Savage does better aoe than spines, lol.

... Strong burst, actually. The build up completely bypasses exhaustion, and can be ignored entirely with proper stack management. Follow up is better than build up. It's sustain is better than a lot of sets due to having a very smooth aoe chain, but one cycle is still bursty. Four mediocre aoes vs two good ones.

Yet, martial, tw, SS, savage, claws, and axe don't make any such trade, and sets like db and katana are well rounded despite an ST focus.

And? You're saying this like spines is some top tier set that would break the game if it's main ST ability wasn't utterly gimped by an atrocious cast.

Whether the 'concern' is farmers, or an irrelevant excuse like "they aren't the same power technically" doesn't really serve anyone. @macskull I don't think it's strictly that, because they've used similar broken logic when it came to refusing to buff hurl/hurl boulder to be on par with the dom version too. Nobody is farming with stone melee.

By that metric, you'd think someone swinging a tree around might do more dps than a battle axe or a pair of wrist mounted blades. (TW is only top tier on pylons, before anyone corrects me.) Also, it's incorrect. Bows could very well have more punch than crossbows depending on various circumstances and comparisons, like what type of bow, what type of crossbow, and who's firing it. In a setting where even the 'natural' heroes and villains demonstrate above peak human strength, I could very easily see a bow being absolutely devastating. So tl;dr, it's best to just view the merits of the cosmetic change in and of itself and not getting wrapped in 'realism' unnecessarily.

I support this just because I'm someone heavily in favor of a wrist launcher alt anim set for trick and tac arrow.

Gotta love that selective logic.

Cobalt is the only dev who's opinion I'd want to hear.

GMs aren't devs, as based as that suggestion is.

As god intended.

Well, when I see the same group of people brigading threads until they inevitably get closed (which is a weird way to handle that, by the way.), and they're still there weeks to months later doing the same thing, one can't help but think nothing's being done about it. I'm sure you're all great people that hate sentinels just like any proud members of the community, but the moderation policies might need an update or two, because there's clearly a problem.

Oh no, it's fitting. Some people on these boards are in their 50s and have less social skills than a toddler. The real issue is that the authority figures do exactly nothing to solve the problem. They just ignore it, hope it blows over, and then we're back doing this song and dance again because nothing actually happens.

Yeah uh, this was kind of the problem. Greycat's protest thread got a response and the actual thread didn't, lol.

Oh, my bad, nevermind then.
