Wait... You're now trying to compare Orbiting Death with Squid blasts?
You're better than that.

Alright, then I'll just say in my opinion 12.75'ish damage per second I would have a hard time using the word respectable, much less the words used previously.
For the endurance used and damage per second I believe this to be a truely poor power to use for damage. I am honestly trying to find a power that does less damage per second.
If you PL'd to 50 just to get an "epic" thinking you'd be �ber, you're going to be sorely disappointed with the HEATs, because the VEATs were designed so that anyone with one good finger and a braincell can rock the toggles.
Obsidian is right, the numbers shown by Redlynne were correct, but they aren't as good as Redlynne made them sound through the use of adjectives (I doubt there was anything underhand about what Redlynne wrote though).
He was just making the point (More for the benefit of a newbie than a vet) that they shouldn't over-estimate Orbiting Death and the overall benefit it will give to your damage output.

I think I need to hire PrincessDarkstar as my official translator, my methods of communication are too often unintentionaly brutal sounding.

The thing with Orbiting Death I feel is it has to be worth its action time and not be causing a a great problem with end recovery if left on but hitting nothing. So I needed to see how many targets for good DPE, my position, time spent in the positions and how long those targets would be living anyway in order for it to be worth the cast time and power pick in relation to other AoEs.
I basically AoE the bleep out of things, I have all the AoEs but OD. If everything lived long enough and I spent enough time in the right position then I would get something out of it. I am probably an old dog though that won't get out any new tricks.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. 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.

I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

It makes for an absolutely awesome "rip, tear, shred" power when used on teams (especially with a tanker grabbing all the aggro).
