Focus was always kd.
Wellllll my Mids disagrees.
I also remember having more than 1 KB power, and, I remember when I could convert both to KD, it made life way easier and more fun. None of my other powers are KD or KB in that build, soooo, it leads me to believe that Focus was KD before the shutdown.
I don't remember having to burn an enhancement slot in both powers to convert KB to KD.. I don't know how I did it.
*shrug*
I totally do remember more than 1 of my Claws powers going to KD, and, it being good. That's about it.
KDown I never found as much fun.
On my En/En blaster and PB, loved knbk.
How can you not : )
My Energy/Ice Blaster was named Energice.. Loved slamming things all over the screen with that guy. Ice offers pretty good defense, too. I wasn't very good at playing him team-friendly. I mean, I know you can hover and shoot straight down to kinda do KD instead of KB, but.. that kinda defeats the purpose of playing an Energy Blaster if you like using that power to pinball your mobs. I never played a Peacebringer (I may have fiddled..) but I sure loved my Energy guy and how he could keep mobs off their feet and send them flying. Very survivable and fun Blaster.
KB screwed up my Claws/Fire Brute, though. I wanted mobs staying close to me where I could light them on fire and drain their End while shredding them to...flaming shreds. Melee roundup/aoe is way easier when mobs stay nice and close. KD is great for a melee like KB can be great for an Energy Blaster. If they're off their feet, they aren't hitting you. But, yeah, you want them nice and close.
Man I was having the most fun ever, when they shut us down! The devs were on *fire*. You're making it all come back to me how fun it was to play : )
