Along with Staff Fighting, there are sale items for the stuff you'd like to go with a Staff Fighting character:
  • Imperial Dynasty and Martial Arts costume packs

  • Character Slots
  • Melee and Defense SBEs

On top of that, the announcement tells us how to find these items in that less-than-stellar Market UI.

SB has the whacking great Recovery buff, which is equivalent to a global end reduction.

Once upon a time, the MA bundle was bugged in the i21 beta and charged more than 400 Points when purchased, so it had to be pulled from the live release until it could be fixed.
Hmmmm....

I thought it was new, for whatever reason. I was able to buy this, even though I had previously purchased the MA super booster (i.e., before Freedom). Guess I will need to open a support ticket on this...


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Great, now I want a Siege Weapons Mastermind. With Arbalests/Ballistas for Tier 1, Catapult and Trebuchet for Tier 2, and a Juggernaut for Tier 3...


Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

But they're putting out power sets and costume parts a lot faster than before - they devs aren't working on them for free

I'm actually going to agree with Golden Girl here.

I prefer it like this over what we had before. I can get the powersets I want, and leave the ones i don't in the store. With the monthly stipend from being a VIP, they could put out a powerset every two months, and I'd still come out ahead of how it used to be if I got them all.

In this case, I'll pass for now. Want to see it in action on other characters first, plus I have enough melee for now.

It's really not.

Enjoying staff so far, devs. The only complaints I have are that the sound is absolutely awful, and the PBAoE animation is incredibly stupid. Fun set otherwise, though.

Finally! Thank jeebus for small favors!

Here's my brilliant idea for a GREAT market item:

A Characer re-do! I still have a level 50 Fire/Ice tank from Pre-ED, and I don't delete him as I have years invested in him, but I also don't play him, because ED completely destroyed his effectiveness. There is simply no way to respec and reslot and re equip him to make him effective with the secondary and primary he has. if he was Ice/Ice, he'd be great, if he was fire/fire, he'd be great. It's just a sad fact of that combo now, he's ineffective. can't take enough damage, can't do enough damage. So how about a purchase from the Market that allows a person to rechoose the primary and secondary on a single character? Can't change the origin, can't change the AT, just the powersets. Make it a high prices item say 2500-3500 points, so it's not something that get's used often, but for those people who get nailed by a nerf, it gives them a choice to pay to reclaim the time they spent building a character. (Add-on sales would include character re-names, since a character name might not make sense with the new powers) Those who have now ineffective characters win, the market makes a boatload of cash so they win. Anyone see a problem with this that I didn't think of?

Why would there be spears? Please see the official dev quote below.

Staff Fighting
by Phil "Synapse" Zeleski

Introduction
If you've ever wanted to play a super hero who wields a bo staff, trident or SPEAR ...
Additionally, the developers released a demo video of staff fighting which featured a SPEAR as the only weapon in the demo.

Well then, there must be a definition of spear which means stick with a knob at the end, cause that doesn't look like an impaling weapon, which is the usual meaning of spear.

I have to agree with this. Although this is probably not the right forum for it (try suggestions) I still think this is a good idea. A couple of weeks ago I finally broke down and deleted my first lv50 toon. He was just completely ineffective for my playstyle. It would have been REALLY nice to have the option of some sort of super-respec to buy from the store, so as to not waste the levels and badges I had earned in getting him to 50.
