Force speed1 with lightning

Hi folks,

Been doing a little testing and noticed that although /forceSpeed1 indeed makes sabre attacks a one second per attack affair, my lightning is still on a six second timer.

The spiel for the speed ability says that 'your actions are sped up to unnatural speeds from the Force'. Is this working as intended?

cool catch

I would imagine that it only applies to physical abilities. If you notice when you hit it it says "You feel yourself begin to move with unnatural speed" or something to that effect. When it wears off you get a message letting you know your movement speed is back to normal.

That's about all I got. =)

Do yourself a favor and drop powers. Even with the changes it's just not worth it.

Has anyone actually tried master powers? Is it really not worth it? Really dont want to invest the time and discover it's crap.

Yes and even with the changes, not worth it.

Powers is being tweaked and balanced to be on par as an alternative to lightsaber. The emu has made a lot of changes as of recent and we shall be making some of our own.

Appreciate the info. Good to hear there is a viable choice for dealing damage

I've been following the commits on emu and I hope buffs continue because the first round through didn't really make powers even close to level with other specs. Although a step in the right direction.

As far as I know I was the only jedi to actually go MPowers and I enjoyed the spec but with the massive force cost, poor accuracy, massive delays and really poor damage per/force (after buffs) it's still so below par. With MLS being so incredibly powerful though I'm not really sure how you could balance the MPower trees to be on par. I have some ideas and would gladly have a pow-wow with you guys when/if you make server specific changes to the trees.

As always, I am more than willing to jump on test. I'm not mpowers anymore but i'm sure one of you cuties could help me on with that if need be.

Thanks for the info Cynar

Any chance you could reveal a loose timeframe for the next powers tweak? I understand totally of course if that cannot be revealed yet...

No eta. I'm going to press our devs to mess with it. You should have a option of choice between saber and powers, and both options should be viable/equal for gameplay.
