Vorpal
I really need a lvl 50 that Vorpal fits thematically.
Wouldn't it be Brilliance... on a flying foot?
I agree though... I have the T4 Core on my Tank and ... I LOVE IT! Oh look.. a Mob..... HEEEYAAAAAAAAAAA! THWACK! Move on.. nothing to see....

I left my Judgement slot empty until this came out - all the other attacks seemed kinda weird for my style

This is the Judgement I have on my Ninjas/Poison Mastermind. Nothing says "Ninja Master", like kicking an entire spawn in the face all at once.
I only have one complaint about it. Is the fact that it has no sound effects a bug, or working as intended? I for one think it could use a satisfying "thwack" to go with it, like the Street Justice attacks have. When I hit someone with a Finisher on my Street Justice/Ninjitsu Stalker, I sometimes think to myself "that sounded like it HURT!", to the point where I end up physically cringing from it.
But then again, being silent also fits with the theme of a ninja, so your mileage may vary.

Arc ID# 534236: The Clockwork Angel.
It is awesome. BUT
It really really needs to be unclickable without a target selected. It is too easy to accidently hit and waste it. Especially if lag means you are not 'actually' facing where it appeared.
Also..Vorpal. The name itself. Vorpal sword in alice in wonderland..vorpal says lethal damage to me. Yet..it is smashing? I say change it all to lethal and give us a 'proper' smashing pbaoe ground slam type judgement.
Oh, and to get a REALLY good look at it (since it is easy to miss teh effects) use it on the rooftops on ITF, helps if no one else is around. It looks insane.
I like it, use it w/ my BS/SD Scrapper. Though I wish it was a giant PBAoE instead
Thematically it's great for my Fortunata - take your eye off her for a SECOND and man, now everyone's been smacked upside the head - but I find it to be too easy to accidentally point myself the wrong way. Plus, the icon is green, and I kept confusing it for Rebirth.

Vorpal is by far my favorite judgement power. I don't think many people realize just how large a 120x120 cone really is. Combine it with Clarion's +range and you end up at "omg what just happened?!" status.
I'm almost tempted to incarnate my DP/NRG blaster so I could go Cardiac +range, Clarion +range, Boost Range and roundhouse kick the moon!

I found a trick is to line up with the mob I want to hit then backpedal a bit, that gives me a nice wide arc to splatter them with

Being a cone, it's great for hover characters since you can make use of its entire area. For fun, head over to the Cim wall and hover midway up the wall and Vorpal towards the wall. You'll end up smacking the group at the base of the wall and the group at the top of the wall. Good times.

I picked Vorpal a while back for my stj/energy scrapper and never looked back! It does pretty good damage, very easy to hit a lot of enemies as you charge in and gives a huge brief +def to all!
As a def based character, this literally means for the first 10 seconds or so i am literally unkillable!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I only wish Cryonic had a similar cone range of 120arc/120range at tier4 (it has 45arc/120range). Vorpal has really spoiled me. XD
