Nova. Pre-target cap I once hit about 120 targets with one shot. Using it in Infernal's portal room was one of the sure-fire ways of breaking the client's FX limit.

I was really looking forward to I24's rapid-fire blaster nukes.

Although I have to say I had a lot more fun than I really should have playing around with Arbiter Hawk's broken I24 Power Thrust on beta. He decided to put a little repel into PT. He put a little more than he should have. You'd hit a target and he'd repel off practically over the horizon, even striking walls and continuing to repel alongside them until they got free.

Top five: Carrion Creepers, Confuse, Ice Slick, Levitate & Ion Judgement

Since I'm a MM at heart, I'd have to go with Noxious Gas on my Bruiser.

Or my Bots/storm MM with the Thunderclap, Freezing Rain and Lightning Storm combo (yeah I cheated alittle.

)

and for simple joy, pistol whip on my thugs/poison MM.

I think the gunslinger was one of the niftier ones, but I thought they could have done more..

Maybe a weapon-based Judgment?

I just sayin'.

What is that from? The gif.

It's so hard to choose one since I have tons of favorite combat powers but I'll keep my list short:

- Blizzard/Ice Storm (I'm an AoE addict)
- Hibernate (it's my panic button and have saved me lots of times)
- Assassin's Strike (people say it's clunky but I love the damage)
- Bullet Rain/Executioner's Shot/Piercing Rounds (who doesn't like Dual Pistols?)
- Explosive Arrow and Crushing Field (another AoE powers)
- Vorpal Judgement (I've never seen any power as cool as this in any other game)
- Time Manipulation buffs/debuffs (I couldn't choose because I find there are no useless power in this set)

Well, there's more and I was planning to add Wind Control and Martial Combat but since it was never released, I'll stick with these for now...

Thanks for the info LadyShin

Foot Stomp and T4 Judgement were awesome, but my favorite power had to be Assassins Strike, I just loved the visuals.

I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one who liked the lowly Assasain Strike over all the upper echelon abilities

Since we're on the topic of Stalkers, HIDE was one of the greatest powers in the game. As a Stalker you could kick on stealth at lv 1 and be invisible to almost everything (curse you Rikti drones.) You could stand right next to a GM or an angry AV and nothing would happen. Now that, is power.

That reminds me of when they were first doing Stalker revamps on test, and Assassin Strike was going to do a percentage of damage based on the enemy's HP. As soon as test came up, me and a few other stalker enthusiasts got on to check it out and wondered how much damage it would do against Hamidon. BAB spawned one in The Abyss and pulled aggro for me while I whacked it for over 30k damage in a single hit.

I really miss my stalkers.

Well.. not saying I didn't like it...I found it to be a necessary addition to the other assassin abilities. I would divide up my attacks based on cooldown times (had 2-3 groups of attacks I'd use) and would space them out with AS.

And...the (don't leave home without it) Build Up to accompany the AS!! I really miss the Bloody Bay days

If I had to pick one and only one, I'd go with Fearsome Stare. So subtle, yet so ridiculously powerful. It also led into the below.

Fearsome Stare + Tar Patch + Ion Core Final Judgment = My petite little dark/dark defender walks into a room full of bad guys, gives them the evil eye, Very Bad Things happen, and five seconds later she walks out of an empty room.

Also great fun:

Soul Storm + Petrifying Gaze - To render the boss who may have survived the above almost instantly helpless.
Executioner's Shot - The animation just perfectly fit the idea behind my mercenary Traps/DP Defender.
Confuse - Great in regular play, but find the right type of enemy and it just got ridiculous. Embalmed Vahz? Sorcerers? Force Field Generators? Bring em on!
Howling Twilight - I never got it to brew tea for me, but otherwise it pretty much did everything.
Pyronic Core Final Judgment - Do you really need a reason?
Assassin's Blade - See above.

Too Many to name..

However my most favorite thing I discovered was when I made my Shield/SS Tank and changed to the double fisted animation for KO Blow, it looked like you were smashing the opponent with the shield.. which was very very cool.

My all-time favorite was the spinning roundhouse AOE punch in Street Justice - can't remember the real name right now - and that meaty SMACK! when it landed. Many fun times taking a 23 Street Justice Brute into the old DA and taunting ten-member mobs into converging on me . . and wiping Dat Ass Right Out!

The original OP Shield Charge when you could wipe out a tightly-spaced mob with one rush - and send the bodies tumbling!

And the whole martial arts set . . .and . . .

It was simply called.. Spinning Strike... I had a Street Justice/SR Brute with it..
