The Ultimate Slap in the Face

You know I think I could actually live with the long animations if my toon was doing something the whole time.

Like if for the first part of TF he did some kind of power up move to show the focus part and did a quick jump and smash I could live with that. If I did more than look at my hands before I punched someone with ET I could live with that.

1000 cuts for example has a very long animation, but it is only really noticable when you miss or when you kill everything in the first few hits. When your toon is always moving, it gives the illusion of speed even when it is not there.

The problem is that EM now is too slow for Brutes. It's still fine on Stalkers and Tankers, even though my Stalker sometimes kills corpses with the new ET (and he used to 'killsteal' others with the same power before.... Poor regens in i12 pvp couldn't activate Dull Pain and died from AS+ET, I miss those days).

I wish EM got the same larger radius on whirling hands that Doms got in i15. And that Total Focus were a NORMAL jump, not a slow-motion one.

What if Whirling Hands got a buff?

Well in the history of slaps in the face, that one hardly seems worthy of being called the 'Ultimate'.

This.

Also, my EM/Elec is stripped at 46, with no plans to go back to him. Partly because there are so many better choices than Elec post-IOs, and partly because EM's one trick pony (uber ST dmg) has gone.

Maybe I'll get back to him for character reasons someday. I did like the concept...

For the most part, golden dragonfly is similar animation to total focus, but runs about half the time I'd be ok with TF getting a 1.83 sec cast and keeping ET slow. Both attacks being slow is teh suck.

I think we're all forgetting the benefits of EM's end recovery power, ie; using it's two hardest hitting attacks and watching all of thier end return before they finish. Not only that, but this end recovery has a shorter recharge than any other in the game.

NERF EM!

Not only that, but for brutes it has the beneficial feature of actually lowering your fury.

And people think EM is lame, what up with that?

That's not really a beneficial feature, unless you're worried about threat, or making scrappers cry thier delicious scrapper tears.

True story: Scrapper tears taste like bacon.
