Ouch, that sounds pretty terrible. Hope everything's going better for you now, though, and can't wait to see my finished piece when you're done!

Yay. I needed this.

The upper arm plates below the shoulderpads that Crab/Bane Spider armor normally has aren't available on the Huge body types.

Here's a pic of what I'm referring to, and a sample pic of a Huge crab spider without it. Is this intentional or accidentally left out?

Chain and Barb Wire Wrap options still can't be used with hats like they used to be able to on all body types.

Male characters can't use Cycloptic visors with hoods.

The new Enforcer fists clip noticeably with the overhanging hand bracer things when animating attacks or otherwise. Perhaps make them unmoveable like pirate hooks or robotic claws?

Ooh. Thanks!

Wow, talk about thread necro.

I don't feel like going through and reading the entire thread now, so here's what I want to say/suggest...

I feel a bit weak with claws when I'm using focus next to another stalker using impale. There's maybe a 5-7 damage difference between impale and focus(impale being stronger) and when that get's built up and crit's, it turns into something like a 20-30 damage difference((I may be exagerating, but it's there)). Perhaps if we brought the focus power slightly up in damage?

Then I have a seccond issue with the eviscerate power. My focus power was slotted up for three damage, and evis. had two. Each gives about 30%, right? My focus was doing 108 if I remember correctly, while evis did about 105. Now, I know I didn't have that last damage slot that would have made a difference, but that would only bring it up to around 125-130 damage... Anybody else feel like that's kinda low for such a long animation and superior damage? Yeah, it's arguable that the crit chance outside of hide may make up for it... But I just never found it outweighed the drawbacks.

Impale has a longer animation, slightly more recharge, and immob and -fly as opposed to KD - which is a lot better in PvE.

Evisc only does slightly more than Focus.

Claws is the 'fast, sustained damage' set. Spines is slightly more oddball - but those are pretty minor damage differences.

I'm all for an Evisc buff, though. Focus is harder to justify.

Costumes and storyline seem to have the support they need, anyway, so I put my vote in for the underdog.

Go PvP.

One of my mains. Vortex Reborn.

That would be kinda cool. Form an SG/VG sorta like the Taxibots and sit around in Pocket D answering questions about the Arenas. Make the SG outfit look like a referee's uniform. That'll give the PvP community a good rep with the rest of the Co* community if we keep it civil and friendly.

I like that idea.

You mean 'stop', right?

It might be me, but "Let's try and focus the discussion on things we can do under the current systems?" just sounds like "Hey, guys, think of some fixes we won't have to spend valuable dev time on already, kthx."

Well, at least he's honest.

Neato.

Niiiiiiice.

Thanks!

How much more asian can you get than a lotus? And a dragonfly! And a wasp!

Eagles are AMERICAN!

Katana has...Dragon, Dragonfly, Wolf, Wasp, and...wait, does Gambler count as an animal? Let's say no. And a lotus is a damn plant. 4.

MA has Crane, Dragon, Cobra, and Eagle. And a Warrior might just be counted as a human animal like the gambler, but let's just ignore that for the time being. So, 4 too.

I'd say they're about even.

You touch my Spine Burst (for scrappers), YOU DIE.

I love the OH GOD I'M EXPLODING IN PAIN animation.

(edit: doh, thought this was the scrapper forum)

Wait, Katana and Martial Arts both have animal AND asian names.

YOU ARE CONFUSING

Unbelievably, Impale is 80' range.

Disclaimer: No, that does not imply an impending range reduction for impale or increase for Focus.

Can you teach my Katana Scrapper to throw his like Tom Cruse in "The Last Samurai"?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would give my leftnut for a ranged attack on Katana. Not having one has made me shelve my scrapper for a while. I don't see why we can't have one if Claws gets one except for the fact that we get -def. Either way, I'd love a ranged attack for Katana.


[/ QUOTE ]

'cause Katana's already pretty awesome?

You get a huge damage knockdown 10'-line attack with +critical, a strong damage ST knockup, a powerful PBAoE, a nice-arc cone, and you're damn near invincible vs melee/lethal damage with stacked DA. What more do ya want?

Spines a much better set in Siren's because you get 2 GREAT attacks in Impale and in Ripper. Sometimes I just fly around looking for fliers to bring them down.

I love just using Impale dropping them then either finishing them off or I just fly off to find another to drop. It's very funny and fun.

Spines is an amazing set because of versatility whereas Claws completely relies on Focus.

Hope this helps

Um lemme see: So spines has impale (high damage ranged attack) and ripper (high damage cone) whereas claws has focus (high damage ranged attack) and eviscerate (superior damage cone)......how does this make spines better?

[/ QUOTE ]

Never go by power descriptions.

Ripper's 'High' damage is more than Evisc.'s 'Superior' damage, surprisingly enough. Same thing for Impale and Focus, even though they're both 'High'.

Bah. I'm still refining my guide.

...someone's very easily influenced, I see.

I use the same cloth I use to clean my sunglasses.

Works for me.
