You saw that in more of the newer Power Sets. Since the flexibility of choices wasn't something that could be easily granted, the idea was to make the choices as compelling as possible. |

I think I made that exact suggestion for an Assault/Buff AT a couple years back. ;_;

Be well, people of CoH.
The Striker was meant to have burst melee and range dps, and the ability to survive high damage for a short amount of time.
The Striker could start out ranged, and start building up a melee damage buff. Once the buff is maximized, the Striker would then pop into melee range and then begin building up a ranged buff. Take a few alpha strikes, pop out and begin again. There would also be some CC abilities as well in case a breather was needed.
Oh, and one of the melee Power Sets for Strikers would have been a variation of Dark Melee, but.....with a shadow scythe.
