I agree that they would reconsider how long the "finishing moves" are. That's what they seem, to me: finishing moves. They take so long to animate I get the feeling that I need to consider what I actually want to make my big PS#5+ attack because by the time its finished I have to build up my momentum again. Alternate pool powers seem to have better options that just dont contribute to PS. It's probably not as bad as it sounds but I really dont get much out of using more than one of the upper teir powers back-to-back. I dont like repulsing torrent - I use Body Mastery's Energy torrent. I personally only use the range attacks to snag a runner. I'm usually not lucky enough to have PS at five for a runner. Burst seems "ok."

Isn't the damage number for Mu Bolts wrong in Mids?

Back in the game and looking to make a new scrapper for GR, I'm leaning towards a KM/Elec scrapper that will eventually be a villain. Being a planner, I download Mids and start building. When I get to the APPs, I decide that Mu Mastery seems to fit my character's concept nicely. Then I come across Mu bolts.
Mu Bolts (using Mids):
End: 6.5
Recharge: 6s
Range: 80
Cast: 1.17s
Damage: 125.12 (all energy)
Not bad but then I realized I had already selected a ranged power from the primary, Focused Burst.
Focused Burst (Mids):
End: 8.5
Recharge: 8s
Range: 40
Cast: 2s
Damage: 112.86 (32% energy damage)
Damage Buff: 32%
Damage Debuff: 5.625%
So, comparing End, Recharge, Range, Cast, damage type and damage...MB (mu bolts) comes out looking like a much more attractive option. The only thing FB (focused burst) has going for it is the damage buff and damage debuff.
However, I wonder if this truly offsets having more recharge, more end use, less damage, longer cast time and lower damage than a APP power. Is the damage buff really going to help you since this is a ranged power and the power has a 2s cast time?
In my experience with melee characters, the main reason I have ranged power at all is to catch a runner which would make the damage buff and debuff nearly useless.
Thoughts?
