Increased Radius on Tactical Trainings

Virtual_Fighter · 07-13-2009 03:48 AM

Yeah, I shamelessly admit my reasons are solely PvP based...

But it wouldn't be to much to ask for would it?

60ft. just isn't much coverage in PvP. Surely they could be increased to 150ft. or so. I don't see how this could have any OP'd effect on PvE could it?

Any thoughts?

Actually I think they should just make it 300 yards. That sounds perfectly reasonable.

I agree...

But 900ft. set off the sarcasm detector.

I'd be fine with 0.038 of a mile though.

Alright, seriously though I think 80 feet is already exceptionally good (best in game IIRC for this kind of buff) and 150 feet sounds, well, way too much. I mean, in PvE you could be fighting a different group than your teammates 120 feet away and they'd get the buff ; it kind of makes no sense in my opinion and removes the tactical aspect (as little as it might be) of these powers - in regards to that I'd be inclined to think the radius is already too much as it is, which might be why I have a hard time supporting this idea.

Now if they could change it just for PvP without affecting PvE, why not. They'd want to look at pool Leadership too, though.

They're currently 60ft. at the moment, not 80ft. At least I'm pretty sure.

I don't think 150ft is beyond reasonable though. Splitting your group to tackle two groups could be part of leadership no? Sounds like good Maneuvers and viable Tactics to me!

Sadly range is one of those things they can't change, to my knowledge.

In PvP zones especially, with everyone maneuvering as fast as they can, some flying hundreds of feet above targets, it just seems silly that the buffs are limited to 60ft.

Apparently with the recent adjustment of SoA damage/defense in PvP since I've been gone as well it seems SoA aren't so hot. I haven't seen but one in the zones on Freedom, SC at least, since I've been back just messing around. I like mine, but I think of him as a support character and it'd be really nice if I could support more than just myself with those buffs out there.

I've checked in game before posting and they are most definitely 80 feet. Normal pool Leadership powers are 60 feet, though.

All my Crab's TT: Powers show 60ft. effect radius in the power detail page, at least. I wouldn't be surprised if it was wrong though...

But either way, 60 feet or 80 feet, it's still much to small for PvP encounters.

Ah, I was talking about Widows. I assumed Soldiers had different power names.

Fleeting Whisper · 07-16-2009 05:54 PM

Widows have 80ft radius, Soldiers have 60ft radius, pool power Leadership is also 60ft.
