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 characterized by not excelling at anything. It's in-game descriptions says it best:

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.
