And to me it feels about "right" as being halfway between flashy MA and Superstrength (which, I have to say, I like as a set - but I'm remaking one SS character as SJ, possibly an MA as well.)

weird, had to quote to see the URL, and open it in a new tab before I could see the Shaft picture here.
It's live in the store right now, but if you don't have 800 points, you're gonna have to wait until the maintenance on the plaync site is finished to buy some!

Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
I feel better about handing over that 100 bucks now.
My celestial aura will look great while I kick butt.
I have it sitting in my wish list.
ARGH

Think they can boost interest in the facepalm emote by putting street justice on sale an hour after it appears on the market?
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Oh man, that would be SO their style of humour...

To quote a monkey friend of mine, "Cuuuuurses!" Now, I have to halt my Time/Beam progress and focus on my Street Justice stalker! Now, if only I had the strength to call out sick. Nah! See everyone on the streets this afternoon!
Street justice? Psshhhht. SKY justice!

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Outside of Shin Breaker (which looks to be reasonably skippable), it's about the stylinest melee set around. It's one thing to beat everybody down, but it's another thing entirely to beat them down with incredible finesse.

It's a true "brawler" set. For those who want to play a street-level hero who's only powers are his wits and 'dirty' fighting, this is it. Martial Arts came close with the alt animations but that sets unreliable secondary effects and still reliance on kicks made it a ill fit. This set is what you want when you want a character like Night Thrasher or Daredevil or even Robin. The fact that the devs said that the fight scene from "They Live" was a heavy influence shows just how much they Nailed this set...|

The smooth combo system is just gravy.

For me it comes down to this: Up until now I've never be much for purely melee oriented characters in this game but I'm actually looking forward to giving Street Justice a try. If this powerset can get a non-meleer to try it then there must be something good there. |

I like it and agree with the style comment above. It does look cool on either male or female characters. I'm currently playing it on Beta server only because I don't want to shell out RT$ for a power set that isn't going away anytime soon and I can wait until the free PP are there.
Highly recommended.
it's there but has to be bought in the store with paragon points ...... lovely two months from now I can get it that or if i ever save 15 dollars.....
eh whatever apparently all the sane people complain about this stuff in game now because all the others are on the forums telling me I have no right to complain

But they might release Titan Weapons by then, and Staff Melee |

So go ahead and complain, and others will say that your complaint is wrong and you are both happy. See how that works?
Unless you are trying to say that you can complain, but no one can complain to you about your complaint. That would be a tad hypocritical, don't you think?
