FOCUSED FEEDBACK: Power Revamps, Force Composition and Experimentation

[brw316]

New Pool Power Set: Experimentation
Experimentation gives you access to poisonous ranged attacks as well as powers that boost your attack power and the survivability of your allies. This pool's travel power is Speed of Sound.

Force Field Revamp
Force Field has long needed improving for the set's most underused and lackluster powers.  Particularly giving those powers effects suited to supporting the team in a way that befits this classic heroic support set. Alongside this revamp, Force Field becomes available to corruptors for the first time as well as to Guardians in the new Force Composition power set.

Force Field

Personal Force Field
Toggle: Self +Def, Res(All except Toxic)

• Removed the power's OnlyAffectsSelf property, allowing the user to attack and buff normally while it is active.
• The power now can only be active for up to 30 seconds at a time, and cannot be activated more often than once every 90 seconds. Recharge increased to 120 seconds.
• Animation time reduced from 2.03 to 1.03 seconds, and removed endurance cost.
  
• This change is experimental - we are seeking feedback on it!

Force Bolt
Ranged, Moderate DMG(Smash), Foe Knockback, Disorient, -Fly

• This power now does splash knockdown, knocking down up to 3 additional nearby targets (these targets do not take damage or become stunned).
• The power also now inflicts a stackable magnitude 1.5 stun, allowing it to disorient minions with one hit, LTs with two hits, and bosses after three hits.
• Increased damage scale to 1.0. It can benefit from Scourge and Containment for their respective Archetypes.

Barrier Field (formerly Detention Field)
Ranged, Ally +Absorb OR Foe Capture (Special)

• This power has been renamed to Barrier Field, and now may be used on either enemy or friendly targets.
• When used against a friendly target, it grants that target a very large amount of absorption over time for a short period of time.
• When used against an enemy target, it functions as the current Detention Field power does.
• The detention effect of the power has also been increased to magnitude 6 (allowing it to affect standard EBs), and the detention'd target is now also able to be affected by knockback, attract, and repel effects (only) from other Force Field (or Force Composition) powers.

Containment Shell (formerly Repulsion Field)
Ranged (Location AoE), Foe Attract, Immobilize, -Jump, -Repel, Knockback to Knockdown

• This is a new power that fills Repulsion Field's old slot. Repulsion Field has been moved to being a sub-power granted by owning Force Bubble.
• If you previously owned Repulsion Field, you will now own Containment Shell.
• This is a location-targeted persistent patch power that immobilizes targets and pulls them inwards using the new Attract effect.
• This power also prevents contained targets from being repelled and converts knockback to knockdown on those targets.

Repulsion Bomb
Ranged (Targeted AoE), Moderate DMG(Smash), Foe Knockdown, Disorient

• Chance to stun minions increased to 75%. Now has a 50% chance to stun LTs.
• The power's damage can benefit from Scourge and Containment.

Force Bubble
Toggle: PBAoE Foe -Speed, -DMG(All), Knockdown, Repel (Special)

• Repulsion Field
• Toggle: PBAoE Knockback OR Repel (Special)
• This Toggle power creates a field that repels nearby foes. If Force Bubble is also active, then when Repulsion Field is active it grants a Repel effect to Force Bubble, but has no effects itself. If used on its own, Repulsion Field violently flings away any foes that get too close, at the cost of some Endurance for each foe repelled. Repulsion Field's knockback can still affect a target that has been captured by Barrier Field. Repulsion Field costs no endurance to run, and is automatically granted by purchasing the Force Bubble power. Recharge: Slow
• This power is no longer purchased as an independent power, instead it is automatically granted by purchasing Force Bubble.
• If you previously owned Force Bubble, you will now also own Repulsion Field.
• When used on its own, Repulsion Field functions as it currently does.
• When activated while Force Bubble is also active, Repulsion Field has no effects itself, but enables Force Bubble's repel effect. In either case, Repulsion Field no longer has an ongoing endurance cost.
• Animation time reduced from 2.03 to 1.03 seconds.
• Now inflicts a significant -damage debuff and movement slow on targets hit.
• The repel effect is no longer permanently active - toggling on Repulsion Field while Force Bubble is active enables the repel effect, or leave Repulsion Field off to inflict the slow and -damage effects without any repel.
• Endurance cost reduced to 0.52/sec.

[Generator]

Containment Shell takes Immobilization enhancements, but it doesn't look like they do any good.  The Shell itself lasts for about 45s and it looks like the immobilize effect lasts about that long too.

