Psionic melee

ah don't no if this has been suggested but we have psychic blast and mental manipulation but what about a melee set:
Psychic punch A quick attack that deals small damage and has a quick recharge time.
Psionic slam you deal a moderate psyche damage attack by slamming your hands against the enemy, fast recharge.
Mental smashyou push your enemy to the ground and jump into the air and smash the foe with a moderate damage psychic attack. slow recharge.
psi-slash you swing round in an arc with you fists letting off moderate psyche damage. slow recharge.
concentration you take a quick moment to focus you psyche abilities, increasing your damage but slightly decreasing our defences. recharge moderate
mind bend you bend the minds of your foes and force all in range to attack you. foe taunt.
telekinetic blast you blast high damaging telekinetic attack at you foe. knockback. slow recharge.
Psi-knife you create a knife made of psionic energy on each hand and deal a fury of blows to your foe dealing high damage. moderate recharge.
Psi-lance you create a lance made of psionic energy and stab it through the enemy dealing superior damage. slow recharge

and possibly a psionic armour to but this all I could think off atm.
feel free to criticise or agree but just a quick suggestion I thought of.

Actually psi melee was running against dual blades. Also there is already mindprobe and tk thrust that could be worked into the set.
Psychic shockwave could work as a tier9.
There already is a "mental" armor, willpower.

yeah those powers could work as well and i forgot about willpower being about the mind and will.

The name of the set we where asked to vote on was "Psïonic Weaponary"


I really should do something about this signature.

yup.

Cause i kind of have a hard time seeing psi melee. I punch/kick and they take psi damage... doesn't make sense really. Better imo, to make it like Psylocke, to manifest it as a weapon. Tho i spose pyslocke was telekinetic, but eh.

sounds like it would have been a good set

I voted for it.

Unfortunatly more people voted for Dual Blades for some reason I can't fathom.

I voted for Energy Blade (or whatever it was).

Indeed Saphic. I couldn't agree more.

Psi Melee: you grab a brain by its stem (preferably some other person's) and proceed to bashing stuff with it. Extra damage for any choke holds with the brain stem itself.

Psi melee indeed... seriously people, think before you write!

I see it as a melee range psi set.

Hmmm, yes, psychic punch and stuff like that would be a bit odd. So, I would rather expect something like this:

Level 1: Psi-Sword (psi-version of Fire Sword)
Level 1: Mind Probe
Level 2: Psychic Embrace (psi-version of Jacob's Ladder)
Level 6: Concentration/Build Up
Level 8: Scare
Level 12: Taunt
Level 18: Drain Psyche
Level 26: Psi-Sword Circle
Level 32: Greater Psi-Sword

Quite easy to implement since it is basically recycled powers/animations. Plus, it looks like a nice set.




If it has
eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

... this is all very well, but does that fact that most defense sets have an "except Psi damage" caveat next to their toggles not give you a clue as to how overpowered this might be in PvP?

With people blathering on about how BAD PvP is and how they'll NEVER touch it again, why oh why does it keep cropping up?
Hello? Psi blast blasters? /Mental secondary? psionics on Dominators? Already there, already beating you to death with your own skull...

Drain psyche would be OP

Oh well in that case, go on ahead.. if there's one rule in one circumstance and a different rule in another case, that's fine. Just don't expect people to understand is all.

? I was replying to sitriel.
Regen capped willpower and regen would be fun though

Hmm, is there a Confuse power in the set?

I agree that Drain Psyche would be rather too good in conjuntion with those two defense sets.

It would need some pruning, obviously, should it ever happen.

My point was that people going 'Omg its overpowered nuuuu' are being...silly. We already have psionics being wielded by PCs, and in the case of the blasters for pure damaage purposes.
Also, PvP shouldnt really come into an arguement. Not anymore/yet.

Drain Psyche is too much of a survival buff as opposed to an offensive buff, even compared to things like Parry. If there'd be a Psionic Aura armor set, then maybe there. But not in a melee damage powerset. Especially not when you can pair it with Willpower.

Personally, I can't stand elemental melee sets that force us into using pseudo-weapons. Molding a concept around glowy/burning/rocky/icy bare hands is much more flexible of an option, plus I think the concept of a sword-shaped flame dealing partial lethal damage is moronic.

Personal preference, I know. Still, I'd prefer psi melee to be weaponless until we get power customization.
