Hrm, old KO Blow is much better than the new, but the other animations look pretty hot.

Cims have extra stun protection from their shields and from the boss's [Shout of Command]. I suspect that is what happened there.

There are a few vids up from Comic Con, one of which shows some of (all of?) the powers from Earth Assault. Mud Pots!? Really?

[/ QUOTE ]

From earlier in the thread, and confirmed by other CC attendees:

1. Stone Spears (4 sec rech, 2.1 sec animation)
2. Stone Mallet
3. Tremor
4. Hurl Boulder (8 or 10 sec rech, 2.5 sec animation)
5. Power Boost
6. Heavy Mallet
7. Seismic Smash
8. Mud Port
9. Fissure

This is pretty much what it seems like to me. I know that the teleport/kb hits before the stun does (that's why mobs will shoot you before they're stunned), but the two effects have always been paired. Meaning if you hit them with the first, the stun hits too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not quite true, actually. Wormhole is one of the few powers where the effects occur at the start of the animation. The Stun is set to kick in 2.6s after the start, and the TP/KD is set to occur 2.7s after the start. This is why you can sometimes see mobs do the stun animation before the teleport. It's also why Mobs attack the instant you start the wormhole animation.

Otherwise, yeah the two effects should always be paired. I'll do some testing and see if I can see what's up.

I don't see it posted anywhere else, but if it's already been posted, my bad.

I was at Comic Con today and got to play with the new character creator.

That includes seeing the Earthen Assault powers, and they are

1. Stone Spears (4 sec rech, 2.1 sec animation)
2. Stone Mallet
3. Tremor
4. Hurl Boulder (8 or 10 sec rech, 2.5 sec animation)
5. Power Boost
6. Heavy Mallet
7. Seismic Smash
8. Mud Port
9. Fissure

[/ QUOTE ]

I expect some changes. Fissure and Stone Spears use the exact same animation as Stalagmites. Stone Spears even use the same hit effect. Tremor is just crap with it's low damage and loooooong animation.

Hurl Boulder is just ick...

I really, really, like Fissure and the melee focus of the set. Even Elec isn't this focused on melee. Power Boost is kinda meh, but I think I can live with it.


If I was making the set it would be:

1: Fling Rock
2: Stone Fist
4: Gravel (the Igneous cone attack)
10: Stone Mallet
16: Power Boost (would give my left kidney for Earth's Embrace)
20: Heavy Mallet
28: Fissure
35: Mudpots
38: Seismic Smash

You already posted in the other thread. If no-oe got back to you just send them another tell.

Sounds identical to me.

Congrats! Enjoy your character. Remember, there is no harm in trying out ALL the powers. In fact when one or more power sets are new to you, it is a good idea. Later, say in the late 20s or early 30s, you can respec and drop the ones you didn't like.

Have fun!

I agree . . . kind of. Think twice about trying out Dimension Shift . . .

My Thugs/Dark MM just, on a whim because I hadn't tried it or any other Intangibility power before, took Black Hole at 35. I have a Dark/Elec defender, but had never tried Black Hole because I heard that it stinks. I tried it, and it does. Stink, I mean -- big time. I can see a rare situation or two where it might be useful if I remember that I have it and use it, but frankly, I'd rather take the debt. That power is going bye-bye the moment I get around to using a Respec. Ugh.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, it can be marginally useful for thinning out the Freedom Phalanx if you run LRSFs a lot... Otherwise, yeah not much use.

Some of the Costume Change Emotes put you in unique stances when used while airborne.

my question is, who'd take up offer to even have a one night stand with mako...

...the same person who'd have a one night stand with Gila?

I would skip is flash arrow, and you will be required to take it as a corruptor.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm? Why is that?

Two minutes of build-up for ten seconds of debuff? Yes please.

Eh, not badass enough.

Dark Miasma/Dark Servant (all versions): Fixed a bug that caused this power to state that it would except Recharge Intensive Pet enhancement sets. Since this pet cannot be slotted for damage, it should never have been able to accept these types of enhancements.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um, excuse me?

While Dark Servant does not take damage, it is not permanent until killed. Which means it actually does need to be up faster than it recharges normally at times.

I really wonder if the developers just hate Dark Miasma on general principle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, all the other sets that DS has access to have recharge components. Makes more sense to slot ToHitDebuff/Recharge than Damage/Recharge in a pet that deals minimal damage but major debuffing.

They can only get XP running the Paragon City or Rogue Island farms....

I think it doesn't really matter what the set is called.

[/ QUOTE ]

It apparently does since they nerfed the hell out of moment of glory. Because it wasn't a moment...

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they buffed MoG because it didn't actually improve survivability. In fact, it actually worsened it.

Hopefully, I said hopefully. Don't take it as a guarantee.

They do need Acc. The Vine's that pop up have two attacks each, a ranged and a melee, and those are not autohit.

I think it doesn't really matter what the set is called.

Soon. Steiner has it mostly finished, so hopefully it will be out by the end of the weekend.

Pics of this sword? Is it the same as the Artemis swords?
