While I'm not sure if the marketing team or whoever in charge of the powerset releases will change their practices, I know I'd much rather see two powersets released at the same time, and have a week of nothing new (maybe just sales instead) than wait.

And while I havent cared for the wait, won't let that stop me from finally being able to play it

This is the most important reason of all!

I don't need any of my names getting ruined because of servers combining. It's bad enough there's names taken by accounts not being played anymore. What if an unplanyed account gets my name?

Also, if the server is to small for you, switch to a higher population server. Either through character xfer, or making a new character.

No. She's not a Jack character, she'll get rezzed in time.

Unlike other posters, I will be buying it next Tuesday! YAY!

Now go improve Dual Pistols for me!

If your going to use incarnate abiltiies in your discussion, you should only be using incarnate content.

It was already stated when Incarnate powers were released, they'd trivialize regular content.

The who was stated in another thread, and isnt really a return of a character. It's the changing of a current one to a new status of living.

All the sets are said slottable at lvl 47 except for the Corr one which said 10. I take it the level 47 ones are when they're catalyzed?

Some thoughts on your thoughts

Defender: Agree

Blaster: Agreed! Its something. And if it stays Mag 1 whether catalyzed or not, in an IO build that MIGHT be enough if one builds for defense.

Brute: Disagree. It's desciption makes it sound like any other -Resist proc, that a tanker can already slot. What this does is allow the Brute to slot it in any attack, and not just a -Def or PBAOE attack. So I wouldnt call it superior Bruising, as it doesnt give all attacks -Resist. Will be nice for those builds that already have 2 -Resist Procs slotted though. Like Dual Blade Brutes

Controller: Sounds interresting. I hope the pet has a good animation to it.

Corruptor: People are always trying to keep their blue bar filled, and this will help.

Dominator: See Controller

Kheldian: If it turns an attack into a decent self heal, it won't be bad. Though it would be limited to one build.

Mastermind: If I continued to play MMs, this would be a must have in my book.

Scrapper: More chance to crit is nice, dont know how it works though. Even if its just +50% to Crit on one attack, that doesnt sound to bad. Depending on how it procs, put it in the highest DPA attack seems like a good idea to me.

Stalker: This just seems good for all Stalkers, but Im starting to wonder if I was wrong on it being more awesome for KM users to double stack BU. While the AOE Defense I'm not sure of, the other bonuses aren't that bad, which means for KM, I'm thinking slot it in CS. AS misses, CS still has a chance to recharge BU as long as it doesn't miss. Or double proc AS, BU - AS - BU - CS - BU - normal chain!

SOA: Gives all attacks a chance to Proc for damage. I just don't see that as bad. The set bonuses might not be needed, but that means you can just slot the proc OR break the set down into pieces as either high level +Enhancement or break it down for just some of the early set bonuses (+2.5% DMG x3!)

Tanker: I think tankers will love this proc, especially when combined with the +Resist Proc. In fact, seeing this Proc with the +Resist Proc, I want to make a new FA Tanker.

I'll have to disagree with that statement. The rage that was against dropping Brute resist cap to 85% in GR beta makes me think it would change gameplay, cause that was a lot of the complaints said in GR beta when it was suggested the first time.

"OH NO! I won't be as survivalable and die all the time now!"

No, I don't think the balance is +4/8 missions. I was using that as the reference because another poster stated many times that since Brutes/Scrappers can run 4/8 solo, that means they're as tough as Tankers.

To which I disagree, because those Brutes/Scrappers running +4/8 content, tend to be running content that they're suited to run at high difficuluty, and not all content.

Take that S/L Softcapped Electric Brute, run +4/8 missions filled with Rularuu. Are you staying alive just as well playing the same way as you are against +4/8 Council?

What about +4/8 /SR Brute against Rularuu?

But if I was to go by personal experience, then...My SS/FA Brute still needed to use heals when softcapped to Fire Damage (and S/L) on 4/8 Fire Farms.

Now that was running them at 4/8 and in my experience, so yes, I think lowering the max resistance would have a effect.

Would this be a factor in all content? Especially with a buff/debuff backing you up? Nope. Will it have an effect though? Yuppers.

It makes it so, on a full team, a Tanker can still be buffed higher than a Brute on more than just higher hit points.

It gives a more deffinant view of the tanker having a higher peak survival.

Can Brutes still tank 4/8? Yup. Though, the thing that always seems to be forgotten, is that 4/8 tends to be either 1) easy enemies to begin with 2) enemies that factor into the tank/brutes strength.

For example, I've run 4/8 Arachnos and Rularuu. Neither which was an easy cake walk. And that was with WP a well rounded set that gets really impressive with IOs.

Most people who say "I run 4/8" are running specially tailored enemies or picking some of the known easy ones.

Get that 4/8 Knives of vengeance going!

No, it's because people want to keep the distinction of Who's the toughest to who's the highest damage.

I say start calling out for a reduction in Brute Max Resistance by 5%! To help keep Brutes max potential lower than a Tankers.

We can almost get it now, we jsut lack the arm and leg bands that Psylocke has.

But do the devs want people not invited to the beta (ie free players/premiums) to have access to that content?

Of course whether they do or not, Im sure the information will get out anyways, because there will be people who leak the info whether they're told no or not.

But when I saw these leaks mention on the public forums all I could think of was "Staff Fighting all over again"

But it's also easy enough to get those one softcapped as well as S/L/E.

Didnt Exalted get some players witht he exact same name due to so many logging in at once?

Now that is some serious sexiness going on!

If you went Elec, youd just be frustrated against Rikti

Pick whats fun and go with it! You wont be let down with the new changes. Some enemies will just beable to handle your damage type better than others.

that might get the StJ debate up there even more :P
