City of Heroes Pick a primary, please! Screenshot
   


ok so I decided to make this character, Crimson-Dervish, and I haven't decided on a primary for her secondary, Super Reflexes. I have narrowed it down to either Claws or Martial Arts. Please help!

MA all the way. By far my favorite set in the game.

  Aurrius on 06/21/07 12:14

Claws all the way. By far my favourite set in the game.

  Solarix on 06/21/07 13:10

*sigh*. i need more opinions... thanks, guys, but you kinda cancel each other out lol

  swissarmy68 on 06/21/07 13:21

Empathy all the way. By far my favorite set in the game.

  Str0ker on 06/21/07 13:49

*Shakes fist at Aurrius*

Why You....

  MScott5678 on 06/21/07 15:16

I vote MA...Thats what my 41 scrapper is and he rocks

  swissarmy68 on 06/21/07 15:26

OK... OK, I have to suggest a Scrapper, sorry.

Spines all the way. By far my favorite set in the game.

  swissarmy68 on 06/21/07 15:28

Wait, what?

That wasn't one of the choices?

oh... right...

Martial Arts all the way. By far my favorite set in the game.

Off Topic: Swiss, You are a Loon!

On Topic: Claws. By far not my favorite set in the game. But of the two choices to go with SR, Claws it is. Claws is very endurance light, with solid mitigation. SR will increase its DPS, and you will have less endurance issues than if you went with MA. That said, MA and SR do go together well thematically, and the animations combine pleasantly.

My vote is still Claws, though.

Dark Melee all the way. By far my favorite set in the game.


  bytekhan on 06/21/07 17:53

Slice and Dice. Go with Claws.

  bold-lightning on 06/21/07 18:38

When I hear dervish, I think of the Tazmanian devil from the good ole Looney toons. So my vote is Claws.

  RonJ73 on 06/21/07 21:24

Dark Melee.

  Solarix on 06/21/07 21:28

ok, even though the claws look like they wouldnt fit into her whole arm, let alone her forearm, i think im going to go with claws, because of the Spin move being very dervish-like and they are end-light. thanks for the input!

  greenix on 06/21/07 21:29

MA, she doesn't look like she uses claws... has long legs perfect for clicking. Plus her hands are shown wouldn't want to see the blood from the claws.

Very good choice! You'll find that Claws is the most fantastic power set in the game.

  Cold_Zone_II on 06/22/07 09:50

MA baby, because it's kicks butt

  RonJ73 on 06/22/07 09:54

I went for the Dark Melee because of the numbers game. SR gives great defense bonuses. Add in the ToHit Debuff of the Dark Melee powers and you won't be getting hit anytime soon.

what?!  Steel_Prime on 06/22/07 14:40

Don't know how you had it slotted, but just about every attack in claws has a lower endurance cost compared to a comparable power in another set. They also tend to have significantly lower recharge times. Nasazi has a Claws/Regen and only gets end issues when Hasten is active. And even then, its not a major issue. My Spine/Regen would end drain through both QR and Stam (3 slotted SOs) with or without hasten.

  Grifter0408 on 06/23/07 15:31

MA! And I ain't talkin about your mama!

  giles202 on 06/25/07 19:55

MA, just cuz the animations are cooler and they seem to deal more damage, BUT if the options were more vast go with BS/DAut cuz i teamed with one and she tanked tyrant.

P.S. WOOT at swiss for empathy!!