OK.  Having actually tried it out a bit in various actual gameplay scenarios, I am now prepared to offer my feedback on the Personal Force Field change.  And while my impression of it has improved upon use, and while it's very close, I still think this is not the version of PFF that I ultimately want.  I actually really like being able to turn PFF on in the middle of things without having to effectively remove myself from the fight, especially with all the new tools Force Field has gotten.  Given the new role of the set with this redesign, that is not a factor I would be willing to give up; I definitely prefer "shoot through PFF" to the old PFF, even if it is much more limited in duration.  However, I dislike the mechanism which disallows the player from simply staying in PFF all the time — a hard 30 second time limit on the toggle itself.  The reason I dislike this is that there are no visual indicators for when the toggle is going to drop — you simply start taking a lot more damage if you still have aggro.  For Masterminds this isn't a tremendous concern because they are likely not going to be holding much aggro themselves, but for the other ATs, and Controllers in particular (who naturally draw a lot of aggro because enemies hate Mez), I think this is a significant issue, *especially* because the set's redesign encourages Force Bolt/Repulsion Bomb spam and increases their damage output for the two Force Field ATs most likely to draw aggro.

Personally speaking, I would vastly prefer for PFF to simply be the heaviest toggle in the game coupled with that 90 second (or maybe 120 second, if need be) recharge.  I'm talking upwards of 4 END/sec.  That puts a pretty strict limit on how long you can maintain it in the middle of a bad situation and still contribute to the team, but the player has multiple tools to manage and/or extend that duration themselves, and you have a very obvious visual cue for when it's about to crash on you (and have reason to cancel it early yourself).  This makes PFF a big power with a big impact, but difficult to master and very demanding of investment if you want it to be truly powerful.  It also has the side-effect of allowing players to use it very similarly to how it functioned before if desired simply by slotting it for END redux and making sure you have Stamina slotted.  (It also happens to justify the power's appearance later in the set for Masterminds thanks to their built-in Endurance penalty.)

I do recognize that there are several END management tools that run the risk of making "shoot-through" PFF whose drawback is a high endurance cost a ridiculously powerful power.  I am personally of the opinion that this is not more game-breaking than building for a large amount of Defense from IOs, but I also acknowledge that it's a legitimate balance concern that needs careful consideration.  If the team believes this is not tenable with the prevelance of +END IOs/Speed Boost/Ageless Invocation, then I would at least request that the team consider converting the power to a click so that the icon under your Health/Endurance bars blinks as it is about to expire.  This is more difficult to notice than the blue bar crashing, but at least it is a visual warning of some kind.

[Ourobius]

The enhancement permissions for Aerobatics and Dive Attack appear to be switched. I can slot damage into Aerobatics, but I *cannot* slot Soaring or Freebird. However, Dive Attack *will* accept Soaring and Freebird.

[Ourobius]

CORRECTION: Dive Attack does not accept them either.

There appears to be a hitch in the flight animation. When my character comes to a dead stop, the flight pose is held for roughly half a second before dropping into idle.

[SilverAgeFan]

There appears to be a hitch in the flight animation. When my character comes to a dead stop, the flight pose is held for roughly half a second before dropping into idle.

For clarity, a few questions:

Are you using the default flight pose? Or a custom flight pose?

Were you using Afterburner as well? Have you customized either Afterburner or Hover?

[Ourobius]

I tested it with custom and default flight poses. Same result with both.

I also tried it with and without Aerobatics. Did not try it with Afterburner.

For clarity, a few questions:

Are you using the default flight pose? Or a custom flight pose?

Were you using Afterburner as well? Have you customized either Afterburner or Hover?

This seems to be a general delay in changing poses while flying.  There is a half-second delay when moving from a full-stop (you'll be moving forward in the default Hover animation for a moment then enter whatever flight pose you have selected) as well as when stopping while in flight.  (You'll have stopped while holding your Fly pose for a moment.)  There is also a delay when you change direction from moving forward to moving upward, which has a different animation as well.  There is also a visual bug caused by being attacked while in flight, which causes you to revert to the default Hover pose (regardless of which flight pose you have selected for Hover) until you do something else which would cause you to change flight poses (stopping and starting again, moving upwards, etc.).

All testing of above was done in Rikti War Zone with the default Fly pose, the Heroic Fly pose, the Soaring Fly pose, the default Hover pose, and the Fly Hover pose.

