Anyone get the cane to do anything? I was in B'tran fighting Borg on the ground and it stayed dark the whole time whether i had someone targeted or not?

Is it like a Tribble and must be activated before battle?

    No, I've only used it on tribble, but it basicly acts like a devidian attack on your enemies except it doesn't heal you.

    (wish it did)

    I have used it and it does heal.

    How did you use it?

    You need to be close enough to the target to use it ... it's got a short range.

    Also try: setting up your Triolic enhancer pattern on a mission, and then using the cane ... good times.

    Most be within 3 meters of the target. Cane, melee weapon, makes sense to be right up close.

    It's a point blank AoE, you need to be in near-melee range of a hostile target for it to be usable.

    I prefer this to be done as melee weapon... not as tool to use :)
    It is silly to keep one Klingon char just for equip my other chars with melee weapons.

    indeed, its quite nice though because enemies like to swarm me. then just whip out the cane and you can drain em and hold them.

    It works well with borg. It targets up to 5 enemies, so it's perfect if you get surrounded.

    It's also epic to do that to an elite tatical drone >:D

    Nah, Lucas can't file a lawsuit for TRIBBLE for anything related to Force Usage....except maybe gestures... but

    Hypnotism, Lighting powers, levitation, telekenisis etc etc are all classic magic/fantasy powers.

    I'm so looking forward to use the cane on some Fek'ihri down in Gret'hor.

    It was an epic gift.

    The cane used by the TNG Episode and 2 of the Boss Devidians given to you as a series end gift so that you can "do unto others as the Devidians did to you" :D

    It works fine and pretty neat if you are a lvl 7 Lieutenant. Made me another character and he is going to use that thing like crazy. Watching 3 Klingons in Starbase 24 rise off the ground like they were POSSESSED was so freakin COOL!:eek:

    Good job Cryptic, again you deliver! *bow*

    Exactly. The hand going up then the person, shortly afterward followed by the head and extremities falling back then the limp body levitating in the air. A nuisance suit maybe but something methinks cryptic could not afford whereas Lucas could easily and do it just for fun. Lucas has a reputation of being intolerant of anyone using references to Star Wars in their products.

    A recent example would the Android phone. They use the term "driod" - reasonable yes? No According to Lucas and the term was licensed from him. Now who would confuse a phone product with R2D2 and its ilk?

    Now flash back to this IP, the biggest competitor to SW in the scifi world and well seems to me it would reasonable that he may very well think something is amiss. This is especially so given the SW video games that show the same thing and with the new SW MMO coming out soon he may simply want to be preemptive so to speak. Sometimes it is not about legitimacy, or the money but simply about seeing what you can get away with.

    After all we thought about SW so would he be wrong trying to argue that STO is coming to close to "his universe" in its manifestation?

    Wasn't Trek using Devidians feeding on people like this long before Jedi could levitate people?

    lol Noooo Devidians never canonicly levitated people either.
    Devidians one and only appearance was in TNG "Times Arrow" a Two-part episode that started with Data's decapitated head being found in San Fransisco being 500 years old.

    In Canon the cane was actually not used to drain neural energy but was actually used to create the Time Portals the devidians used to travel through.
    Another device entirely was used to harvest neural energy.

    I adore this cane. Nothing like charging into the middle of a bunch of brain blasting Remans and using it to refill your health bar... Scramble my brains will ya, ya damned bat eared freaks, I'll just suck out your souls! :p
