Rush_Bolt

Use of an Assault Rifle... type thing.

There should be 3 sets of numbers for LR. One is the baseline and is dealt to all, second is the one for foes within 20' of targeted area, and third is for foes within melee range of targeted area.

Only those foes that are in melee range of the spot you target will get the full hit which, yes, is equal to Shield Charge.

It means "The stun is very minor and has a tiny chance to activate, so stack it up with other stuns." Which is kinda funny since aside from Hand Clap, there are no other Stuns in SS.

Both. Nothing will make One with the Shield recharge faster (or slower). As for what slots... um, IO sets for bonuses you want? Other than that, 3 RES and it's fine.

You could put in some Heals to increase the +HP. Or some EndMods to increase the +Recov. It's your call.


Damage. And some Rech. EndReduc if you want.

No. From a completely technical standpoint, it would be knockback.

Propel is just like every other attack, but it comes with a fancy animation. All it really is doing is saying, "Apply XX Mag Knockback to target after XX seconds" which coincides with the animation time. And since power customization does not affect the actual mechanics of the power, merely the visual representation of it, the effect would remain knockback.

So if this option ever became available, yes, you would see the target get hit on the head then fly away, because knockback is always, Always, ALWAYS directed away from the caster.**


** - Even when said caster is a pseudopet.



I'm just saying what it would be if this OPTION (Op's term) was made available for Propel. I, of course, take "option" to mean that it is not the default and only manner for the power to act, which puts this in the realm of Power Customization. And Power Customization does not, can not, will not change a power's actual mechanics.

Now, if you want to ask for a complete change to Propel, period, so that the object will ONLY drop from above and change the knockback value to knockdown to be consistent with the graphic, that's perfectly fine. But that's not what was asked.

You mean old Energy Transfer?

It used the palm thrust move that Power Thrust (from Energy Manip) and Chain Induction (from Electric Melee) use.

I, for one, look forward to when you release your findings on this. It'll be an interesting read if nothing else.

I dunno. It's been a while since I drained some speed out of some guy.

Lemme give that shot and I'll get back to you.

You mean it doesn't make sense to hit somebody on the head then watch them fly 20' away?

I dunno, but just thinking about that sounds hilarious.

I play Energy/ Blasters, TA/A Defenders and Grav/Elec Doms. I never really focus on DPS.

I just find redraw to be bloody annoying.

Wait... this game has PvP?

Same here.

I've always hated redraw. Even back when it didn't make a difference. If you can see past that really big irritant, hey, more power to ya, but there's no way I would willingly play a character that incurred that level of redraw.

Nope.


/bind KEY "targetcustomnext Oil"

And if you have the Tech or Magic Origin Temp Power, you can change it to "targetcustomnext Oil$$powexecname Taser Dart" or "targetcustomnext Oil$$powexecname Apprentice Charm"

Those will automatically target the Slick and fire the power at it thus igniting it.

He's trying to say that Pistols should do the same proportionate distance in-game as they do in RL. Which, once conversions are done, means Pistols would have ~12' of range.

So there's no problem with a ranged set then. Good.

Anyway, Devs said way back when that Scrappers would never get Pistols.

Point. I was making the comparison between the two choices I listed: Devices and Energy.

None of the other sets really interest me which is exactly why I limited my responses to only the ones mentioned.

And, y'know... Build Up.

I would.

Dual Pistol's mechanic is specifically designed and build for Dual Pistols and ONLY Dual Pistols. Are you seriously suggesting that the Devs should go and recode every single attack power up to 7 times to account for the various types of damage that could be converted?

You remember incorrectly. Poison Gas Arrow never had this effect.

PGA caused them to go into the choking emote which was played when the chance to Sleep kicked in, but it never caused the puking.

Really?
Really?!


We've HAD productive discussion. You brought up your "issues," we provided ways to get around it, you disappear for a bit then come right back with the exact same deal after a month or two.


If you think that was a flame, you are greatly mistaken.


No. The issue is that you refuse to learn. Also, these were NOT "normal conditions." The foe in question is in a custom arc and is a custom NPC that you yourself made. You cannot blame the game for a problem that you put yourself into.


Allows what? You to make a foe that you can't beat with a poorly constructed, team-oriented, non-debuffing character?


No, it is entirely the point. NOWHERE in the rest of the game is there an NPC that has Claws AND Ninjitsu. Heck, I don't even think there's any Ninjistsu NPCs, period.


How low? What powers were you running? How long did you wait? Details, please.

No.

50% -RES does not cancel out 50% RES. RES resists -RES. Assuming this hypothetical Defender did have 50% -RES, it would actually only give out 25% -RES since the 50% RES on the AV would resist 50% of the 50% -RES.

So...
(100 DPS - (100 DPS x (50% RES + (50% RES x -50% -RES))) - 25 REG=
(100 - (100 x (50% + -25%))) - 25 =
(100 - (100 x 25%)) - 25 =
(100 - 25) - 25 =
75 - 25 =
= 50
