| Veteran Reward Archetype Idea |
|
|
|
I'd been thinking for awhile that it would be a great idea if they'd introduce a new archetype as a veternan reward. Perhaps after 2 years or so it would be unlocked on both the hero and villain sides. My idea for a veteran archetype was one that fits into the wizard or gadgeteer class with a variety of abilities.
The primary power I'd come up with is similar to a dominator secondary being a mixture of melee and ranged attacks. However, they come in a variety of different damage types for a good reason.
The secondary is a versatility set that is mostly about damage mitigation for you and your allies. It is a mixture of brute or stalker type armor powers, corruptor secondary and dominator primary type powers.
Primary Set:
Concussion Blast- Fire a blast of concussive force at a single foe causing minor smashing and energy damage with a good chance of knockback. Recharge fast
Charged Blade- Summon an energy sword and slash single foe for moderate melee lethal and energy damage. Recharge moderate.
Sword of Shadows- Summon a sword of negative energy and slash in a wide melee cone for moderate lethal and negative energy damage. Damaged foes also have decreased accuracy.
Spontaneous Combustion- Ranged attack causes a single foe to burst into flames and take moderate DOT. The target may combust and take further damage later on. There is a good chance the target of this attack will not see you. Recharge long.
Acid Rain- Creates an cloud of toxic vapors which rains poison down upon an area, causing minor toxic DOT in an AOE and also reducing the defenses of all foes caught within. Recharge long.
Cold Snap- This is a targed AOE that causes icicles to burst up from the ground around a targeted foe doing moderate cold and lethal DOT to target and all other foes nearby as well as slowing them. Recharge long.
Twighlight Resurgence- This power sends out a short ranged AOE around you doing minor cold and negative damage to all foes hit. These foes have reduced accuracy and are slowed. You regain a small amount of health and endurance for each foe hit. Recharge long.
Poltergeist- Summon a ghostly being composed of psychic energy which is capable of ranged and melee psychic damage as well as causing fear in some. This being vanishes again after 30 seconds and recharge is very long. Only one Poltergeist may be summoned at a time.
Bolt from the Blue- This is a targeted AOE that causes a bolt of energy to come from the sky and hit target. The target takes superior energy and smashing damage. All foes near the target take lesser smashing and energy damage and are knocked back. This attack uses a large amount of endurance. Recharge is very long.
Secondary Set:
Familiar- Summons 1 of 5 different small familiars depending upon your origin. As long as this familiar is close to you it increases your damage, accuracy and decreases the endurance cost of all your powers.
Personal Protection- Toggle power that provides damage resistance to all damage except psionic.
Recover Ally- Heals and recovers endurance for target ally.
Misdirection- Summons a glowing floating sphere which generates an aura that taunts all foes close to it. This sphere is stationary and only remains for 20 seconds once summoned but while it is present it can be healed and buffed like any other pet.
Snap Free- Click power that gives you protection from immobilize, hold, stun, sleep, confuse, fear, placate and slow effects for 15 seconds. This power can be activated while under the influence of such effects.
Scapegoat- Click power that causes target foe to develope an aura which both confuses and taunts his own allies who are near him. Recharge very long.
Gleaming Distraction- Summon a cloud of small glowing crystals which reflect light greatly reducing the accuracy of all foes within and having a good chance of leaving them disoriented. Recharge very long.
Instant Reset- Click power which caues the next power activated to immediately be up again. Recharge very long.
Fortunes Glory- Click power that when activated causes you and all allies standing close to you to have increased defences to all damage except psionic.

One thing that I seemed to have forgotten to add was that I imagined this AT having a special ability called Alliance. Whenever one of your teammates dealt damage to an opponent then any damage that you dealt of the same type would recieve a slight increase for the next several seconds. If one of your teammates use an energy attack then the powers you have that deal energy damage would be increased slightly. If you're on a solo mish this Alliance ability would be completely useless, but if you're on a large team you could see some nice benefits from it.
