    Why not call the Glinting auras Glint and make the fixer versions Glinting? And make the the Glint auras keep the original icon?

    There's too many auras with the same icon that do different things.

    Hammer's costume in Red Winter Alert no longer has a hammer.

    This doesn't seem to work with Sparkstorm Electric Personality adv.

    Havoc Hammer, which is melee damage, relies on Deafening to boost it. However, powers that apply Deafening are all ranged and may already Paralyze and Stun targets. So the paralyze and stun on the device seems redundant and actually hinders the use of other powers.

    We should get melee powers to also apply Deafening. Maybe Thunderclap can get it innately or when you get Collateral Damage and Brimstone's Thundering Roar also applies Deafening.

    The range on Sparkstorm is a 15ft sphere. You need to be at least 20ft away for the new version of Gloves of the Sniper. There's a fair amount of 25ft sphere PBAOEs but have fun getting the 20ft minimum distance zeroed-in reliably.

    I really don't think Hammer Fist is dropping. I haven't seen any announcements of it dropping in any chat channels, I haven't seen it in the AH. I've gotten a handful of gold drops but no Hammer Fist.

    These decisions of Sniper boosting range when so many "ranged" powers are practically melee is so very short sighted.

    I love the additions to the alert, especially the two new power variant devices. I especially like the fact that there's another sonic attack. I'd like to use this opportunity to ask that you consider adding a few more sonic powers/devices/ultimates at some point to help make sonic heroes (melee and/or ranged) more viable.

    Are the onslaught primaries supposed to work with Energy Builders? It doesn't say that they shouldn't, but the text doesn't say that it is enhancing them.
