NEW POWER!

[Teebone]

Idk how to even go about this, lol but have been getting into star wars recently, and would really like to have a telekinesis powerset, if possible be paired with a sword power set, like maybe add gravity or telekinesis to blaster archetype, because it already has ninja training that comes with sword powers. idk where else i could pitch my ideas besides forums lol

Make a Gravity Control/Icy Assault Dominator or a Mind Control/Icy Assault Dominator.

I've had the idea for a while that some pool powers should duplicate primary powers, for those who want to add a little extra to an existing character.  Like Kantana/SR for a "Jedi" but then add a smaller pool of TK for the extra powers.  I don't know how hard it would be to proliferate existing power sets into pool powers, but that might add some flexibility and fun to many builds.

 

Oh and someone new this weekend was asking how to get more "gadget" type powers into his build, seems he wanted to be normal with all gadgets.  One or two gadget type pool powers would be great too.

The other option would be a Psychic Blast Sentinel picking up Weapon Mastery.  (Though a Psi/Ninjitsu Blaster would be similar)

You're describing Epic powers, some of which do include TK.

Or an elec blast/nin blaster or elec/sr/ninja sentinel, (if Sith)... 

 

EDIT:  Another idea:  katana/sr scrapper with dark mastery - torrent to represent a force push, petrifying gaze to represent force stasis, or energy mastery, (conserve power as a form of meditation, physical perfection, then energy torrent for the force push).

Only for Sentinels.

Yes, with Weapon mastery since Ninjitsu Blasters already have access to the sword in Nin

Force of Will feels like it's tailor made for making "Jedi" types. Unfortunately, the animation time on the basic blast is so freakin long it ruins any sense of usefulness, at least for me.

I would love to see a sword based "Assault" set for Dominators though. Mind or Gravity feel wonderful for throwing things or people with "The Force"

Even with the shortcomings of power selection, A 'Star Warsy' character made on CoH feels better than a character made in a Star Wars MMO (now if we could just get some starfighters to costume change into 😜 )

Martial Assault for doms was a great idea, giving them access to more traditional combat than control over elements and energy and stuff. I'd like to see a few other melee sets adapted to fit dominators, and a Blade Assault set would be ideal. Melee attacks would be Katana or Broadsword (make one set and give choice of the other as alternate animations), and ranged attacks could be knife throwing attacks. Repeat with an Axe Assault set using Battle Axe melee attacks and thrown smaller hand axes. Strength Assault could be a combo of Super Strength attacks (no rage) and throwing different sized rocks/objects with Hurl Boulder being a middle point of ranged damage attacks. What about a Pistol Assault set with dual pistol ranged attacks and different melee animations while holding the gun as pistol-whip attacks? And since an all gun assault set worked well for Arsenal Assault, why not a Beam Assault set with Beam Rifle ranged attacks and some very close (bordering on melee range) short ranged attacks/effects?

 

There's really a lot that could be done to cobble together new Assault sets from what we have available in game.
