Leaping - Spring Attack

A new PBAoE, with a Teleport? Is this a variation of shield charge/lightning rod? Anyone use this? Is it any good?

Thx Kitsune. I think I will try it for my SS/Brute. I have never used either of the other powers, since I was never that interested in the power set(s) to level somebody far enough to use them. SS is light on AoE, and this will allow me an AoE way before FS. Definitely worth trying at the cost of a respec out if things go poorly.

I like it. It's nice to pick up with a character that doesn't have any AOE attacks. I'm using it with a Stone Melee brute who won't have any other AOE power until level 38.

It doesn't have great damage, and it has really long recharge. Visuals are neat. It has a good chance to knockdown. You have to take two other leaping powers for it. It's fun.

Just a heads up if you use Mids', it currently incorrects report the damage of Spring Attack, showing a value that's way too low (somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/3rd).

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

I use MIDs, but I am horrid with it. You had me sold with AoE attack that does knockdown. I cannot figure out how a teleport is a "spring attack" Shouldnt this be in the TP pool? Anyways, thanks.

It's the visuals, you leap into the air, and out of sight at your old location, then land where aimed, hitting all the nearby targets, knocking some of them down.

As for damage, when I took the power I looked at the info provided in the 'level and pick a power' screen. Even though my brute is only 19, I could look at the damage for Tremor, and compare it with the damage from Spring Attack, they were pretty close, so I took Spring Attack.

Spring Attack is awesome. The FPC (fun per cast) ratio of it is *INCREDIBLY HIGH*. I find myself giggling evilly every time I click it.

I've got an elec/SD scrapper with SA. I have SA bound to shift+lbutton. I cannot WAIT to get LR and SC, and bind them to ctrl+lbutton and alt+lbutton. I expect my FPC on that character will not just triple, but will go up in orders of magnitude with each new teleport attack. The first time that I cast all three in sequence, I will likely fall out of my chair due to hysterical laughter.

Ugh, I hate updating Mids (the UAC admin isn't necessarily the current user! don't put the start menu shortcuts into the local elevated account's start menu!). It needs to also stop assuming the Program Files directory is writable, as well as the appropriate location to store settings :-/

Spring Attack appears to be within a half a point of the RN display in game (Mids: 93.84, Real Numbers: 93.98- both for Scrappers).

Fly, in game, is also 0.46/s, same as the other travel powers.

When I get around to respec my namesake I'm planning on taking this since leaping into the center of a group is my standard opening move anyways.
