compilation Power Concepts: Compilation (Ranged)

[Zepp]

Ranged

Ranged is a powerset currently available to Blasters, Defenders, Sentinels, and Corruptors that uses ranged attacks. This thread is designed as a compilation of proposed Ranged powersets. I will do my best to go through the entire forum to find all Ranged powersets, however if I do miss one (or not describe one as you like) let me know.

 

Rock Blast (2019.08.13.11.09.01): It is all about the Power of Rock!!!

 

Vorpal Blast (2019.08.19.10.39.01): I know, Vorpal means extremely sharp, but in CoH it means teleportation attacks!

 

Power Armor (2019.10.07.17.57.01): "I build neat stuff, got a great girl, occasionally save the world. So why can't I sleep?"

 

Note: I will also be doing a compilation for other types of powersets, but am doing them one at a time to keep the sets manageable.

 

Note: FF2222 is the color I am using for Ranged.

 

Note: Have currently reviewed up to August, will continue later.

Honestly a Shotgun or Single Pistol power set could give more options for those who want to use a gun that isn't Dual Pistols or Assault Rifle. But other types of different powers would be interesting.

Powerset proliferation demands throwing weapons.  Axes should be thrown.  Maces should be thrown. 

 

Thrown small, bouncing weapon.  Boomernangs, throwing stars, and round sharp discs should be thrown by warrior princesses could all be skinned as a small thrown attack.

 

Shaped cartoony energy.  I shape my force power into a boxing glove, or a baseball bat, or a bowling ball and hurl that at my foe.

 

Lasers and light.  Let the players have blindness abilities.

 

Gas.  Chemicals that poison, blind, suffocate, heal, etc.  The attack version of Poison.

 

Rockets and missiles.  Let the mech characters fire off single target, exploding, and whole racks of spiraling rockets.

Okay if we are pie in the sky dreaming.

I always imagined a Propel / Trash Can inspired ranged set.

Fruit, vegtables, garbage, small animals.

 

Something like: The fruit attack could randomize type of fruit. Tomatoes could have a secondary -tohit.

Just to clarify, ideas listed in this thread are from members of the community, these are not my suggestions (except when they are) and this is purely a thread designed to compile all community ideas into one place.

Also, while thrown weapons would be cool, there are limitations to animations making it extremely difficult to have a customizable thrown weapon.
