Epic Pool Blasts

[BrandX]

I'd hate to see Moonbeam and Zapp reduced in damage, so would be nice to see those blasts in the Epics, like Fireball and Laser Beam Eyes, improved in damage to be closer to those ones.

The first two you mention are snipes and the others are not.

What about Gloom vs all the other brute/tank EPP blasts?

Only scrappers and stalkers have access to the snipes, and they're only in 3 of their 8 EPP sets. Agree that most of the EPP ST blasts are decidedly meh. Don't think that increasing the ST blast damage to snipe level is warranted, but since most of these powers are pulled from blaster primaries, I think damage should be increased from scale 1.0 to scale 1.64 to match the T2 blaster powers they come from (with recharge adjusted accordingly). Would like to see this happen to tank/brute, scrapper/stalker and controller EPPs.

Wouldn't mind if they gave us Tyrant's version of Laser Beam Eyes! 😁 Still, would be nice for the "epic" pools to get a once over numbers wise.

The epic pool blasts are all over the place, apparently because of inconsistently applying recharge penalties to the powers. They could really use a consistency pass.

Longer recharge and probably a bit overpowered but yeah sure. I’d love if they increased Laser Beam Eyes’ damage and recharge to match Gloom’s though it still wouldn’t be as good because of activation times (and as we know the devs don’t bother balancing activation times). 
 

I wouldn’t want the damage on Fire Ball increased because I don’t want the recharge to go up further.

A thousand times this. Every pool for every AT.

I want Olympian 29's eye laser cone!

[Rudra]

Isn't Olympian 29 just a renamed original Tyrant just a re-colored Statesman? So isn't he just using Statesman's abilities?

No

[Rudra]

Thanks. May I ask what the differences are then?

(Edit: I was under the impression the Olympians were just the old Tyrant from the ... Maria Jenkins' arc?)

Olympian 29 is the Olympian from the DA story arc, his laser beam eye is really cool.

[Rudra]

Okay, my mistake, Thanks. What about the Olympian in the replacement Maria Jenkins arc? Is that just a renamed original Tyrant or is it a new Olympian too? (The original arc, it was Tyrant.)

Yes, they are, but as mentioned there's Gloom for a really great blast too.

 

And I'm not saying turn them into Snipe level Blasts (I wouldn't be opposed) but get them closer to them.

 

Moonbeam is around 154 DPS (in quickform), Zapp is around 156 DPS (in quickform), so getting those Epic Blasts up to say 110 DPS (Gloom Range) range, wouldn't be terrible.

 

Though, this is all taking numbers from Mids (which I thought Moonbeam was a head of Zapp before)...so number could be off.
