Very nice, the story looks quite tasty and I am looking forward to the new Sets!

IF you plan on leveling one you MUST focus on going for a defense build. Even on 8 man team your PBaoes will draw aggro to you like something fierce. One of the best power pics that I decided on was Hot Feet. Not only does it hurt the baddies but it makes them haul booty.

Plant/Fire Dom. Great Aoe and SOC keeps every mob confused!

I'm sorry Runt but if you call what BP posted above Sarcasm then wow, he needs to work on wording things better. It reeked of a condescending tone rather than sarcasm...Even though the last comment about the month off needed a smiley of some sort...yes a smiley would audibly let everyone know that he was just being quite tongue in cheeky.

First off, I have to say that I find it hilarious that you're telling me that I could of gotten the day off. It's not like I didn't immediately ask my boss for those days off after the announcement...and then have him quickly tell me no/not likely...nope, that never happened to me..no siiirree. The sick day option might be my best bet...but it's a bit late now since he knows that I wanted those days off and the other problem is I never call in sick anyway...ever.

I'm a super awesome employee at my job and the managers as well as my fellow co-workers love me...but that still doesn't change the fact that two people are taking a vacation at my job at the same time(which ironically they put in a month before the date). I'm not crying Doooom nor am I trying to negate the fact that I'm not the majority of COX gamers BUT I must comment on how short notice this was, they can give us at least a month in advance.

I'm just putting it out there be heard by the big wigs. I mean no harm, I'm just relaying a message.

I hope I have the days off as well, I to work retail(Bookstore) and I had to scramble to request the days off...and even though my boss said it wasn't likely I would get them .

That works. I have a Jack O' Lantern toon and the closest thing theme wise for him is the Rularuu. I still want to go Cimeroran though...just b/c who didn't get owned by these guys in one or two hits before?

Hrmm.

I know this sounds crazy pantz but...since they are customizing the set...maybe they are giving Doms Phantom Army but maybe a different Version tailored only to Doms?

Instead of getting Three phantoms that deal ST dmg, doms will get two phantoms that only have Pbaoe/aoe attacks to compensate for the lack of large spawn control? Controllers have a secondary to back them up if things get dicey...Doms...not so much.

I'm going to make a thermal as well. I don't care to make a /Fire defender but it's nice that the option is there .

Plant/ will go well with this set but plant is awesome at almost everything. I think Personally Elec/Poison will be interesting. Imagine you dishing it out in a huge mob alongside the melee toons using your electric Spirit Fingers attacks draining end while rolling your sleeves up and getting dirty! Not only are you draining end you are debuffing baddies to the floor with VG! Bosses will piddle when they see you! EB's will shake in fear at the thought of challenging you! AV's and GM's will give you the bird!

Earth would also work well but the dmg will be low but the pairing would still be awesome like a Earth/Rad er somethin'. Fire could work you just have to be careful but go ahead jump in there and let the imps go nuts!

Of course mind would work as well...it works with almost everything and Illusion...ugh.../Poison and Illusion were meant for each other!

Another combo...which I think would be interesting would be Ice/Poison...

Artic Air would be A perfect combo with VG. Affording you some breathing room as you debuff the baddies down to their underoos. I would say though the main reason I would like to roll a Ice/poison is due to my LOVE for -Recharge...so of course pairing up Neurotic Breath and Shiver would make me foam from the mouth...it would be almost like an extra hold...

Rant over.

It depends...If the set is changed in the way I think it will be...it will come out being VERY versatile. Since NG er should I say VG is a PBaoe I personally would like something up close and well...personal, so maybe Rad/Poison, Dp/Poison and Elec/Posion.

Sadly I never Took Poison Trap so I know little about it. I do remember hearing that it didn't set off as easy as the /Traps version so I don't know if it's going to be dependable. I think the best mitigation in this set is NB. I grew to love that power and thanks to that power alone one could even make cone/long range toons. The brief hold at the beginning is awesome and the -recharge/-slow makes it a must have. The cone would make a Dark/, Sonic/ and AR work.

Archery, Ice and fire would be weird due to the play style of the sets but it's doable. I would set up a poison trap around the corner and then aggro the mob from around the corner with RoA, RoF or Ice Storm. Once they hit the trap I would hit them with Neurotoxic Breath for good measure (throw in the pace proc), then hit them with evenom and weaken because I'm paranoid and I want to "-res" the group with the "splash" debuff...after all that Go to town!

I think with the new changes it will play like a hybrid TA/Traps/Rad. This toon will be one of my mains and I love this set even more than I love Cold. As you guys can tell I can't flippin' wait!

Also Dark Mastery and Soul Mastery will be PERFECT for this set.

I agree it's a bit rough but the combo is great on teams. It can be good solo as well but you have to really watch it.

My Ar/Kin was a Gunslinger Malta toon...he was made way before DP came out.

Dark Pit will be great for when you're a lowbie. This is exciting I've already written down what powers I want to take and what IO's I'm going to slot.

I was rushing to work! I forgot to ask about poison! *sobs*

Indeed they did. They said it didn't have enough umph to meet the brute's needs. Maybe the set was balanced around how often a Scrappers crits with claws fast animating attacks?

Wait!? Whut? I thought they took out Spin in the claws set...which is imho the most important power in the entire set.

Thanks Devs for the Proliferation nummyness. I am awaiting mor einfo on Time Manip and Poison! I can't wait! I deleted all my filler toons to make room LOL.
