Your soul is my chew toy.

That would be Ninjas (without Force Fields boosting their token Defenses).

The only buff(s) that Repel needs are a faster activation time (with endurance cost per second for the toggle maintained) so that it's "quicker" to repel hostiles ... and a slightly larger radius so that hostiles are hard(er) pressed to actually enter melee range and get off a melee attack. With a faster activation and a slightly larger PBAoE radius, Repel would become an awesome "keep away" power.

Depends on what's in it. But my default position would be "yes" simply because I've bought all of the other expansion packs too.

They could do one for $8, no problem.

I for one would like to see the Warehouse Map ramps (for 3D base building!) and vertical storage. I want the Crystal Lamps that you see on Orenbega Maps as a new lighting option. I'd love to be able to emplace the Crystal Generators (health, recovery, damage) that we all know and love to see on Orenbega Maps. I'd want to have the option of using a Tech Lab Mission Door (with the sliding doors) as an emplaced Wall Item as the entrance to the instance, instead of the glowie blue pillar of energy.

I want shipping crates and PIPES like we see in the Cargo Ship interiors.

I want some of the interior art that went into creating AE locations and interactables to be available to Base Editors.

And has absolutely no one on staff considered the possibility of porting bits and pieces of the Arachnos Labs into the Base Editor?

And why can't we get Wall Items that function like in-room elevators as Decorative Items? Basically you have a linked pair of items (Main+AUX?) that functionally work as in-room teleporters and which look like Orenbega Ring Portals, or Tech Lab Elevators, or like Arachnos Lab Elevators. This would let us dispense with a lot of the "trickery" involved in 3D building required for STAIRS, which take up a HUGE volume of space in order to do correctly. Just being able to click on a "Lift" that teleports you to a point that is "up or down" from your current location would be wonderful. You could even set things up so that they only work on a vertically aligned axis (so only up/down, no side to side) and it would be wonderful.

I'd love to be able to define AUDIO through emplaced items ... such as Boomboxes which can play music, including all of the audio music tracks that already exist in the game for zoning into various regions (with an option to set the audio on loop!).

Raise the limit on Salvage Rack storage from 30 to 60 items and EVERYONE who owns a base will buy it. DUH!

Raise the limit on the max number of Salvage Items (enhancement, inspiration, salvage) a base can have ... and EVERYONE who owns a base will buy it. DUH!

Raise the limit on the number of non-defense AUX items that can be placed into each room ... and EVERYONE who owns a base (particularly bases which use small rooms) will buy it. DUH!

Note that *NONE* of these three suggestions require anything other than editing the database which limits these options ... meaning development work on these suggestions should be "relatively straightforward" (so to speak). At this point, simply being able to "have more stuff" in your Base would be a worthwhile "expansion" of bases, worthy of the price of an expansion pack.

NEGATIVE.

Siphon Power buffs ALL FRIENDLIES in a PBAoE AROUND YOU.
Fulcrum Shift buffs ALL TEAMMATES in a Targeted AoE AROUND YOUR TARGET.

Not even close to be functionally identical/equivalent. You get more return on investment from Power Siphon in Raid/League environments (think Hamidon phase or center of Rikti Mothership defense phase) because it has a much higher Max Targets limit than Fulcrum Shift, and isn't limited to Team Only.

And as also pointed out, Siphon Power and Siphon Speed are unresistable debuffs ... meaning they cut through AV level protections with ease, unlike most other powers.

Perfect. Now could someone please transcribe all that info to someplace where it's easy to look at and reference ... like, say ... this thread?

Fine. People who actually *have* these Lore pets need to start documenting what powers and abilities these pets actually GET (or not). I can't make an informed decision as to which type I want to be using without having even the slightest clue as to what powers and abilities (and buffs) they MIGHT even offer.

Hence why I say that MA/* is filled with substantially useless *tricks* that are of exceedingly little value to Scrappers and which seems to have been deliberately crippled so as to make sure they are as useless as possible ... all while making MA/* pay through the nose for the "privilege" of having them (at all).

I substantially agree with you that a Huntsman build is really awesome for the Soldier side of VEAT. It's just non-stop Run 'n' Gun when you stick to the Soldier attacks.
