I don't see too many people who are melee focused actually use the melee passives. Usually it's defiant, AoPM, or LR. Granted, this is from the narrow grouping of people I find in the T4 arenas. Quarry is still best anyways.

Are you using gigabolt for the taps? If so, I'd keep that. Otherwise I'd suggest Chest Beam for charges. Drop Nanobot Swarm and resurgence, get Conviction and maybe Mindful Reinforcement (It looks kind of electric.) They're not superb and conviction is a lot better than resurgence if you don't need something to break free from holds. Plus Conviction can be gotten early on, being a tier 1 power. And maybe ball lightning instead of Sonic device, so you'd have more to play off of ionic reverberation. You could rank down your energy builder or drop the advantage to get the one on ball lightning.

New patch up on the Public test shard. Unfortunately it introduced a bug that causes the game to crash when you try to view the full list of powers. On the plus side, they're adding some cool things to gadgetry:
New Power Armor power:
And a new kick to Might which acts as a repel or a knock if you charge it.

That build has little in the way of survivability. You could drop EBB for Ego Weaponry, or go Weaponry > EBB. (Because weaponry is really good with dex/ego now, and you really only need one thing for spike damage or maybe the sweet Debuff) You could replace Force Shield with Energy Shield + Laser Knight if you're going to be in Melee a lot, and maybe pick up Bionic Shielding instead of Telekinesis (I admit it is a fun power and not useless now.) I guess it comes down to your style, but I personally do not enjoy being completely devoid of healing capability.

I am a happy idiot.  But I didn't see that at first, you had the powers listed in a weird order. Yeah. Ego Weaponry has a decent heal, and the increased crit chances from Leech really helps.

Ranking up form of the swordsman isn't a terrible idea, but get nailed to the ground and the stun on your Thunderbolt Lunge. the knock-to on the throwing knife is up to preference really. Edit: A Dragon Bite is also Not Terrible. The numbers look smaller than other attacks but that's just because it's a double hit. It also gives the Rush Buff which reduces the cost of all your powers and gives some energy return. Allatum fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Sep 16, 2011 |

Taking numbers into account, Hundred Fists is about on par with Chainsaw (except it hits a wider area) and Ego Blade Frenzy (But hits less targets) I think Chainsaw can manage more damage outright, but Fists will do two hits every half second, which can do a lot of damage. Provided you're not running Elite and fighting a boss with defiant or invuln. I think the T3s need a bit of beefing up though, They both have potential but they're kind of weak on damage. However, Open Palm currently doesn't apply knock resist on taps, so you can get endless fun of knocking junk over.

It will probably be fixed in the next PTS update. Telekinetic Burst was doing a similar thing with its knockdown when it was added and they changed that. I'm hoping both it and the uppercut get some damage boosts, though. If you compare Open Palm Strike to other tier 3 single targets, it's a bit underwhelming unless you want a Haymaker-esque knock that costs less, and has a shorter charge. Edit: Looks really cool though. I guess I just like Hadoukens.

Depending on how you do it, haymaker and demolish are redundant. Demolish is a good setup or single target attack, and Uppercut provides a good setup for it. As for Grimoire, they're more about area control and support. Lightning sigils are good to rank up, and they get a decent AoE heal option somewhere along the line.

Going three ways with the talents is only +18 to each, which used to be a nice secondary item's worth of stats. Before the Adventure Pack drops and PvP vendor items at least.

The item modification system is looking to be incredibly grindy with increasing chances of failure if you want the higher quality stuff. As for nerfs, they're reducing the number of secondary items you can have to one row. It wouldn't bother me so much if they'd provide some incentive for old characters to re-do content besides "Hey, you're going to be gimped compared to newer characters." From an admittedly arbitrary PvP standpoint, I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to spot those teleporting rascals without a full load out of detection utility items, either.

Would I have to newly mourn this waste of a system if I came back for PVP? The PvP crowd is dumb. I wouldn't waste your time unless you want to really learn how it all works, and then throw away any idea of theme if you want to be ~the best.~ Even then, the only arena people queue for is BASH which can be a clusterfuck.

It's already easy to be effectively permanently invisible against some mobs and players by using rank 3 Smoke grenades, Superstatted Dex, and Shadowform. Put Evasive Maneuvers and the Frost Beast in there for insurance and then nothing will ever see you again.

Brave New World posted:
One thing that always bothered me about CO's pets is that you could never give them a theme like Mastermind pets. Hell, they really only feel like masses of fodder you summon, then press your auto attack to let them do all the work. I miss my Ninja/Poison mastermind I had way back but I jumped ship on CoX three years ago nearly on account of the Early AE being nothing much more than boring grind groups. It was hard to find anything else to do at the time. Now I just hope CO can pick up the slack of content. Or maybe even introduce the Foundry they had for STO.

Section Z posted:For an insane man dead set on the simple gimmick that is 'Laser Knight ASAP' (The Power Armor shield advantage), what melee (aside from claws, gently caress claws) would look coolest with it? It shows up whenever you do melee attacks. I think it looks neat with Ego Blades, but power armor also has its own in-set particle blades now. There's also single blade, but there's not a ton of AoE options with that.

Two Gun Mojo is actually a somewhat decent power now. The range isn't superb but you still keep a lot of mobility compared to some of the other range maintains. Excluding TK assault I guess.

I wish CO's costume parts had the detail that some of CoX's. Some are good, but a lot of the older stuff just looks lazy in comparison. I think the only stuff I really miss are proper auras and the customizable bases. I doubt CO will ever have anything on par with CoX's bases though.

Vermain posted:Unless they dramatically changed it from the last time I played, you have a single good attack (Tiger's Bite?) in the entire line. It's a really good attack, but it's never-the-less the only one worth taking. Dragon's Claw, but yeah. It's pretty much the only good attack of the set, and that's only if you're going to be getting critical hits frequently. There's no AoE or any kind of control that's specific to the set.

Bluhman posted:Not only this, but this does make a potential for a very cheap and fairly quick (if not very boring) method of farming Q-boxes: How many does he drop? Another way is to work your way through Serpent Lantern to the Second Bunker. Kill Frosty, DON'T use the keycard after you loot everything. He still gives double drops of everything, including questionite boxes. It might take a little longer but if you can do it reliably that's 400 to a potential 3,000 Q per run.
