Overdosing on powers


Afterimage

 

Posted

I must be some sort of sick freak because I can't think of much.

I tend to gush endless love on one AT to another in cycles. Currently I'm out of my Bots MM crush ("Bots, mm!") and making moon-eyes at my old flame, stalkers, but the same chemistry isn't there because I tend to only actually play say one session out of three, the other two being spent on MA arc writing.

I've always loved stalker AS's (please don't try to read that out loud; think of the children). Invariably as I level up at some point I get silly and think "Let's see what happens when I AS that red-con guy over there" and then I actually end up wiping the floor with him thanks to that huge influx of ouch from my opening AS. It's a nice feeling.

WORMHOLE just started getting into doms and man I love that grav's power.

Greater Fire Sword. If I have every other attack recharged on my scrapper, I'm still going to pull out that giant honking monster to finish off the last minion. If you could get 'OVERKILL' printed on the side, I would.


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Wormhole. I love using this power so much. Especially for throwing bad guys directly up into the ceiling, or 'punting' nuisance mobs out of the way on an open-air map...

My first MA arc was a single mission test, in which the custom enemy group all had Storm Summoning. It was never published (as I wouldn't dream of unleashing it on the public) but it was worth playing to see my friends' reactions to the horrendous Gale spam... Let me tell you, it doesn't feel so good to be on the receiving end!

Build up - Full Auto Combo on my AR/Ice blaster.

Hey, I'm having a lead eating competition!
LOOK! YOU'RE WINNING!
DakkaDakkaDakkaDakkaDakkaDakkaDakkaDakkaDakka!!

That and it kills everything (I do mean everything) thats yellow con minion or lower. And I love what it does to Rikti Drones. High defence, you say? DODGE THIS!!

Force Bolt!!! Oh, how I love my Force Bolt. <3

Carrion Creepers are fun too, but it's kinda hard to say you're overdosing on them. They're extremely potent.

Ah yes, I too like Crane Kick! It just seems so satisfying with the animation and then watching the mob get KB'ed back a bit

From you to the mob.

Anyway, on my Elec/Shield - walking into the mob, waiting a tick or two so my aura gives me a nice damage bonus, hit Buildup/Liightning Rod/Shield Charge.

Who says scrappers can't nuke?

Also, really want /traps for controllers. Get some Grav/Traps, and on a whole team of traps, everyone drops trip mine and the next grav up uses wormhole...

full auto on AR.
K.O. BLOW on SS.

Top of the list: Power Thrust from my level 50 blaster on level 1 anythings in Atlas. This should actually be a shortcut to side-switching when GR comes out. After you send your 5th Hellion soaring over a wall, you are instantly transformed into a villain, skipping all intermediate steps.

Full Auto. No, it's not the most uber blaster nuke, but it's just so deeply satisfying.

Shield Charge. Zooooom, and they're dead before they hit the floor.

Once they get the animations working again: one of the new alternate animations for Knockout Blow when used with Shields secondary turns Knockout Blow into the world's nastiest shield bash. Friggin' awesome.

This. A thousand times this. Love Propel so much.

I'm also quite the fan of toe bombing. Smoke Grenade + Trip Mine = Happy Squeeing Me. And trick or treating with Trip Mines is a beauty unto itself.

I have an slightly different obsession: IO recharge bonus overdose. I hate waiting for stuff to recharge.

I went as far as to grab powers I find useless (Group Invisibility) just so I could slot a LOTG 7.5 in it. I'm throwing billions of inf away to replace my Doctored Wounds (5% rech bonus) for Panaceas (7.5% rech bonus). I slotted Brawl with 5 purples to get the 10% rech bonus. That's how badly I want the extra 2 seconds of regen/recovery aura.

Many of the ones mentioned:

Torrent, Power Push, Gale and similar Powers-Knockback is so satisfying!
Soul Storm-So fun it's EVIL!
Propel

Also running through mobs using Repel is much fun!

My friends often hear me shout "Trow Sharkie!" with my Arachnos soldier, followed by "Omm, nom, nom!". They haven't complained yet.

Nothing says twisted villian better than a Foot Stomp and then spraying Shark Bile on them.... mmmmm chunky !

Too bad the reaction animation is not something like them reeling back going "Eeeyywww !"

Mine is Siphon Speed. Without Siphon Speed I just do not see the point in even continuing on with a character. It really is an addiction I have and sometimes I find that when in groups it's the only power I use (please don't tell those I group with).

Deceive is another I use too. I have been known to keep an enemy deceived just so I can TP Foe him around a map with me and Siphon Speed as it recharges. It's not even necessary to do this but I love it so much that I just can't stop.

If I could Siphon Speed my teammates my life as a Villain would be complete

You need to dual box with a Trick Archer and SS off of the Oil Slick.

Or convince Castle to make Trick Archery a power in an Ancillary Power Pool or a replenishable Temp Power.

I don't know if this counts, but for me it's Golden Dragonfly. And it not just that I use it, it's how. Running up to a mob, I jump about a half second before hitting the power. It begins to animate just as I sail over their heads at the height of my jump, then I turn around and come crashing down to earth from about 20ft off the ground. I've been going that since Issue 2 and it never gets old.

Spectral Terror. It just looks awesome when it's coloured black

Ooh, I do that too. I haven't played my Katana Scrapper since i9, so I forgot.

The best is when you can approach two that are lined up and land behind the second one, so you get both in your cone. And if you Build Up first, and if you crit...

In this game, I can't honestly think of anything I've done that compares to "superspeed towards a spawn while firing BU and queuing GD, leap over two +1 Lt's, spin in the air, bring sword crashing down, cut them both in half with a double critical." Even if a target lives (maybe there was a boss or perhaps you got one or no crits), the knockdown makes it feel epic. You can tell they felt it.

As one guide phrased it, it's nearly a religious experience. (The guide was about Broadsword, but it looks cooler with Katana, even if it's slightly lower damage.)

Proton Volley.

Not a big fan of snipes, especially on my defender. But, the Star Trek "WOOM WOOM WOOM WOOM" makes me grin every single time.

And I tried something once. Teammate teleport foe's the guy I'm targetting, in IP. I turn on superspeed.

Out running my sniper shot, and running circles around it is more fun than you can realize.

Air Superiority set on auto-attack. A running enemy trying to make a break for it? I have him targeted as I close for an intercept and BAM! Air Superiority goes off while his momentum takes his bounce a little past me. It is as if I just clothes-lined him.
