Biff Pow

The power I would delete from Super Strength is Jab. It's fine as a filler attack, but just isn't fun or "super". Move Punch to the first attack (with a regular punch animation), Haymaker to the second spot (with Punch's one-armed smash animation) and add "Smash" as a third power (two handed Haymaker but it's a small cone attack.) Then you can leave Handclap as no damage (it's good to have powers that some might see as skippable, for variety.)

The thing about pylons and whatever is you can't quantify fun. Imagine if Rage gave you 10x damage for one minute and zero damage for one minute, that's a lot of damage but no fun. Watching for the Rage crash and for it to end, while not a big deal really, is just no fun. There's no number with that data, it's just a feeling.

I would get rid of the damage and defense crash entirely and increase the endurance drop. Enough that if you run Rage and Hasten together you'll have major endurance problems because you're kind of asking for it.

Just legacy. It's hard to make major changes in a twenty year old game. It's why in the past I've suggested a new "Mighty Melee" set and leave Super Strength as is for the double-stacked diehards. But the Unleashed Might toggle was a clever workaround, sort of creating a new set while leaving Rage (mostly) as is.

I thought Unleashed Might was fine on Tanks. Damage seemed a little below Rage but Hand Clap more than made up for that.

I liked Unleashed Might. I'm curious what you thought the problem was.

Christmas is cancelled

Unleashed Might makes the Super Strength attacks better than the Fighting Pool, you don't really need Cross Punch at all with the new Handclap. With Rage, nothing's changed.

This update also boosts Brutes' resists a bit.

Some Blaster secondaries have protection versus certain mez types. Energy Manipulation has Stun protection which is really useful.

There are times while leveling up, pre-final build, that Unstoppable is useful when you're getting endurance drained or majorly debuffed,

This is just a patch note clarification but Unstoppable is currently 180 seconds, not 120. But that also might be an argument for a reduction to 60 seconds instead of 40?

Stalkers and Scrappers don't get Super Strength. And Brute's defensive numbers get a buff in this update.

How do we quantify that the changes are actually unpopular? How many players usually skip the T9s? If they end up getting used that's a positive.

I'm all for reduced T9s that we would actually use, but it is a little weird to have shorter durations than the Origin Pool click defenses.

This is a focused feedback thread. Has anyone actually playtested the new Rage and felt the crash is much harsher?

Loving the Unleashed Might toggle. Handclap info still says 30 second recharge on the Enhancement screen, and says 5.19 knock on the detailed info (which I assume should be lower now that it's knockdown?)

Wow, lots of presents this Christmas.

Offense first, Accuracy and Damage is way more effective than a small increase in Resist/Defense. My one exception is a high value power like Temp Invulnerability (30% Resist S/L) where some enhancement will be noticeable.

One of those situations where Psi attacks are really satisfying (also: Shock Treatment.)

Surprised he's lived that long the way he charges groups of enemies and immediately gets defeated.

The perfect city zone doesn't exi-

Time for a Beast Mastery epic pool for melee ATs! Or maybe a "Ranger" epic pool that mixes Archery and beast powers.

I don't know what you've paired Super Strength with, but if it's Invulnerability, put the Chance for Buildup in Invincibility. It fires off a lot when you have a crowd of enemies around you.

I've almost created a character named Saturday Knight a few times but could never decide on a costume.
