Beam Rifle

Now I bet this has been covered before and others before me have
had a go at creating their own power set as a bit of laugh but hell
I just had to give it a whirl and blow me but it wasn't easy to come
up with some thing that is ballanced an dnot ove rpowered, makes
you realize just how much of a Rum-Do the developers have creating
powers sets! O_o

I know of one of my friends who would LOVE a powerset like this. I think the Tier 9 is a little TOO dangerous, however. Could do a Targetted AoE Nuke, that's like the normal nukes. Reduce endurance to 0 and all.

Thanks ^_^

That would be Self Destruct avable with the Cyborg Upgrade Package,
Or do you mean the Endurance Only would go to zero or the Health would
compleatly go down to zero as well?

Good suggestions, I'd just recommend renaming some of these hypothetical powers like "Flash" and "Overload" since there are already powers with those names.

I.E. "Flash Round" or "Overload Rifle"

I'd suggest looking at Energy Transfer for incorporating self damage into attacks. One of the things that it does is swap HP for damage and endurance. The Snipe would receive a significant boost in damage relative to other sets. Meanwhile, if the tier 9 "nuke" also inflicts damage to self, it would not only do more damage but probably shouldn't drain you of all endurance.

I know it sounds CRAZY, but I would love to have a massive ranged attack that not only damaged oneself, but also inflicted an irresistible mag 2 knockback on oneself. The damage would truly be off the charts.

Plasma attacks for Robots has a chance of inflicting -regeneration, which you might want to incorporate as well.

Heck, I'd settle for just a variant of Assault Rifle with the same powers, even same damage, just using the Laser Rifle animations (like from Robots Masterminds). Your rifle goes "Pew pew!" instead of "bang bang!" But otherwise same set.

God works evil, well finaly got some free time will change those names and
stuff with an edit, So FLash and Overload will be renamed.

Flash Round & Overload Rifle, both good replacement names hmnnn lets
see.

well as a temporate fix they could actualy do the assualt rifle adaption,i mean yes they whouldent do energy damage but am i the only one that doesnt care per se what kind of damage my attacks do ?

You know the Master Mind Robotic power Set that actualy uses a form of
Energy Rifle called the Pulse Rifle wonder if They will bring it out as a new
Corruptor/Dominator/Blaster/Defender Power Set as well?

I just gotta say, I would despise a power that required me to be at maximum endurance to use.

Aye I can see where your coming from Zandock but at the same time I
have to say on a personal not that you can't have an extreamly powerful
attack with out some sacrifice other wise it would be just way to over
powered and unbalanced.

The more powerful the attack the more Endurance it would need to pull
off, and to show it's a weapon of desperation and last resort it woul
effect all in its area of effect Foe and your character.
In away a poor mans version of 'Self Destruct' which I have to say rocks
big time except you don't die out right like you would with 'Self Destruct'.

But then again that's just my own opinion.
