Stop telling bull****, why would a family of 7 persons all play the same AT? You are just mad because you will have to put some effort into your gameplay aka. L2P. And because you cannot play without having OP skills, you are trying to tell us the cute "Oh my family, we are such poor AT's only 18k crit with ss (( " story.
I bet that you are 12 years old and paid for nothing at all.
I think Gravouis is talking about ricochet throw, which a new gadeteering power that came out when the night avenger archetype did. (It is incorrectly labelled and described in the wiki BTW).
Gravouis, I'm glad that you stuck around rather than ragequit as you indicated that you would back on the 28th of August when you posted a similiar topic on the PTS-Frameworks forums. I thank you for spending over $100 on this game in addition to your subscription, as indicated in your prior forum post.
However, if you were to stop focusing on the nerf and look at how the power is, you would notice that it is far from underpowered. Ricochet is an incredible energy efficient power that is good at both single target and AOE damage. It is - and still remains - one of the most versatile powers I have ever seen.
I currently have this equipped on a level 10 might build. I am wearing questionite samurai armour, meaning that I get no bonus to ego, but a huge bonus to strength. Despite this, I am doing better damage with ricochet throw than my mighty kick. Both powers have similiar costs, but despite my strength bonus to melee, ricochet throw is still doing better damage. Also, it it is capable of doing AOEs as well.
You have already indicated that you have a gold account. Seriously, just go and create a level 6 freeform character, skip the tutorial, then retrain at the powerhouse to take boomerang toss, concentration, ricochet throw and superstat EGO (or dex, or whatever). I assure you, you will see your enemies fall left and right, often with only one or two shots.
Sad to see people leave, with a sillyest reasons. The power was, what people call it, overperforming. So it was brought down.
Too much rage and raving.
Atleast she..v...he didn't take whole town with him and hacked us.

So, wait, is this just about the energy cost fix? XD Or was there another change more recently than that?

I checked my boomerangs today. Damage and energy costs looks to be about the same as they were yesterday. I think this is about the fix that occurred about a month back.
I didn't use boomerang on PTS, but I heard how bad the numbers were.
I thought the damage in it's current state is fine, especially considering its just a blast power (if we're referring to ricochet). I picked up throwing blades too yet I find ricochet to be more effective in most situations.

I've noticed the same thing.
Its good against single targets - especially if you just tap spam it.
Its good against multiple targets when charged. I've taken out entire groups of henchmen with it.
It has a 100 range.
And it is a contender for being the most energy efficient power in the game!
Really, there are only two 'weaknesses' that this power has:
1. It does straight damage - no status effects are applied.
2. There are other powers out there that when fully charged deal a higher maximum damage.
At this point in time, ricochet is my favourite power because it is so versatile and energy efficient. I really, really hope that they don't nerf this power, but I suspect that it will happen.
This is what, the third thread on this? Haven't you left in the other two?
...And for every one person who says they're leaving on the forums and then doesn't, there's five that say nothing at all and just disappear forever.
Not saying this nerf wasn't warrented, but A: Cryptic has a bad history with nerfing things to slag and B: This sort of crap can be completely avoided if it's addressed before being pushed live.
...I just recently realized something really disturbing. We're all eating Sodapop3's "humble pie."
I personally agree with OP. I want both boomerang toss and throwing blades put back to the way they were on PTS. Hitting 5-10 targets for 12,000 damage each for 10 energy is totally not OP at all, you nerf herders!

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand, richocet throw was nerfed before it came live. The OP's prior comments on this issue were on the PTS forums.

I remember griping about a nerf to it a week or so after it went live, maybe people were talking about stuff on the PTS. I don't personally have a character that uses the power, honestly I've just come to expect that sort of thing from Cryptic. It's more often we see things get pushed to live in a broken, be it weak or strong, state. When it finally does get fixed, overadjustments ho!
...I just recently realized something really disturbing. We're all eating Sodapop3's "humble pie."
I fail to see a nerf here. Both Ricochet Throw and Boomerang Toss cost less energy (by far) than any other comparable power. They also do far more damage on tap than any other comparable power. In fact, except from stealth or at the start of a fight, using them charged is a hit to one's dps. The only other charge power that is true of is Ice Blast, with Hard Frost, only if enemies are Chilled. More damage for less energy is not a nerf. Adjusting the energy costs was fixing a mistake, not a nerf.

He might have meant that they didn't approve of the way they treat their customers rather than they're all Batman-wannabes :P Nevertheless, I wouldn't be making fun of him if I were you considering you were complaining about flight being overpowered.

I have been away for a 3 month break. Came back and turned one of my TK ranged toons into a hybrid MA/ boomarang "Batman Wannabe" :biggrin:
I am having a blast with her and yes the Rangs work great. I can not imagine the ricochette being more powerful, it is fine the way it is now. I got uppercut and the knee attack along with 100 fists. I only every use my melee in alerts, most of the time the boomarang takes out anything i am going up againt.
Actually if anyone has a good build i might retcon her to be more ranged with only one melee attack, I also have sneak on her that I rarely use, althought very kewl. And I also have the smoke bomb lunge which I do like for the theme. Let me know peeps and trollers begone you slimey hordes!!!

Or is this this similar to posting a new topic once a month shouting. "I'm still gone!"
All this grief over a power that was "Fixed" only a few days after it was released.
