What do you do in the case of the assault rifle/ trick arrow corruptor? Both rifle and bow go on the back? I'd also like to know how she would use a power from her secondary without putting her rifle away. Actually, how would a traps user place a trip mine without putting the rifle away?

For every power that currently puts away a weapon, the developers would need to make at least 6 new animations. Male, Huge, Female, Male Flying, Huge Flying, Female Flying. Maybe Axe, Mace, and Broad Sword can all use the same animations, but Katana is left handed (also two handed), Titan Weapons is left handed, two handed, and the hands are further apart than Katana's, Dual Blades is Ambidextrous, Staff Fighting is one weapon and I can't tell if it's right or left handed.

Making that change would be a massive undertaking, even if it were just for the Melee sets.

They would need a much larger development team to get that animation done and still get other stuff done.

But that's still ignoring combos like Redraw Hell's. How would you deal with a situation in which a character has multiple weapons?

Say, Assault Rifle/Trick Arrow/Mace Mastery?

I'm also not sure about skipping Grant Cover. It provides Defense Debuff Resistance, and that is fairly important.

I'm also not certain that Combat Readiness needs two slots of to-hit buff.

Generally, unless you're going for a set bonus, taunt doesn't need extra slots.

It's not really an issue, it was just an idle thought, and then a consideration of "Well, if a person builds for it, why not let a character just be completely immune to debt?"

After seeing the video, I'd like to get it, but I don't have any characters that would use it.

I suppose I could come up with a concept for it. Hm.

Well, it can wait. Concept first, then power.

Are you using English pants or American pants?

And the weapons like Maces and Assault Rifles are costume parts, they already had the tech in place that having certain powers would unlock certain costume parts to choose between, as you might have noticed from respecifying on a character with a weapon set.

Now compare that to the jumble of Incarnate power customization: If you unlock Judgement and go to the tailor, it doesn't offer just the Judgement powers you have slotted; it offers every Judgement power. I find this annoying because I can not be bothered to remember the different names of the tier 3 powers.

Without new tech, I think they'd have to display every power pool and ancillary power pool option (though, I suspect that the Patron Pool Powers would only need to show up if your character had unlocked them).

It better simulates Flaring Spell Meta-magic.

So, I was playing around with a Warshade build (because, despite looking at the MFing Warshade build, and various respecs of my Warshade, I still haven't found a build I enjoy playing.) and I have discovered two things:

1) MIDs doesn't even bother calculating how much XP Debt Protection you've accumulated through various bonuses.

2) With only set bonuses, I couldn't do better than 33.5% Debt Protection.

However, if I could get the recharge on Stygian Return down to less than 90 seconds, as long as I made sure to die in less than 90 seconds, I would have 100% debt protection.

That said, I don't think it'd easy to be sure to die every 80 seconds or so.

I think they could safely triple XP Debt Protection bonuses.

You can get them via Reward Merit Vendors for 400 merits and 25 million influence.

Still, with the proc in Jab, I'm finding that it goes off pretty frequently, but I average one stack, though I did get up to three stacks during one mission.
