tidge Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 There are quite a few; I think [Pool.Sorcery.Arcane Bolt] is the one I find is most embarrassing when it misses. First, there is the long wind-up, and during the cast you can already tell that the spell is going off-target. In my head: my characters are thinking "Pay no attention to whatever it is I am trying to do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvaderStych Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Concentrated Strike has entered the thread.

SeraphimKensai Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 1 minute ago, Bug You 2 said: Laser beam eyes. Crossed eyed blast. Otherwise I think it's hysterical in the rare times that you are on a stalker in hide, pop build up and use a slow AS only for it to miss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherTed Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) For me, it's Crane Kick. I use it as a finisher for the style points - nothing like kocking your foe into a wall to say "I'm done with you." But if you miss, you get a double "whiff" noise; once with the kick, and once when returning to your default stance. Probably the one thing in the entire game that makes me feel like PeeWee Herman.

Player2 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Sands of Mu and it's Dark Melee counterpart, as well as its inferior copy in the Speed pool, Flurry.

My peacebringer is constantly getting no animation when using Incandescent Strike. They just stand there and the sound and damages happens. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorSteele Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Sometimes when playing a blast set, if I'm near the target and miss, my character will just arch up and shoot the ceiling. It's hillarious, but also adds a bit of insult to injury. So yeah any blast set =P 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
