Rocket fist Power

If you know me, you know why I very dearly want this as a usable power (outside of the Destroid become) because it's a ranged-fist based knockback.
Even if the animation is Just that of the Annihilator bots fist, I desire the power itself (I wouldn't think it'd be hard it would be to have the power just read what's on the Glove/Bracer Costume slot for the animation, but then I'm not a programmer.)
I actually went ahead an made a concept template for a rocket fist attack (this is entirely opinion made;
If you skimmed through that, you may have noticed that I have the attack scaling with Strength, as opposed to Ego. This (while still just my opinion) creates an opening for a power-armored themed Strength based Range set. (in Contrast to Ego blades, which uses Ego for melee attacks) While I have other ideas bouncing around that could fit into that theme, Nothing as concrete as the Rocket fist.
If you have other ideas you could throw onto such a powerset, or any criticisms on the Rocket fist then by all means I'd love to hear it.

These powers would need to be balanced and fleshed out with tiers and advantages for heroes, though.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Like the knife and armcannon powers.

In general, just having powers that we could use with Mechassasin/Warlords gun would be nice. *for silvers that can't make things fire out of their fists, that is*

More PA and specifically more comic book style PA powers would be a welcome addition.
(Gauntlet chainsaw being an existing, 'comic book' tech power)
@CanisErectus- Scampering around, biting bad guys since July 2011.
ALSO this would be a perfect reason to include a boxing glove Costume piece.
@Chimerafreek
boxing glove... why do I remember a load of Tom and Jerry cartoons or was it Road runner

and I want boxing gloves as a costume unlock!
Seems kinda odd that such a simple costume piece wasn't included at launch.
That being said is there a way to change the topic title to "Rocket Fist Power/ Boxing Glove Costume" ?

There already is a power like that, though.
Though this also gave me another idea; extendo-fist. Same concept really, except your fist fires off via chain attachment/Spring load/Stretchy arm/Ect. Also even more of a reason to spec off of Melee/Strength while being a ranged attack.

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
How would everyone feel if Trauma were added to a rocket fist power? Seeing as we're limited with Trauma as it is.
@Chimerafreek
/SIGNED
Yeah thats an awesome idea! /signed
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
It's really taunting seeing only Enemies having access on those powers!
Rocket Fists would be really fun!
lol, That'd be great too. Or better yet that, but a molotov cocktail.
@Chimerafreek
I'm for this.
@Chimerafreek
as a 2 pt, im fine with it
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Rank 2 (2pt)
Rank 3 (2pt)
Crippling Challenge (3pt)
Grappling fist (2pt)
and Trauma (2pt)
All that being said, giving it trauma might be overkill, but we could use more powers with Trauma. even if it's not this.
@Chimerafreek
Yeah... if anything, a melee power should get Trauma (maybe one in Telekenisis?). Ranged already has it good enough.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Melee has Haymaker and Brute Strike, though getting more options is always nice.
Yes, and ranged has range. Far as I'm concerned, only melee should have Trauma.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
I don't know about trauma on a 100ft power. Aren't people irritated by that other 100ft power with built in trauma?
[at]riviania Member since Aug 2009
It's about 50/50. The ones who use and abuse it love it. The ones abused BY it hate it.
@Chimerafreek
I think Pestilence and Ebon Ruin have their places in heal debuffing/trauma. In my opinion, the problem is people slapping on ER with extreme ease and no consequences. But I wouldn't see a problem with it if they had to seriously invest in it.
Or they could just remove trauma from Ebon Ruin and instead buff its DoT damage.
Pestilence at least has limited range... of course that only benefits ranged players, since it has plenty of range if you're fighting against a melee.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
While I wouldn't complain if they removed Trauma from ER, I at LEAST wish they made it require a full charge to apply it.
Yet any suggestion to that, or to make the two melee powers have it built in, are laughed off by people who treat ER as though it where the saving grace of pvp.
Anyway this has nothing to do with Rocket fists, lets get back to that one, shall we?

Probably magnets.
That said I am also open to the idea of an extendo fist of sorts, maybe a 0 point perk that lets you change it from your default arm/ flesh color to a robotic twine/chain of sorts.
@Chimerafreek
(Just add rockets.)
@ScarredSilencer
And it looks kind of awesome when she uses it.
So, to describe for people who don't want to check it out on the Tube of You, Basically...
Wrist Bolter animation stance.
Fists, or if we have to make it more... power armoury without being a cyborg, a cylinder or bullet the size of the fist enamates from the hand.
Meanwhile, a small firey aura enamates from the hand, obscuring it.
The bullet goes to the target, as per usual boomyness, and when the power is done, aura disappears, revealing the hands have grownback/rematerialised/etc.
With the Gun Arm costume piece, it should fit within its bulky size, allowing it to be a big blast from the gun.
A new fist comes out of the arm, which has an infinite supply of fists. Because that's how it works in the cartoons about the giant japanese robots.

Ammunition = Fists.

It's a video game :v
