Totally false. Again, you aren't understanding what this power is for and what it is meant to do or how to use it.

Also false. The -Def in Katana and BS stack with each attack. So does the -ToHit from DM. -Speed and -Rech stacks from each attack in Spines. One hit from any of those sets really isn't going to do much. Stack them together through the appropriate attack chains and they become effective.

I don't consider it to be a damage dealing attack. It's not meant to be one.

In your opinion. Paruse the scrapper forums sometime and look at the comparison of DPS numbers between the sets. MA is on par with the others and doesn't require any further damage boosts.

So.... blasters shouldn't take AIM or Build Up at all?

You're comparing apples to oranges here. These are two different powers from two entirely differnt sets.

The logic of your argument also fails here (again). Cobra Strike used on a boss will do minor damage and lay down a stun, therefore it is doing more than 1 thing. Stacking the stuns from Thunder Kick or Eagle's Claw onto a boss provides the effect, just as stacking the fear from ToF or any of the DB combos.

These powers are meant to be used in concert with each other. This is why there are more than one power in each set.

Which is exactly what Cobra Strike has; Minor Damage and Stun.

It's damage is not meant to be equal to other attack powers in the set. Also, this logic fails when comparing Cobra Strike to Stun in Energy Manipulation/Melee.

If you're attempting to use this as part of a high damage attack chain, you're using it wrong.

You left out Riverdance

Just my 2 inf, but MA is meant to be a ST damage dealer, not a heavy AoE set. The much touted "lack of secondary effects" is mostly due to skipping the powers that stack the stun effects (this is similar in concept to how DB combos work - if you want the stun to be effective, take the powers that provide it). I have all but Warriors Challenge in my main and I've never experienced any problems perma stunning a target whilst I pommel them into oblivion.

IIRC, MA also has a higher crit chance on a few of the powers in comparison to other scrapper sets.

Just out of curiousity, what kinds of debuffs did you have on her? If you had 3 RADs dropping all that -ToHit and -Regen on her, I'd say there is something whacky going on.

Haven't tried the STF in a while, but we've always been successful with tons of Debuffs on her.

No, you don't.

That's entirely not true. First, IO sets are impacted by ED just as normal SOs. To believe toons with IO set builds are "far superior" is simply not true. This all depends on power selection and slotting. What makes one toon "superior" to another is player skill, not IO sets. Personally, I've teamed with plenty of people who have not a single IO set in their build that do just as well as those with them.

I sure do! It's fairly simple, since my main served in the military on her world.

I'd much rather see resources go into creating new content. As I said, and my opinion only, the game doesn't need another "origin". Programming effort is better spent in other areas.

My main is within 10k of the Immortal badge and I've never done a damage farm with her at all. I guess that I'll be the only player ever to get it through non-farming...

If this were true, then Spock would still be dead

It's not a punch... you're pitching a baseball!

I switched out the animations on Cobra Strike and CAK on my MA scrappers. The alternate animation for Eagle's Claw is just so silly looking, it's not worth taking IMO.

In game, it does the same damage/secondary effects as the original animation. Up to your preference if you want to take it or not.

My main is an "alien" who has regenerative abilities far superior to that of any human. Her healing ability is natural to her race, so she is of Natural origin.

This just takes a bit of imagination on the part of the player to mold into the existing origin structure.

Adding in new origins would require new sets of enhancements (DOs and SOs) and stores/contacts that sell them. Personally, I don't see these as necessary.

Yes. Combat logs were also attached in the replies. Castle was also PM'ed and directed to the thread.

The problem, however, this is not the attack he used to stun the target. This is a totally different power with a different animation. This isn't what he's hitting us with... which is kinda why we were asking if Fist of Tyranny is bugged.

Nope.

Which is why I said it is possible the in-game text and stats for Fist of Tyranny are incorrect.

Next time you're online, type [Fist of Tyranny] and you'll see it is stated as a mag 11.50 stun. For comparison, use [Ghost Widow.SoulStorm]... that one is clear in saying it is a Mag 100 hold unresistable.

First time my Stone/Axe got smacked by him, I had 4 Clear Minds on me, plus an Emerge (fairly sure I even had AM on me as well). Those buffs coupled with Granite and Rooted should've been sufficient to overcome a Mag 100 stun. If it is indeed the case that his Fist of Tyranny is Mag 100 unresistable (like GWs Soul Storm), then the in-game info is bugged for sure.
