alternatives to blocking and other things

[Archived Post]

considering the new block animations in the up-coming earth and the new wind. i think they should come out with a alternative blocks for the pre-exisitng power-sets.

Eletric, Force: kneels down like the skockwave power but creates a force field

Fire, Ice: like the earth-set block with respective elements.

Might: Grabs a chunk of earth to block

Heavy Weapons: pulls out a shield to block

Menatlist and Mystic: block animation like the wind powerset.

idea #2

i believe that the supernatural set should be made into its own Archetype powerset (l dont mean the scourge or the savage) and make a plant-set with it, i mean the mean the chains could easily be made into vines. and it's block animation could be like earth's except covered in thorns.

With the whole emanation point review, I think different block animations should be possible.

I have a problem with the kneeling animation you suggested, though: How would a character move while using that for a block?

Force Shield is very often only tapped for the linger effect. If that would start a kneel down animation each time
that wouldn't really be good.

...Then a secondary block power. One that roots the player and increases the knock and holds resistance, I think this would be great for tanks.

I took another look at the PTS and noticed that they changed the block animation for earth :(. I would still like that animation for blocking, don’t get me wrong the new looks good I just like the previous one better. Basically, your entire body was covered in rock, like the earth costume set).

maybe with a lot of your suggestions, but i LIKE my hw block. My hw guy doesn't use a shield, he's all about the weapon.

*sigh <tells self, i really need to be more descriptive with forum entries>

i meant, like alternate skins or animations players can choose much like how you the look of your pet or where the power will be emitting from. Like the toxic or wind breath instead of coming from the mouth it emits from the behind (j/K, although that would be awesome)

If fire shield is changed to a circular fire wall which surrounds player or Force shield is changed to sphere surrounds player or weapon blocks for martial arts, that will be cool. (the small block disks are so boring)
