any numbers on the shield?

When CoV was still in beta, there were some early discussions on the beta boards about the uselessness of hold in PvP due to break-frees.

Same issues still exists today, however someone then suggested something then that has stuck with me. What if holds had a secondary effect, like most attacks, that was put into effect upon a successful hit with your hold, was unresistable (not subject to break-frees), and lasted the length of the hold (so if the hold went into effect it would go un-noticed, therefore only being of use if a break-free was used or the hold used on a hold resistant target). This way a hold power could still have an effect on combat, even when its primary purpose was being defeated by something like a break-free.

Any thoughts? Most likely would require some game re-engineering and would probably end up acting similar to a debuff (and therefore be opposed by defenders/corruptors), so I am not sure how viable an idea, but I thought I would bring it up.

I like this idea, I find it unfair that if they break our hold we become next to defenceless. A slow component, or acc debuff, or -jump, fly would be really fun AND useful.

i lead with Will Dom, knock'em back with TK, pin'em with Subdue, and finish'em with the MB -> Psy Scream combo. if that doesn't take themem out in one round, i repeat. now i know we all wish the status effect for the blast set would work like its SUPPOSED to, but it doesn't so i think, again, we should stop ripping on how much the power set sucks, and start posting out ideas on what would make it better.

ALL other AT's have done it and we should start doing it too. psyblast is a potent power, it works EXCELLENT for ALL the villans who have it, but the hero version is awful in its status effect.

a lvl41 Portal mission against the ClockKing and his minions, who all possess psionic attacks, destroyed my team just last night (10-27-04). all be cause their psy attacks were sleeping, pinning, and reducing their attack rates soo badly no one could recover.

Psionic energy IS the most powerful attack in the game simply because IT hits when all else fails, and i think its time the hero version starts reflecting that. because its a psychic power it should have a inherent Accuracy bonus!! it seems as if all villian versions hit more often than the hero version.

no i call to arms, ALL my psyblast heros, stop naggin to each other about why ur power sucks and tell it to the DEVS! we need improvement on this!

I luv you!

People need to realise that psy isn't a bad set, but that it could be perfect with a few minor tweaks. Mental Blast's damage is ok, and its endurance cost to, but its activation time and speed is horendous! Your right, we should all stop whinning and get together! I agree, I've faced psy vilains and I can tell you I'm more afraid of them than they are of me.

They should up our secondary effects, making the slow apparent, the sleep longer and the immobilize and knockup effect more consistent, considering we dont do blaster damage. And this isn't a cry for more damage, I accept that my damage dealing abilities are my SECONDARY power set. But this should not mean that we don't have the right to have secondary abilities which complement our primaries, just like every other archetype.

and its true, vilains hit much more often with psy than I do... which is curious. (and I have accuracy in all my attacks as well as tactics fully slotted)
