Telepathy Support set idea
« on: October 19, 2022, 07:37:24 pm »
Telepathy

You are capable of creating a telepathic link with those around you. You can use this link to improve the mental functions of your allies, or to invade the minds of your foes.
 
  - Read Thoughts: A new power that reduces the ToHit and Defense of a single foe. Uses the 'Boggle' and 'Mind Probe' FX, but at greater range
 
  - Strengthen Will: An AoE ally buff, providing resistance to Smashing, Lethal and Psionic. Uses the same FX as 'Mind Over Body' (Ancillary version)
 
  - Bolster Resolve: Another AoE ally buff, providing resistance to Fire, Cold, Energy and Negative. Uses the same FX as 'Indomitable Will' (Ancillary version)
 
  - Cognitive Boost: A PBAoE buff that improves Recharge, Recovery and Accuracy (and matching debuff resistance). Uses similar FX to 'Concentration' (Psionic Melee)
 
  - Clear Mind: Same power from Empathy, providing some mez protection
 
  - Fortitude: Same power from Empathy, providing a powerful ally buff.
 
  - Mind Link: Same power from Ancillaries/Widows, providing a boost to resistance, defense and ToHit
 
  - Drain Psyche: Same power from Mental Manipulation/Psionic Assault, draining enemy regeneration and recovery to boost your own
 
  - Sensory Overload: A new AoE debuff that reduces ToHit, Perception and Defense, and has a chance to Stun. Uses the same FX as 'Psychic Shockwave' on target

My concerns with this powerset suggestion almost entirely boil down to 1) a little too similar in origin to Empathy, and 2) not enough detail on how the powers run (e.g., is Cognitive Boost a toggle/aura or a click-power?). I'm not sure there is another Support set power like your Drain Psyche that only offers a self-buff, after debuffing PBAoE enemies - that would likely need a rework to be more Support-friendly.
