That Ninja Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 This was an idea I thought of while looking over Sentinel powers during creation. How about an assault powerset that goes for the "two-fisted tales" feeling by mixing either martial arts or street justice with dual pistols or perhaps use the old "single handgun firing" animation for the pistol attacks if it lines up better with the melee animations? 3

Megajoule Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Dual Pistols/Martial Combat blaster. Really, folks. We don't need new powersets for every single concept. 1 1
Itikar Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Adding some alternative animations for martial assault moves would definitely not hurt. Right now martial arts, the melee attack set, already has several more brawler-style alternative animations. Most people ignore them because at that point you can take street justice or the fighting pool, but they are definitely there. I am all for extending alternative animations to powersets that could really benefit from them so that they could service new concepts. 2

Flashtoo Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) No actually this is brilliant and I love it, +1. Yes, we can have a pistol-slinging boxer already, but Chance and Ninja are absolutely right in that Dual Pistols and its 'gun fu' animations are 100% inappropriate for this: It would be much more on-brand to use the pistol animations from the Thugs mastermind set. That wouldn't be viable for an entire blast set as they'd get pretty samey - how many non-fancy-flourish pistol attacks can there be? - but in an assault set, where at least half of the powers don't use them, it might fly. On top of that, this would be opening up that concept to be paired with a Control set as primary which is mechanically not something that can presently be done.

Varkarrus Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 TBH this is why I kinda think assault powersets should be split in two, let people choose ranged powers from one assault powersets and melee powers from another.
Flashtoo Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Yeah that's not going to be a viable thing; no heckin' way will the code allow an AT to have three choosable AT power sets, not to mention it'd be hell to balance. 2 Character portrait artist for hire, PM for details!

Murcielago Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 You can only get Pulp Assault if it comes with a BAMF wallet.

I like this idea a lot, but I imagine there may be balance concerns that get in the way. On 10/13/2019 at 10:04 AM, Murcielago said: You can only get Pulp Assault if it comes with a BAMF wallet.
