I added Cross Punch to the mix. You become an AoE wrecking ball.

Without the converter it is, as you noted, not a great match. I have a character from some years back where I had both Repulsing and Energy Torrent setup to knock foes down. Eventually KM's issues caused me to drop the character. I should be thrilled that the set is getting addressed, but I've reached the point where the animations bother me.

Use a KB->KD IO in it. Makes it quite useful.

Jumped the test character to level 30 and slotted him with basic IOs in the same fashion I typically do at that point. Trying out how things handle by street-sweeping in Brickstown. I did take Cross Punch and it is very handy having three AoE attacks, which between them can either put foes on their butts or stun them. Find a group, zip in and Foot Stomp, while foes are standing up, Cross Punch, and then once they are up, Hand Clap. Toss a few single-target attacks to finish off what is weak, then rinse and repeat.

Arguably the click version costing only 0.0867 end/sec (once enough recharge reduction is in place, so it is up every 2 minutes) as opposed to 0.26 end/sec is meaningful.

Ahhh. Oddly enough, my first use of SS, back on Live, was an SS/EA character.

Apparently Spiderman trained with Shang-Chi.

As Brutes have had Super Strength from when they were introduced, I'm guessing your referring to Unleashed Might instead of Rage?

Both martial gods, one the god of strength in his pantheon, both with thousands of years of combat experience: There is also the recent arc in Superman where he is enslaved and held powerless on War World by Mongul and made to fight--something he would have lost without martial training. Wonder Woman can go up against Superman and was raised and trained on an island of warrior women. The notion that super strength implies a lack of martial training is absurd.

Spiderman is known to have caught cars thrown at him and here is an uppercut:

Yes, Rogue, Thor, Wonderman, The Thing, Wonder Woman, Timer Wolf...don't know how to fight. 🙄

I used to oppose proliferating every powerset to every AT, but that ship has long since sailed and seems determined to stop at every port. Still, a word of warning to those awaiting SS being ported (it really should happen). Below is what happens when Crushing Uppercut is used (admittedly from stealth) and the npc gets a crit. Knockout Blow is going to be just about as friendly to be on the receiving end of when running the Protean arc.

Testing at level 20 SS/SR Brute, running as I usually do at that level without enhancements, and making use of Unleashed Might. Hand Clap is enough to make me seriously consider dropping Cross Punch, which has been my filler, AoE attack when using Super Strength to this point. A total joy taking down a group of 3 orange Tsoo and not losing half my health. Two red warriors were worth about half my health and maybe 60% of endurance. Enjoyable so far.

Yes, Invulnerability and Bio are both going to get whacked by this supposed, "equitable" dealing. Well, I am sure that someone will come along to explain how this is "equitable". 🙄

I am pretty sure you are confused here.
