Wingslord24 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) @Blazar what do you think? Power Level Effect Spear Thrust 1 Ranged, Moderate DMG (Lethal), Foe -Defense. A precision throw with your polearm, reducing the target's defense, making them more vulnerable to future attacks. Sweeping Arc 1 PBAoE, Light DMG (Lethal), Foe Knockdown, Foe -Defense. Spins your polearm, damaging and knocking down nearby foes, weakening their defenses for further attacks. Impaling Strike 2 Melee, High DMG (Lethal), Foe -Defense, Chance for Stun. A powerful thrust that pierces deep into the enemy, reducing defense and possibly stunning them. Wide Cleave 6 Melee (Cone AoE), Moderate DMG (Lethal), Foe -Speed, -Defense. Sweeps your polearm in a broad arc, damaging and slowing enemies, while weakening their defenses. Battle Focus 8 Self +DMG, +ToHit. Boosts your damage and accuracy for a period of time, sharpening your polearm attacks, helping you land devastating blows. Harpoon Toss 12 Ranged, High DMG (Lethal), Foe Immobilize, -Defense. Throws the polearm like a harpoon, impaling and pinning the target, rendering them unable to move. Spinning Polearm 18 PBAoE, Moderate DMG (Lethal), Foe -Defense. Spin your weapon in a wide circle, striking all nearby foes and making them more vulnerable to damage. Grand Impale 26 Melee, Extreme DMG (Lethal), Foe -Defense, Chance for Critical Strike. Delivers a devastating polearm strike, potentially scoring a critical hit and leaving enemies weakened. Cyclone of Blades 32 PBAoE, High DMG (Lethal), Foe Knockdown, Foe -Defense. Spins violently, unleashing a flurry of lethal strikes that send enemies flying, while shredding their defenses.

Xandyr Posted Saturday at 06:48 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:48 PM I wonder if it's too similar to Staff fighting? And that's a whole lot of debuffs thrown in with each attack. 1 What you wanted to know about Bio, but never asked - Tanker - Homecoming (homecomingservers.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume melee but then you have a ranged attack and a pbaoe kicking it off, which is unheard of. It's also missing taunt/confront if it's melee. Here's some icons I threw together to illustrate what the set might look like at a glance. AspieAnarchy, Alchemystic, and I have taken our own cracks at a spear set in the past here, here, and here if you want to compare.

kelika2 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Did you copy and paste this from another city of heroes project? Tier8 and Tier9 Primary Powers are available at level 22 and 26 on Homecoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudra Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Well, if we're going to call things out, a spear thrust is not a throw. So that T1 should be a melee attack, not a ranged attack. And the description of Cyclone of Blades tells me it should be a cone, not a PBAoE. Same thing with Sweeping Arc, though from the name rather than the description in this case. (Which should not be a level 1 available power anyway.) And like @Xandyr said, there are an awful lot of secondary effects on those powers. So either the damage is going to take a massive hit or the powers are going to suffer equal penalties in other areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spear Thrust becomes a melee attack, not a ranged attack. Both Sweeping Arc and Cyclone of Blades become cones, not PBAoEs. And you either reduce the number of secondary effects in each power or be content with the set not hitting as hard as any other set in the game. (Edit: Oh yeah, and Impaling Strike and Sweeping Arc trade places.) Edited 20 hours ago by Rudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
