Patron Powers: Captain Mako - Leviathan Mastery

Cricket_NA · 05-01-2006 12:42 PM

This thread is solely for discussions regarding the Patron Powers from Captain Mako. From the Issue 7 Training Room Patch Notes:

Patron Powers

High level villains may complete a series of missions to gain favor with one of the faction leaders of Arachnos, gaining access to a new power pool. A villain may only have one patron during their career, so choose carefully.

Captain Mako - Leviathan Mastery
Captain Mako will embolden you with the knowledge of the Coralax and their mysterious powers over the seas."

Details on each archetype can be found in the patch notes. All off topic posts will be removed. Please do not post bugs/feedback/balance issues before testing this content.

So none of the Patron Powers offers a hold at 41?

Villains will be at somewhat of a disadvantage in the 40-50 PvP zone until 44 at minimum, because all Heroes can get holds at 41.

Grand_Hustle · 05-01-2006 04:52 PM

do all pets only last 4 mins?

Yes

Bile Spray. Bile Spray!

Bile Spray is wrong on every level.

Give us CHUM SPRAY!

Looking at the Mu numbers...looks like Sharks do more damage, cost less end, rechage faster. but Mu has better secondary effects.

In other words.

GHOST SHARKS 4 TEH WIN!

When I managed to get onto test initially I was looking at the Patron Pool info plaques in Grandville and I noticed that CHUM Spray (please Dev's, get rid of the Bile!) was listed as doing unenhanced damage of 30 (at level 40) across all the AT's that have access to it (Brutes, MMs, Dominators). This struck me as odd considering we know that ATs have differing damage modifiers - in terms of ranged damage: Brutes have 50%, MM's 55%, Domi's 65% (of Blaster damage).

Does this mean Brute Chum Spray is relatively more powerful in terms of Damage Scale than MM (and in turn Domi) Chum Spray and that the AT modifiers bring them all in line to make them all deal 30 unenhanced at level 40?

Any word on what Shark Skin looks like?

SDragon · 05-01-2006 09:52 PM

I thought it was Pasive...

grubstreeter1 · 05-02-2006 08:49 AM

I think it's a toggle.

I too would like to know what the graphic effect of Shark Skin is, if any.

extrapolation · 05-02-2006 08:50 AM

it's auto not a toggle

Iggylove · 05-02-2006 09:06 AM

Shark Skin
* Self +RES (S/L, Cold)
* END: 1 unit/sec

I don't understand, Shark Skin is auto like the "fitness" pool? Why does it have a 4 sec recharge or is that a typo?

FYI - If it's a typo then it's Cryptic's. I'll check the statue again today when work cools down.

Is that a 'normal' END value for an auto?
If it's indeed an auto then I hope the actual RES value is more 'togglish'.

That would suck if it was an auto.

You can't recover end at ALL unless you're running Stamina! Whee!

Cyclone_Jack · 05-02-2006 09:38 AM

There is a type-o in the notes. You somehow misspelled Chum. I know it's an easy word to miss-type, so we forgive you. Please update the notes. Thanks!

Sorry IBM I meant Cryptic, I should have been more clear and I appreciate you posting the (available) numbers on all the threads.

Vathailos · 05-02-2006 09:58 AM

FYI, all you "chum" fans, you need to know what that word means. "Chum" is the bait used to lure sharks, composed of ground bits of meat (usually fish) and blood. Water is "chummed" by scattering this mixture into the water, and the scent of it then attracts sharks.

I'm guessing the reason it was changed to "Bile" spray was for more correct representation.

If you're one of those who subscribe to the "chumz0rz iz k3wl!" camp, you might also think "d34th n1nj4hz spr4yz0rz" is k3wl too, but you won't get my vote there either .

Perhaps they could change it to something more Coral-centric? My vote would be "Toxin Jet" or something. A coral reef holds many mysteries. Chum, however, isn't one of 'em.

Which the shark eats, and then subsequently barfs up all over you, causing you to flail and moan loudly about how hard it is to get the stains out of your suit and cape. Meanwhile, the shark is busy gnawing on your legs.

We know what chum is. You know what bile is? It's a fat emulsifier. It helps lipids dissolve in water in the intestines. It's not any more accurate... and about 300 times less cool.

Viva la Chum Spray!

grey_gloves · 05-02-2006 11:26 AM

does fury effect the Patron attack powers or am i wishing for too much?

Tal_N · 05-02-2006 11:32 AM

Fury effects almost all powers, even the Warburg nukes and PPPs.

Remember in the trailer, there was an "hourglass" looking toggle? Well, that was an "icon" for a Patron, as you will see when you enter the main room. Shark Skin will probably look like that as well, with Mako's "wavy" "icon" flashing.
