    I really wish you could commit on adding Elemental Melee powers on Force, Ice, Fire, Wind and Electricity just like TK and Earth have both Melee and Range
    It's strange to me that SCR/GCR powers are so rare at this point! We barely get them

    But hey, Reskin of Seismic Smash for ICE slider next please? :grimace:

    Quick Question: WHY would you do that? 😩
    The Knock Magnitude is ridiculous and counterproductive for a lunge, not to mention how much it sabotage the fire patch mechanic ADV 🤨

    Making it Knock UP or DOWN would be better

    Might have been more useful without the knock...
    but for F** have a 0 point advantage (like giant growth) that gives the flavor of either knock down, back, or up...

    I'm totally taking this as is on my Heavy Weapon/Earth character though... if I can't quake em on uneven ground, I can at least knock everything everywhere =D #sorrynotsorry, #workingasintended

    HEAVY WEAPON melee attacks no longer ignore out of range targets to strike nearby targets.

    imagine that is red text. don't expect people to jump thru hoops to color the text according to your pedantic color coding wants and whims if you don't provide basic tools to do it.

    and while I am at it, per my previous email...

    Some Single Blade melee attacks stopped ignoring out of range targets to strike nearby targets a long time ago.

    We all love standing around pointing at a guy who stepped back out of range while the mob of mobs destroys us.

    Better question is why doesn't Might's lunge have a built in knock?
