Let's face it, MA just looks fruity like some TKD demonstration, and the punches added were not that impressive. As a RL martial artist, I would like a set that looks like you could actually be fighting with it.

To ease the pain, expect new powers every few months after Freedom goes live. Just don't expect them to all be free.
Yep I dont feel that comfortable with the martial arts set either. I always end up not playing it. Not there for me yet.
and SS or EM definitely dont have that feel to them. SS is ok, but its something very different.

I wonder how SJ will turn out. Be fun to see some combo in it with transitions from Striking to Trapping to Holds. That would be some very nice combo work. Would make for an extremely fun set and some dynamic play. Lots of possiblities there to play around with.

We should probably start calling street justice StJ instead of SJ to avoid having the same problem we have between electric armor and energy aura (Ela vs ea).

Speaking of the poll, asking what powersets we most wanted, I remember voting for Shield defense. Not because of having a shield. For some reason I thought Shield Defense meant having perma Force Field Shields. Getting to run around in hamster balls sounded fun.


Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

I'm also thinking it maybe a somewhat medium to slow set with the finishers making up for DPS in the form of raw extreme-superior damage.

It may actually work like Power Siphon from Kinetic Melee with a bit of a twist (since there's talk about it applying all levels of builders - 3 Max - upon execution). I think it's going to be a buff on self first while the debuffs to mobs merely make them more susceptible to the next.

Excactly.

I just don't see what's so hard about DB's combo system. Unless these are people using attacks like Whirling Sword on a single target.

You're hitting buttons, with DB if you hit them in a certain order for a bigger pay off. If you don't, you're doing exactly what you do with other powersets...damage.

And with all the talk that happens ont he forums with optimal attack chains, that's basically the combos without the combo effect.

Do people who run Storm Kick-CS-SK-CAK automatically switch to a different chain when SK misses on their martial artists?

And really, what do the combos do for Dual Blades? Just add more damage. Okay Weaken doesn't, but it's also considered a rather weak combo to use in the first place.

For those who just use whatever power is up, can still do that with Dual Blades and be as effective as all the other Primary options.

It's a good thing the J key is very far from the D key. Wouldn't want any typos with that new StJ acronym.

I´m not 100% sure, but I think I voted for Growth back then. The idea sounded interesting.

If we can deal with CoHF, StJ is a piece of cake.

The ancient prophecy foretells its coming at the dawn of the new epoch, a brave leader having shown man the wisdom of abandoning the earth and taking dominion over the sea. The fallow land belongs to the beasts once more, and street justice is released in New Atlantis.

If some large percentage of the population of a city were super powered, tell me you can't imagine any of them dressing worse than that!

I didn't even see the costume. I just saw that freaking awesome uppercut that I want.

I think they need to tone it up a bit. Less ragdoll and more "omgwtfboom!"




See how his legs aren't just dangling and his right fist is strait up rather than a wide-swinged hook?
