Luminara

Probably still having flashbacks to that time when Genghis Khan pwned their asses.

That's because the resolution is reduced in enhancement management. The game scales the graphical resolution down, but doesn't apply the same scaling to the bucket. I reported it... I don't remember when, it's been a while.

Martinets: "Play what I tell you or slot how I tell you, or I won't let you play with me. If I have to press W, or Tab, or use a power like Combat Teleport or an AoE Immob, I'll kick you." Everyone Else:

Here's a fun story that I've told before and am bored enough to tell again: Back on the original servers, someone started a thread about the "worst" defender primary/secondary pairing. Rad/Energy won. Everyone insisted that the two would work against each other, increase the number of deaths by infinity, blah blah blah. So I made one. Around the mid- or late-20's, someone sent me a /tell. A team was having trouble in a mission, they didn't have a defender. Yes, I played on teams in those days. Shut up, I'm in the middle of my story. I accept the invitation and hoof it to the mission door, go in, and after a few floors, find the team standing at the entrance to a room full of +4 Freakshow. They'd obviously made at least one failed attempt at clearing the room, because there were no spawns, just a mass of metal and stupid, standing still. It occurred to me, in that brief moment, that they invited me because they were looking for a "healer"... but Lumi don't play dat. Someone else might've bowed out, or gamely pressed on and smiled through the endless "Try to pull just one" bullshit while spamming Radiant Aura... but Lumi don't play dat either. Instead, I popped Accelerate Metabolism, waited a few seconds for someone else to man up, then, when no-one showed any gumption, ran straight into the room and went banana balls. Straight up psycho girlfriend breaking all of your shit crazy. Patience is not one of my virtues. KB for this group, KB for that group, KB FOR EVERYONE! You, have some RI! You, go eat the wall with your buddy! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?! BITCH, I SAID STAY DOWN! The rest of the team just stood there for a minute. I could actually see the looks of bewilderment on their painted doll faces. Which was a bit weird, but weird is normal for me. Another minute passed, and I stopped cleaning the walls with Freak faces long enough to suggest that they might find that the mission would go a bit faster if they moved out of the doorway and into the room, perhaps pressing a number key or two every few seconds? Everything was butter after that. Mission was completed in less than ten minutes, zero deaths, I went back to doing my own thing, pretty sure they all logged out and collapsed because they'd been stalled at that room for half the lifetime of the universe.

The duration of KB-imposed movement plus the length of time required to stand up again equates to a Hold of comparable duration, but works on more enemies than said Hold. Properly used, KB is the strongest control in the game. That's not what I would say to a nosy asscunt who tried to tell me how to slot or use my powers, but it is an accurate explanation of KB's mitigatory effects.

Yeah, it went downhill after they started forcing athletes to wear clothes. I miss the ancient Greek days.

The animation time before effect on some of the attacks is nearly as long as the full animation. Contrast the animation time before effect on Sky Splitter and Concentrated Strike. Both 3.036s, but Sky Splitter's animation time before effect is 1.1s and Concentrated Strike's is 2.533s. That's okay solo, but on teams, it's a corpse-blaster set.

This thread hasn't reached ostrich proportions yet. I have it waiting... watching.

There's a Ghostbuster in the second picture. Yes, it's a "technician", but look at him. He's wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back. Also, the Gunnster's skirting dangerously close to the "Aliens!" guy hairdo.

Spring Attack.

/interact

12 attacks, 7 AoEs, no Aim, a damage type that doesn't exist in the game, a power with a gimmick that all ranged attacks already use (homing), Confuse as a "debuff", and... pets in a blast set. Might need a bit of refinement.

Found a vid of a new power leaked from the closed beta server:

I can make sausage out of rectums. Let's see The Bieb do that.
