Blaster Dual Pistol Idea

Okay...just thought I'd post my idea for Dual Pistols (because I was bored). My idea is a rather close range blaster set, that gives the bonus of +Defense for being closer than usual for a blaster.

As you will see, only 2 attacks are at the 80ft mark, with the others being 40ft if not less. The 2 80ft range attacks not providing any defense at all (maybe they should for the set, since you'd likeing want to stay in close for this set?)

The Defense would stack, much like Sonic's -Resistance. However to keep the +Defense one would have to keep attacking non-stop, in general game play this really shouldn't be all that game breaking I would think (from experience).

And in the end, I figure the devs have the set figured out already. This is just my idea for it.


Tier 1

Pistols: Ranged, Minor DMG (Lethal)

Recharge 3s, Range 80, Cast 1.2s


Tier 2

Dual Wield: Ranged, Moderate DMG (Lethal)

Recharge 6s, Range 80, Cast 1.2s


Tier 3

Empty Clips: Ranged Cone, Arc 30 Degrees, Moderate DMG (Lethal), Knockback, +Defense (2.5%)

Recharge 8s, Range 40, Cast 1.83s


Tier 4

Dodge and Fire: Ranged, High DMG (Lethal), +Defense (5%)

Recharge ??s, Range 40, Cast ??

Animation: Duck down and spin on one knee and come up firing.


Tier 5

???: PBAOE, Moderate DMG (Lethal), +Defense (5%)

Recharge: 60s, Radius 25, Cast ??

Animation: Arms start out crossed, then forward, then over their shoulders behind them, then end outstretched to the sides.

*Note: I based it's recharge off of the AOE Rain powers of Ice and Fire, it might possibly need to be less.


Tier 6

Point Blank: Close, Moderate Smashing DMG with Lethal DMG DoT (Lethal) +Defense (10%), Knockup

Recharge ??s, Range 7, Cast ??

Animation: Alot like Jump Kick, summersault kicking them up as you fill them full of lead.

*Note: Yes, it puts a melee range attack in the set, but gives a big burst of defense when used.


Tier 7

Smartlink: Passive, +ToHit (15-20%), +Perception

*Note: There is NO +DMG to this power.


Tier 8

Bullets on Parade: Ranged Cone, Arc 180 Degrees, High DMG DoT (Lethal), +Defense (2.5%)

Recharge ??s, Range 40, Cast ??

Animation: Arms start out stretched out aiming forward, firing on automatic untill they finish with arms outstretch to the sides.


Tier 9

Released Fury: Targeted AOE, Moderate Smashing DMG with Knockdown to an 8ft radius AND Extreme Lethal DMG to ALL in a 25ft Radius (The Smashing and Lethal DMG stack on those in the first 8ft of the radius), +Defense (5-10%)

Recharge 60s, Radius 25, Cast 4s, End Cost 20

Animation: Charge in alot like Shield Charge (this is a teleport attack), dropping into a Dragon Tail's animation, as you stand up finsihing the spin while firing the pistols.


...and there it is.

Like I said earlier, figure the Devs have it done and testing it internally already, but just thought I'd put this out there for fun.

Thoughts? Overpowered? To risky? I admit was trying to go for a gunfu feel for it. ^_^ Hope I pulled that off. Also like my idea for different style of Aim for the set.
