My guess is that you are between lvls 32 and 40, and that you solo alot ?

Both FS and PSW are used to utterly demolish your foes.

Agreed, but same can be said about many other powers. Still doesn't make them all the same.

What I meant was that in a similar way to kinetics (on controllers) you put up with 37 levels of mediocrity to get those awesome powers

Transfusion mediocre? siph speed mediocre? SB mediocre? Transference mediocre? Maybe it seems so in the light of FS, but really... mediocre?

Compared to the PvE applications of Fulcrum... yes.

Not to mention all the "SB PLZ!" you have to go through.

Don't compare them to FS. [censored] the powers in itself and compared to other powers you get along the way from the start as you do with any toon, including kin powers. There are some undeniably good powers to be gotten.
If we follow your POV almost all other powers in the game are 'mediocre' (compared to FS) and i think that's something we can not sensibly agree with with.

Mediocrity is defined as being average. Saying that most powers in the game are average is pretty much a given

There are better powers, and there are worse powers, but they are average, mediocre. Kinetics powers are good, but most powers in the game are good, hence they are 'mediocre' when compared to awesome PvE powers like Fulcrum.

This has derailed a bit and maybe i got my point across badly. So i'll try again.
What i meant is that ofcourse in all sets there are some good and some average or even less then that powers, but that wasn't what the discussion wasn't about.

FS is evidently brutal, but many other (tier 9) powers in def/troller(/cor) sets are very good or 'special' too like EMP, Fluffy, Heat Loss, etc. FS might be king, but theres much more comparative awesomeness around for those AT's.

Same goes for other AT's who have a special or 'god mode' power (nukes/elude/unstop/overload/etc). Admittedly some better then others, but they are in line.

But to get back on topic about shockwave. No other power in any other domi secondary even comes close by a long shot.
Being a PBAoE with pretty fast recharge, huge radius, high damage (higher then bonesmasher...), mag 2 stun with looooong duration and hefty rech debuff is way too powerful all in all for an AT like a domi when you look at the other secondaries available.
Other powers in the psi set maybe could do with a little boost whereas shockwave really needs to be tuned down for balance when compared to other domis secondaries imo.
So indeed maybe FS should be tuned down too a bit when it comes down to it
