Ok... make sure and read the DATE of the posts you're responding to. This thread has 17 pages of last year's posts!

And the one guy who started this back up is laughing his [censored] off right now.

Zeus - god of laughing

Any bets on which primaries shine and which ones shudder? My vote for underdogs are electricity and ice.

Ice, the underdog? Ice has the best single-target damage of any of the Blaster primaries..

Irrelevant to the point at hand, which is overall performance.

I quote Lewis Carroll's Mad Hatter: "But it was the BEST butter!"

I boggle that this thread still exists.

I'm not upset by it, mind you.

It exists because players asked that threads with dev posts be maintained for possible reference quote use.

It does not exist to beat a dead horse. Start a fresh thread, please.

Yes, you must use a fresh dead horse... or is that a freshly dead horse? Damned if I can remember which horse this was.

I guess this means no one likes the % chance toggle drop idea.

Well, to be perfectly honest, I'd much rather see them improve the wonderful effects it already has than give it a slew more side effects that are mediocre...

Either that or quit muxing with it's effectiveness at least. That 1/4 effectiveness in PvP on end drain was a real kick in the teeth.

Click_Beetle · 05-31-2005 03:41 PM

I'm not sure how they would go about improving on it, since the problems with end drain do not reside in the powers but in the characteristics of the mobs themselves. 'S why I thought it might be useful to tack on something else that's still thematic and would be useful.

SkunkWerks · 05-31-2005 03:44 PM

Well, let me put it this way: a little more end drain on the standard attacks would be nice. I shouldn't have to slot for it just to SEE that it's having an effect.

But yeah, Short Circuit works quite nice.

I apologize if I come off as a forum fascist, but surely there is a way to succintly condense this sprawled-out thread into a Pilcrow-esque new OP that advances the central topic better?

No offense taken. Just me being an incorrigable goofball. As for organization, it'd probably be better if such a thread made it's debut on the Blaster forum in the first place, eh?
