Kinetic Melee question

What feature of Assassin's Strike makes it so that it will miss THREE TIMES IN A ROW when double Build Up'd and would kill a Paragon Protector before it could MoG?



Also note that there was nothing happening between attempts besides waiting for Build Up and Placate to recharge to try again.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Probably about a 1 in 8000 chance

Ever met the Streakbreaker?

If you've ever played */SR ... you should have.


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Assassin Strike sucks. Get used to it. :P

3 times in a row? How much endurance did you just spend?


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Just say no to Assassin's Strike.


The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

For some reason KinMelee just seems to do that sometimes... (My KM scrap is actually worse about missing time after time after time on a regular basis than either of my stalkers or my tank, but they've all definitely had bouts of it, too, and more often than my other melee types.) The amount of Acc you have slotted and the level of the goons don't seem to make much of a difference, either. My scrap is well into ludicrous territory and he still can't hit the broad side of a barn some days. o_0

The power set itself doesn't seem to have a lower than average chance of hitting as far as I can tell... so maybe the Random Number Fairy just hates KMs or something. Gotta be the sound effects.

AS should be autohit in PVE imo

Exactly especially it already has interrupt.

If your still unaggroed on the mob and you hit build up and miss you can at least hit concentration strike to recharge build up to at least get some of the damage back. I know it sucks this happened to me too during a manticore tf the other day. Thats why I am not 100% confident in the streak breaker. I have missed more than twice in a row against lvl 1s at level 50.
