New Judgement Power

Giving the linked thread a glorified bump, where poster #9 brings up the idea for it...we really need a new Judgement power for the super strength concept.

I agree.

*Edit* though my suggestion for 'fleet judgement' seems to be strangely close to the recent "Vorpal," so it no longer needs consideration.

Well, we have...

Fire (Pyronic)
Ice (Cryonic
Electric (Ion)
Negative (Void)
Smash (Vorpal)

So we're missing:
Energy
Lethal
Toxic
Psionic

I want Energy to be some kamehameha energy wave thing.

I similarly agree, we totally need more Judgements. If only to cater to more character types than "Hyper cosmically powered arcane demigod" (which kinda accounts for a few of my characters, admittedly...). Sometimes, people just want to play dudes with guns, and the fact is that none of the Judgement powers really cater to this.

Also, I'd really like the ability to just straight up punch the ground and send stone shrapnel flying up in a wide area. Or to leap into orbit, then come back down, Buddhist Palm-style (skip to 7:50). Y'know, in addition to the suggestions in my link

Also some kind of device based judgement would fit in many consepts. Perhaps some summonable laser satellites whirling around enemies.

I'd like to see some military themed judgements, notably a Rocket Launcher power (the LRM is wimpy and impractical) and a Minigun power!

Something like this for the rocket launcher...

...complete with quad rocket firing. Engine permitting, each rocket could have its own to-hit check. I'd see it as a lethal/fire targeted AoE that has a huge radius, but deals the most damage closer to the point of impact. Side effects could include stuns, terror, knockdown, or knockup(one per each rocket, incapacitating a mob during its firing period).

And the minigun is obvious, the temp power from Praetoria already in the game.

It could be a (relatively) narrow cone, with armor piercing rounds that ignore half of the enemies' lethal resistance. Other effects could potentially be a major speed debuff or S/L res debuffs.

I play mostly military-themed characters, and the current judgements barely fit their concept at all. Vorpal makes the most sense, but still asks that you submit your character into being a martial arts expert/super speed maniac. You can bet your bottom dollar I'd spend way more time playing level 50 with that mad hardware.

And speaking of concept, you can just say that the Well granted you the power to carry the weapons/ammo for this.

Statesman's Hammer of Justice
Marauder's Nova Fist
An air strike from the Sutter TF
Orbital death laz0r
Super-sized Stalagmites stone-stomp
Mass gravity-effect lift/levitate
Massive tornado with thunder/lightning knocking people randomly up, down and around
A single powerful straight energy beam from the hands, thick long-range cone like Penetrating Shot
Summon a massive swarm of untouchable, high-damage short-duration zombies/ghosts
Dual-wielding Assault Rifle full auto
Satchel charge/s, can use the same animations as the Thugs upgrade and MM Traps Detonate
Actually, just an explosion randomly at your target after doing the MM Traps Detonate animation

This..
And villains can justify using cats as live ammo.

Hero's can use robotic cats :P

Why don't we have an orbital death laser already? Keyes get's one just take that animation and boom badabing your done

I'd also like to see the opposite kind of power a pbaoe where you channel energy underneath you and it erupts from the ground 2/3 the radius of void but has -35% res effect that doesn't stack

personally since states is dead why not give us his zeus lightning as a judgement attack? it essentially already is a judgement just something the players cannot use

IMO, nearly every blaster primary should have a judgement that is like it. In particular, we need sonic judgment (look me straight in the eye and tell me that symphonic radial final judgment doesn't have a nice ring to it), a psychic judgment, some kind of long-ranged weapon based judgement for tech-types, and a toxic judgment.

And that is just to start.

I'd really them rather move onto the next 5 slots :P. But all of these ideas sound super interesting. Could make a nice poll.
