Blinding Feint Question


BrandX

 

Posted

My main and namesake was a Dual Blade/WP scrapper untill recently (rerolled as Kin/WP Stalker)...sooo, lots of time spent on using Dual Blades.

However, I have an alt I made recently, a DB/Elec Brute.

When I use Blinding Feint, and it connects, I get a build up style flash, when it connects, which I never got on my Scrapper.

Is this something new? Or has then always been a Brute only thing? Or do tankers have it as well?

My scrapper has it. I think.

Going to check

Seems I was wrong

Is it a Brute only effect?

The question is, do Tankers get that flash of light as well.

I have a DB/WP brute and scrapper, tested on both and I do see the build up flash on the brute but not on the scrapper. I vaguely remember seeing the build up flash in the past but I don't remember if it was only on the brute - its been a while since i have played either.

So, next I went to the character creator, started creating a DP character of each type and went to the powers screen and checked out blinding feint animation for each AT - the brute shows the 'build up' type flash, the scrapper and tank do not. So it looks like this is only on brutes.

My guess would be that when they copied the power set animations over to redside somehow the animation used for build up in stalker's DB got crossed with the BF animation in the brute version - but thats a WAG - it could be that all 3 versions of BF where meant to do a build up type animation and only the brute got it.

It doesn't bother me that the scrapper doesn't have it. It was just curiousity.

I'm sure that there's a lot who would rather keep itflash free on their scrappers/tankers anyways.
