Any weapon set will cause you redraw. So, if that's a problem, avoid them when using Fire Armor.

Yeah, but you'd get that with any weapon set, and look in the other threads, Claws/FA seems to be popular.

This is actually what gets me. Seeing as how you see posters all the time go "it's not realistic"

So far, I don't see any way gorillas could realistically take over the world, when it's billions versus an endargered species.

I liked the current version of Supergirl! When I could hit the comic store all the time, I picked up Supergirl because I liked that version of Supergirl. *sigh*

I remember my feelings on his artwork!

It wasn't meh. It just wasn't my favorite, and I thought it was 100 times better than Gary Frank, who ruined Gen-13 for me (well that and the writing was bad...I can handle bad art and good writing...I can handle good art and bad writing...but both...*Sigh* that was a terrible time for Gen-13).

Of course, I didn't go over analyzing his artwork and missed some of those old screw ups people make mention of.

Well that's how I remember it playing KM on my stalker. And I swore it did the same for the other ATs. Not sure if PS increases the -DMG effect or not though.

RT doesn't have the -DMG, and yes, Burst had the biggest -DMG debuff. Figure add that to help /FA's survivability plus the knockdowns (back in the case of RT, which gets skipped by lots of people).

Kin Melee's attacks have -DMG effects whether you use Power Siphon or not...though, does Power Siphon increase the -DMG effect? I didn't think it did.

Unless it's a super long animation, you can click on other powers and not interrupt the combos. I use Void Judgement mid combo all the time on my DB/WP and still finish the combo.

Redraw on the other hand could be an issue for people and it does lower DPS, but it sounds like you're talking about the combo being interrupted.

This has all been pretty much answered. But something to consider...

No matter what primary you pick to pair with Fire Armor, you're good to go!

ELM/FA needs a bit more single target damage? Grab Soul Mastery and get Gloom!

Don't want Soul Mastery? Your ST output should still be decent with Fiery Embrace, Blazing Aura, and Burn thrown into the mix.

ELM may not be the best Single Target set, but you should still beable to pull off some decent ST DPS, and you're also mixing up the damage types which is always good.

The only problem you may find with Dual Blades, is if you're using Healing Flames to often. Using Healing Flames won't interfere with the combos, but it will cause redraw, which may or may not be a problem for you.

Only one power in Kinetic Melee does knockback, Repulsing Torrent, and most skip it. It's better on a Scrapper for sure, but it's still decent on a Brute, but if it looks foolish to you, then don't use it.

You say you hate knockback, but really very few attacks have knockback now. Also, Claw's Shockwave does Knockback.

Sounds like you'd like DB/FA though.

That will allow you to use the -resist proc or even both if you're willing to put in the effort via influence or hero merits to get it.

Blinding Feint - Attack Vitals Combo - Repeat, would be decent ST DPS (more so tacking on all the goodies from Fire Armor), and doesn't require that much +RCH to obtain, and can allow you to focus on +Defense bonuses if you wish to get IOed out.

In terms of damage, Fire Armor helps your single target and AOE damage, or enhances it. So my suggestion is to go by a concept, then turn that concept into a damage machine

I think this is a lot of it.

Though, the fans of the other superhero movies don't seem to be saying anything about comic continuity. :/

Ummm...actually...Dual Blades has def debuff. It's in Alabating Strike. You only need 1 attack to have the proc, as the proc doesn't stack.

Also, Sweeping Strike can take the PvP -Resist Proc, so you can slot in two -resist procs that will stack with each other.

So you want Marvel to have rights back to their movies to enjoy them! See, it's all been answered

Electric Melee is good AOE.

Kinetic Melee has a AOE with 100% Crit from hide. Can tack on a little -DMG on the enemies.

These would be the two choices I say are best to go with.

Could blame the Superman movies. The whole going back in time thing might have ruined it for some people on that.

Not only will he survive, but if he can't save everyone, he can try again!

I'm going to answer this question for you, as I know the answer. You may not like it however, but it's really the truth.

Some people actually like his work. It's true. At one point before there was really an internet, when those who did have a modem used AoL, people raved on and on about Liefeld.

Then, of course, the internet came, and people started jumping on bandwagons, and then EVERYONE on the internet had to jump on the bandwagons.

Kinda like Star Wars Episode 1. People saw it, said it was AWESOME. Now, all you hear is OMG IT SUCKS! YOU RUINED MY CHILDHOOD! Which of course, isn't true. Special Edition did that for the Childhood Star Wars fans.

[EDIT] Forgot to mention...I LOVE THE RED ROBIN OUTFIT!

No one said Melee DP.

DP/Armor is a whole new AT. Because Melee doesn't get ranged sets. So new balances need to be made for it.

I could swear I've missed whole spawns on AOEs. And I recall seeing a screen shot where an Ice Storm missed almost every tick.

I could be wrong though.

Well, there's Bishop. He hasn't been used yet. Could easily say he's not from the future in the Marvel Movie universe.

Some of the other problems are that they used so many of them already (mostly in bit parts).

true. It's an additional power choice.

I could of put in Assault instead for a bit more damage, but I run enough STFs (even now) that it's just a good power pick for me to have, when I've seen to many tanks unable to do the hover + taunt (even if they have fly) due to ego, or the team makeup doesnt allow anyone else to do it.

So, Hover + Confront was put in. Hover adds some survivability though, so that's always a plus (and has saved me on some AVs...like soloing mantis) not to mention Dual Blade Confront just looks pretty

I have no problem using inspirations, in fact, I use them on everything except when I try to solo Pylons/AVs.
