Yeah. I don't see why we can't have Stone Melee now.

Of those two, I'd suggest SR. Stalkers do get great AOE def from hide, so stalkers don't have scrapper's late blooming issue with the set.

Hahahahahahaha

/jranger has refused your duel request.

Would be kind of epic if you could edit the way your Granite form looked from a large number of models with texture and color choices. Oh Well, that kind of thing isn't likely to happen. Doesn't make any sense that when you turn into a giant Stone Monster your damage goes down either. Slower? Sure. Weaker? Huh?

Oh, But it looks so ugly outside of granite. Plus it would need buffed. I'm not actually sure Stone outside of Granite is better than Regen. Of course. You COULD buff it, since it would literally not affect the Granite users at all with it being an exclusive toggle. But carry on, was just an idea.

It had status protection already. But thanks. I missed the curb jumping part of this change. My suggestion on Granite wasn't to weaken it, but instead to end the bipolar nature of the set. Low levels its one kind of set, high levels its a Granite based set. I figured make it granite based 1 to 50, so it plays the same throughout.

Can you jump a curb yet?

Maybe Granite should be the Tier 1 Weakened of course. Then most of the other powers could be passive additions to bring Granite up to its amazing level. That and give Granite a min jump height. Cause da'am.

Once this thread fades away, someone remember to Necropost it about a year from now. The title irony would be epic. Empathy is good for people who do a lot of exemplaring. But at 50 people usually do not need direct heals. A lot of people are softcapped. A lot of people are spamming maneuvers. Making everyone /SR.

The world may never know.

SS would be pretty weak if a direct port with Build up instead of Rage. Jab and Punch have some horrible DPA due to their low recharge. Haymaker is too stellar either. If you made Jab say 4 seconds, punch 8 seconds and Haymaker 12 seconds perhaps. Then you could switch to build up potentially. It would look a lot more like Stone Melee.

These definitely belong somewhere in the Kheld Dwarf powers. Its a conceptual slam dunk, plus it would help them stand out instead of just being a sort of 3rd string Tank.

3. I asked the Owl

For Confront I was suggesting that it Taunt 1 Enemy, But Debuff the range on AOE targets - Making it as good as the taunt power for Range debuffing For Placate I was suggesting that it placate as it does now, but also debuff the range on AOE targets. A faster animation would also be nice. Just use the confront one maybe.

The XX thing to make a Distaff clone is already an established trope in SCI FI. Most famous probably being X23 the distaff clone of Wolverine due to "Damage to the Y chromosome, so we copied the X" And I don't think Marvel originated the idea. Kind of depends on if these deviations are as unintentional as it seems on the surface. And perhaps since they never saw her as a viable combat unit they didn't bother with the inhibiter implant. Does her not having accelerate age not also make her roughly the same age as Boba? Or at least within a few years of Boba Seems a weird thing for a clone named "Omega", since presumably they kept making clones during the war as long as they could. But her age would make her a middle pack clone at the youngest? I'm not sure we know that Regs are viable now, that convo made me wonder if they are not. Plus we don't see any kid clones ala Attack of the Clones. (Other than Omega) The degradation is presumably due to the number of clones they needed to create. Which still seems a ridiculously low number, But Sci Fi writes have no sense of scale. Not sure they need to worry about the Madalorian here though. Also we don't know how fast the clones age after reaching adulthood exactly. We just know some early war clones have gray beards and hair by the time of Rebels. There are is a lot of Story Potential related to a rapidly aging tween-teen girl being raised by the equivalent of a bunch of space bachelors. That and as she got older it might make her more useful to their mercenary affiliated rebel type life who knows. Cartoons (like comics) do seem to get away with the insanely irresponsible caretaking of children by exposing them to combat situations and the like, so I guess the non aging version is possible as well.

I don't get that that all. I think she was pretty much the same as "The Bad Batch" She is a deviation. And her being a female was unintentional. She has never had a room, implying she isn't really that old. Somehow the bad batch clones, who were actually among those barracked on Kamino never saw her. Even though it was implied they have been wounded before (often) The Kamino were hopeful she would be a success in that they let her go, yeah, but she really isn't their hoped for solution. They are looking for earlier more Jango material. Is it possible that Omega refers to her being from the last batch up to this point, and that they haven't had any viable subsequent batches since they had been degrading, and is thus a fairly recent clone. Giving her normal human development time makes her more "special" I guess. But to what end? It would take longer to get results. I suppose we will see. I guess it depends on if they want to do the entire show with her approximately 9 years old (my guess on her current age), or with every season her noticeably older. Being a teenager by say Season 3.

When the evil klowns primary comes ...

I hadnt intended to be sarcastic. Slow animations, no balance changes, a fairly weak secondary effect, redraw and the rest. It seems like a relic, lagging behind the times.

Yeah, Spines definitely is a lagging set.

Leave Confront and Placate Single Target effect, just like now. But ADD the -Range effect from Tanker/Brute Taunt to both powers, AOE effect exactly like Taunt. Done.

that's how I've always thought it should be as well. Plus Supras used to be awesome.

Interesting. Didn't you say the scrapper and brute had different Incarnates? Also we may need to think of things as a spectrum where not all sets and combos are going to really jive all the time. Claws for example benefits Scrappers and Tankers more than Brutes, since Brutes have much lower Damage Scale, and one of Claws big perks is being able to run followup and double followup alot of the time. Bio is like that too. Shield is Damage wise but the Brute is going to get more from the mitigation probably since you can definitely get over 75% S/L resist.

Maybe? The Game is too easy after all. I mean I imagine some Blasters can beat them. Or many Scrappers. Not the Tank God style ITF though, Those seem to the the province of Tankers, and some really skilled players with some badass non tank combos. Maybe that Invul Brute, that would be pretty solid on a ITF after all.

You could also argue that Scrapper survivability is too close to Brute Survivability considering their DPS advantage. Sure there are some sets where Brutes have an edge. Invul seems it would be one since you could easily Softcap S/L Resist on the Brute and not the Scrapper. But that's just one set that happens to specialize in S/L resistance.
