Quote:This is kind of how I feel. I should be able to slot this IO in both Explosive Blast and Energy Toprrent.. but for some silly reason it was decided that this Proc needed to be Unique even though people would LOVE the ability to turn KB into KD..Originally Posted by Tater Todd
I still refuse to play Energy Blast again until I'm able to make all of my KB attacks KD.
I had a build all worked out for Airhammer my main until I realized that this IO only works in one power. Very Very sad... -
so basically if you read between the lines.. everything pretty much blow.. lol

Icarnate Judgement blast powers will not allow you to form a chain in any way shape or form.
I cannot think of a way you can turn a tank into a character that has a sold ranged attack chain. The game isnt really set up that way..
You could take a blaster and build a high defense build with powers and IO's -
I think I might be the only person that is a little upset about this enhancement. For years some of us have been looking for a way to have a choice as to whether a power does knockback or not and now we have been given that choice in a limited fashion because the IO is a Unique..
Therefore in toons with Multiple KB attacks I can only slot this once..
Not saying im not going to place it in a few toons.. but kind of a huge letdown for the plans I had for some -
Here is my build as he is Live now.. I was going for Perma Energize and got really close.. off by about 2-3 seconds... with a few foes in range its usually perma... He is sofcapped to Smashing Lethal and about 43% Energy. Obviously I did not take my travel powers that late but I havent reworked the Mids build to 100% accuracy as to when I took the travel powers but the slotting is 100% accurate.
Maybe this will give you some ideas about the directions you would like to go.

Thanks.....
Very disappointed to see that the -kb proc will be a unique and it wont be global either... This would have totally changed my signature toon..oh well back to hover blasting.... -

Start a solo blaster yellowside
you will die alot from getting hit with a mez before you can kill off oponents, OFTEN!
Its not a problem blueside because there are so many blue enemies that dont have any mezzes at all, which is why they get so farmed.
Before IO's
Before HP increase
Before Break Free
Before even the crappy Defiance
Before Defiance 2.0 which actually lets you attack...
I remember when you got mezzed.. that was it.. if there was no one with clear mind.. you were screwed..
I remember when a Malta LT hit you with a stun grenade back then.. You might as well get up.. take a bio break and get a something to drink.. cause when you got back.. you would STILL be stunned LOL... -
Quote:Im one of those weird folks that isnt really all up in arms about blaster mez protection. I say let me kill em all first..Originally Posted by Shubbie
It seems to me, not giving blasters mez protection the same time mez protection in the form of a pay to win is rolled out seems a little suspicious.....
especially considering blasters are currently the most susceptible to mez effects at this time.
Not trying to be mean, but it does say something.
dead men cant mez me.. -
Quote:HMMMMMM you dont say.... VERY interesting.....Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Perhaps it is not a lack of understanding, but a general dislike of exaggeration for effect.
Exaggeration is often seen as a lowbrow and/or antagonistic way of trying to win an argument - most often without sufficient merit.
So, again, it might not be a lack of understanding, but rather a common preference... much like the common preference to avoid using CAPS for emphasis.

Quote:So... get crackin !!!!Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
*sighs at the irony of a Summer Blockbuster event where the trailer for said event wasn't released earlier*
However, the COH Twitter feed says that supposedly we're getting a trailer for this one... I so hope they play up all the movie cliches (green THIS TRAILER HAS BEEN APPROVED screen, over the top music, fake reviews, all that).
EDIT: OMG, I just had an idea - you know how theatres have a concessions stand mini-promo before the movie starts? (Some bubbly upbeat thing zooming around smiling and showing off all the stuff you can get...)
They need an icon of Golden Girl, all winkies and so on, zooming around the theatre showing off the features of the release (new graphics, new mechanic, whatever), almost like this demented version of Tinkerbell racing around before waving her wand and producing the Disney logo.

Samuraiko/Dark_Respite -
with the new -KB IO that is coming out with the Summer Events I was wondering how are we supposed to acquire it. Is it from running the new events? Can you buy it with some of the various Merits we have in the game (Astral, Hero, Reward) or will it just be a random drop. Is it a rare IO set or something more in the line of a rare ?? Is it unique ? Can you only slot it in one power ( which would suck for my Nrg Blaster )
Any heads up info from those with experience from Beta testing would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance -
Isnt clicking Aim alone enough to get the " insta-snipe " ?? I dont really see the problem with the 22% if you just click Aim before Snipe..
-
I think you are confusing the word exotic with the word rare.. and they are not necessarily the same thing...
-
I would like for VS to be a real pet that draws its OWN aggro and get a few more attacks. Electric keeps being compared to Fire.. well NOTHING is Fire.. so Fire should be removed from the equation IMO.
I enjoy Electric for some of the very same reasons that Circuit Boy already described. -
I tend to make characters in themes.. Ice, Electric, Fire etc..
I have a Dark/Stone tank named Sandstone and a Staff/Dark tank named SandStorm and the Dark powers are recolored to look like sand..
So now I am thinking of a Sandblast character most likely a corruptor. I dont like Dark Blast ( I hate the little skulls on some of the attacks ).. I am thinking of trying Water Blast and coloring it like sand when it comes out.. problem is secondary.. it needs to look like sand.
I am thinking maybe poison as an option maybe even cold..
Any other thoughts ??
Thank you in advance. -
We dont even know all the changes yet..

