Well, seeing as how i havent found the link on the website and spent quite a bit of time last night looking for the link on the official boards, i decided to post the link here to help anyone who needs it, to part of the Villain Epic Archetype Powers (pre-branch) Villain Epic Archetype Powers (Pre-Branch) as well as to ask the GA community what they think about them

One word: Awesome.
Just so you all know, other than Dragon Fang I'm also known as King of Robotics. Or Fluffy.
But, fair warning, if you call me the latter, I'll kill you.

Early stage work seems to be going nicely, but I thought it was going to be more like a branching power setup. Like yo start as a wolf spider, but you can work yourself up to either a Bane Spider or Crab Spider. Didn;t see anything on the list that looked like Bane Spider mace powers, cuz those things are awesome with smashing and toxic damg with chances to disorient.

To me it seems like their lacking in powers, and unless they get a whole new sheet of Power Pools for branching off, the PB and WS power pools have a LOT more attacks.

Yes, branching will be necessary to open up additional power choices. According to the OB's you *can* choose not to branch, but your power choices will be limited.

That may be how they are going to set this up with pool powers that can only be accessed by your Epic. For example, you choose the blood widow path, then when you reach lvl 6 instead of the normal pool sets, there are two more sets that you can select that train you up to be either a Fortunata or a Night Widow.

OK, did my best to transfer in what info I could glean in a little more "At-a-Glance" style:
Arachnos Widow: Widow Training
* Poison Dart: Poison Dart does light lethal damage to your foe, then poisons them. The poison does toxic damage over time and reduces their regeneration rate. Damage: Light Recharge: Fast
* Swipe: No information available; seems to be a simple melee attack.
* Lunge: Lunge does moderate lethal damage to your foe, then poisons them. The poison does Toxic damage over time and slows their recovery rate and movement speed. Lunge may cause Critical damage if used following a 'Placate' ability. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Medium
* Dart Burst: Poison Burst does light lethal damage to foes in a 30' arc, then poisons them. The poison does toxic damage over time and reduces their regeneration rate. Damage: Light Recharge: Medium
* Follow Up: You perform a feint attack that deals moderate damage. After this attack hits, it gives you a large bonus to Accuracy and Damage for a brief time. Strike may cause Critical damage if used following a 'Placate' ability. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Slow
* Spin: Spin does light Lethal damage to all foes within an 8' radius of you, then poisons them. The poison does Toxic damage over time and slows their recovery rate and movement speed. Strike may cause Critical damage if used following a 'Placate' ability. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Slow
* Strike: Strike does moderate Lethal damage to your foe, then poisons them. The poison does Toxic damage over time and slows their recovery rate and movement speed. Strike may cause Critical damage if used following a 'Placate' ability. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Medium
* Confront: Challenges a foe to attack you. Useful to pull a villain off an ally who finds himself in over his head. An Accuracy check is required to Taunt enemy players, but is not needed against critter targets. Recharge: Fast
Arachnos Widow: Teamwork
* Combat training Defensive: You are more evasive to melee attacks.
* Combat training Offensive: Your accuracy is improved.
* Tactical training Maneuvers: A good leader knows how to protect his team. While active, this power increases the Defense of yourself and all nearby teammates to all attacks.
* Tactical training Assault: While this power is active, you and your teammates deal more damage and are protected from Taunt and Placate.
* Tactical training Leadership: While this power is active, your Accuracy and that of all your nearby teammates is increased. Your advanced Tactics can also protect you and your team from Confuse and Fear effects, as well as your Perception so you can detect stealthy foes.
* Indomitable Will: When you toggle on this power, it grants protection from Sleep, Disorient, Fear, Immobilize, Confusions, Repel, Knockback and Hold effects. Indomitable Will also grants a moderate defense to Psionic based attacks. Recharge: Fast
* Foresight: Widows who possess Foresight are resistant to Psionic damage, as well as Sleep, Hold, Immobilization, Disorient, Confuse and Fear effects. They have improved Defense as well, due to being able to see attacks slightly before they occur.
Arachnos Soldier: Arachnos Soldier
* Single Shot: A quick single shot from the Arachnos Submachinegun. Extremely accurate. Damage: Minor Recharge: Fast
* Pummel: You can smash your opponents with your fists. Damage: Minor Recharge: Fast
* Burst: Quickly fires a burst of rounds at a single target at long range. Damage is average, but the fire rate is fast. Can also reduce the target's Defense. Damage: Moderate (DoT) Recharge: Fast
* Wide Area web grenade: Launches a grenade at long range from under the barrel of your Assault Rifle. It explodes into a field of sticky webs which slow and can immobilize all foes within its radius. Recharge: Medium
* Heavy Burst: Fires a Heavy Burst of rounds at a single target at long range. Can also reduce the target's Defense. Damage: High (DoT) Recharge: Medium
* Bayonet: Your weapon includes a bayonet attachment which you can use to stab at your enemies for lethal damage. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Medium
* Venom Genade: This poisonous grenade damages and weakens your foes. Damage: Moderate Recharge: Long
* Frag Grenade: Launches a M30 grenade at long range from under the barrel of your Assault Rifle. The explosion from this grenade affects all within the blast and can knock them back.
Arachnos Soldier: Training and Gadgets
* Wolf Spider Armor: Your Wolf Spider Armor provides good protection to Smashing, Lethal and Psionic damage types, as well as offering basic levels of protection to most status effects, including Confuse, Fear, Disorient, Hold, Sleep and Immobilize effects.
* Combat training Defensive: You are more evasive to melee attacks.
* Combat training Offensive: Your accuracy is improved.
* Tactical training Maneuvers: A good leader knows how to protect his team. While active, this power increases the Defense of yourself and all nearby teammates to all attacks.
* Tactical training Assault: While this power is active, you and your teammates deal more damage and are protected from Taunt and Placate.
* Tactical training Leadership: While this power is active, your Accuracy and that of all your nearby teammates is increased. Your advanced Tactics can also protect you and your team from Confuse and Fear effects, as well as your Perception so you can detect stealthy foes.
* Mental Training: Your mental training allows you to focus your will, allowing you to move faster than normal, as well as resist slow effects. This power is always on and will permanently increase your attack rate and movement speed.
* Call Reinforcements: As a Crab Spider you have access to a small squadron of Arachnobot Disruptors. Two Disruptors that are one level less than you will show up when summoned. Recharge: Extremely Long

