New Single Blade Powers and a new AT

The current Single Blade powers work well for the basic Knight, Ninja, Samurai style of characters and even have several of the general weapon skins for them. What it doesn't have is the powers to be a Duelist. We do have the weapon and costume skins available but no real powers that make use of them in their most effective means.
Powers
1. New Energy Builder
Pret - simple quick thrusts of the blade jabbing the point repeatedly at the targets. Piercing Damage
+has a 15% chance on the initial attack to cause the target to begin bleeding.
+Generates Energy
2 point advantage to cause all attacks to have a chance to cause the target to bleed.
2. New AoE power
Allez - Cone AoE - Rapidly thrust the blade similar animation to One Hundred Hands only with the blade clearly being the object moving. Piercing Damage
+Maintain AoE
+Each tick has a chance to apply bleeding to all targets with a full maintain guaranteeing stacks being applied.
1 point advantage causes all bleeds to be refreshed.
3. New Lunge
Leaping Thrust - Lunge forward with the tip of your blade leading the way. Has all the standard Lunge features.
4. New Passive
En Garde - Boost to all Melee attacks. Larger boost to Physical Melee Damage. Major Boost to Dodge and Avoidance on Par with Lightning Reflexes. Boosts Bleed damage. Produces an Aura of Threat as if you were hitting up to 10 targets with Crippling Challenge.
+Defensive Passive
5. New Block Replacer
Beat Parry - Follows the Block animation from Guard in Heavy Weapons.
3 - Point Advantage - Riposte - If used to block and the target is in melee range a portion of the incoming damage will be reflected back with the addition of minor piercing damage.
6. New PbAoE
Moulinet - Un-targeted PbAoE performs a circular spin striking all targets in melee range with the tip of the sword. On full charge applies bleed to these targets. Slashing and Piercing Damage
7. New Single Target Power
Zornhau - A single powerful downward in a Right-Left Diagonal movement causes Bleeds to Rupture. Slashing Damage
8. New Form - Form of the Fencer - builds stacks of Focus like other Martial Arts Forms. This Form would allow for those using the Laser Sword, Heavy Weapons, Brick, Single Blade, Fighting Claws or Infernal: Bestial to have another option for a Form...mostly Laser Sword. As Laser Sword doesn't have one specifically for it...
+ Whenever you apply or refresh a stack of Bleed, Plasma Burn, Stagger, Shredded or Disorient you gain a stack of Focus.
9. New Power - Flashing Blade - uses the single Ego Blade animation for Ego Blade Frenzy as a maintain for another Single Blade AoE maintain. It would have the same properties as Eye of The Storm with its Damage Shield would provide roughly half of what Eye of the Storm provides.
+ New Advantage - Reflection - When in Melee half the damage absorbed is reflected back at the attacker as Penetrating Damage. Penetrating Damage is only resisted by Resist All damage.
Archetype Either Tank or Hybrid Role.

These powers are meant to represent the Fencers/Duelists of the single blade category meaning most of the attacks are going to be thrusts. That said if they made these powers why not buff the slashing single blade powers that already exist to bring them into line with the current power cycle...
That said a Slashing a Lunge would be nice to add for the Single and Dual Blade.
For the Single Blade
New Lunge -
Iaijutsu - Character dashes forward with his/her hands on his/her waist and swings the blade in a sweep across the front hitting all targets in a cone in front of you. It fuses the animation of Scything Blade and adds the forward movement of Mighty Leap. see here at about 0:45 for an example
+All the standard Lunge Advantages.
For Dual Blade
New Lunge -
Storm Front - Character Leaps into the air coming down with a flash slashing through up to 3 targets in front of him/her. Uses The animation of Storm's Harvest and Vicious Descent.

I have a swashbuckling Vampiress character the Scarlet Pipistrelle and it'd be lovely to swap her powers over to more appropriate sword style attacks!
And with the modern trend of mixed styles freeform characters mixing the two lots together will be superb.
While she has been rescued
what diabolical mastermind
was behind the devious brain-napping of
the Volterrific Dr Cerebellum?
I gave up on my fencer, oddly enough named Riposte, because the powers in game just didn't fit despite us having some fairly nice weapon skins for it.
And my toon, Swashbuckler, would love this:biggrin:

As we've already got a bunch of kind of good single blade slashing attacks...they just need some buffing to catch up to the power creep...
1. New Form - Form of the Fencer - builds stacks of Focus like other Martial Arts Forms. This Form would allow for those using the Laser Sword, Heavy Weapons, Brick, Single Blade, Fighting Claws or Infernal: Bestial to have another option for a Form...mostly Laser Sword. As Laser Sword doesn't have one specifically for it...
+ Whenever you apply or refresh a stack of Bleed, Plasma Burn, Stagger, Shredded or Disorient you gain a stack of Focus.
2. New Power - Flashing Blade - uses the single Ego Blade animation for Ego Blade Frenzy as a maintain for another Single Blade AoE maintain. It would have the same properties as Eye of The Storm with its Damage Shield would provide roughly half of what Eye of the Storm provides.
+ New Advantage - Reflection - When in Melee half the damage absorbed is reflected back at the attacker as Penetrating Damage. Penetrating Damage is only resisted by Resist All damage.
