I don't think the extra damage from Envenomed Blades is a DoT - I think it just shows as a separate number for clarity.
I agree, Hawk did well. Pairing the two secondaries makes sense and this is good news for blasters and doms.Quote:Originally Posted by DarkCurrent
I'd say Martial Assault bodes well. It suggests a martial control set is to follow.
I also think the co-development with blasters is a good sign. If the 2 ATs get treated like the cousins they are, then more stuff will be coming for both as work on one equals work on the other.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a water assault in the pipeline for instance.
Oh, and I've been a loud critic of the lack of dev time for dominators in the past. So for me to get excited about this means hades has frozen over. -
Very nice.

*smiles slowly*

Well...Zwill was Dev hacking...and the guys he were testing the powers on were dummies so it made a lot of the powers seem "meh" BUT we will see.
Burst of Speed looked sooooo impressive...it's just hard to top it! -
>.>
I would love an optic blast set...I actually somewhat like Cyclops's Powers *ducks the tomatoes*.
I also wanted a Fireworks Power Set but not happenin' lol.
I guess fire is good enough *sigh* -

Fear Noir was born tonight, thanks guys.
So was Feardom (on the Freedom server)... I think I like the first more, but they'll keep. I also debating going with "Itself" (nothing to fear...), but I decided against it.
/Dark Affinity is awesome and I'm very familiar with Dark miasma but Fade and Soul Absorption...omg SA is sooo awesome.
In fact I like SA more than Speed Boost! -
Go with Dark/Dark Chris it's a solid combo for sure. Cold meshes well with Dark Control but I like paired up with Illusion more.

Dugfromearth are you talking about the old Sunspot or the new one?
Even in the beginning Sunspot could still take some mean hits...he couldn't take a bullet but he could take some punishment. Now's he VERY durable. -
Quote:Oh yeah, Nal. People have been requesting for MA for blasters (any Ranged AT actually) since forever. I also remember there being non official COH Forum threads discussing MA for Ranged ATs popping up everywhere when I first started playing in 07.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
In my defense, I only ever saw a true desire for a Martial Arts secondary after Dual Pistols dropped. Doesn't change the fact that Butane's comment is akin to saying it took man 1800 years to invent the light bulb. There's no truth to that; we just didn't have the right people for the job yet. Same goes for Paragon Studios.
The reason why you didn't get to see it often was because it normally was shot down pretty fast...kinda like how the Whips for Doms and the Dual Pistols threads were shot down very quickly...1 out of 2 aint bad no? -
Quote:I would love to see something done with the Junk...also this will be good for me since I've always wanted to lvl a spines toon but could never stomach it.Originally Posted by John_Printemps
You know, I was thinking about it, does anyone remember when Castle was the one running powers and said (loosely) "If [we] look at Spines, it most likely wont come back out of the operating room like it is now."?
I'm not saying I expect the current team to be in the same mind-set, but Spines is more than likely going get Proliferated, and with it they've said "We've changed some things." So far the only thing mentioned has been casually that they've "improved" Barb Swipe and Lunge, but not really said they had or hadn't reviewed the rest of the set as well. For the most part, change in this game trends towards the better; but that still has me curious if they've gone through and cleaned house a little on all the secondary junk that Spines carries (Slows, Toxics, Immoblize, -Rech).
This also might be great for Doms. I would love to see Impale get a shorter cast time and maybe a shorter cast time for Thorn Burst and Thorny Darts.
Other than that I think Thorny Assault isn't bad....well besides the redraw. -
So the snipe is high damage by its self with a chance for DOT lethal...I will have to wait till I24...I'm not a fan of snipes.
Dragons Tail which is nice actually since it does KD.
Exploding Shuriken looks fun...but I would like to see the numbers for it. ST Nuke with Splash..hrmm.
Envenomed Blades will be my 2nd favorite probably. I can see it working very well with Immobs.
Trick Shot will be my favorite of all because I love Chain attacks...in fact I would love to make an Elec/MA Dominator for crazy chaining action!
Hopefully Trick Shot takes most of the same pros Chain Induction takes. -
I might have to look at the set in the vid again....it seemed underwhelming...but I'm comparing it to the blaster version which is OH so beautiful.
With the Dom version the powers that I liked the most was Caltrops and the exploding shuriken.
EDIT: Here's where the vid starts on the topic of dominators.

What REALLY killed me is the face Arbiter Hawk & Zwill made when someone asked how that Ice Control/TA build was coming!
*Gurgle*

Look at them! They should be ashamed lol. -
Quote:Exactly. Thanks Local ^__^.Originally Posted by Local_Man
I think he is asking about your expected playstyle with this character.
Teams or solo? Most of my controllers are team-oriented but able to solo slowly if I don't have a team. However, if I expect the controller to solo most of the time, I will make a different build.
Melee or ranged? Again, the build will be different if you have a tendecy to run into melee vs. generally stay at the edges. Some people like to play Controllers like a scrapper, while others like to stay back and be more of a field general.
Moderate price or mega-expensive? You can have a very effective character at a moderate price. -
I was actually more shocked that Synapse goes for the melee toons more than the new powersets...
Well at least Hawk plays what I normally play.
In all seriousness though I admit I didn't care one bit about blasters getting a melee set...I didn't even care much for Doms getting it either but after watching this weeks coffee talk...wow.
I'm impressed...and I want to roll a new blaster more than a dom...this is a first for me!
Burst of Speed won me over for sure. -
Or we could...if the game had the ability...we could do Ivy Shenanigans...but her Whip powers are so HAX heh.
I still love her though. -
I never really cared about Martial Arts for blasters an-wait...you said that...Dominators what?
*gets up*
I guess I need to watch this Weeks Talk heh. -
Quote:Yeah, it's a late blooming set. In my opinion /Cold's first amazing power is Benumb which you get at level 28 and from then on it gets down right amazing.Originally Posted by ChrisMoses
I've been debating Dark/Ice Vs. Dark/Dark. I haven't played any of these sets involved extensively, though I've started /Ice once or twice and fizzled out in the teens... That one seems to be another late bloomer.
I maybe can help with your decision ChrisMoses. What do you want out of your toon? -

You ran into the hawtness that is Dark Ring Mistress. Thats all it takes to kill a tank.
So true. I hate her so much lol. Especially if I'm playing a squishie. -
I wouldn't mind seeing the particle whips we have currently in game...but I have a feeling that a lot of players would want the real thing.
-
Well you are Psychoti. maybe one of the Mods helped you out a bit! ^__^ ( I know that's not how it works...work with me here)

I mock your disappointment. I've run it 23 times and zero procs.
