Make a dance into a power.

spinnytopspinnytop Posts: 16,450 Arc User
in Suggestions Box
Make a power where you maintain it and the animation while maintaned is a dance.

example:

Seduction
Infernal
Maintained

While maintained this power Incapacitates surrounding enemies. Uses the Dance_Snake emote.

Advantage: Don't You Know That You're Toxic? - When you finish maintaining the power, all targets have Debilitating Poison applied to them.

Advantage: Boom Boom Boom - When you finish maintaining the power, all targets are knocked back.

Advantage: My Milkshake - While maintaining this power all targets are drawn closer to you.
Squishy DPS builds that can solo QWZ w/videos.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.

    Nah, just take the cocktail dance from STO and make people pay money for it. Would make a bank.

    i don't know what dance would be appropriate, or a good name but...
    Advantage: It's Electric - While maintaining this power, x% chance per tick to apply negative ions to nearby enemies and deal a small amount of damage.

    This is interesting, and could be a good start for more dance based powers.

    That could be cool to be able to build chars based on a "siren", or "mystic shaman dancer" gimmick; could be working like Final Fantasy dancer class, various maintained skills for team buffing , foes debuff and crowd control , heal and damage over time, and bonuses advs for full maintained dances.

    We got a rez fitting the dance theme, a bunch of dances emotes in game to make power animations, even a short one for thematic Active offense or defense power ( the "Spacewalk (spin)" one).

    And summer approaches, so if devs need to make money with someting thematic in the process to be motivated, maybe a support/Hybrid dancer AT, and a lockbox with dancer attire and Shakihana, your support/CC dancer sidekick who can hypnotize foes with her booty dance.

    I digress...


    A lot of potential in OP suggestion, i support.

    Please no.​​
    (Hopefully) Useful CO Resources: HeroCreator (character planner), Cosmic Timers/Alert Checklist, Blood Moon Map, Anniversary Cat Map, and more (eventually, anyway).

    yeah, i was actually going to ask for a breakdance emote before i found out the flare dance was one...too bad it isn't on a loop like other dances

    getting it as an actual attack would be great, though​​

    I heartily approve of channelling the Power of Interpretive Dance in this way. You could also use the Dance emotes to make a Ranged Sonic AT - the Metalhead (\m/) or the Raver (using the Rave costume set) for additional fun.
