make up for it with a certain amount of control. It's not a perfect analogy but that's how I'd play it.|

Given that there are three powers that should probably be changed: Hide, Caltrops and Smoke Flash.
- Hide is pretty simple, replace it with a more generic stealth power, basically a clone of Energy Cloak.
- Smoke Flash has the problem that Placate is a lot less useful to Scrappers than it is to Stalkers (and lets face it Smoke Flash isn't that great anyway). To that end I'd probably replace it with a Stun Grenade style power (possibly still PBAoE to keep with the theme).
- Finally Caltrops. This would actually be fine except that the devs have a rule against duplicating powers for a single character. Now for a replacement I'd give it a PBAoE Terrorize power. Maybe I'm seen Batman Begins to much but I like the idea of a Ninja that is capable of instilling great fear in his enemies before beating them up.
Now obviously this would need to be combined with a bit of power reordering as well.
The nice thing here is that doing it this way would open the way for a Brute/Tanker Proliferation as well, you'd just need to add a Taunt aura to Ninja Reflexes or Danger Sense.

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.)

well cool.
i would much prefer the proliferation of one or two or maaybe three sets per issue instead of a bunch every three issues. that's like twice every two/three years. :/
>Kinetics to Masterminds
>Ninjitsu to Scrappers
Oh HELL yes.

As it is, I was only around for the first chunk of the coffeetalk. The rest I just watched the recorded vid where the chat component isn't even visible.
One bit of news is that there will not be another Player Summit during 2012, so the next window of opportunity will be in 2013 ... and will probably be around Anniversary Time again (speculation) at the end of April if Zwillinger sets up another one of these.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Don't forget, Synapse, Masterminds need Cold Domination too!
I wonder what sort of power changes would "blow our minds" in I25 if they have time to put them in?

Pretty sure it's a combination of numbers/min-max + "but I don't wanna play a Stalker". Kinda annoying they expect it to go that way yet Stalkers won't get things like Shield but nothing can be done about that.

The only drastic change a Ninjitsu for scrappers would need, IMO, is Caltrops due to Epic redundancy.|

The Placate and -Perception debuffs can work for scrappers, and Hide can use a similar mechanic to what is seen in AE: a damage buff that suppresses on attack, doing only the first attack from hide do bonus damage.
I think that one caltrops power can safely be swapped with a passive regen power.
