StJ/SD vs MA/SD

[Cheddacheese]

Hi all,

 

After playing blasters for a long while I decided to go back up close in personal, reactivating my inner scrapperlock. I decided to go with a martial arts/brawler  style concept because I really like the flashy animations and shield is a solid secondary.

 

My question is which one excels more (performance wise), martial arts or street justice? I know that comparing powersets in CoH is a bit difficult and subjective but I’m very curious to hear your opinions!

 

Thanks!

StJ is better.  access to aoe early on and a solid single attack chain.  Its not super high movie martial artsy but after a few screenshaking crunching punches you will forget about it

I decided to go with Street Justice in the end!

 

This is the endgame build I came up with

- Softcapped melee, AoE and ranged is at 44.5 %

- Great recharge

- Endurance issues will be mitigated by ageless and temp powers

 

Let me know what you think!
