Positinal & Typed vs Psi!

After talking to Castle, I was informed Those in Mental Control Control do not have Positional Typed Affects added to the attacks they preform.

Thus Positional Defense of Melee/Ranged/AOE can for most part be soft capped to them, while Psi defense itself is required for Mental stuff.


Though I sent him message back for further detailing of such things. Now more folks are informed, I learned that what some of the Non Positional Psi attacks are. Perhaps he can come here clarify more.


Yay for all of us

We've actually know this for a long time. Luckily, most of the psi attacks DO have a positional component even though the psi controls lack one.

Example: Dominate lacks a postional component but Psionic Dart is Ranged/Psionic.

Compare Attack Types for the varios Psi powers out there at http://www.redtomax.com/data/ for more infomation.

So no biggy. We can doublestack Practiced Brawler.


Be well, people of CoH.

I still think Psychic attacks shouldn't have a position to them. How can you dodge a mind bullet?

How can said mind bullet affect something without a conventional brain? It's a gameplay concession.

And for psi attacks, have your mind dodge the mental energy just as your body dodges physical energy.

I don't see a problem here.

Or if you happen to be stuck in a crossfire on a giant space station you can always jump down the garbage chute!

Well, techincally, on my brute, for example, if said mind bullet has a lethal component to it, then I avoid getting hit by it by training all my melee attacks using the art of "kinetic combat" which makes me harder to hit with a lethal or smashing attack, even if I never use said melee attack.

What don't you understand about that?


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
