Overview

Willpower is one of the powersets to come. It is a Scrapper secondary power set and a Tanker primary set in City of Heroes, and a Stalker and Brute secondary powerset in City of Villains. It is set to come out with issue 11.

According to the devs, the set relies heavilly on passive powers, with little in the way of flashy animations, to represent the stereotypical "tough guy". The set offers decent smashing, lethal, psi and toxic resists, and poor resistance but decent defense to fire, cold, energy and negative energy. Tankers and Brutes have a taunt aura called "Rise to the Challenge" that raises regeneration for every enemy in melee.

A video of this set in action is available from the Official movie page! quick copy/paste from invul. update as needed.

Overview

Willpower is a Resistance powerset. It is available to all four melee Archetypes, primary for Tankers, secondary for Scrappers, Brutes, and Stalkers.

You aren't Invulnerable. Bullets don't bounce off of you, and if you are cut, you bleed. You are, however, tough, grizzled and strong willed. It takes more than a little cut to keep you down! Willpower offers a strong balance of healing, damage resistance and defense. While you have no real vulnerabilities, you can't quite deal with 'alpha strikes' as well as some other protective powers.

Willpower RiseToTheChallenge.png Rise to the Challenge

The more the odds are against you, the more determined you become. When surrounded by foes, your ability to regenerate health increases greatly. Additionally, your resolve and the look in your eye is enough to leave most foes shaken, so their attacks are less accurate. The first foe you engage in melee grants the highest regeneration bonus, and up to 10 foes can contribute to this effect.
