Earth Powerset Confuses Me

glortorglortor Posts: 331 Arc User
So here we have a physical powerset whose best powers are split straight down the middle between Ranged and Melee but Melee seem worthless and Ranged seem subpar to literally anything else you can do ranged. How do you build Earth right so it's competitive with BCF, PA, FC, or anything else that seems worth playing?

    Well, you have to first define what you mean by "worth playing." If you mean only top tier dps, then, yes, Earth won't do. However, I have an Earth DPS build using Medusa OV gloves + Hurl + Onslaught that pulls his own weight. Not top of the chart, but OK. I also have an Earth Tank based around Upheaval who handles cosmic-type duties just fine.

    I am of the opinion that for Earth to be a whole powerset, they need to, for lack of a better term, give it the TK treatment. As in have viable sides for both melee and ranged.

    Frankly, in my opinion, ALL sets need melee and ranged powers. And, utility, heals, rez, etc. Some sets already do this. MORE would be welcome.
