Right now, munitions is basically a mish-mosh of small arms, military arms, and heavier weapons. I would like to see each "branch" fleshed out a bit more:
1. Add an AR EB
2. Add a few more "heavy weapon" powers - like a mortar and artillery strike.
3. Since the devs added the strafing run to gadgeteering, how about adding a "bombing run" or "airstrike" power which could deal piercing damage and use the F-18 or other jet model.
4. Give munitions its own block power - you could use the riot shield that some police use.
5. Give munitions its own passive. I'd like to see something sort of like Quarry, but that gives damage absorption or resistance, and perhaps boosts dex & ego instead of int & ego.
6. Give munitions a gun turret temporary summon - it would be fixed in its summon location, and could have an advantage that turns it into a rocket turret instead of a machine gun one.
7. Give Munitions a direct self heal - it would heal for a little bit less than conviction, wouldn't grant the extra HP, and perhaps could be advantaged to end any DoTs on you.
8. I'd like to see some sort of positional defensive power - something where you summon a sandbag wall where you are and standing near it gives you and your team a defensive bonus.
9. CoX had a leadership power pool which granted bonuses to damage, accuracy, and defense - I'd like to see munitions get a support passive that granted a combination of a damage resistance, crit chance, and perhaps mez resistance buff.

Anyways, I agree with EVERYTHING. IMO, Munitions, while not one of the worst, it has needed some love. I can't remember the last time it even got a new power. I'd say the last time it was touched is when they tweaked what skins could be used or some such. It's kind of like fire, the last thing it was given was a shield at F2P... but I digress :P
I say stuff and I say things, sometimes together but only when I'm feeling adventurous.
I'm @blu8 in game!
That could work - there's a mission in the desert where you use a simple hand motion over a downed soldier, and it adds a little medical satchel to your character while you're doing this. They could also just use the hypodermic gun thingy from gadgeteering's rez serum...

I've been suggesting and poking devs since forever for powers like airstrike (specifically the cluster bombing runs right from stronghold prison), an active defense or offense that uses the bullet time effect that was used in demonflame in the tower of lethargy and despair, and just generally improving the in set mechanics of the powers to actually work off one another instead of being a random mish-mash of debuffs.
I've mostly given up hope. I doubt the game will be around much longer than a year from now, and we only get a few power revisits a year. Course, those have basically just become throwing a handful of overpowered new powers into the set and moving on. Like they're literally doing right now with telepathy on PTS...
Snark never dies.
I'd love to see cluster bombing/carpet bombing as a power in the munitions set,and I WOULD HUG THE DEVS if they added a power with the bullet time effect from the adventure pack.

The Bullet Time effect in the temple of Lethargy is a cheat which makes it impossible to do in open world maps, they basically slow the entire instance to create the effect.
Demolition Expertise (Tier 1)
You are REALLY good at breaking, burning and blowing things up!
Set: Munitions
Typ: Slotted Passive
Animation: None.
+ Can be slotted in an Offensive or Balanced passive power slot.
+ Greatly increases your Crushing, Fire and Particle Damage. This increase scales with your Super Stats.
+ Increases your resistance to Crushing, Fire and Particle Damage. These resistances scale with your Super Stats.
+ Generate Energy when you hit more than one target with a ranged Crushing, Fire or Particle Damage attack (not counting DoT effects!). The amount of energy gained scales with your Ego or Strength, whichever is higher. This effect can occur once every 4 seconds.
Advantages
+ Rank 2 (2 AP)
+ Rank 3 (2 AP)
+ Unshakable (2 AP) - While having Demolition Expertise slotted, your Knock Resistance is increased with every stack of Enrage, Concentration or Focus, whichever you have more stacks of.
I made this power to be as versatile as Quarry. It goes not only with Munitions, but also with Gadgeteering, Power Armor, Heavy Weapons, Earth, Force and Fire. Basically everything that can go KABOOM in some way! :biggrin:
For Munitions that don't go KABOOM, I think Quarry is actually the best choice. Archery and Munitions should share it, imo. And Targeting Computer should be shared amonst all Technology power sets.
But, seriously, there should be a dual pistol skin option for Submachinegun Burst. Having a gun in each hand implies the ability to hit more than 1 target at a time.
A Munitions pet could be one of those remote controlled "mini-tanks" that many Infantry units use these days. But, I guess Muni-bots is so similar to that idea already.
How about a Munitions "Circle" power called Assemble Artillery. It's cast time is a bit long but it creates a howitzer or other piece of field artillery. like a cannon. It can't move but does great damage and it lowers your Dodge ability and damage resistance. If you move out of it's area, it goes away like Circles do.
Speaking of cannons, some Pirates in Lemuria have a cannon power that charges up and Knocks back. That would be neat to have.
good ideas, m8...
Might I suggest that it be a defensive passive... this game has way too many offensive passives and a lot of them suck :P We could use some more defensive passives. :P
Munitions is not exactly a defensive set... :redface:
So, because Nighthawk is supposedly a gadgeteer, and the strafing run was originally conceptualized as the Hawkwing strafing the target, it's stuck in Gadgeteer.
But anyway... let me +1 a rifle-based EB, a mortar system that's designed to be a Munitions counterpart to Orbital Cannon, a "riot shield" Blocking power that's particularly effective against AoEs, and some sort of "ranged offense" Slotted Passive.
Agreed. Especially dual pistols. 2 gun mojo, in particular, should have a diminishing chance past 50 feet to still hit and do damage, up to a 50% chance at 100 feet. Because you could argue "pistols are inaccurate at long ranges". I'd counter "If you can't hit a target at 100 feet, you have no right holding a gun", and "why is it that the *gun* set has an entire build scheme that has no 100 foot attack? Has cryptic ever used a gun?"
