You're trying to be funny, and that's fine.

However, this kind of condescending tone really does nothing but make you and the rest of this game's player base look bad.
It would matter so much if there weren't so many of you with that attitude. Any time someone has anything negative to say about something in this game, it's always met with that same attitude. You don't even get that kind of crap in the WoW forums with this kind of regularity.


Whatever, you'll ignore this or talk down to me the same way your kind always does. I just had to say it.

What the hell are you two talking about?

When did I say I cared about real world physics? My problem with the set is that it DOESN'T LOOK AWESOME AT ALL.
I had to use caps, in case you miss my point again.


Take a look at Dual Pistols. Personally, I dislike the set. Then again, I dislike playing Blasters.
However, the animations for the set are amazing. They're the reason I keep trying different combos with DP(both blaster and corruptor).
They're completely unrealistic, but amazing none-the-less. The characters using DP do not look like they picked up the guns for the very first time. They know what they're doing.
To use a different example: the characters using Broadsword, War Mace or Battle Axe, aren't making beautiful swings. However, their swings look relatively smooth. Even the most awkward looking swings, the cone attacks like Slice and Crowd Control, look natural.

These things are lacking, for the most part, in the animations shown in that earlier video.
The character looks like they're a righty trying to be a lefty. It would be like me trying to throw a baseball with my left hand. I may get the ball where I want it to go, but it will look a little funny.
It simply is not up to the standard we've had thus far in this game.

I tried that, myself.
It felt like I was playing a controller. Lots of debuffs and crap, not a whole lot of damage. The weapon redraw meant I was shooting at stuff after teammates just finished them off.


Trying it as Ice/Time, now.

What I expect is that my character looks like he knows what he's doing with the weapon. Not like he just picked something random up and started swinging it around in a manner that indicates he's never even been in a fight, let alone used a weapon.

I agree with you.
I was expecting more "oomph", but they look more like the 2h animations from Dragon Age Origins. It looks like the character can barely lift the weapon.

Maybe it's that whole left handed thing that bothers me, though.

I prefer the StJ miss sounds to the SS miss sounds.

WOOSH vs feh

That little shockwave of air that comes off your character's legs and fists is amazing, too. Almost makes the miss here or there not so bad. Almost.

Street Justice is basically the set I've wanted since I first started playing this game.
No extreme acrobatics or weird contortions like you'd find in MA. No explosions or "hulk smash" animations you'd get from SS. No fire, no darkness, no energy, no weapons.
Just a straight up beat down.

I love the set so far(Currently 22 as of this post). I'm looking forward to Shin Breaker and Crushing Uppercut. I find the animations to be fun looking.

As for the AoEs, my main, before I quit the game long ago was a Dm Scrapper. Also, every time I'd come back for a month or so, my newly created characters would all get and use Sands of mu. Lining up a tiny cone/aoe is pretty much second nature to me.

I decided to skip Heavy Blow, myself. I knew that if I went with the route you took, I might have had to make a similar decision.
Combat Readiness is amazing, however, it only really starts to shine when you get your second finisher at 18.
3 combos -> Spinning Strike -> Combat Readiness -> Reposition and Sweeping Cross

It's the sexiest thing ever when one of the finishers crits.

Anyway, you're not going to feel that much of a hit for not taking CR right away.

I'm sorry, this made me laugh. It isn't that you're wrong, it's the you're right.
However, the whole DP thing is just sad, imo.

Basically, what you actually just said is: "DP shines when you rely heavily on your secondary."

So DP is awesome when you don't use DP.

It's the lack of chilling embrace that reminds me to upgrade them all.
"Hey, isn't that guy supposed to have a noisy blue aura?"

Am I the only one that thinks that's far too much work to get something done?

There's this manga where healing bullets exist. It was about this Sorceress in a wild west type setting. So she, of course, had a revolver. She had a bunch of magic bullets, one of which healed one of the characters. He was shot and dying, so she shoots him in the chest with that "healing bullet".

That's what you'd like to see, if they gave it to stalkers it would be like this:

Jab
Punch
Haymaker
Assassin's
Build Up
Placate
Hand Clap
Hurl
Knockout Blow


But like I said, you wont get it. It doesn't fit the AT. It's like expecting the hulk to be able to assassinate anything quietly.
*sneaks up to something*
BLAM!
*all enemies in a 5 mile radius alerted to your presence*

Really wish the Devs would stop making things people want as attacks for MMs long before they make their way onto powersets for other classes.