I was actually in the middle of creating a new character when I stopped and saw this. I stopped making the character and went on my main to get closer to level 50 so I could get these epics when i12 comes out.
Dear God...Ladies and Gentleman, I believe we have found the cure to altitus!
(Well, my altitus anyway, I don't know about the rest of you ;)

Well, this is most likely the inspiration for a whole new wave of altitus, :D now... if we can only get an open beta/release date/ pics of the branching powers, some popcorn and a villainous movie...

this looks cool and all but, seems kinda weak at-a-glance.
although i will say that i'm sure to have one of each type and i can't wait to play these new builds!
are there gonna be inherent powers for these new Epic ATs? seems that would make them more "Epic" than a few auto secondaries and some weak DoT attacks.

That's the bad part about the cure for altitus.
It causes altitus.

Speculation is one of the greatest things about these new Issues. It generates so much uncertainty you can help but wonder what all is really going live. You know how those sneaky Devs are, they don't always tell us EVERYTHING that is going into each Issue anyways. They always throw in something extra we knew nothing about.
I for one am excited about the new Villain Epics regardless of how they "branch" or not. I am intrigued by their approach.

I'm not so sure myself. I don't want to be an Arachnos spider, uh...person...thing. Although, I think being one of the Snakes might be interesting.
I guess if I'm going to be villainous, I'd rather do it freelance, following my own desires than to be affiliated with some kind of agency.
Down with Arachnos!
Long live... uh...
Long line... uh...
ME! Long live me! Yeah, that's it!

Besides the fact that you could only see this if you were chosen for the closed beta you would be in alot of trouble for sharing such info. Anyone not allowed into the closed beta is not able to select the epics yet.
Wont believe it till I see it. |
Actually, anyone who already has a 50 villain on test can choose VEATs as a character to create. You can choose powers, create a costume, and even pick a name, but you can't go into the game unless you have a beta pass.

Actually thats not true. Several of my friends who have villain 50's are not able to choose the VEAT's.

According to the Longbow Training video, the branch will happen at threat level 24....
Akin to dwarf form on PB/Warshades I believe.

i was wondering if anyone wants to help me get a 50 villain. i don't mean getting PL'd or anything, i mean having someone to team with that knows the villain side (i dont really). i play CoV on Justice usually, but i have a lvl 14 on infinity if anyone has a character that level.
or, if you have a server that you play on a lot or have a character that could really use a particular type of support i could make one and run with you while lackeyed. i dunno. this cool new addition makes me want to get way into the villain side.
thanks!
