I want Super Energy Strength Melee, but only if its made up of the worst powers of each set.

[MunkiLord]

That is an excellent first post.

With the new Force of Will travel power, everybody gets Foot Stomp now. 

[MunkiLord]

Along with Super Strength and Energy Melee, we need Stone Melee! After using it on my Dom, I need to play this on a Scrapper.

[SmalltalkJava]

Yeah. I think everything should be proliferated.   Just tweak it to be in line with scrapper balance

When everyone gets footstomp, no one is footstomping?

Knockback is the bane of many players in the game.

Which is why they gave us KB to KD IOs.

Energy Blast looks and laughs.

Sudden Acceleration: KB to KD does not appear to be unique as per Mids. Course, this doesn't mean everyone is going to or should slot them in all KB attacks... but the choice is there.

I suspect there were more virtuous people found in Sodom than Energy Blasters to be found who have multi-slotted to convert knockback to knockdown. Fortunately nobody is facing destruction or being turned into a pillar of salt.

While I haven't gotten my PB to 50 yet, I have them slotted in every KB power except the Nuke.  My nuke I allow to do the knock back ^_^  The rest of the team can suffer!

Super Strength, which has the gimmick of knockback

Uh, are we talking about the same set? SS only has knockback on two powers, namely the two that people rarely take or use anyway. Claws and Kinetic Melee already have more knockback problems than SS does, since it's unavoidably attached to their AoE attacks instead of on a separate power.

My PB only lacks it in Gleaming Blast, which I rarely end up using. Going  KB->KD in all the AoE is too useful to me, let alone the rest of the team. Inner Light -> Solar Flare (KD), Dawn Strike (KD), Photon Seekers (KD), Solar Flare (KD), Luminous Detonation (KD), Clean-up.

I stand corrected.

I was hoping this was to announce that it's being ported tomorrow. I'm a sad munki...

Foot stomp has kb also.  I have been a long time SS user but didnt realize that till the other day.

[Murcielago]

The number of scrappers who don't have super strength is too damn low!

Negative; it has knockdown. Like all KD effects, it will turn into KB against sufficiently low-level enemies, but that's only rarely a problem.

I'm not just speaking out of my rear here, for me it does KB and that's slotting it with a normal damage set.  I've seen it happen all the time.  It's not across the room or anything but it does KB enough to be annoying.

 

And if you would like to see how often it does it against level 54s I can show you.

 

Kd is a lesser magnitude of KB. But it doesn't take much to get it to KB anymore with footstomp for some reason. 

 

I don't remember it being this way on live either.

Just curious what it is slotted with?
