Robotech. I want to see Rick and Lisa bringing the romance to the screen! Thundercats, thought I'd love for them to just continue the 2011 series. That was a great reboot. Some older animes that could be fun is things like Gunsmith Cats.

The newest movie is only 4 years old.

This got me thinking... I can see adding the Fear Protection. Slow Protection. -Regen resist. Add these to Integration. Though, Fear Protection could just be put into Moment of Glory. Add some Defense All and +Recharge to Resilence. You're body is healthy! It keeps a good amount of adrenaline going, which helps keep you resilient. I'm not saying a huge amount in the defense. Small amount and enough to add in some IO options. Not sure we need the absorb, but tacking some on Reconstruction wouldn't be bad or a passive type equal to Preventive Medicine attached to Fast Healing. But, if not that, could just give Reconstruction a bit of Heal over Time like Time Manipulation's heal. So a good heal and then a small heal that last a bit of time.

WP has heightened Senses. That's how they avoid being blind.

Agreed on CS crit issue. Needs fixed too. No reason these t9's shouldn't crit.

I think we all know, it's not gonna surpass Violent Night as the go to Christmas movie. However, from what I've read it's basically turning Santa into a superhero movie.

I figured it might put it in line with the likes of Follow Up or Blinding Feint. Though, this was all just more thoughts on what to do.

For sure I think Focused Burst should be made to do Total Focus level damage. I get that FB has range but for a melee class I don't feel that means to much. My suggestion for Power Siphon being given a bit of PBAOE damage potential, is just because I don't think it should require a target (it doesn't now) and I can't imagine it would hit just one target otherwise. However, using it and it adds proc kicker could be good, as suggested, to help all the ATs, I believe was the idea there. CS getting a tiny animation shortening would help it as long as they don't touch anything else.

I had forgotten about CS. However, on my Scrapper, if I recall my testing, did better DPS with CS use than without, but I also don't recall it being a big difference (I'd have to go back to a post on it to double check). At the same time, I do know, I didn't use CS except on tough targets, because it just wasn't needed on the lower ranked enemies. I think a lowering of it's animation by just a bit would work.

Is there a reason you don't just get it to level 5 (or was it 6) and then it's just a yearly log in.

I agree the set is technically fine and playable. Had more than one Kinetic Melee and felt just fine. Doesn't mean it couldn't use a few tweeks. That said, last place sets will always be considered weak even if weak isn't all that weak. Using pylon times as an example, you have a difference of less than 43 seconds from top set to KM.

The proc ideas aren't bad imo. Still thought my idea for Power Siphon would work as it would leave the player open to still continuing to do damage as they activate it. But yes, I'm just trying to get Kinetic Melee up a couple of notches in terms of "It sucks" to "It's not bad" Not trying to get it to #1 status or anything. Also, while at it, feel good idea to make all attacks worth while. 🙂

And yes, I recall that, but it's -DMG seems so weak to not be noticeable.

If the idea is that you don't want it tied to Power Siphon because Stalkers don't get Power Siphon, they could still do something a bit similar. It'd last longer on non Stalkers, due to Power Siphon, but... Click Power Siphon/Build Up. For every stack of Power Siphon the Kinetic Melee attacks do a level of -Regen/-HP. Stalker version would give one buff of it, but thew others can build up to 5 stacks to lay down the debuff.

I'm trying to recall if it did any draining effect or if it was just flavor text for the power. If it did imbue your attacks with some sort of debuff, I don't recall it. However, it giving your attacks a Proc of -Regen or -HP or -Resist to feel like a Siphon ability could be a way to go too, besides just a +DMG and +ToHit Power.

First the original thoughts that I still believe need to be done for the set... Focused Burst ... Needs to be taken to Total Focus level of damage. It's a limited range blast on a melee AT. It's likely to be used in melee more than just as a strictly range attack. So up the damage! Maybe give it a hold aspect as well! Make this an attack worth taking for everyone! Repulsing Torrent ... I think if it did more damage it might get taken more often, as more damage may make up for those who feel it needs a KB to KD IO in it. However, this is the least worry imo. Still useable as a defense power for those mobs that can actually be knocked around. HOWEVER this post is really about a thought I had for Power Siphon. Give it a PBAOE damage effect! This is a 2.112 second animation. That's 2.112 seconds of no damage! Build Ups are usually 1.32 seconds. Not to mention it always felt a little like a Blinding Feint and Follow Up style ability. So, a little damage in there as you cast it, to keep the dps going. Not saying make it Burst level of damage, but it's something to help the Scrappers/Tankers/Brutes with Kinetic Melee.

You know...the fans that don't want to have things just left hanging? 😛

I dunno. Eternals had it's artsy stuff and it's everyone has wanted to beat up the white straight male character all their lives, for no known reason, before they ever knew he was sticking to the plan. Lots going on with that movie. Thunderbolts looks to be CA: tWS with a bit bigger cast perhaps. We'll have to wait and see.

No doubt there, but I do think a good movie will bring in the people. GotG were nobodies and did great in theaters. Eternals had lots of issues, it did not. Though, going by your own comment, Winter Soldier is Bucky, so wouldn't he be an original character, since he was Captain America's sidekick?

To be fair, nothing usually does and X-Men and Avengers are usually under things like Spider-Man (Peter Parker...as honestly Miles doesn't sell that well except on issue ones) and Avenger's are usually under X-Men. If I recall correctly, even when Marvel was trying to kill the X-Men franchise because FOX owned the movie rights, they couldn't even do that. Also, Avenger's whole original gimmick was taking B, C and D listers and teaming them up.

I thought both the Captain America and the Thunderbolts trailers looked like fun movies.

Though bad press can hurt a fun movie. The Marvels was a fun movie. I'd say bad press on the part of it's lead didn't help it.

Movie may allow us to see the awesome Moon Knight a bit more, but I hate to lose out on a second season.

Agreed! And I love Gen-13! ❤️

Watching X-Men 97, Rogue made Super Strength look pretty scrappy.
