A small buff to Assassin Strike?

Interruptable powers will no longer consume a charge if they are interrupted.

This will be a good small buff for Assassin Strike as the endurance cost is high if you get interrupted and use it again. That's like double the endurance cost.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Are you sure 'charge' means 'endurance' and now like a combo point? like in dual blades?

Yeah, I thought about that word "charge" but Dual Blade and Street Justice have no "interruptable" attack except for Assassin Strike.

I think "charge" means "the charge up period"? You lose the charge-up but you don't lose endurance because the attack never goes out?

I can't think of too many "charge" sets except for Dual Blade and SJ.

I think if they had meant endurance they would have said endurance. I'm afraid this probably means temporary power charges. So having, say, a Day Trader temp casting interrupted won't consume a charge.

Meh.

Hope you're right though. This would be a very nice benefit for Assassin Strike.

Ohohohohohohooo...this is a HUGE boost to dominators who are in the know.

It should certainly be a small boost for stalkers, especially lowbie ones who don't have strong end slotting yet.

You know what, now I am confused too... they need to be more clear! lol

On a side note, there are "interruptable" temp powers? Like what?

PS: Ok, after reading this one more time, I think I got it wrong. It probably only applies to temp. powers that consume charges. I just don't recall any of my temp. powers that can be "interrupted". Maybe they are talking about ITrial powers? When I read "Interruptable", I immediately think of Snipe and Assassin Strike. Oh well... my bad. No buff here.

The 5-min recharge Mission Teleporter, maybe? After all, you get charges with vet reward time and can't you purchase charges of it as well?

The Day Job AH teleporters are the only applicable things I can think of. I know I've occasionally wasted a charge by having an auto power go off during the interrupt portion. The Day Job rez power might also be interruptable, I don't recall... with the Resuscitator crafted power and the ability to combine insps, it's not even worth using these days.

This fix is rectify a situation where people have paid real money for mission teleport charges and ended up losing said money. I don't believe it will have any effect on non-charged interuptables in the slightest.

I think you are right. I didn't know there are other "interruptable" powers to be honest.

The limited use -bought- Mission Teleporter is an instant teleportation power.

As far as AS goes, if it is interrupted, you don't have to wait for it to recharge. It doesn't activate. You do lose some endurance, but not a lot. If they make it use the endurance after the interrupt duration, then this would mess up many other powers. Aid Self and family, snipe powers. Would those be effected too? If the endurance was not used until the power activates, then you could just spam that power, until it goes off. This could be especially bad during a PvP bout.



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
