Any chance of fixing Telekinetic Maelstrom if you haven't fix it yet?
Even on "Max physics Debris objects" slider on ZERO! it spams the same amount of Debris when used on Multiply Enemies (if it hit Objects, you can say goodbye to your Framrate), causing lag and FPS kill to the user and the players!
Seriously this power is efficient but cause tons of LAG because it bypass the physics Debris objects slider!
To nerf that, you have to lower the FX option Low, not debris objects

You know what's fun to do. Use TK Maelstrom right before the End Cutscene to some of these Smash Alerts. LoL. The power will continuously gather more and more rocks throughout the length of the cutscene, and when the cutscene ends you get the enjoy a LAG BOMB FROM HELL!!!
I just wanted to make a note to say how much I am enjoying the Development work going on. Not sure it is all for the best but I am sure someone has a plan!
Bugs:
1. Blazing Body for Immolate advantage still does not activate.
2. Unleashed Tempest (for Energy Storm) does not trigger a cooldown reliably for Consume Energy. More often then not, no cooldown is triggered. Cannot replicate forcing a cooldown.
3. Chilled is not drained/removed during Consume Energy but the effect is still given. Weather the Storm is not advantaged.
4. Laser Knight is not showing a defense increase in sheet. Buff is still showing..
Gonna see if I can't find anything else, those are the big ones though.
As far as I know, to make the STO comparison, the Lockbox ships are roughly on-par with the Lobi Crystal ships, and both are -slightly- inferior to Fleet ships, which we have no parallel to. Some of them *cough* Galor, ARE in fact, superior to the ships that you can buy without Fleet access.
So with fleet access the ships that can be purchased directly still have the edge even over the Galor right?
Bugs:
5. Evasive Maneuvers Sleight of Hand Advantage puts you in stealth (or shows to) but the stealth does not count as stealth for Shadow Strike's increased damage. Tested both when target dropped and it did not.
Yeah, Evasive's Sleight of MIND not granting a damage increase to Shadow Strike is actually INTENDED.
This is not a bug at all.
The ONLY thing which should increase Shadow Strikes Damage are the following:
- An Active Offensive
- Stealth Toggle from Night Warrior
No other forms of stealth SHOULD increase Shadow Strikes damage.
(Smoke Bomb's used to and it was allowing for in excess of 57k Shadow Strikes on things like Gravitar, thankfully this was fixed.)
That's somewhere in the pile of recent fixes, but I'm not sure if that came in before or after our last live push.
No worries, I've just seen it on the LIVE patch that is currently going through!
Will the LIVE patch include the changes to Become Devices? I've only noticed Become Frank's Passive being altered so far. However I am assuming the dodge/avoid and crit chance/severity changes to BECOME DEVICES are coming with this push. Would I be correct?
I don't know how the hell you are getting 57k shadow strike even with smoke bomb. does brawler role affect it perhaps? remember shadow strike scales differently from most damage powers, many things that you put into your build won''t affect it the same way, and shadow strike cannot crit.
You should really READ my posts before quoting them all the time. :rolleyes:
I am not currently getting Shadow Strike to hit for 57K on Gravitar or any other source for that matter.
Shadow Strikes "scales" on Stealth or No Stealth and benefits from your level and deals damage (with variance) based on your target in question and their respective resistances.
Everyone knows SS cannot crit.
You can use it in RDPS or Brawler Role and get a "similar" damage power, however since it is melee Brawler will naturally do things for it.
EDIT: Just to clarify, no other forms of stealth (to my knowledge) increase the damage output of Shadow Strike, besides Stealth toggle from Night Warrior.
I read your posts. whether its current or not wasn't the point. and I know how SS works.
The question was how you ever got that much not how you get it now
and it was just that. a question. why all the hostility.
Hostility? Individual Differences in interpretation from presented information is truly an interesting thing to observe.
Since you read my original post, you'd see it required no feedback it was a statement regarding Evasive Manoeuvres Advantage and how the tester in question thought it should buff Shadow Strikes Damage.
As for how it was achieved, even though I personally tested this on PTS (and subsequently reported it along with others), I do not believe it is in my interests or that of anyone else to know how something which is no longer achievable worked. Especially when it was not intended.
Wait, I'm confused then. Smoke Bomb DOES actually put you into stealth that counts for the purpose of Shadow Strike, at least on Live. So that it was changed and that it still works is a bug?
How to replicate: choose any Laser Sword power, enter the tailor and check the weapons tab. You can choose any of the Martial Arts Melee weapons you have unlocked. This choice however has no effect in game. To verify this go into the training room and attack a target. You will still be using the default Laser Sword.
I brought up this issue before the Fatal Error changes to the Laser Swords. They were echoed during the changes but were not addressed. And so I am bringing this back to your attention. I have made numerous suggestions on ways to fix it. You can check my sig for one of the many ways.
Anyway just wanted to point that out in case it got lost in the shuffle, thanks have a good day.

Shadow Strike used to do extra damage if you were stealthed by Sneak and do double damage if you were stealthed by Smoke Bomb. Activating both caused Shadow Strike to get both bonuses.

Smoke Bomb should put you in stealth. However the stealth should not count towards a damage increase to Shadow Strike, I believe that is only reserved for Stealth (From Night Warrior Passive).
I know that the smoke bomb increasing Shadow Strike's damage was an issue but this was fixed.
Smoke Bomb's Stealth does count towards Stealth for Shadow Strike but it should not and doesn't not quadruple SS's Damage output.
However Stealth from EM's SoM advantage is IMO too momentary to be using to fire off Shadow Strike to warrant it counting towards stealthed form.
Smoke Bomb is a longer stealth so it counts. That is my understanding.
So with fleet access the ships that can be purchased directly still have the edge even over the Galor right?
I'm not sure exactly where the Fleet ships would come in relative to stuff like the Galor and the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship, because it becomes a more nuanced comparison and I have none of them. The thing is though, Champions currently lacks a proper parallel to the Fleet system and the ships it gives you. Sure, they might be "directly purchasable", but only if you have a significantly advanced fleet, and it has to be one you've participated in quite a bit due to the Fleet currency costs. The thing is, because of the variety of ships and different specialties, it's hard to just stack C-Store ships vs. Lockbox drops vs. Lobi Crystal ships. There are some C-Store ships that are bad, some that just barely get edged out, and some that come close (largely escorts, AFAIK) but the JAS and Galor are still stand-outs.
Which really just has me bemoaning the lack of support Champs has gotten. A Supergroup system akin to STO's Fleets would have been BADASS.

Oh, that makes sense, thank you (and you as well, Flaming Bunny Man)! I'll remove EM from the bug list I posted since I wasn't sure, so thanks for the explanation.

If those are Live Server bugs, you should be posting them in a new thread in the bugs forum, not on Test.

I don't think they're from live. If they are, I've not run into them as I don't have a character with energy storm on there.
