Contrary to popular belief, redraw does not delay attack times. If you attack with an unslung rifle, versus drawing one by attacking, the time taken is the same. Don't hesitate to take powers from your secondary for fear of redraw, it's all in your head.

I'm curious where people got this idea from. I've done arena tests, and between two side by side computers hitting attack at the same time, the drawn weapon always hit first. It wasn't by terribly much, but it was noticeable.

Queue up an attack *after* the weapon-draw one and see if they don't hit at the same time.

AFAIK, the redraws are basically "time-shifted". If no redraw is needed, you get dead air at the end instead of the draw animation at the front... but the total time remains the same.

It was either Taunt or Purple Triangles of Doom. I stand by my decision!

I was thinking of getting munitions mastery on my MoC, would that be a bad idea?

the rocket + boost range sounds incredibly fun... :P

You are correct .

Weapon Drawn or sheathed the activation time is the same.

BAB has stated so.

So, basically, Mortimer is right as well. The person with the drawn weapon would hit first, but he would end up with a longer pause after the attack ends.

Hello all!

It has been about a year since my group quit to do other MMOs but we have seen the error of our ways. We are making an all corruptor group and so the account has been re-upped! Once I get my head around some of the changes (especially the IOs) I'll probably do an update....don't expect it any time soon though.

Whirlwind has some interesting uses for the AR blaster. The spinning animation of Whirlwind cancels out the rooting effect of Flamethrower and Full Auto.

This has me interested, as CP+WW+ corner+ kbm mob+ ignite was one of the first tatics I thought of.
Does the rooting still get canceled? If so than @_@
