So...when did Jab decide cause -20% resistance and who had this crazy idea? Because this is awesome!

That's for all tier-1 tanker attacks now. It's part of the changes to Gauntlet that came not too long ago.


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

And it's even more awesome than you think. Although it doesn't stack (even with another Tanker's version), it's not a 20% -resistance power that you grant the target. It's a -20% resistance power that the target grants itself. As such, whether fighting a -4 or a +4 enemy, you're still giving it that -20% resistance.

When you say tier 1 you are referring to level one, right?
I use boxing right now not jab. I should switch and actually use the power?

Yes.

You will flat out do 20% more damage to a single target you're attacking, regardless if it's an AV or GM, provided you lead with your tier 1 and use it at least once every 10 seconds to refresh the effect.

Your team will also do more damage to said target. Numerically, a single Tanker now adds more damage to a team than a single Brute does by virtue of being a force multiplier.

You should also respec because the Fitness Pool is now an Inherent power. You get Hurdle, Swift, Health and Stamina automatically at level 2. You may slot these powers as normal.

I teamed with a stalker this morning on my evil invul / SS tank, and I jabbed his target before he did assassin strike, and though the mobs were +2 to us, they were being one and two shotted as a result.

We were churning through mobs like nobody's business.

You can choose an alternate animation for it in the costume creator/tailor/facemaker

There's alternate attack animations for Jab, Punch and Haymaker that fit their names a little better.

KO Blow's new animation is a classic Kirk-Fu two-fisted uppercut, which also resembles the the coup de grâce Optimus Prime delivers to Megatron in the 80's transformers movie.

Foot Stop has a ground punch alternate. Hurl and Hand Clap don't have any animation options.

Incidentally, Martial Arts got a variety of Punches as alternates for most of the kicks.

I kept the original jab on my guy I love the swing to the ribs. Reminds me of when the Hulk fought Juggernaut in Hulk 404, he delivered a jab very reminiscent.

I changed the punch as that looked much better with the alternate than the original IMO.

Haymaker I kept the same as it looked cool to just deliver a double overhead slam

KO BLow, I changed that because yeah, it reminded me of Optimus Prime's shot to Megatron. Good call Johnny.

Footstomp, was tempted with the punch, but, its called "footstomp" so me being that anal, couldn't conceive of a ground punch.
