Ravenbane Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Jump kick on my DM/WP scrapper main. I love that animation. Telekinesis on my Mind/Psy dom, too. I don't use it often because the max targets suck but it still is fun and I love it conceptually . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rejolt Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Ok, I need to ban myself from this thread after this as I keep throwing power changes I'd like with zero idea how to code: Jump kick should be a minor teleport/warp to target, Single-target knockdown, minor melee dmg power. If you leave it as is maybe give it 5 percent melee/smashing defense for 5 seconds after using. 1 Thanks for D-Sync Enhancements! Just wish things like Resist/End, Heal/End and Damage/Mez had a third stat that made them more viable. Suggestions - add Recharge to Ribosomes, Range to Golgis, and Slows to Peroxisomes. These changes would allow for an endurance cost/range, recharge/endurance, and slow/mez or slow/damage enhancements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draeth Darkstar Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Force Fields - the entire set. It's got a special place in my heart, it was my first 50 (Bots/FF) and I love it conceptually, but it is a terrible powerset. As far as individual powers go, Psionic Tornado is probably my #1. It's so cool looking. And so, so weak, especially for how long the animation is. One of the worst DPA AoEs in the game and yet it's my favorite. Demon Summoning's whip attacks because they look awesome but they're garbage due to Reasons, with an honorable mention for all the rest of Mastermind's personal attacks. The entire Mercenaries set. Bane Spiders as a whole. Kinetic Melee. Ice Control... Gosh, this game does still have a lot of old powersets that really need some love. 1 @Draeth Darkstar Virtue and Freedom Survivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejolt Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Absorb seems to fix everything in this game. Giving Ice Control and Force Field powers the ability to stack minor absorbs would be a nice step forward. However, the Trick arrow set was almost a complete revamp so more thought is getting put into these changes than just "Add X" like I'd probably do. Thanks for D-Sync Enhancements!

Now imagine a team of 5 AR/Dev blasters. Let's just say 60+ tripmines was a mildly successful counter-ambush. I did something like that on my AR/Dev Blaster recently. Had a tip mission where the enemies in the mission were friendly until a clickie was touched. There was a group right next to the clickie, so before I went to use it I dumped about 8 mines in that group. Once they became hostile it was a hell of a fireworks show. 2 2 Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

I've seen other games have recovery abilities. I don't think CoH can do that. Effects are binary. They either work or they don't. Champions Online tried this and good lord they rarely worked. Mashing the shift or whatever keys to get out of holds seemed to take the same amount regardless of your resistances. DCUO does have the ability to recover from knockback but they implemented a "matrix" float that lets you mash keys to breakout of it. Acrobatics is specifically there for knockback and knock up protection. I can't see giving that to Jump Kick. Edited February 9, 2021 by Rejolt Thanks for D-Sync Enhancements!

DreadShinobi Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 +1 fire breath. Very strong gap filler for an aoe attack chain. The animation damage is subpar but the total damage per activation is quite good, especially when you've blown your other higher dpa attacks, everything recharges during fire breath animation. I'll also add in shriek from sonic blast. Best t1 blast, underrated value for applying a quick res debuff. Most things dont live long enough for the shorter debuff duration to matter, the quick animation and projectile speed means youre debuffing the target before your ally finishes their headsplitter animation or whatever long animation heavy hitter theyre winding up. 2 Currently on fire.

KaizenSoze Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Fortunata's Psychic Tornado. A lot of people skip it.
