Logged Ikube onto test. Unless this is just something I missed ages ago, it looks like they're trying to apply a pseudo assassin's strike functionality to Cloaking Device.
It doesn't work yet though.

Don't get attached to that. It got nixed and sent back to the drawing board.

Awww. Looking forward to what you come up in its place then.

Oh... and if you get the full test server notes, some other archtypes are getting reigned in bit as well. (Impale range change to 40', Fire Imps summon at -1 level to the controller).

Let me get in here ahead of the goofballs and just say that, as a scrapper, I think the Impale change is a very good one.

...Now give Scrappers pistols. 
Castle, we're ( us /Devs ) frankly ecstatic over the new ranged Taser. Thank you!
The fact you're working on the "Cloak Attack" is awful good news. Do get that up and running. I'll have my wife bake you cookies.
May I inquire my most serious of my Blaster issues, Targeting Drone? Could it have a +DAMAGE?
edit- that should have said "my Blaster issues" from the get go.
Am I reading correctly that some of the Fire/ stuff got damage nerfed?
Any buffs is good buffs.
I'm starting to get my hopes up that they might *finally* debug the base damage of Voltaic Sentinel....

no, the damage was increased by that amount. so the bonus ticks now dow 50% more damage than they use too. or by whatver the bonus is.
Level 50 is a journey, not a destination.

what about elec blast? that and ice manip need some love <
I've found I have little to complain about Elec Blast, at least in PvE.
Not experienced enough in PvP to make a call on that one.
The only beefs I have with Electric Blast in PvP are the rooting animations. other than that, it's pretty sweet, if used to it's full potential... and I've got a buttload of experience with it.
thats where it needs love, im rooted every time i use an attack :P
that and the dam is kinda meh
Hovering helps. Or at least looks cooler.

Any who, any chance we can get + range on targeting drone? maybe -range on smoke grenade as well? Please!

The damage isn't really all that different from most other Blaster primaries. At least as far as the two main single target attacks are concerned. That and the attacks are all energy. I think what people mean when they say this is Electric is lacking a third shorter range "powerhouse" single target attack. We get Sparky instead, which does suck pretty bad in PvP, admittedly.

Yeah. So uh, is Spines no longer considered a mistake with this?
If so, does that mean we can get Pistol Scrappers now, and have them work like the new Spines?

Alrighty, just ran a mission test with my 35 Fire/Dev. I respecced Taser back in to test its new range.
General Thoughts:
-The added damage to the DoT on Fire Blast attacks is nice. Not a huge bonus, but a nice little buff
-The increased range on Blaze is really, really, nice. Now I can use Fire Blast, step forward a little and get Blaze off.
-Tazer's range is nice. Its about the same as the old Blaze range, so its not super ranged, but its nice for stunning foes before they get into melee, or from range while Cloaked.
-Tazer's animation isn't changed. You still pull out the tazer and make the stabbing motion with it, you just do it at range now. There isn't any noticeable arc of energy from you to your target like the wires on the Tech Origin power.
Positive changes all in all, though I do think Devices still needs a damage boost added to one of its powers, such as Targetting Drone if the Cloaking Device stealth strike is permanently off the table.

Still would have liked to see fixes to Smoke Grenade to be autohit or not suppress stealth, but I'm definitely a bit more excited about ignite now!

Seriouly, I still want some more effective buffs for either AR/ or /Device. Increase range of Ignite? Don't have, don't want it, can't think of any positive way to use this without going insane after spamming web'nade on everything. Kinda scare for old Flamethrower, they said "Range increased slightly (good!) and recharge time changed (bad?)". No increase or decrease, just "changed" which I am taking as "bad, it got increased." So far the only postivite increase I have seen is taser, but thats just taser...no quick drop mines? no satellite view on TD, +50% ToHit and +1,000% perception (I am looking at you stalkers!)? No single target "INCOMMING! FIRE IN THE HOLE!" nuke to replace AT? Look at the damage! Ain't it a beatutiful thing!
