What if...

[StepoKedur]

...force choke hit the mind pool rather than health? (With a tiny bit more DOT strength)

An extra note:
(Is a move from choke health damage to choke mind damage a feasible thing Devs? Would this affect Akxva or however she is spelled much? Could this be tested sometime when pub 9 reaches test centre please?)

Just putting it out there!

...also, in case there is a chance that force choke happens to you, here is a handy leaflet to print out and read beforehand:

SWG originally intended for 18+ (credit card needed) as for the EMU who knows *shrug*
Stepos post is as offensive as you want it to be,i see blue you see orange.

[Darkspecialist]

finally rained last night

[StepoKedur]

I apologise if some folks were offended by the Archer gifs...

The point however is still what do people think if force choke damage was changed from health to mind?

Any thoughts?

[lassic]

I think it would be cool for us to have it that way, and not cool for axkva and her cronies to have it that way.

I thought the gifs were amazing. Too much of this going around.

As you folks may have seen, well some have out in the field, I have been testing my mPowers a lot, trying to find effective combos.

It's really hard to even match the DPS of even a 4xx4 LS setup (mindblast and forcethrow are pretty weak and heavy force cost too). It isn't an easy prof (mPowers) but it is fun!

I have no idea what pub 9 will bring, or anything coming with that special Awakening flavour, so I thought what would be useful, not OP and help bring a little balance to mPowers, and thought as a simple coding excersise it should be reletivly simple to change it from health to mind. I would presume so anyway

As is well known powers has a few things broke (the subjugate line for creatures) and the DPS is very poor. Although Awakening staff have vastly improved lightning by increasing distance a little, the damage (LS) and speed at tier 3/4 (2 seconds).

I would say at master the force cost would be nice to be reduced for the attacks to make it a viable alternative (glass cannon) to lightsabres, but again we don't know what is coming down the pipeline, and so I suggested this as it's easy(ish) to do and still does not "break the bank".

I agree with you on the Axkva thing totally.

A way to deal with her currently would be in another thread I commented on a few minutes ago. However that skillset is a very specific one, and would not lend itself well to general combat.

[Darkspecialist]

done arguing

[StepoKedur]

What did you think of the proposal Darkspecialist? (...and you others as well!)

[Darkspecialist]

I have no opinion, I am not well trained in the class to give a decent opinion sorry.

[davej30]

cant see why not,mls has 1 hand head hit.I always thought choke should be a mind attack.

[StepoKedur]

Out of curiosity, what are the mind DOTs from CMs hitting and ticking for these days? How long do they last?

[Royan]

Normal ones I have are about 1100. I think the better enhanced ones are 1600-1800ish

Edit: Misremembered numbers, see below

[StepoKedur]

Is that per tick Roy? Or is there an initial damage there too?

[Royan]

Per tick - no initial damage

Checked on my CM real quick and I misremembered the value. The ones I have are more like 900. You can adjust the top end off that probably - more around 1200-1400 maybe? Mine were made with *okay* venoms. I know a lot of people have much better stock of poisons.

[lassic]

I have some that will last for 16+ minutes that will tick for 900-1400. That doesn't even account for a whole spread of them. A,B,C. That is just a C.

[Drakathos]

I have some that will last for 16+ minutes that will tick for 900-1400. That doesn't even account for a whole spread of them. A,B,C. That is just a C.

That would mean it has to have 700 effectiveness to tick for 1400 per so it needs a venom power of 300 or so, rare drops.

I can stack 4k mind tick using my arsenal.

[StepoKedur]

Thanks for the info lads and lasses. It looks like the choke, as it is damage wise even if moved to a mind attack isn't anywhere near as potent at the CM stuff...which is great as it wouldn't be anywhere near as game breaking but still is lacking a little.
