MrSnottyPants Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 My alt Water/Radiation Sentinel just reached 32 and took Geyser. Now I'm wondering if I should keep Water Burst. Geyser seems to do everything Water Burst does, but more so. Do folks find Water Burst continues to be useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbuzzard Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 In my view, you can't have too many AOEs. Well that's not true, I did drop whirlpool because it's bad for making AVs run. I kept and often use all the other 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelenCarnate Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 One has a 16 second recharge and the other is 90. Yes take them both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldskool Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 7 hours ago, Force Redux said: Water burst of love. Preach! Water Burst also is a sphere AoE so it has a higher target cap than Steam Spray which is a cone. I dropped Steam Spray from my build. It is a good power, but it was what I decided to drop in favor of other powers. As @drbuzzard says "you can't have too many AoEs" and that's true. At least until said AoEs may conflict with something else you want or how you like to play. 😉 Also, Water Burst is another Tidal spender that gains additional cold damage plus greater chance for knockup. I kept Whirlpool because it is integral to my play style and build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Redux Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Agreed @oldskool ; Cones are my least favorite attacks (I incarnated a Sonic Blast, among other things, so I've given them a good shot). Wide ones are decent (such as Steam Spray, which I found rather easy to aim and forgiving). But my favorite AoEs are Targeted ones. Water Burst is also visually appealing, but the Knockup is also useful. And it recharges fairly quickly. So much to like there. Its the 'perfect' TAOE in my humble opinion. @Force Redux on Everlasting ----- (read my guide) ----- Gather the Shadows: A Dark Miasma Primer for Masterminds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwitchFade Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Keep both. And steam spray. I have a 50 water /SR, and my attach chain utilizes Whirlpool, geyser, steam spray, water burst. Huge AoE. Fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun. 50 Water/WP/Leviathan here and my attack chain utilizes Whirlpool, Water Burst, Geyser and Bile Spray. If I hadn’t chosen Leviathan, I would be using Steam Spray. Playing CoX is it’s own reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
