a secondary completely comprised of toggles? or are you thinking of something like trick arrow where you get different bullets with different effects (like "tumbler bullet" or "Hollow Point" etc). We have Trick Arrow for that and now we not only have a vanilla primary in DP but now we also have a TA knockoff. And TA isnt even used all that much so why further reduce the amount of people using the set just so they can use it's knockoff?

im not a math genius but could someone find out what is the increase in average DPS is with Aim on a blaster. such as if i used Aim every time it was up (with 3 recharge SO's lets say) and fully unloaded on a group. howmuch extra DPS would i contribute compared to without Aim?

That way we can say "Aim adds an extra +X% in DPS so lets make the Dual Pistol's Toggle ability also give +X% DPS. This is another reason i wanted it to be another damage type. If it is a simple flat damage boost to lethal damage then theres no point in having the flat damage boost since it is equal to Aim. With it being a different damage type you have created a damage boost that is equal to Aim yet doesn't just give a simple damage boost but instead allows the Dual Pistoleer to do two different damage types. The Double damage types would also help the Lethal Damage nature of Dual Pistols fight agianst enemies that have strong Lethal Resistance/Defense, such as Robots.
Other things that could be a toggle:
+Recharge Speed on Primary power pool (I.E. only dual pistol powers in our scenario)
+Accuracy: same as targeting drone, not a favorite of mine
+Chance to Knockdown/Stun/Immobolize/Etc
+Chance to hit multiple targets (i dont even think this is do-able but having a chance to turn an attack into a small AoE or a chain-effect would be neat)
+Endurance Discount
The list goes on.

make it to where the AE gives Zero exp but still gives tickets. Tickets can then be turned in for the same rewards or have an EXP boost as a reward as well? nevermind.. i can see problems with that as well...

I'm a sad panda

I'm with you Miss_Blue.. im playing a Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game solo.. lets call it a YGPOYOG "Your Gonna Play On Your Own Game"
i love acronyms!

grab power push and shove kinetic crash into that. (thats assuming you have all of the powers you want and have extra attack slots you want to fill up)

Energy Torrent does good damage so give it Positron's Blast, not Kinetic

I actually use "How to play a blaster" now i know how to play a blaster.... on my Defender

agreed, stone needs a buff. give it +50% recharge and +300% Enhanced Damage because theres no way that Stone can compete with Shield... or Dark.. or Fire...

i frankenslot Fulmens... its ok buddy

it is. Scrapper's TC range is 7ft, Stalkers is 10ft

Edit: the arc is the same (90 degrees)

Don't You love it when: You respec and it turned out to be just what you wanted

Don't you hate it when: You have all the powers you want but can't decide between Power Push and Repel? (So i took both! double Kinetic Crash yay!)

Ahoy Matey!!!

thanks!

I like the New Dominator proposal and your math shows me all i need to agree with _Castle_'s proposal.

bravo

yeah i'd give my money to SS/Fire. Rage, Blazing Aura, Foot Stomp and early KNOCKOUT BLOW makes things very fun and full of SMASH the whole way to 50.

Yeah Brimstone has its 100% right. Illusion/Sotmr is the most chaotic combination you can get. you'll be laughing madly while Hurricane and your Phantoms throw everything to the 4 corners of the Earth.

I'm working on a Thugs/Poison at the moment and it is pretty fun. im already on relentless at level 8 if that means anything to you.

and stalkers are fun. Ninja Blade and Dual Blades have cool animations that fit well for Stalkers.

Can't go wrong being a /Kin really. You get a heal, damage capped all the time once you have Fulcrum shift. Siphon Speed is great and once you get Transference your endurance problems vanish (infact sometimes i forget that i even have endurance)

I like it Alt-holic!
but it'll never happen <sniffle>

James i like your number 2 idea the most although i dont know how you would target two enemies at once like you said. It could be a chain-lightning type effect but then you wouldn't have the option of picking the second target.

the toggles dont necessarily have to be elemental damage. they could be (like others have said, not taking credit here) a chance to critical or a chance to stun. the possibilities are quite numerous, not limited to elemental damages although that is what i enjoyed about the gunslinger from Malta (evil little.. grr).

You also contradict yourself by saying "I don't want Trick Pistols" but you want all of these debuffing shots like crippling and -speed. I really don't want that either. Dual Psitols is also a damage set so people will most likely over look the secondary effects unless the damage is set to minor and the attack is specifically made for the effect. And history shows many of those kinds of attacks are chosen second to the primary damage attacks.

If you don't enjoy my idea (which is fine) then lets think of some other things we could add to dual pistols, or other sets that would keep them from being a vanilla set that was made back when the game began.

Finally, the toggles don't have to be a hinderance. I don't want an animation with a reload and all that (thats cumbersome and no other weapon set has that like others have suggested). but make it just a click power thats automatically on with minimal down time and a low endurance cost so you don't feel as if DP is an endurance heavy set.

Illusion/Rad controllers are the best AV soloers.

i havent heard of many defenders soloing AVs although it is perfectly possible.

Controllers cant easily infact solo AVs, if not easier than Defenders, but that is a different topic.

Hmm alot of people are saying its a unique idea! (thanks for the support!) but also alot of you have said that it cant be done due to the game engine.

Considering we have procs in the game why not make it a toggle that has a change to proc. The proc chance would naturally be 100% thus it will always proc.

by the way, the way i envisioned it is that only 1 toggle could be on at a time, or else there wouldn't be a point in them being toggles (they would just be on automatically).

But agian, thanks for honest opinions and constructive critisism!
