Remove Criticals for Stalkers and VEATs

[Vanden]

Scrappers do Critical hits, not Stalkers or VEATs. Instead, when they do their extra damage from Hidden or at random, have the floating message say "Sneak Attack."

[Lazarillo]

There's honestly too many weird, specific float texts as it is.

[RubyRed]

This is an oddly specific thing to nitpick

[Indystruck]

I don't think we need more pop texts to say ultimately the same thing.

This change does not increase the number of floaty texts, it only diversifies them! 😁

Actually, the text that'd be better is "Precision damage"

And yet..not enough. I wish the Dom ATO would have a text popup, and the brute ones (which are really hard to see, unless you look at combat atts).

I admit, part of me wants the Haley Starshine battlecry for my stalker.

I see where your heart is but conceptually and mechanically, Sneak Attack = Assassin's Strike.

 

My other hits that turn out criticals are conceptually being very accurate or ignoring a foe's protections, i.e. the a critical HIT.

 

I wouldn't disagree with changing Scrappers' to critical STRIKE as I conceptualize Scrappers' criticals being just using overwhelming power.

Remove Stalkers, buff Concealment pool.

I'm still waiting for "one of them to say FREEEM!"

VEATs minicrit only from hide/placate

Stalkers have less base damage than scrappers

 

just roll brutes bro scrappers had their time in issue 1-5 but the torch has been passed for like 13 or 14 years

Or just roll what you want with whatever mechanic you like.

Brawl had an "upgrade" where it would do Boom, Pow, had something like mag 42 knock-back, and would occasionally have random effects like casting torrent and going "Freem" or "Surprise" and hitting the enemy with a car.

 

STALKERS NEED CAR MELEE!

[Greycat]

You forgot one. "Oops," which also knocked *you* back. Got that one twice. 😄

I read the title and thought that you literally meant removing the ability to crit from Stalkers and VEATs...I was like, "Vanden, really? I'm about to pick up Jack Emmert and sling him all over you, man!" Then I realized you only meant the pop up!  😄

New plan, all ATs can crit and give scrappers a new thing

Wait, what?  Since when did it hit the enemy with a CAR?  I played a good bit with several toons Brawling the crap out of stuff during that bit, and I never saw a car.  The "surprise" bit was always launching them away and then popping them with some kind of firecracker (distinctly different from the Freem Power Torrent blast).

I got two cars. I guess it was kind of rare, but I had multiple character that used brawl in the standard attack chain at the time.
