Title: Issue 22 on Tuesday
Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on March 02, 2012, 10:02:50 PM
Yes, it's official.  I'm looking forward to at least trying the revamped zone.  The new powersets and new story arcs look cool as always.

beastmaster MM hasn't interested me yet, but a staff stalker and a dark/dark controller are both on my list

Technically the Beastmaster is not Issue 22 and won't be released until later this month (but it is scheduled for sometime in March)  It is, however, the only one of those sets I actually have any plans to use.

well, I really wanted a TW stalker for the extra range and aoe but no-go (I just have to destroy stuff as an aoe brute, nvm :P) but the staff has the extra range so I think it'll have some nice gameplay mechanics in there.
and I love playing controller so dark/dark has to be done :P

Unfortunately the Stalker version of Staff has part of the unique mechanics stripped away to make room for standard stalker powers.

There is argument over whether this is really so bad or not.

True, but it's generally like that for all stalker powers, I've -never- gotten into a stalker character but always wanted to, and with the AS changes coming in 22, combined with a new power set to play with, I think it'll be the push I need to finally get one rolling

Stalkers are awesome and great for soloing. I might fire up the game for a Dark/Dark Controller.

Doesn't sound like much of this content is geared toward a freebie player like myself. I suppose I'll continue not playing. :(

I want to know more about Beastmaster, whether it's actually worth whatever they're going to want for it.

That said, my money's in STO right now so it would be awhile anyway.
