MTeague Posted Monday at 05:06 AM Posted Monday at 05:06 AM Toxic Dart is actually a pretty decent pool power attack, esp with Containment. But the animation of flinging a syringe is... less than ideal. Could we get an alternate animation, using the the Arachnos Widow / Poison Dart animation? Launching the toxic dart from a wrist launcher would feel ever so much better than casually flinging a syringe while you backslap empy air. Full Disclosure: I've seen this requested a few times before. But the most recent threads are over a year old, some two or three. So rather than necro-post, I made my own thread. I get that this is Very Very Low priority. I'm just hoping it would be an easy-peasy repoint, since we do already have the Poison Dart animation for both male and female widows now. Thanks for any consideration. 1 2 .
Aracknight Posted Monday at 09:52 AM Posted Monday at 09:52 AM Yes please. I'd love it for all dart attacks. Including the Tranq Dart origin power. 1
kelika2 Posted Monday at 01:49 PM Posted Monday at 01:49 PM unless containment does it differently only the initial lethal damage gets doubled and not the dot i am speaking from fiery embrace experience
MTeague Posted Monday at 06:03 PM Author Posted Monday at 06:03 PM For Toxic Dart, containment does a large chunk of up-front lethal damage to compensate for not doubling the dot ticks. I'm currently leaning on it for a low level Ice/Cold Controller in Praetoria 1-20, since those powersets aren't the best damage dealers to begin with. So far it's been working great, I just... the animation makes me sigh, lol. .

MTeague Posted Monday at 11:21 PM Author Posted Monday at 11:21 PM I mean, the backhand fling works for throwing a frisbee. For throwing stars / shuriken, I'd expect more of forward arm / wrist snap. Actually throwing a syringe with plunger and expecting it to land such that it injects someone is.... silly, at best. A wrist mounted dart launcher like Widows have would seem to make the most sense if a hero/villain/other set out planning to use that as an attack. .
