You actually made me go check, but considering Will Domination is the signature Psychic Blast power in its bursty projectile-stacking mini-game, I was pretty certain that couldn’t be right 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeregrineFalcon Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Coincidentally I just created a Psi/Energy Blaster a week ago. Got her to 24 just yesterday. Just SOs. (Still happy that I can easily get SOs for lower level characters!) The only blaster that I played all last year is my level 50 Fire/Fire/Fire. So, as I'm sure you can imagine, I've been having difficulty going from ALL AOE ALL THE TIME! to no AoEs at all. But I'm still having fun learning how things work on Psi. While I agree that Psychic Tornado has a ridiculous, and over long, animation, I'm hoping that the devs don't touch Psi Blast at all. If past history is any indication they're likely to add some kind of weird combo system to it. I'm really hoping that they get over that kick but, until they do, I hope they don't add a combo system to the power set that I just started playing. "It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire posts, the posts become warning points. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion." Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you probably have to compliment Psy/Energy with an extra AoE from the APP's/PPP's. /Energy just has nothing to help with that problem even though it will make your S/T chain even more snipey and pew pew. I recommend procced out Repulsion Bomb or Electrifying Fences 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to stack damage from multiple attacks in one instant of time by understanding the varying projectile speeds is the #1 coolest thing about the set. Same goes for Seismic Blast. I don't need the damage to happen X seconds from now. I need it to happen now.

Why in the hell arrows travel instantaneously while thoughts take three seconds baffles me. Agree to disagree, I like the few niche exceptions when multiple attacks all hit in one single burst, giving the enemies fewer moments between being hit and being defeated. There’s little that survives long enough to notice what’s happening to them when you Meteor>Upthrust>Pyronic or Will Dom>Psi Lance>TK Blast. It’s not like your preference isn’t already plenty prevalent in this game 🙂 [take my toys and i’ll cut u] Edited February 3, 2022 by arcane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about mobs, then psychic blast isn't the most annoying power. Smoke grenade, now there is an annoying mob power compared to the player version. Unlike the player version, the perception debuff doesn't cancel when taking damage. But I digress. 1 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_General Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Maybe psychic attacks were designed for this generation of people and the reason they take so long to get where they are going is all psychic attacks have ADHD.

Also any variables like transmission medium that isn't a cerebral synapse. I'm not even being that pedantic. I'm sure there has been in-game lore about the study of mental powers since characters like Mother Mayhem had a while branch of medical professionals that end up creating such meta-humans. It's not something I look for but I wouldn't put it past the writers to make some tongue-in-cheek references to the slow "thought projectile speed" of the game because it is a rather unique style of mental powers in CoX. On the other hand, most other media portray mental powers as near instant when, in reality, thoughts are certainly not instantaneous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
