  1. Something I always wanted to see in Tough: Make it an auto power. Being tough was never something I thought one would turn on or off.
    That said, I think Tough could be greatly improved as a hybrid auto/toggle. Something that would grant a bonus to S/L even when the power was off. You would gain the different between auto and toggle numbers when toggled on.

    Oh, well, some of us still do things for the content or the teaming. It's not all about the rewards. You know, like doing arcs with someone even though it means only the arc 'owner' will get any merits.
    The Eden trial has had this issue for a long time. It also could use a revisit to its merit reward, and its special enhancement in general(AFAIK, made as the original HO, and out leveled like a joke). Same applies to the Sewer trial's enh.
    Without a proper reward for the task, it's a lot tougher to get a team together for it. Yes, some will do it just to play it, but not all. I'm not talking complete make-over, just some polish to a little dulling.

    It does give some resistance to def debuff and recharge debuff to the user and team.
    It's the reason I take it.

    It also appears that the Def debuff resistance is enhanceable, but I not certain about that.

    I haven't actually timed their attack rate, though, so there's no way to be totally sure.
    The numbers will still show up, but they no longer have any affect.

    The Sewer trial is pretty damn good, too. And it's one of the few situations where you might actually run out of time (if we exclude that mission with the 10 minute timer that you're supposed to fail).
    They could use some polish. Still can't run the Eden trial unless the leader is 39-41.

    AOE King?

    Fire/MM/Fire Blaster:

    Fireball
    Fire Breath
    Rain of Fire
    Psychic Scream
    Drain Psyche(okay, not damage)
    Inferno
    Psychic Shockwave
    Bonfire
    Melt Armor(Yeah kinda lame)
    Rise of the Phoenix

    That's a lot of AoE.

    Supressive Fire changes from a mag 3 stun to a mag 3 HOLD if you are using any of the special ammo. This can actually be pretty useful if you've got other holds at your disposal.
    Even if it's the only hold. You can slot Devastation: Chance for Hold and Lockdown: Chance for +2 Mag Hold in Suppressive Fire. Both have a chance to fire even with Standard ammo.

    Account Security

    When in doubt, change your password. It's a good idea to do so from time to time anyways.

    Tf / sf

    I'd love a revision of the Manticore tf. It's basically beat up Crey, beat up more Crey, and take down some Hopkins guys we've never heard of before.
    Also, it's hard to assemble a full team for one(7 players); while the Numina tf only requires 4 to start.
  10. Aid Self grants some stun resistance too, although not protection.
  11. I use it to survive Reviving in combat before I get my toggles back up. Also it holds a LotG +recharge.

    It is a mere shadow of it's former glory.
  12. I like it. It's not the mind blowing revamp I'd hoped for, but it finally grants something for solo play.
  13. World of Pain adds a To Hit and Damage Buff to your pets/allies. Will The Guassian's Proc have a chance to fire on others, or only yourself?
  14. It does get one's hopes up.

    Acrobatics

    I take Acrobatics for the Hold protection & resist(for the AT's that cannot get it in their own powersets). The KB protection is a bonus.

    Additionally, although probably not your department, the "ceiling" of zones really should be above said sky scrapers, nothing take you out of the awesomeness of flying like trying to go to the tallest building in a zone for an invisible barrier to block the way.

    That's because the 'Raptor pack' IS a Skyraider pack.

    (Yes, it is a let down)

    I've noticed. My rep went from +45 to -122 in a day. Not sure just what i did to warrant it.

    I really don't like the Rep system. It's easy to suddenly be in the red, and then you're treated like a *******.
  20. No. Well...yes and no...

    They are all Unique. I mean very unique. Slotting +Stealth from one set will lockout +Stealth from the other sets(Slotting +Stealth from Celerity will lock out +Stealth from Unbounded Leap, Soaring and Time/Space Manipulation).

    One trick that occurs(and not likely intended) is it will stack with itself if slotted in an active toggle when you zone. Each zoning will add another 30' stealth, but each extra 30' will disappear every 120 seconds.
  21. I take it a lot. It's not just 5% to hit, but +20% acc and +300ft perception. That, and it stacks with Kismet.

    I wish there was a recall or sent folder too. I sent something and typo'd the name, would of been great if I could i grabbed it back before it was claimed.

    Now use reply a lot more than typing the name.

    Conformation it is not 40.

    In-Game Mail Improvements

    You will now be able to send Influence, Infamy, Enhancements or even tradable Inspirations to any global name (@globalname), including your own characters. Mail with attachments cannot be deleted until the attachment is claimed, though mail with attachments can be returned to sender. You can only claim attachments sent by characters of the same faction. (Heroes can only receive attachments to Heroes. Villains can only receive attachments to Villains.) You can only keep 20 pieces of mail in your inbox. Mail sent to a full mailbox will bounce. (Bounced mail can exceed the cap.) If you are at the cap, you cannot send mail.

    That could be it.
