We don't know exactly what that's showing however.

Momentum was about the same attack having a shorter animation time when momentum was built up.

So, for all we know, that's how the numbers look when you're non-stop attacking, and not at a dead stop and then swinging.

^This.

I don't see why people have that hard of a time understanding it.

CoH isn't a static time line, where if they kill of a character at lvl 50, it means they died at the beginning of game for the new character who is now on the same path your character took.

They're giving a story. It's a story based on 1-8 (generally) characters going through the times.

What you (Oedipus_Tex) seem to be asking for would have the game changing with every change they made.

Frostfire was a villain who has become redeemed! We must now eliminate a lot of the Hollows Storyline!

I mean, sure they COULD, and maybe they will at some point, but I doubt it will happen to often.

Look they did that with Galaxy City and people are upset with it (my only complaint is, why can't my level 50 incarnate hero get back and help try to save it/rebuild it when they only have the police to stop you, who I would think would welcome the help).

The game assumes your character found out Hero One became a rikti. Do they end the TF when the first team complete it?

Actually. I think that's what people are missing.

In real life it's not likely to happen but has and can easily happen again!

They are extraordinary situations/people that pull this off.

You see it happen to Kirk and think "that would never happen or it's so rare it wouldn''t" without thinking "the movie/show is about that extraordinary situation/people"

Yeah, it's a common happen stance in movies. But then again, not a lot of people want to see "Star Trek: The Average Hum Drum Boring Adventurers"

Arrogant But Run of the Mill Captain: All hands to battle stations!

Vulcan 2nd in command: Captain we have a 5% chance of surviving this encounter, with only a .0001% chance of actually winning.

Captain: I like those odds!

*ship blows up*

Kirk is the extraordinary captain. Prime Spock knows this. In fact, watching the movies, all of Starfleet, Klingon Empire and the Romulus Empire knows this. They know it so well, that 70-80 years after his death, they all still know it.

Well, the tier 9 looks to have a faster animation and do more damage than Eagle's Claw (I could be reading the in game numbers wrong however...I do better see them laid out in mids )

But at a quick glance, I THINK the set is going to be less DPS than Martial Arts. But there's also other factors, like are the in game numbers showing the damage on the finishers as if they're being used regularly or with the additional +DMG of being used as a finisher.

The set has more AOE than Martial Arts in that it has a melee cone (50%) and a PBAOE, while MA only has the one PBAOE.

Both the AOEs are finishers, with the third finisher being the Crushing Uppercut (of course).

However the set has a -resist power, and can slot both the -resist procs (however not sure if using the Cone attack is worth it in the ST DPS chanin).

Just playing on feel, I think it's going to be less than MA for sure in ST DPS, but that's just up to level 7 play, so it's later attacks can make up for them for all I know.

The animations look very well done however. It's not like people haven't choosen and done amazing things at Scrapper Primaries that are considered middle of the pack, so if that's the case with SJ, I'm just those who still want nice animations will be okay with the set.

From a strictly min/max PoV, I think some will be let down.

I do think the devs need to get the set as it should be (or where they want it to be) right now however.

I can only imagine the complaints for purchasing a set, and then having it be nerfed if it's to good.

Which I'm sure people will say it needs to be exceptional if they buy it without looking at the numbers first, but the devs can put that at the players feet for not seeing if the numbers fit their criteria before they bought it.

I know the BU power automatically fills up the combo meter, but I have to say, a bit disappointed that SJ doesn't get the +100% Damage on BU (believe it was 64-65%) and not sure if filling the combo bar is enough of a reason to downgrade it's +DMG.

I think it's called balance. ^_^

Well there's forcing through brute force But then I think Cole realizes he can be out numbered just as well, and people may not fear him as much as Hamidon?

Also a difference of "Hamidon is just trying to kill us, you're trying to enslave us!"

The well may also beable to take over a person, but that seems to be limited in how one "accepts" the Well, as well.

Of course it could just be sloppy writing (not saying I could do better mind you) and not paying attention to past elements.

We won't know for sure I guess untill they fix stuff or show us how it all comes together. Or both!

Agreed! When looking over the DP/TIME combo, I want lots of the DP powers that I feel are MUST HAVES if for nothing else than I like the powers animations, whether I use the attack often or not.

Fire Blast however, go with far fewer attacks, be okay with skipping more of them, and have plenty of room for Power Pool powers/Epic Pool Powers I want to take as well.

Last night when I was testing it, I would see it only do one hand attack and then switch to a 1-2 punch. I'll have to watch it again today then.

Agreed! I think it would be awesome to see it be a 50/50 mix of Smashing/Lethal damage, just because we don't have such a set. I don't think it would give any distinct advantage over any set myself (but I don't know this for 100% certainty), I think it would just make the set just a bit more awesome/unique/interresting and allow future people to say "OMG! Not only is Smashing and Lethal the most resisted damage types, but this set does it both!"

Only if the one of the other universes don't beat us to it.

Making it completely Smashing damage seems odd to me, when you have Buster Sword and a big piece of wood (?) with lots of pointy opjects in it.

I think so many people dislike Jack they let it feed into Statesman and his counterparts.

Of course, Cole may know that in the end he can't beat Hamidon. And a draw when all that's left is Hamidon and it's creations and himself is really a lose.

Though, I would think if Cole could fight it to a standstill, why he couldn't get some backup and take it head on as a group. Unless those in Praetoria are the types to know there will be loses, and they don't want to be part of those loses.

Muarder: Sure! I could help you to defeat it, but the chance of me coming out of it alive is small enough that it's not worth the risk. I plan to stay alive as long as possible.

Others in Praetoria: Yeah. We agree.

Cole: *facepalm* Okay we'll go about this a different way.

soon!

I thought it was recommended more because it's unique to Stalkers

Ninjitsu also has lower defense than /SR by a noticable amount.

Ninjitsu, EA or WP would be my choices. And EA on a Stalker looks to be quite nice. Easy to softcap, self heal, +RCH, and +END Power. Yummy!

I don't know if he made a mess per se. The truce was based on the people acting a certain way, and I doubt the people would act the way he needed for the truce to stay in place any other way.

Of course I'm sure the power went to his head.

Belladonna didn't seem insane to me. Of course you don't really don't get a chance to know her.
