New Archetype: Dragon Spirit
This is a free archetype.
Balanced Role
Strength-Dexterity-Recovery
Warden-Brawler
Power Progression:
The Fist
Corrected diminishing returns on this archetype.
Added a hue override on this archetype so all powers have matching hues.
Overall Goals: We wanted to standardize this archetype to be more in line with other archetype setups and give a couple more power choices and survival tools.
New progression path:
The Master
Corrected diminishing returns on this archetype.
Added a hue override on this archetype so all powers have matching hues.
Replaced Strength secondary superstat with Recovery.
Gave The Master a new innate talent that includes Recovery.
Added "The Protector" innate talent that has the Master's old values.
Overal Goals: We wanted to smooth out this archetype's power choices as it relied on Thundering Kicks for quite some time to deal damage, which isn't very exciting when leveling up.
Replaced Strength with Recovery to assist this archetype with early level energy management. While strength helps it deal more damage, it's not critical to any of its abilities.
Give the archetype more tools to tank with.

- 1 Vicious Strikes
- 1 Thundering Kicks
- 6 Thunderbolt Lunge OR Chained Kunai

- 40 Masterful Dodge

How is Stoic Flight? You fly in this position?
Can you use your powers?
Aaand...Devastating Strike. Is that a leg sweep or..?
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

Where are they?
i need my stylish foot wear
Sidenote: The costume's picture should be removed from the Lockbox Blog It's kinda misguided
@kaizerin, may we have the cowboy robot's Dance Fool Dance! attack made into a power? Pah-leeeze?
Anyways, love to see the new stuff once I got some time. The Oni Costumes are probably one of the best sets made in-game yet.

My MA characters haven't been given a respec - is that as intended? One is a Master build, the other more DPS/Fist so I assumed they would... is it only in relation to certain powers?
Thanks!
Epic Stronghold
Block timing explained
Removed Gifts of the Storm advantage. A new version of this advantage has been moved to Bountiful Chi Resurgence."
No, you didn't.
[at]riviania Member since Aug 2009
Please contact customer service if you have a character (freeform or archetype) with unarmed martial arts abilities who did not receive a respec.
Keep in mind that the free respec is seperate from others, and does not stack, so be sure to check that out first.
"Fixed a bug where the dodge buff could fall off if you blocked too quickly."
- Dear god, thank you for this, you have no idea how annoying working around that was.
"Changed the dodge buff so it wouldn't reduce in effectiveness against high level targets."
- Again, thank you for this. This made Teleios Ascaendant a bit of a pain
"Reduced the duration of the dodge buff to 12 seconds (from 15)."
- ...WHY!?!?!? Was that extra 3 seconds REALLY that big of a deal? Now I have that much less time to do actual damage with something other than Thundering Kick's pathetic damage.
"This power is now an area effect. Cost slightly increased for being an area effect."
- I mean... like... sure I guess... but... the damage still sucks...
"New Advantage #1"
- So my awesome Form of the Master advantage is now a useless add on to a power that I already don't have any advantage points left because I need rank 3 for the +18% dodge bonus? ...great.
"New Advantage #2"
- So I'm spending advantage points to turn my dodge bonus into a different combo power? Why not just make a different combo power?
"Floating Lotus Blossom"
- Still garbage. Don't be fooled. Still no reason to take this over rank 3.
"Crashing Wave Kick"
- Thanks for adding Trauma, but the dodge advantage is now garbage, so it's irrelevant again.
"Drunken Master Advantage"
- Aversion buff to Dodge and Avoidance is awesome, but why is it only on Critical hits on your Energy Builder? Ugh.
Overall, bug fixes were great, but reliable and effective dodge tanking is still impossibly difficult, and probably even harder now unless you have all the best gear and mods, like me.
(my dodge tank was finally at 100% at Kiga, bleh.)
I feel like unarmed was rushed through the assembly line, which is unfortunate because I was really hoping this one would turn out a lot better than it did. Disregarding a lot of really good feedback ended up hurting the overall quality of the end product.

Suggestion
Allow for Fury of the Dragon's FX to be completely colorable when changing the hue
I want an ice ghost dragon :<
Seriously, it just changed...

Based on the description, I'd say it's functionally the same as regular flight, just with a different idle pose.

Suggestion: Can we have this BUG as a feature for future TK weapon skins?
This is amazing, don't even worry about the Clipping
