I found that if you drink/eat a Slurpee REAL fast and read the original Jerkhacking post, it actually makes sense (and has the same effect as your guide).

Kill Skuls!

I've seen 3 controllers lock down the Hydra, shield didn't even come up. 3 Particle Cannon Bursts later, she was gone.

As a Super Strength Tanker I have a suggestion that I would humbly offer to the Devs.

I have seen the number crunching and the many personal arguments going out on the forum. From the stand point of a former game devleoper and fan of CoH here is my recomendation.

Super Strength has always been an un-popular secondary. Conceptitually it is great: in practise the advantages don't make it a good choice for anyone.

As a Firey Aura Tanker, I would have been better off with Fire Melee if I was seeking DPS. As it was I was looking for a cool character who could punch out the bad guys. I found one. At level 20, Super Strength gets KO Blow which is nice but not set defining power.

Rage is the set defining power for Super Strength and an oppurtunity for the developers to get people really excited about the secondary again.

How to do it? Balance is important, but every set has its good powers, so -so powers and REALLY good powers.

Rage should be one of the better ones because Super Strength has got a reputation for poor performance.

Rage can change all that. It doesn't have to be Unstoppable, but lets face it - at level 28 Regen Scrappers get an AWESOME power in their Secondary - why can't the SS line get a decent pick?

Many Powers are balanced in relation to other similar powers in pool sets.

The relationship between Hasten and Rage is clear - both increase your combat effectiveness. Both last for 2 minutes. Both have a cost to be paid after the power has run its course.

But Hasten is an over used pool power and Rage is (or should be ) set-defining for Super Strength.

I would try something like:

Bonuses: +80% base damage, +25% Acc for two minutes
Cost: 20 End when the rage finishes to show the exaustion created by such intense... Ragin'

Period. One bounus and one cost. Just like everyone elses powers...

That is what I would do.

Now, Tankers will still have to manage their end because if Hasten and Rage dump your End at the same time, you lose your toggles and go to the Hospital.

I never picked Rage simply because of the Dev's nerfing it all the time. Why should I get a nerfed power? Speaking of unusable powers: Unstopable (Inv) and Hand Clap (SS) (Stomp does the same, but with Damage!) are the LEAST used powers I have and they will be respec'd out when I hit 50.

DEV'S NEUTER TANKS (AGAIN!) FILM AT 11! Either you want tanks in the game or take them out all together. Quit trying to make us what we are not! If you want MEAT SHIELDS that do nothing but sit there and take damage, then make that a controller power! *SUMMON MEATSHIELD!*

You forgot Blind Invite.

Kheldians are not a bash bash the space button character. A lot of complainers are those that powerleveled and therby never learned anything about the game besides how to cheat.
