What? No, that’s not what I said.

The animation of Tombstone Fast Snipe doesn't seem to be correctly aligned with the damage.

this was in Stop Nocturne's Escape! from Jim Temblor I was playing on a Blaster with the new Seismic/Earth powers. After I defeated her Night Widow Nocturne called for Medical Teleport, but it did not visually happen. In this case, I had not yet defeated the Submersible escape vehicle, so the mission was not yet complete when this visual occurred.

I think we should be able to do David Wincott at level 1 or maybe 2. The Hollows is great content and I think being able to start it right upon exiting the tutorial or maybe even upon character creation would help make it a more accessible place for lowbie levelling.

Something to add: When you fall out of the sky the sound effect when landing is the same as the sound effect for landing a jump of a few feet. There could be a bigger boom from a higher fall! Something to remove: When you exit a mission on your Mastermind and are deafened by the sound of all your pets upgrading at once!

what a bummer for them

no, you did not explain. You ASSERTED and did not support with evidence, and you continue to ignore pieces of evidence you have been presented with.

if you’re fighting easy mobs, sure. Not in challenging content.

blizzard makes hundreds of separate hit checks. Meteor makes one.

Blizzard takes place over 15 seconds. This hits all at once.

it does the same damage as most nukes, with the advantage of no LoS, can be used for mob positioning, and the sets mechanic means it will recharge in less time than most similar nukes. I think you’re looking at one statistic, recharge, in isolation, and missing the overall picture.

but then it can’t be used out of LoS.

bonfire does it repeatedly with not much damage, this does it Once with a ton of damage, but that’s a good point.

First, the set comes with a recharge reduction mechanic. The power does have a unique special effect: it knocks back from a location of your choosing. No other power in the game does that.

I don't have a problem with the new design concept we see in Electric getting special benefit being paired with Electric or Seismic being paired with Earth. But it would be very cool if there other little perks like that from NON matched sets in some cases. Like, for example, if having Assault Rifle and Atomic Manipulation gave Radiation to your AR attacks somehow..."synergies" are very cool.

wow ok then pretty awesome

Seismic Blast attacks seem to continue to reduce the cooldown of other Seismic Blast attacks even after you have achieved Seismic Shockwaves, though more stacks of Seismic Pressure do not appear. Is this the correct behavior? It sort of feels like a bug, but I can't quite tell.

I'm sorry I didn't get to test Seismic Blast more in Beta. There seem to be some bugs in the buff display, the seismic pressure stacks don't always appear. I'm not certain, but I sort of think the chance for knockdown in the aura effect is not high enough. I can't depend on guys near me getting knocked down. I don't think the shockwaves can be color customized unfortunately. That said, it seems like the powers are all working correctly, the animations are different and creative, the set has a unique visual style. The damage is good, so far.

It would be nice if Blasters got the No Weapon option for the Heavy Mallet. (And of course I support the addition of No Weapon options for Fire and Ice Swords as well...if you can figure out a way to do it that makes sense)

The screen shake on the Seismic Blast knockdown aura is now at an appropriate level I think, but perhaps the sounds are still a bit much...see what others think.

New drinking game: everybody drinks when the kitchen sink appears.

yes the powers work differently for mobs and players

I understand your frustration with this change, but it does seem like your very good advice to the other poster about popping Yellows or using a pool power or something applies pretty much equally to this. Pop a break free, use RoP, Clarion, boost up your defense, etc. I believe the power is supposed to be balanced against tier 3 attacks like Power Burst or Bitter Ice Blast, not against Pets like Gun Drone, since it can't be killed.

Support Sets with Ally or Self and Ally +Per or Enemy -Stealth : Empathy, Sonic Resonance, Storm Summoning, Cold Domination, Pain Domination, Time Manipulation Also a couple Blaster and Dominator Secondaries. There are also now 2 different +Per IOs.

imo these are good changes. Crey was too easy in the high levels. COUNCIL WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!
