team banter, causes the your team to stop fighting and just trade one-liners.

I can't find the text anymore but my highest ranked post on the old message boards had the click-bait title "Nerf Blasters!"

And then I proceeded to describe a Nerf Blast powerset where all the attacks did minor, foam-type damage. This included Nerf Boomerang which did minor damage to you as well.

Emote Macro Spam Aura

Cause everyone within range to pause, emote, and say something in character in relation to the ability they just activated every time they activate a power.

Some powerset with a lot of animation, sound and customized colors:
It's nickname: The lag generator powerset.
It might even cause the team to lose mapserver, but it looks awesome!

I thought that already existed with one of the powersets. I know made Storm Summoning all colorful for a short time and tried to get as many powers going at once for the one Controller I played. But I'm a noob when it comes to griefing.

Nature Summoning (if that's the name) did have a lot of powers you could spawn and keep going for a short while.

Tumbleweed: A former spines scrapper, the tumbleweed is the result of a failed spine burst, and now is known as nothing more than a poisoned spiky ball of death.

Eoraptor · « **Reply #54 on:** May 19, 2015, 08:48:47 PM »

heheh, that actually sounds like an interesting addition to the spines powerset, or the plant troller

Topic Derail, a Dom set which causes your team to completely lose track of what TF or mish they were doing and discus the latest movie instead.

This existed. Earth/Storm troller. On a good day, you could bring the screen to a screeching halt.

You're the second one to mention Storm. I'm glad I never chose it.

Storm was fun...just not (ducks preemptively) terribly useful in comparison to many other support sets. It had what I believe was the most powerful single target heal besides Absorb Pain, and a couple decent debuffs, but it just didnt have enough going for it besides looking really cool. I'm sure some people made it work for them, but for the jack of all trades powersets there were much better options.
