Personaly I'm a flavor player. I dont care what the primaries and secondaries are but it would be nice if each primary for an AT had a secondary that made sense with it. Stone for Doms, fine but what the heck do you match to it? Also I would have loved to have seen Doms get Illusion control. The idea of trickery and false images just seems more a senaky vilian thing to me.

If a Brute can have Energy Melee, i don't understand why scrappers cannot. i will say though that fire shield with spines will be nasty for PvE, but i prefer PvP. Meh Corrupters getting Storm and Controllers getting Themal is good though

This is just another screw over for villains tbh. I am a pvp'r at heart andtosay. The heroes do get itall. Villains are good atpvp but its a lotharder for villains than it is for heroes. Blasters just own anything and if the new VEAT's are a conter-mneasure against blasters i'll be EXTREMLY happy. But such luck isn't to be had it would seem.
