Rest well Mr. Jobs. You will be remembered.

Per the Ustream:
"Spinning Strike
It's smaller than the Whirling xxxx type powers on purpose to give it more damage. It's also a Targetted AoE rather than a PBAoE." -

Hey Derp,
Did you know that there are other AoE powers in Armor Sets and Patrons? -

If you liked NOTHING about going rogue then you would have a point.
Neither of us are going to get our money back. There are ways to obtain more AoE outside of the Primary for Brutes. Mu Mastery is the defacto MOAR AOE Patron. Most brutes who want more AoE go this route and have for many years. You can also pair SJ with a secondary that has a damage aura and/or a power like Burn to make-up for the lack of AoE damage.
These options exist for a reason. -
Quote:The best AoE toons, for Brutes, use more than just Footstomp. In other words, pick up a patron that offers the best AoE for more AoE. That's why those options exist.Originally Posted by Shubbie
No I say dont buy it, if you want to have any reasonable aoe.
Its a very weak aoe and doesnt offer enough otherwise.
UNless you want to have someone powerlevel you or you will team all the time and leech off other people's aoe, you are going to have a very very long trip to 50 once you hit the 30's when you start needing a thousand or so mobs for each level. -

I can't believe I'm saying this, but OP has a point.
Now that we are buying sets a la carte, people will choose to buy or not buy sets based on the qualities of those sets. To ensure that the most customers possible are happy with what they buy, it does fall upon the devs to provide as complete and accurate information about the product as possible before purchase.
There are many ways that this could be done in the future, as new tech is implemented: allow a character to be built all the way to the registration step with an unpurchased set before requiring purchase to continue, allow characters with unpurchased sets to be created on a test server with the accurate live numbers, or whatever other solution meets the needs of the customers and developers.
However, there is one thing the developers can do right now, with only the tech that is live at this moment: when a new powerset is released, post a list of all the correct in-game names of all the powers for every AT that gets it, so that we can pull up the existing in-game information sheets on those powers. It's not an ideal solution, but it can be done immediately, and I think it should.
I didn't get to try it out before I bought it. I was not subscribed at the time of Beta and came back after if was live. -

TO me this set was NOT worth my money.
I wish you luck on getting your refund. Just be calm, level-headed and avoid using hyperbole when talking with customer service. -
Quote:You have yet to provide a reason as to why they should be increased.Originally Posted by Shubbie
There is NO reason though either the range of sweep cant be made 10' or the arc 90% and the cap raised to 10.

Quote:Footstomp - 15 ft radius, 10 targetsOriginally Posted by Shubbie
Lets look at that for a moment.
Whirling hands is in EM, which has for a while been considered a weak set.
Elec however is strong so lets look at that. lets get up mids here.
Jacobs ladder about the same stats as sweep, okie, but Elec also has thunderstrikes, chain induction and lightning rod which has a whopping 20' radius.
Whirling Mace - 8ft, 10 targets
Tremor - 15ft, 10 targets
Burst - 8 ft, 10 targets
FSC - 10 ft, 10 targets
Whirling Hands - 8ft, 10 targets
Thunderstrike - 7ft, 10 targets from targeted critter
Spin - 8ft, 10 targets
Whirling Axe - 8ft, 10 targets
You seem to just want a footstomp clone. Not. Going. To. Happen. -
I'd also like to make note the other AoE power is a Cone and its range and arc are right in line with other powers.
Jacob's Ladder - 7ft, 50 degrees
Shadow Maul - 7ft, 45 Degrees
Shatter - 8ft, 45 degrees -
Quote:The target caps are in line with most AoE powers. Whirling hands, Thunderstrike, Fire Sword Circle, etc etc etc are 10 targets.Originally Posted by Shubbie
Because the Dpa and dps numbers are fine, no need to do the calculations.
ITs the aoe's that are atrocious, the single target being weaker than SS is secondary.
its the low target caps and miniscule aoe thats the problem especially for a set with only 2 aoe.
And Footstomp has a target cap of 10 also... -
Quote:Nope.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
15 targets obviously.
Thunderstrike max targets is 10. -
Quote:15 what?Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
Don't other AoE's all cap at 15?

Quote:I'm sorry, did I miss your DPA and DPS calculations? You keep using subjective terms as definitive statements (insanely, weak, miniscule, etc). If you want to be convincing then I propose you provide factual data that shows the discrepencies in a more objective light.Originally Posted by Shubbie
the target caps for the two aoes are 5 and 10 respectivly, and the aoe distance insanely small. Its very difficult to hit anything with the aoe. The radius on the aoe is also a miniscule 7 feet and 50% arc and 6 feet radius.
Footstomp has a 15 foot radius and a 16 target cap, it does more with 1 power than Stj does with 2.
Also the heavy hitter, have almost exactly the same stats except KO does a bit more damage.
ITs a weak set, it was changed after it came off beta but before live, so its not the same set I beta tested.
Lastly, you shouldn't compare any new AoE power to Footstomp. Instead, you should avoid using Footstomp in any comparison. It's an out-lier. -
Please provide your hard numbers that support your statement of SJ being the weakest set in terms of ST and AOE damage.
Otherwise people might misconstue your posts as being childish. -

Quote:YES! That was the other thing I forgot this morning. When the episode was done my wife looked over at me and said, "Um, why didnt they just place the bomb on the wrong in that one spot where she made the new barrier?"Originally Posted by TerraDraconis
I'm wondering why they didn't put the bomb in that little shielded bubble.
I didn't really have a good explanation.
I agree.Quote:Originally Posted by TerraDraconis
I'll say this that was a far better end for HG if they go with it than just being Janused. -
Quote:Really? There weren't two opening credits/closing credits and it was time slotted as one long episode. I guess they must have decided to run them together.Originally Posted by Frostbiter
It felt like two different episodes because it was.

I really enjoyed the first half of the episode (up until finding Jinx). The music and such leading up to finding Jinx was very well done, and so was the acting After that, it almost seemed like a different writer took hold of the show. Parts seemed rushed and otherwise boring.
My main gripe about this show is that stupid body control horse whippy thingy. Ugh. It was so over used that it made me angry. Ok, not angry, but I openly said 'ugh' outloud quite often).
It will be interesting to see how Artie proceeds with the watch and what Claudia plans to do.
What does everyone think of Claudia's destiny? It's been hinted at a few times in the past, including this episode. -
Saweet!

That was a fun few minutes. Thank you for posting those.

I click 'Claim All.' Confirm a few power selections (blackwand, Sands of Mu, etc) and done.
Where's the issue? -

That's just fluff. The description could just as easily have said that you teleport at the enemies. It's a teleportation effect, it should be a teleport power. In fact the same power could be in both pools, just with different special effects.