Quote:Also the Lightning Costume Change Animation would work as well.Originally Posted by Arbiter Hawk
Personally, I think Lightning Rod's animation looks awesome, and would make this power feel more like "powering up" than the current "Hand Clap, but with lightning". I'll talk to the art team and see how they feel about this change - we tend to be hesitant about changing the look of existing powers, but since the power is changing, it may make enough sense here to be worth doing.
-
Well it looks like I am late to the party for the second day in a row.. darn job getting in the way of my CoH time...
I only have one suggestion which was made by someone else earlier in this thread and I thought it was a good one.
Understanding the reasoning behind Lightning Clap/Force of Thunder and now realizing that it will work out of combat as a buff an in combat as mez attack.. I would like to submit for your consideration changing the animation for Lightning Clap to the one from Lightning Rod (without the teleportation obviously)
This will work very well artistically and thematically both in and out of combat. Out of Combat you charge yourself with Electricity for the buff and in Combat You call down Lightning to Stun and Disperse your foes..
I think this would go over EXTREMELY well..
Thank You.. -
Quote:If they did this and actually removed the knockback or turned it into knockDOWN it would make a lot more sense and would still mesh thematically..Originally Posted by StratoNexus
I think gathering up the energy and having it course through you in such a way as to buff you is represented fine with the current animation and FX. That said, the Lightning Rod animation and effect would be even better and still works for the current effect of Lightning Clap.
I would actually consider taking the power and possibly dropping VS in my build. -
Quote:Bad Decision on the Devs on this one.. You know what I see here.. People not taking Lightning Clap because IT SUCKS.. Hey lets put something that they want into something that sucks so that it doesnt suck as much and people will start taking it..Originally Posted by MonkeySpirit
You can use Power of the Thunder (new Lightning Clap) outside of combat and it will still give you the full boost without hitting any foes, from the information given. The buff lasts for a full minute so it won't disrupt your sapper lifestyle at all.
Why not put it in Lightning Field like Blazing Aura in Fire ??? What was the specific reason THIS power that almost no Electric Blaster I know takes chosen ??? Devices gets their buff in Cloaking Device.. Toggle.. Ice get theirs in chilling embrace.. another Toggle... AND they increase the radius of Chilling Embrace ???
This should be placed in Lightning Field.. something that would benefit EVERY playstyle..
Thats just my opinion.. but I am mostly unimpressed with these changes.. -
Quote:Thank you.. Your sympathy is appreciatedOriginally Posted by EvilGeko
Poor Electric Blast. And the E3 folks.....I'm sorry.

the only real unambigous win on these changes is the increased range for the short powers. this whole thing is a what the heck were they thinking? And who was it meant to appeal to ?
bingo !!!!! -
Quote:Again I brought up the Elec/Elec Blaster because its the best example from my stable of blasters.. It could be someone elses build.. maybe someone doesnt take Touch of Fear and its a similar issue for them...Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
Out of curiosity, how would you feel if the Regen/Recovery buff had been added to the set as a 10th power but functionally the same as it is now (so a click power with a say 60 second duration)?
I'm trying to figure out exactly why you object to it being in Lightning Clap. Is it because it's a knockback power? Is it because it's a click and you want a toggle? Is it because you're concenred that the wide area will draw to much aggro?
Personally what I think this game needs is more tiers like the VEAT's get or MORE options per set like a Kheldian gets.. Then that would give greater latitude for each person to build as they see fit and not have something just slapped onto random power as an afterthought...
And I dont want to belittle what the Devs are trying to do.. I understand they see an issue and are trying to address it. great.. but I am saying that the issue needs to be addressed from the AT perspective.. not just the Powerset..
when Dominators got a change a while back there were specific changes in the way the AT works.. yes there were some powersets that had some slight changes but those changes didnt cause you to respec in and out if powers..
When Defenders complained that Digiligence sucked.. ( and it did ) ad they had a hard time soloing some changes were mean to the AT through its inherent to add 30% more damage solo with a diminishing returns scale scale as team grew bigger..
Brute Fury changes affect the AT not just the powers...
Stalker changes affected the AT in general across the board.. even if you didnt take AS there was STILL some benefit.. wih the other changes...
SO again.. im not upset about my Elec/Elec believe me... my issue is about how the combinations work between each other... -
Quote:exactly what I think is the problem.. at least you got something..Originally Posted by Another_Fan
Airhammer, at least you got something. Imagine how the people who took mental for psychic scream feel. They got left out in the cold because blappers also take their set.
I could take a dump in a box and wrap it up in some nice paper and stick a pretty bow on it and say.. he at least I got you a gift... Its the thought that counts...
but what you really got was a box of crap...
