Water powers. DCUO is getting a water powerset. Aesthetically, with Wind and Ice, you're almost there. I mean come on devs, it's $CURRENT_YEAR.

    My goo/slime character wants water powers. I'm faking it with ice right now, but legit liquid powers would be awesome.

    You know WIND is a nice Replacement, but I would prefer to have WATER for my WATER mage​​

    I'm really surprised there are no water powers seems like all the mechanics are there all you should have to do tweak the visuals but then again i'm also surprised CO doesn't have a plant-based powerset either

    There are ways to simulate water powers. I'd rather have plant control, and from what I hear in -game it's a popular choice

    Anyone have any cool ideas for the mechanics of a water based powerset? Since there are no existing water powers, it isn't like adding powers to an existing set where you try to play off the mechanics of the powers already available.

    Water powers would need something different that makes them more unique that just "WATER FXs! SPPLSSH!"

    well, one of the obvious things would be a electric damage resist debuff, since y'know...water+electricity=zappy fun​​

    while trying to find the amount of devs on DCUO, I found this article about the layoffs in that studio and that PWE was trying to buy them.

    Electricity, Ice, Wind and even Force all have some good anims that can be used for a water powerset. It shouldn't take too long to do it.
    On the other hand, Plant Control sounds a lot more original and may bring something really new in the actual powersets.

    And the setting has an official plant-based villain, called Thorn, who'd make the perfect vehicle to introduce plant powers.

    Mind you, it also has a couple of water-elemental villains, so you're covered either way.

    Oooh, I sense a Plant Villain Rampage behind all that ;)

    Also vulnerable to being chilled, Cold damage debuff as well, would work nicely as a supportive power set, slowing them down, debuffing and crushing them.
    Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.

    I take this quote from a review that I agree with.

    "customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

    Water- erosion. Wearing down of defences.
    Fresh water- heals, though Flash flood would be a aoe damage and knockdown.
    Salt water- erosion and knock backs, forwards, downs.​​

    Still waiting for a true Water powerset for Aquaria... Honestly rather tired of her TK/Force setup... and I'm starting to consider rebuilding her with Wind until we get a Water set.
