• Stalker and Scrapper versions of Impale have had their range reduced to 40 feet. This change is being made to bring the power more in line with Blast power sets' short range, high damage attacks.

Aye, I think we all knew it was coming at some stage.

What are the ranges of Focus and Shockwave from Claws?

Sounds about right then if they're after the "equality across the AT" regime.

or to put it in context the same as blasters furthest ranged attacks with the exception of snipe.

Long overdue change speaking as someone with a spiney scrapper and stalker.

hum... could sound right if the damage were upped as blaster short range attaque hit way harder.

i find this change to be hum...not necesseraly a good thing.
i mean the interest of spine was his long range impal to compensate the lack of burst damage(NRJ) or the lack of a "out of hide critik" attaque.

i suggest too to reduce the animation time by half as the range.

blasters seems to be the winner of the i8

Power bursts range was so small, that I considered it a melee attack in PvP.. This is a good buff for blasters I have to admit.

I think thats fair, spines isnt lacking really is it especially as a scrapper, it has tools, it has great dps in terms of multiple targets potentially, arguably and for many in practise better than claws due to dam over area, there being less res to toxic and additional survivability from -rechg secondary effect (-dps of foes).

He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

maybe the should change the animation now. this change feels unneccesary in pve.

To update my opinion about the new power burst range, the change is nice, but I dont consider it as groundbreaking.. Sort of nice change considering that devs have a history of going overboard in one direction or the other.

After next respec my blaster is going to have three dam/range HOs in power burst though. Thats got to feel somewhere.

spines still has one excellent thing going for it. It may not have EM's damage ( stalkers ) or BS's damage ( scrappers ), however when duelling certain squishies, it's the slows that can be a colossal pain in the proverbial.

Tsk stalkers are all about burst damage, mate. Stacking x hits to slow down a squishie? 2 shotting them takes my vote

yeah, true tbh. I was thinking more of scrappers really.

I think it was a pointless waste of time to nerf this power.

It has been fine.

Are we going to start having all blaster attacks the range of tanker melees to bring them more into line with kheldians next?
