Has anyone tried this?

Know how you can toggle a PA move then go into a maintain when timed correctly?

Micro Munitions + Sword Cyclone.

Was wondering if the 'munitions' part would only appear to come from the front...or would they just start spraying all over the room since your toon would be spinning? That would look hilariously amazing.

Unless MM turns off once you move, I forget if it does or not, in which case, would give me the

You can move with MM, but losing line of sight shuts it off, like Mini Gun.

But 'Death Blossom' move would be cool. :biggrin:

LOL that's almost exactly what I pictured when thinking about it.

Unfortunately, the PA readying anim will override most non-PA maintains when used like this. So even if the non-PA spell's effects go off, w/ glowy hands and all that, ur toon is stuck in that hunched over stance till the PA power is finished.

There are a few exceptions, though. From my testing, these maintains will not only override the PA anim, but smoothly transit from it.. which is weird:

TGM
PBR
AR
SMG Burst
Storm of Arrows (likely cause its anim is already bugged)

Unfortunately, that means for things like Sword Cyclone, ur toon won't be spinning around (the sword's motion effects still show up, though). It was kinda funny pairing the PA toggle w/ Quicksand or r3 Shuriken Storm.

Confirmed.

Just did MM with SC, it was actually pretty neat looking. I did stay hunched over firing missiles, but the added effect of the twirling swords and tornado effect was still pretty neat.

Something I did notice: When moving, and both were turned on, my toon automatically would stay "pointed" at my initial target, so I never lost LOS. Whenever I would move from group to group with SC, MM would pick up new targets as they got into LOS, but never broke it when I was turning every which way while moving.

I assume it does this every time, but never really tested that due to most of my PA toons being 'set-n-shooters.'

People that don't read the forums would probably wonder what the heck is going on in Alerts though.

I would probably use Epidemic though to both fuel and be fueled by Concentration.

The Mini Gun thing is still pretty neat, but the coolness factor of MM + Epidemic is off the charts.

...still...woulda been amazing to see the cyclone of death happen.