[Microcosm]

Posted some of this in Discord, but want to elaborate here. I like the way a lot of these changes have been thought out and applied. I think we have some issues with the Warshade part of this though. The most valuable part of the TP changes to a Warshade is going to be Teleport Foes. More than any other character in the game a WS needs enemies grouped around them for all their melee-range buffs/stun/attacks. Because of the original slap-together design of khelds, they have many abilities that actively push enemies away from their buff/debuff zone, and Teleport Foes would be the only current power that can dump a group right into it instead.

You can go through the TP pool as a WS and still get to TP foes, but it forces you to pick one completely useless duplicate power in either TP Self or TP Other since WS's get those by default. (You can pick up the pool version of Blink instead of the Starless Charge for the other pick, which is fine). Even as valuable as TP Foes is for WS's, picking one duplicate power with no benefits feels bad.

Now, combine this with the fact that Starless Charge looks to be actually an inferior choice. First, human Warshades have plenty of single target attacks, but hurt more on AoE (Extinguish Light helps here!), so they don't really need it except as a mule. Second, Blink seems to actually do the same amount of damage in game for a slightly shorter animation time, and since it pushes you along the path for that more valuable Teleport Foes, it makes more sense to just grab Blink (Warshades don't tend to have as bad a pool power crunch as they used to).

My 2 cents would be, swap Starless Charge for a Warshade version of Teleport Foes. Players can still get the single target teleport attack if they want by grabbing Blink for one power pick (which is again already better than Starless Charge), and it doesn't force you to get two versions of TP Self or TP Other to get to the power they actually want. You could also move Extinguish Light to where Starless Charge is and put Teleport Foes where Extinguish Light currently is (might make more sense since the EL is actually an attack anyway).

- Recall:
   - Range of NPC Teleport decreased to slightly over standard attack distance from 200 ft to 100 ft.  The power still accepts ranged enhancements, TP and Universal Travel sets.
   - Range of PvP Teleport decreased to long-range attack distance from 200 ft to 150 ft.  The power still accepts ranged enhancements, TP and Universal Travel sets.

Curious to know the thinking behind this change.  Maybe I've been using it not-as-intended, but I always thought of TP Foe as a substitute for a snipe power: able to pick off a single enemy at an extreme distance when you need to thin the herd.  If I'm correct in thinking 150 feet is standard for snipe powers, wouldn't it make sense for that to be the minimum range for this as well?

I agree.
The base range of this power ought to be consistent in PvE and PvP.
Set both to 150 ft and call it a day.

[GueVesa]

Question for Teleport powers: how baked in is facing for the power?  It would be great if the toon didn't have to stop and turn when using "powexeclocation left:6 recall". If it would just drop the target to the left of me, and not make me turn left before casting, so I then don't have to turn back to the fighting, that would be great.  Other uses would be "Powexeclocation backwards:10 teleport", just to skip backwards 10 feet, but still facing the direct I was.  Even sticking with the "must be in camera view" would be fine.

[Jagged]

Please can we revert the lastest change that moved +flight control out of Aerobatics and into Afterburner. It doesn't work either mechanically or thematically.

[Redlynne]

Acrobatics
Toggle: Self +Jump, +DEF(All), +Res(Knockback, Hold)

• Added moderate Defense(All) on par with Weave.  Acrobatics now accepts Defense enhancements.
• Added moderate Jump height/speed.  Acrobatics now accepts Jump and Universal Travel enhancements.
• Increased endurance cost from 0.26/s to 0.33/s.
• Effects will suppress while Aerobatics (Flight) is active.
• Weave will suppress while Acrobatics is active.

Aerobatics (formerly Group Fly)
Toggle: Self +FlySpeed, Res(-Fly), +Def(All), +Flight Control

• Aerobatics now occupies the former Group Fly power in the Flight pool.
• While Aerobatics is active, Acrobatics and Weave will suppress.
• Group Fly


• Obtaining Aerobatics now unlocks Group Fly mode for Fly.
• If you previously had Group Fly you will now have both Aerobatics and Group Fly powers.

Just to confirm what ought to already be apparent ... it is perfectly possible (and indeed intended!) to have Acrobatics OR Aerobatics toggled on instead of Weave, even if not jumping or flying. It's not as if the +Def(All), etc. mods suppress when not jumping or flying ... correct?

In other words, Acrobatics/Aerobatics can be taken as "set and forget" toggles, much like how Weave is handled in that regard (no dependencies, it's just ON).

Granted, if you aren't jumping/flying around, having extra jump speed/height or extra flight speed/flight control isn't really "doing anything for you" until you move around "that way" ... but it's not as if the +Def(All) buff gets suppressed while just standing around (or fighting on the ground) ... right?
