God, I love the Freak Tank.
Just so awesome. -
If I've already added a character to the thread for potential art, is it ok to add another? (I'd already added Oathy to the thread.)
If so, can I add my Dark/Ice defender, Arctic Black.
Kinda the idea behind his costume is that all the spikey bits (Mask, Shoulders, Gloves, Boots, Belt) are actually made of ice. (Curse you Ice Mistral! One day I shall have your shiney bits!) -
Quote:The odd part about Dark Melee is that it's a Single Target specialist, but does best with multiple targets in range to fuel it. (Dark Consumption, Soul Drain)Originally Posted by Supernumiphone
Dark Melee is the opposite of Dark Blast in a way. While Dark Blast does best against multiple opponents, Dark Melee is a single target specialist.
The one thing I wish they would do with Dark Blast, is give Lifedrain the Siphon Life treatment.Quote:Originally Posted by Deacon_NA
Dark Melee is definitely far from underpowered, nor is it a "support set". You probably won't create a farmer with DM, you can create an AV soloer though.
You get a quick animating (except for one attack), quick recharging attack chain that hits hard.
An exotic control that debuffs to-hit (Touch of Fear).
A potentially massive damage and to-hit buff (Soul Drain)
Blue bar refiller (Dark Consumption)
A heavy hitting attack... that heals you!
On top of all that, the attacks all debuff to-hit.
Full disclosure - my only DM character has just hit level 12, so my hands-on experience is limited. At level 12 though, I'm very satisfied and can see things just getting significantly better.
I do have significantly more experience with Dark Blast (50 Def, 50 Corr) and have no complaints.
It has a good synergy when paired with powersets that
a) have no self-heal (Shield Def, Super Reflexes, Cold Dom, Traps for example)
b) have +Def and/or -ToHit debuffs (see above)
So, again, nothing underpowered to see here.
It's already on a longer recharge than a tier3 blast, at the very least it should deal roughly equal, or just slightly less damage. (Hell i'd be happy if it did 1.64scale (8second recharge equivalent).
EDIT: Ok, Ok I lied, another thing I wish they would do is Widen Nightfall's cone to 40degrees so that it matched Tenebrous Tentacles. They could even shorten it's cone to 40' to match if that's the tradeoff. -
Quote:I'm thinking he was meaning passive defense via armor toggles/click buffs/passives, as opposed to active defense via debuffs/status/deadness.Originally Posted by Aisynia
It's called Ice Manipulation.
Also, Mental Mastery is pretty good for active defense. you've got AoE -recharge, AoE confuse(chance), AoE stun(chance), Single target Fear, Single target Immobilize, Single target KB, and HP regen from Drain Psyche. -

Quote:If you check out the CoH & CoV General Discussions forum, you'll find that people are already pledging their loyalty to the various factions.Originally Posted by Caemgen
Not an artist so can't help but was wondering what the deal was... Is this for a group of rp'ers. People just really looking forward to GR or what?
Also, you looking to keep the same style and just add more people to it, looking for something different altogether - maybe a logo or something? I'm thinking logo cause I can really see there being some common grafitti tag spraypainted by the young rebellious Resistance wannabe noobs... -

Just to clarify, I'm with Captain Photon on that one. I just tend to RP horrible, terrible people. Whether there's a "right answer" to this, villainy would tend to side with the "G'bye hundreds of thousands" mentality.

In other awesome news, I'm getting hired to be a colorist for a comic! Finally living a part of one of my dreams!
You've deffinitely got the talent, happy that someone "in the biz" took notice. -
He should be in the Contacts list no? I'll have to check.

There are a lot of talented people over in the Screenshots and Fan Art section, perhaps you could see if anyone there would be upto making up some banners.

Quote:Honestly....Originally Posted by Westley
To be honest, I'm actually getting tired of all the Blue Steel-Chuck Norris style comments.
Where the HELL did they all come from anyways? The only thing that I know about Blue Steel is that he's the trainer in KR. I've read a LOT of the story arcs and haven't seen Blue Steel mentioned in any of them.
I just don't get it... and it's getting tired to me.
I never liked Chuck Norris.
There. I said it. -
In general Forcefield will provide more mitigation to a team via stronger shields and knockback/down.
Sonic will provide less mitigation, but increased kill speed. Something that Forcefield doesn't really help AT ALL (unless you count the damage from Repulsion Bomb). -
Quote:Honestly I think the biggest hurdle for people who wanted a more traditional gunslinger look, is going to be the Tier 9 Mini-nuke.Originally Posted by Le Blanc
I do get where the OP is coming from. But what I would like to add is that I have a feeling that all the weird things coming out of the end of the pistols (in the teaser video) MIGHT be dependent on the ammo type being used. If you select the plain ole bullets option, you might very well be able to get your regular "Cowboy" type gunslinger. I don't know for sure, but the dev's really seem to be doing a good job giving us options, not taking them away. Also, you might very well be able to select a "No F/X" option to your animations like other powers. Again, I don't know for sure, just speculation. Sure some of the body movements (which I am supposing will stay the same regardless) may be a bit over the top for a cowboy, but who knows.
I really am looking forward to this blaster though. Big time.
NOTE: At the begining of the info given on the hero-con thread it said that the doves were a silly "Easter Egg" thing and would NOT be part of the final powerset. So don't worry. It's gonna get better.
It's easily the most extreme example of Gun-fu from the set.
I suppose one could always say "Don't take it" but it's a crashless mini-nuke. Would you really tell an Archer not to take Rain of Arrows? (If you answer yes, slap yourself.)

Quote:Everyone wants Pizza, but no one likes the same toppings. Some people want pepperoni, some people want Hawaiian, some people are vegitarians and can't have either.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
"I don't want pizza. I want oatmeal. And I want all the other kids to have oatmeal, 'cause they can imagine it's pizza and I can't imagine that pizza is oatmeal."
How about we get a Cheese Pizza? It's Pizza, and while it may not have the toppings everyone wants, it doesn't have any toppings that people DON'T want or can't have... and everyone still gets to have pizza. -
Quote:I dunno..... a lot of the Praetorians are getting the once over, Tyrant (Emperor Cole) just might inherit some new powers that change his ranking on that list.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
In game terms, I think they'd rank:
1 - Reichsman
2 - Statesman
3 - Tyrant
4 - Imperious
But in a comic, the winner would be whoever the writer chose to win -
I use Magic and Natural most, and Mutation the least.

Alternative animations as part of Power Customization might make DP more suitable for the less energetic types
No other weapon based set has alternate animations.
