First Look - Street Justice
I disagre Shubbie. The AoE is more than enough, considering that one is a Targeted 6ft radius (12 feet across, 3 less than Foot stomp), and that all the melee's can get another AoE in thier epic pools at 35 or 38.
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!

Foot Stomp has a 15 ft radius.
the AoE may not be fantastic, but it's easy enough to line up enemies for Sweeping Cross
Where's a "don't be a hater" icon, song, etc. for all you who already are giving StJ a bad vibe.
Nerf foot stomp?

Many. many people would disagree with you. Martial Arts and Super Strength both bring specific concepts of fighting style to mind which don't really fit the "unskilled/non-powered brawler" style, and as such many feel limited by them.
There's been people asking for a street fighting type of set for years. While I'm not terribly interested in it, I think it's a nice, polished looking set. |
I don't know, I seen the video and all I seen were the same 3 or 4 attacks over and over and over again. I was literally bored half way through. Maybe its changed since then.

Here is my first look:
Open paragon market. Not able to view any numbers on the set.
Go into character creator. Not able to select it since its locked and thus cant view the numbers.
Not buying it.

The aoe is pretty weak,funny they should put out a single target set since there is very little demand for single target damage.
Boycott Ncsoft if they close down Coh.
It's a great set if you know what you're doing.
Attack, switch, attack, switch, attack, switch, AoE with boosted damage, repeat as desired/needed.
It kinda begs for a taunt aura on the defense set, but that's a small inconvenience.

Besides your barely going to hit anything with those tiny aoe's
It feels like the set got nerfed at some point and then not properly tested.
Its NOT in any way shape or form worth 10 bucks.
Boycott Ncsoft if they close down Coh.
Most of the sets, just go right in with the aoe's and mobs die so fast in the current game that by the time you get to your aoe's most of the pack is dead.

I like it, and I disagree with your assessment, therefore your opinion is not the fact you seem to think it is.

So you say.

Since you are buying one and only one powerset for a premium price, they are going to have to accept that some people might not like it.
They are going to have to make some sort of adjustment for this fact or wind up with some very bitter and vocal players.
Its a very weak set as it stands in my opinion.
The game moved on from single target damage about 10 issues ago. This is a fact not opinion. No purples means dead weight, and the only way to earn purples is farming, you dont need great aoe, but you need acceptable.
And then back to my opinion, StJ does not have acceptable aoe.
Boycott Ncsoft if they close down Coh.
The range on spinning strike says 6' in mids. Is this correct or a misprint? I see 7' in the post above, so I'm just curious.
I think that just may make it the shortest range for a PBAoE I've seen.

It's a Targeted AoE with a short range.
EDIT: For absolute clarity, it's a Targeted AoE with a range of 7'. It's AoE is 6' radius.

First of all, you can have the most high end build in the game and still be a crappy player. Second, last time I checked the game had an e-mail system and Base storage that made it possible to transfer inf/enhancements/recipes/salvage between characters, so unless that was removed some time between right now and earlier this morning I have trouble following the idea that "every single character you have must be able to farm."
Edit: I missed the fact that you think "the only way to earn purples is farming." I just built a Hecatomb set for my Peacebringer in about 3 days just by playing the market. Granted I farm too, particularly when I want to pick things up more quickly, but it's certainly not "the only way to get purples," or anything else.
You can see it on youtube....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNiP-o-ajII
Looks really bad considering MA and SS are the "brawler" type powersets. Street Justice just looks like a last minute idea. The best move is the uppercut, and not by much. |
Street Justice is basically the set I've wanted since I first started playing this game.
No extreme acrobatics or weird contortions like you'd find in MA. No explosions or "hulk smash" animations you'd get from SS. No fire, no darkness, no energy, no weapons.
Just a straight up beat down.
I love the set so far(Currently 22 as of this post). I'm looking forward to Shin Breaker and Crushing Uppercut. I find the animations to be fun looking.
As for the AoEs, my main, before I quit the game long ago was a Dm Scrapper. Also, every time I'd come back for a month or so, my newly created characters would all get and use Sands of mu. Lining up a tiny cone/aoe is pretty much second nature to me.

Forum Troll Rule #1: Anyone who disagrees with my point of view is either a fanboy or an idiot.
I'm a proud carebear.
The rest of the set is good, but I dont get the point of single target sets at this stage of the game.
