Am I the only one that noticed the range is 9 ft? Aren't most melee attacks a 7 ft range? Yes, the weapons are *that* big.

Well, we know one power is smashing damage. We don't know about any of the others yet.

Knock-out blow has a range of 13 feet. Cleave has a range of 10 feet. Shatter has a range of 8 feet.|

It's not uncommon for heavier attacks to have longer ranges.

It actually is fairly uncommon. Both Cleave and Shatter (and Head Splitter, while we're at it) are cones with a specific design intention of hitting multiple foes in a line, which is why they're given a slightly longer reach, so they're not a PITA to use. Knockout Blow is the only non-7-foot melee attack that I can think of, and for the life of me I can't figure out why that is.|

Still, if Titanic Weapons is all 9-foot melee attacks... I'd like it

Even though it says they're brute numbers, I think that's actually meant for Scrappers. It has a 5% crit chance (although it says only for minions/underlings but nothing about bosses) and no taunt.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
How do you people happen to "stumble" across these anyhow 
Edit: A 4 second +def self -resis enemy attack? Slightly OP'd
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I don't know how Warden de Dios found them, but I just typed [Shatter Armor] into chat expecting to see the Mace mastery version and the Titan Weapon power is what popped up.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.
Warning: This poster likes to play Devil's Advocate.
Nice find, but alas it seems it's another gimmick set though I guess I should have figured... ^^" Thankfully I didn't resub just for this reason, I would have felt silly... XD got lots of other things to enjoy.
Thanks for the info.
( I typed it and it give the wrong impression... XD )

I'm feeling the exact opposite way, I LOVE the new gimmick sets. A lot of the old powersets were just essentially reskins of each other with a few secondary effects swapped around. I love how the devs are just going bugnuts crazy now with new powersets.

I really like what they have done with Beam Gun, I guess it'll only be fair if I wait for them to have a working setup before I fully decide, after all it doesn't even have the momentum effect on there yet. ^^"|

Besides, who knows, my toon may look freakin awesome holding a 7 FOOT SWORD. Bigger is better to be fooled!
Hoorb!
So uhh any info on when we get Titanic Weapons?

Because going from the most-resisted damage type in the game to the second-most-resisted damage type is a huge deal, amirite?|

Why do I have this sneaky suspicion that both Katana and Dual Blades are going to be left in the dust DPS-wise? Heck it might already be the case with StJ. |
Oh wait, the difference is pretty marginal and only appears in certain types of enemies.
Now, if Titan Weapons did an exotic damage type, THEN it would leave the sword-based sets in the dust.

Wow -Def, -Res and Fire damage! That's awesome!
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

The fire damage is only when you use Fiery Embrace, from the Fiery Aura armor set.

All the attacks will be done while riding the titan weapon like a pogo stick.
Or a pogo branch. Or pogo sign. Pogo Limbaugh?

You know. I think we need a new travel power (also a titan weapon):|

I noticed it had no KB.
I'm going to be quite disappointed if this set doesn't come with a Crane-Kick high-mag KB analog that I can slot up and bat bosses across a map with.
