Well, we're not talking about a defender or a corruptor here, an archetype which might use it more as a debuff tool than an enabler for their other attacks. We're talking about sentinels. Damage dealers. You're going to attack after dropping Storm Cell, not slink to the back of the group and hide, so it is going to deal damage. Citing conditionals is utterly irrelevant in this context. You are going to attack, so it is going to deal damage. Even if you don't want it to deal damage, it will. So it does qualify as a damage dealing power from a developmental perspective. The fact that it will continue to deal damage even after you stop attacking, and even if you move away from it, reinforces that. No-one in the powers department is going to look at this thread and think, "Yeah, we should totally increase the range on that long duration mobile rain power because it's actually a debuff in disguise."

Good to see that he wore traditional Chinese clothing, moved out of Canada and issued his complaints in his native tongue, so it was clear that he wasn't just trying to stir up a bunch of shit to get attention. Oh, wait...

What happened to Simu Liu? Goog says he's not dead and there's nothing coming up about a scandal.

Last time I looked, sentinels had scrapper-quality damage mitigation and could easily handle being attacked while using powers, so they don't actually "need" a longer range on anything. Also last time I looked, Storm Cell dealt damage, and that's very likely to keep it in the 40' base range camp.

Sony: "We're going to make movies with Spider-man's rogues gallery" Everyone: "Sounds good." Sony: "Big budgets. Big." Everyone: "Even better." Sony: "Without Spider-man." Everyone: "What?" Sony: "We were in the movie theaters with someone's mom researching movies right before she died." Everyone: "..." Sony: "..."

No, vampires are neck romancers.

Is that the one where he got really old? That's the only pre-MCU Cap film I remember watching, the one with Captain Oldmerica.

You've been snogging temnix, haven't you.

I didn't even notice that these boots had a trail until I saw this thread, but that's because I fly in the Hover stance (Hover's pose overrides Fly's pose), which places the FX at the bottom of the screen. Might be a workaround for you.

That's what she said.

*gives @Jacke cramps*

You've been snogging Diantane, haven't you.

In-set rezzes could make coffee and provide oral sex and I still wouldn't waste a power selection on them when I can get five rez options for free.

Tso is sow, as in the female pig. The T is completely silent in this word. Tube Ji or Tube Chi. But just call him Shining Son. That's what it means.

It means you've been spelling Tub Ci wrong.

Dananshan (most common) pronunciation of the ts consonant is the zh sound, which itself sounds like sh, so it would sound like "shoe". Other dialects pronounce it the way it's spelled, ts. Properly, it's spelled txo, which is pronounced shoe or tsoo (dependent on dialect (there are... fifteen, i think)). Tsoo is the standardized English spelling. And it means crash.

Wouldn't actually help much. Proc activation looks at the base recharge time, enhanced recharge time, area factor, activation time and... I forget what else. Enhanced recharge time does reduce proc chances, but not as much as the other aspects of the power. A quick look at the sentinel T1 attacks shows that most have an unmodified proc rate of 29% with a standard 3.5 PPM proc. The 4s base recharge time, coupled with the 1.188s activation time, is why. Slotting a single level 50 RchgRdx IO only drops them to 22%, so spending a slot on a "negative Recharge" enhancement (which couldn't simply be a tweaked Slow enhancement, because being Slowed doesn't actually affect proc rates in any way) would, at best, only bring you back up to that same 29%. Spending that same slot on another proc, however, gives you another 22% proc chance (assuming the same 42.4% slotted RchgRdx), which is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than anything you could regain from the "negative Recharge" enhancement. Really, in any power where you could slot the proposed enhancement, you'd be better served just using another proc. This "negative Recharge" enhancement would just be a newb trap.

This isn't making me think "impact", it's making me think "Jesus, sharpen that thing, it's duller than a countertop."

If you want people to read everything you write, make everything you write worth reading.

There were, but the catgirls ate all of them.

I've never teamed with @Snarky. I've also never had a bad pick-up group experience on the HC servers. The fact that I play on a different shard and haven't joined any pick-up groups at all is irrelevant. The data doesn't lie.
