drgantz Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Are there any ablities that have an acrobatic appearance, such as doing flips? To my knowledge, Ninja Run is the only ability that can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Well, there's Jump Kick, as far as pools. /em Backflip for an emote... Some of Martial Arts animations have you flipping, as I remember (been a *while* though.) 1 1 Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec. I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeraphimKensai Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Ripper. Jump kick. There's a couple more out there that I can't remember off the top of my head. Check claws, as I think one of those attacks flips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Monkey Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Does the super reflexes tier 9 still do a backflip? I remember that being a thing, but my rememberer isn't what it used to be. I do think MA is your best bet. It does a spin kick and a leaping kick that turns into a backflip.

Dragon's Tail and Eagle's Claw, I believe. And that's a good rec. Base MA is super "kicky," though you can choose some "fisty" animations instead, iirc.

Luminara Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Martial Assault: Spinning Kick is what it says. Explosive Shuriken's animation is a leap, spin and throw. Dragon's Tail, drop to the floor and sweep the leg, Johnny. Throw in Jump Kick every other, or every 3rd, attack and you'll have a seamless acrobatic attack chain. 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

To my knowledge, Ninja Run is the only ability that can do this. Adding my voice to the MA pitch. It is absolutely beautiful to have a scrapper run at a 6+ NPC mob, use Ninja Run to low somersault over their heads, land on the other side and immediately sweep into a Dragon's Tail, then follow through on any remaining standing target with Eagle's Claw. Poetry in motion. This is why I have repeatedly asked for a single enhancement slot to for endurance reduction to neutralize Ninja Run's end drain. Lacking that, I have to switch it off when I should be continuing its use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraAlt Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) You could mix in some flip emotes with the attacks as well. flip Just make a macro and put them in you try and use them between power executions /macro flip "e flip" Edited May 2 by UltraAlt still waking up 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they are most probably on ignore. Some of them even know that I have them on ignore. But that won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. It's who they are. There is a group of them that have banded together to do it. They think that it is acceptable. Ignore is a tool to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using it.
