Stone Armor aka Tanks for the claws.

Recommended Posts

Brutes have claws and stone armor with granite (just not together). Claws proliferation.. That's next year.. maybe.. soon

(note: there would likely be some details to still work out for Stone Armor and Shield Defense)

 

though soon™ could always be sooner than we think:

Claws is a standard power set that is a primary set for BrutesScrappers, and Stalkers, and a secondary set for Tankers.

"Claws are bones or blades that extend from your hands and cause Lethal damage. The lightweight, natural feel of claws gives this power set a reduced Endurance cost and faster attack rate than other melee sets."  https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Claws

ah, yes. Brutes and Tankers in the same boat then. 

 

maybe I should have said:  Further Claws proliferation.. That's next year.. maybe.. soon

Why does granite prohibit claws?

 

I don't know and will admit that I could be remembering incorrectly.  IIRC this was the reason given at some point.  Animations maybe?

 

Again, I could be totally wrong, and if I am I'll strike-through my original post. 🙂

Yeah, I thought I remember it being an animation issue as well.

I find Claws to be sadly lacking in damage. I think on a Tank they are frustrating outside of concept.

I'm not sure what's the issue with tankers? Claws is amazing on tank, especially with Spin. Insane AoE.

 

Claws is lacking on Stalker due to no Spin. ::sadface::

I won't argue with the Spin part on Stalkers, or even The Lotus Drops for Stalkers. Losing out on those two AoEs hurt the sets IMO as well.

It's an animation issue between Granite Armor and how the claws are built into the chassis of the character model.
