Doom Cloud

That is the name used for those darkness things that wander around Burnside and spit out ghosts. This suggestion is a fairly simple one from my travel power suggestions. Doom Cloud Tunneling.

Well, that's the first one comes to mind anyway, as it seems fairly obvious. There could also be an Earth Flight reskin using a more cloud shaped bit of that stuff. Or, same thing but on Energy Slide. Really, this effect could have tons of applications that'd probably be pretty popular. A cloud of that stuff at phase in and out on a Teleport would work quite well too. The teleports of now are mostly not really as dark looking as our original dimensional powers, which seems like something we should really address given the dimensional nature of Teleport's tooltip.

    You can already make Earth Flight into a Cloud Flight....fly up fairly high turn off the power then turn it back on before you land and you're flying on a thunder cloud :biggrin:

    Take the graphical effect for ebon void, lay it flat, then use it in place of the hover disc for a new travel power.

    Do the same with the sorcery block power.

    Energy shield, from Power Armor, would also look cool.

    Ice's, Force's, and Telekinesis' blocks would also be good candidates for this treatment.

    Letting aside the fact that that I don't even think that really looks good when people do it, it doesn't have the kind of effect I'm talking about. That's a cloud of dust, while this is the name of those dark puddle like things in Burnside. So, it looks a lot like the Darkness power set.

    These are all good reskin ideas for the hover disc, for sure. Perhaps Flattening them out a bit in the case of the more convex ones, though.

    Well, well, this thread is certainly not about what I envisioned when I read the title...

    I figured this would be either a doom thread or one about really bad gas...

    This has been suggested a few times as "Shadow Tunneling". And I still agree that we need a power like this.

    Ah, yeah I can see that working quite well too. Melting into the shadows and zipping around like that, reminds me of Shadow Dancers a bit.
