Well, simply put;
Are Power Pool Attacks just as useful in PvE as in PvP?


I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.

I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

PVP: not the same game. I mean, it wasn't before, but now... not the same game.

PVE: Yes, power pool attacks are "almost as good" as some basic attacks. But once you start hitting the good stuff at 18 or 26 or 32, they don't compare.

Because, in some massive fail of reasoning, damage powers were standardized in PvP based on animation time. While I think animation times should be considered, making a big standard like they did caused usual "heavy hitters" to become pointless, and things like Flurry became monsters.

Flares and Blaze are "about the same" only because they animate in about the same time. I don't know specific damage numbers at this time in PvP, but since they animate in 1 second, I'm going to bet that they're both at the lower end.
