Hi guys
Something I have been thinking off and on for a few months.. iirc couple of years ago, I saw a few requests for boosts to the 5th Beatle of powersets.. the 'Iconic Powerset', then we got the Solar Amplifier Artifact, I got it to gold this year on Fire Sigma.
I also use 'Freeze Breath' on Ice Sigma, which first made me notice, there is no artifact for freeze breath..
This was just a fun idea I had kicking around my heart/head..
Movement Artifacts one for each movement mode.. well skimming is a skin of flying so I guess 3?*
An Iconic Artifact for each non-SC Iconic power. The SC ones have the Soul Cloak artifact already.
We could have many choices, Iconic, Mixed, Specific, a movement mode artifact, a Iconic artifact and then the Soul Cloak and you would be covered or be specific with movement + 2 Iconic artifacts (Canary/Gadgets).. Or go all out Kryptonian Movement + 2 Iconic artifacts or 3 Iconic artifacts.
The Iconic Pet could be another thing entirely please see here:
Sonic Cry and Sonic Shout could be the same artifact. Same with Batarang and Gag Glove. I would pretty much clone the Solar Amplifier complete with a gold bonus of tactical empowerment. Same for a Movement mode artifact.
Hardlight Shield artifact could be a 'Strange Depowered Lantern Ring'.. expanding what the shield can do, lvl 80 = Shield + 1 person, 120 shield + 2, 160 shield + 3, 200 = shield + 5.. and as a bonus when made gold (160) it powers up and gives us a ring that we can change colour of (cosmetic only, based on the Phantom Lantern). The artifact deposits a style item in our inventory, not white or black lantern, but all other ring colors (you can only use one at a time, accessory, goes on opposite hand if player is already a lantern, shield and ring color always match*).
The Amazonian lasso and deflection are both Tank powers so I suggest one artifact for both that increases aggro.
I would make innate abilities artifacts work in tandem with the non-innate iconic ones.. like;
Super-Strength Iconic is innate so if its artifact is used with Solar Amplifier Or Freeze Breath it could give increased Kryptonian abilities.. like off the top of my head.. level 80 = Ultra Sonic Flight (as fast as Jet Assisted Glide), 120 = Ultra Superhero landing (when 'smash' landing cause significant damage to all enemies and knock them back), 160 = 5% Health regeneration while in sunlight even in combat, 200 = Summon Krypto to fight alongside you.
For the innate Stealth Iconic, I would include this as part of the Batarang and Gag Glove artifact increasing damage on each marquee level. Like 'while in stealth if Batarang/Gag glove is used critical hit chance increased ?%+ damage ?%'.. I'm basically trying to match Surprised Attack/Pain Blast. One caveat being Natures 'Sneak' as you cannot change the loadout of Canine Form and a dog throwing batarangs would be strange.. Gag Glove might work though.
Lastly, it would be nice if we imprint an armory with only iconic powers in the tray, that the armory come up with 'Power: Iconic' or say 'Power: Gadgets/Iconic'.
What do you guys think.. would this be fun? :)

*(I've never went skimming so I don't know what the skimming skill page looks like)
*The RP being the Ring is broken and can only make shields. You get 7 ring colors as a accessory and can only use one at a time, shield color being linked, only when you take the ring accessory off does it let you manually control the shield color.
