dtjunkie Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 What are your favorite powers to use back to back in terms of animation? My favorite is Heavy Mallet followed by Stone Mallet from Stone Melee. When your foe is hit by Heavy Mallet they are knocked up into the air and then land on their back, at which point you use Stone Mallet, which looks like you are then pounding them into the ground. A close second is using lift from Gravity Control and following it up with Force Bolt from Force Field. I love tossing Hellions straight up into the air with Lift, and then seeing how far I can knock them back with Force Bolt while they are still airborne.

InvaderStych Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Ki-Push -> <Any Blast> <or> Storm Kick (gotta be fast) <or> Burst of Speed (wait a beat for best results). Bonus Points: Ki Push -> Combat Teleport (targeted macro) -> Ki push -> Combat Teleport -> <<Repeat>> though that one is just a stupid mini-game. 😛 Burst of Speed -> Combat Teleport (<shift>-<W,A,S, or D> as appropriate) -> Vorpal Judgement.

A Cat Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Soaring Dragon and Golden Dragonfly for the same reason as OP. Especially combat TPing there and executing that combo. Totally sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumphant Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Most anything with knockback/knockup. Knockdown isn't as exciting to me. Mighty Judgement with knockup. Most of the dual blades animations look very cool. Beam rifle and energy blast looks very cool. Dark themed animations with the noir theme selected. Shield Charge. Crystal and Magma effects from earth control. Most all of the savage attack animations. There are tons of great animations in this game. It's kind of hard to choose, really. Of course, there are some pretty cheesy-looking ones, too (although what looks good and what looks cheesy is entirely subjective, I suppose).

Ki Push > Eagle's Claw syncs perfectly. Ki Push's knockback applies right when the kick from Eagle's Claw "lands." One I'm fond of is the alternate animation for KO Blow with Shield Defense. The animation makes it look like you're slamming your foe with your shield hard enough to toss them into the air. It works with Radiation Siphon too I guess, but RS lack's KO Blow's knockup giving it less impact.

This is the combo that popped into my head when I saw the thread title, although I use it on an earth assault dominator. When it finishes off an opponent (which is usually), I call it "Get down and stay down". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarillo Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 My /Titan Weapons tanker uses a specific set of animations designed not necessarily for maximum effectiveness or anything, but just because it looks like it's got the right kind of "flow" when Momentum is active. After getting Momentum with Rend Armor, go to Defensive Sweep (swing wide and upward!) to Crushing Blow (keep going, spin and down!), to Follow-Through (twirl that thing and repeat the swing without moving!). I also have an /Atomic Blaster who does it for both cool factor and animation sake: Electron Shackles (extend the left hand) immediately followed by Positron Cell (arm stays extended, hand clenches back into a fist). Looks cool and activates the set's unique debuff at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah. Staff... what is it, Innocuous Trikes, ala "Got your toes, got your toes, got your toes" that makes the enemies hop around (if they're not already animating something.)

Seismic smash, stone spears, heavy mallet, stone spears is way up there, though. And a nod has to go to blaze, flares, blazing blast, flares.

Techwright Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 It takes a bit of practice to get it down right, but Martial Arts with Ninja Run active: 1. run at a large crowd 2. without slowing down, do a low somersault over their heads. Land tight against the far side of the crowd. 3. Dragon's Tail 4. Storm Kick 5. Eagle's Claw Poetry in motion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without_Pause Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Street Justice. Because the the whole set is combos and the animations might be the best overall in terms of lack of overly long ones. I have lost count the times I use CU and go, "To the moon, Alice." Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute. 8. Emma Strange: Ill/dark. 9. Nothing But Flowers: Plant/storm Controller. 10. Obsidian Smoke: Fire/dark Corr. "Downtime is for mortals."
