Exclusive: Issue 11 Dual Blades Screenshots

Previews | Sept. 27, 2007 (10 months, 4 weeks ago) | by Kody | Filed in City of Heroes

Issue #11 for City of Heroes/City of Villains looks to be a very promising and exciting update for players. Not only can players expect new story lines and stuff to do at level 50, but there are also two new power sets being introduced for the Melee Archtypes. Willpower will be more of a defensive power set, while Dual Blades - the second - will be offensive in nature.

Dual Blades will allow the Brute, Scrapper, Stalker and Tanker Archtypes to wield pared weapons to devastating effect! The Cryptic team has been hard at work for some time on Issue #11, and with its beta test approaching they've offered the Curse community a look at the Dual Blades power set.

You've heard all about the power set on the City of Heroes forums, but now Cryptic has given us a chance to show off the Dual Blades power set in action, with these four exclusive screen shots!

To join in on the discussion about these new power sets, head over to the CoH Forums discussion on Willpower and Dual Blades.

Cryptic has also provided some screen shots of the Willpower power set to Badge-Hunter.com, so head over to their Willpower Screen Shots update to find out more about this defensive power.

Is there any information as to what the secondary effect of dual blades will be (if any)? For example - energy melee has a stun component - dark melee adds an ACC debuff - fire often has an extra burn DoT for damage - stone melee and super strength have knock down and hold effects - claws have a defense debuff

What do dual blades add to their base damage (if anything)?
