The Unleashed AT

The Unleashed is a dual-weild AT but it does not have access to Strike Down (the dual-weild lunge), So I would like to propose adding Strike Down to the Unleashed AT, I would suggest placing it at 11th level so you could choose between Strike Down and Force Snap

Thank You for your consideration

    this gets my vote, it's a good idea...and possibly add Steadfast into it somewhere...

    Can't say I like the Unleashed AT or ever intend to play it again, but yeah. It's not a bad idea to have a lunge as an option on the same level with Force Snap.
    The biggest problem with Force Snap is that it can be countered with knock resistance, so it's not a reliable way of closing gaps for a melee AT. Another problem comes with NPC AI - mobs have tendency to run back to their initial position after being knocked and drawn to player - same problem with similarily working advantage on one of the Specialist's power. There's a good reason why it's rarely taken...

    Granted, the Specialist was also a melee AT with no lunge until recently, but the Specialist had no need for closing the gap because of having more ranged attacks as well.​​

    The unleashed wasn't given a lunge basically for PvP reasons. If it had had a lunge, it would have been even more of an unstoppable beast in AT PvP than it was at the time. Hell, it can even demolish FF characters pretty easily.

    However, since PvP ( especially AT PvP, LOL ) no longer matters, it'd be fine to give it the lunge. Hell, replace Force Snap entirely with it, that power is garbage.

    Oh, I'd balance it for PvP riiiight away.

    Except this wouldn't be a way of adding lunge everyone's hoping for.

    Move Form of The Tempest to level 11.

    Now, when the power picking requirements are met...

    Put the lunge at level 14 as a choice instead of the Force Geyser.

    And Force Snap as a choice to the Containment Field.


    I wonder how many players would take the lunge... tiger-2.gif​​
