I hear ya I suffer from the set too. Probably for me the most dissapointing set for me out of all the sets from all the ATs.

for me its missing a third single target power. there just isnt enough blast in that blaster set.
Electrical blast without the blast.

I´m always waiting for a change in it, but no luck .

charged bolts and lightning bolts are ok and the usual tier 1 and 2.
thunderous blast is a nice nova, but of course situatinal.
zapp is your usual snipe, but again situational.
ball of lightning is ok as a ranged aoe, like fireball.
aim is, well aim .

now here is where for me the problem in regular gameplay comes in.
we have short circuit, tesla cage, and voltaic sentinel.

short is circuit is ok, but since we have a deficit in st ranged its negative points stand out
for me. It is a pbaoe which is so so for a squishy toon, and non top of that it has a 3 second animation, mixed with an aoe to get the attention of not one but several toons. not a fan of it.

tesla cage. a hold, yeah it can be useful, but i´m a blaster and i want to blast. with just 2 ranged st powers i feel something is missing.

voltaic sentinel. hmm well in regular gameplay paying attention to something every minute to see if its up and casting it so often is annoying as hell. and for what it does....pff
i´ve tried it and just couldnt get used to it. It´s just not practical at all. not going to work for lots and lots of people. Would mind it being there as an option to try or for those that can use it. (but I would try it and respec it out).


Even rad blast has that tier 1 and tier 2 and a third power like cosmic burst which is short range and has a mez, but does nice damage.
I know this has been mentioned before, but maybe they could give tesla cage damage and reduce the range or eliminate the -end as compensation. And rads Pbaoe cast in about one second where elecs casts in about 3.

I just dont like the idea that the devs might have for elec. The -end isn´t as fanasticly fun as too compensate for taking away so much of the blast away from electricity.

Electricity just screams out BLAST.

I went to check just in case and found the following in the HeadStart announcement page:

"And for the first week ONLY, you'll be able to get:

6 Character Transfers for 480 Paragon Points or $6! (one time purchase)"

There are other products that last 2 weeks, such as the 20% discount on beam rifle or the 50% off of the revive or restore powers.

The issue was launched on the 13th but some problems occured and Avatea wrote the following in one post:

"Good News!

We now estimate that all servers will be back online no later than 5:30 p.m. PDT / 8:30 p.m. EDT / 1:30 a.m. BST / 2:30 CEST. However, due to unforeseen technical circumstances, the Paragon Market and accumulated bonus Paragon Points players have been earning since July 1st, 2011 will not be available for the remainder of the evening. We will continue to work through the night to make the Paragon Market, and your bonus points, available as soon as is possible.

What does this mean? All VIP Players will still have access to any in game bonus directly associated with their VIP subscription including, but not limited to, the Time Manipulation Power Set, the new IDF and Defense costume parts and all associated content. Players will not be able to purchase Paragon Market exclusive content such as the Beam Rifle Power Set or make any purchases from the Paragon Market. We do sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Please note, as a result of this delay, we will be extending the sale of 6 server transfers for $6.00 USD for 24 hours.

So jump on and join your fellow City of Heroes Freedom players in exploring all of the new content in First Ward, experience the all new Death From Below Sewer Trial and fight your way through the Underground Incarnate Trial!

note the extension is on the sale of 6 server transfers for 6 dollars and lasts another 24 hours.
Now today is the 20th and the launch date was the 13th. Add in the 24 hour extension and that offer should be available still.

say, now that you mention bots/traps.... wouldnt a bots/time improve on it?
- the damage part and mez protection it seems bots/time would be a bit tougher.

generally agree.

I´m not 100% sure, but I think I voted for Growth back then. The idea sounded interesting.

sounds good.


first time i saw it I thought about SuperJump O_o.

I was thinking, "wth are they talking about", for a second or two. lol

Yep I dont feel that comfortable with the martial arts set either. I always end up not playing it. Not there for me yet.
and SS or EM definitely dont have that feel to them. SS is ok, but its something very different.

I wonder how SJ will turn out. Be fun to see some combo in it with transitions from Striking to Trapping to Holds. That would be some very nice combo work. Would make for an extremely fun set and some dynamic play. Lots of possiblities there to play around with.

Yep

will consider that.
was concidering mu, but i´ll give that ice some thought.

btw does jolting chain change in later levels? How long it lasts or something?
right now it hits once and thats it. not liking it as a control power.

Static field is nice though. Those other sleep powers I did not like, but this once is a nice way of making a sleep power more useful.
