Staff Fighting

This information can be found on the Live servers. Either Staff Fighting is real or this is the worst April Fools Joke the devs have ever come up with.






















The powers below seem to be similar to Swap Ammo







This set also comes with a Taunt power.

Does anyone have a link to the Staff Fighting video?

Not a joke, probably...we know that the set is in development, and it might not even have animations yet.

But thanks for posting those. I'm sure that many people are going to be interested.

The text of the last descriptions boggles me. You have to "purchase Staff Mastery" to get them?

I hope that doesn't mean you have to buy Staff Melee in the store and then buy some type of upgrade power for the set.

I have already, just in case, created a character named Rotary Club.

In before mod deletion?

I'm looking forward to seeing it in-game, whenever that is. Though, I doubt I'll purchase it, never been much for melee.

Is this Titan weapon or is it seperate?

I suspect there will be quite a few new powersets coming.

Here's 6 out of the 9 Titan attacks.





















What's missing is
Build Up
Taunt

There's anther attack but I don't remember what it's name is. When I took this screenshots the other attack wouldn't come up using this real numbers system.

Titan Weapons is unrelated (and been publicly announced).

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Both look decent although titan seems aoe focused, staff middle of the road, I see they both have 3 aoe but titan seems a little more focused on aoe.

I'm hoping to acquire a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff.

I really hope this is slated for Soon™. Like in the next few months soon.

After watching that video... I'm looking forward to Staff Fighting more than any set ever. I'm certified in quarterstaff so I've wanted this set since day 1 of playing.

We know they are sitting on 'all but done' sets and goodies, enough to slowly roll out stuff for the rest of the year at the very least. Hopefully we won't have to hold our breath that long for this one!

Another combo gimmick based set? Yeesh.

But with good enough animations I'll forgive.

It's more Street Justice combo then Dual Blades combo. It's faster, you don't have to attack in any particular order.

Both Staves and Titian have a Parry/Divine Avalanche type power. Having something like Parry is sorta like having a second armour set.

I have to say, unless the animation times are really bad, Staff fighting looks pretty nice. Two 9' 90 degree cones, one of which is a parry analog. A PBAOE. 3/6s single target attacks. A 9s 40' ranged attack, and a 15s extreme damage attack. Plus you get to choose a range of buffs from your form. Though the duration on the 3 stack proced buff seems a bit short. 10s isn't super long, but I guess it's not meant to be.

Yeah, I took Posi's reaction to the mention of it during the UStream as 'confirmation'. Seeing as how the leaked video was so professional as to be not worth faking, and the subsequent deletes of threads. I'm pretty sure he's safe from Pebbles wrath.

After looking at the descriptions when this was being chatted about in the Beta a while back, I copied/pasted the Descriptions into a personal file and added some notes of my views of the set. Below is from that file and I think gives a solid description of Staff Fighting, at that time.

Grabbed names Staff-Infection, Pole Position and Stick Figure on exalted, just to be safe.
