    This is my character Zazriel, meaning "Strength of God".

    I do quite like him, especially when he's flying. Right now he is a pure electricity character, don't know if I'll change it at release.

    So I recently started getting those power replacers. and right now i got the first viper gun u can make to replace gunslinger energy builder. And now it doesnt auto attack, i have to click everytime i want it to shot.

    I just had to stop by and say how much fun this game is. I have had the best time playing this. All told, too much of my time has been taken up creating characters and leveling them past the tutorial to get a travel power.

    Chiming in with "Pyre is ridiculously awesome" I've noticed almost all of the 1 click starter powers are kinda lame, fire strike included. It is pretty good for spamming on chumps with low hp trying to run in PVP, though.

    Thunderstrike would be friggin awesome if it wasn't for having a cool down, though. Yet fireball is spammable. It can be really hard to tell what the point is of some powers when you compare them to others, even in the same set.

    All of fire's powers that I've tried make sense.

    Fire Strike is spammable single target damage that you can use -while moving-, whereas everything else roots you while you charge it.

    Fire Breath has low entry cost and a very long range of effect. If you have enemies at two different ranges, you'll need Fire Breath to hit them all at once.

    Conflagration is a meatier AOE, but it has a smaller area of effect, and if you upgrade it to a Click power, costs insane amounts of End - and you never get to use it for smaller amounts of time ever again. But it does awesome damage.

    Pyre is sex in a bucket damage and later knockback, BUT, you have to wade right into the thick of things and take a lot of risk.

    Flash Fire exists mostly to trigger your End-Building Passive.

    I haven't tried Fireball yet, so I can't say what it does, but I think it's supposed to be better Single Target damage than the pure AOEs, like a mutant baby between Conflag and Fire Strike.

    Fire Snake, conceptually, is fucking awesome (Fear and DoTs are amazing together), but I haven't tried it and have heard that it is fairly weak.

    Pardon me if this was answered earlier, but for those of you who were wondering what the stock customization options for the pistols in the munitions pool are, they are as follows:

    Default - Oversized Desert Eagles
    Modern Conventional Pistol #3 - Oversized blocky .45s
    Modern Conventional Pistol #4 - Oversized USP w/ Silencer
    Modern Conventional Pistol #5 - Oversized Revolver (Think the animated handgun from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, but bigger)

    That's it for pistols...

    So for those of you looking for some more exotic looking hardware like flintlocks to go with your character concepts, you will have to rely on trade skills or drops.

    I agree the pistols are way oversized. its pretty silly.

    for assault rifles it was, I believe

    m16
    ak47
    looks like the pulse rifle from aliens
    some weird european looking gun (gay)

    smg

    mp5
    a fishgun assault rifle (xm8?) in smg form
    grease gun?
    tec-9
    didn't even try the machine pistols, because thats gay

    shotguns have interesting models too but the skill sucks too bad for me to even bother checking

    sniper rifle is just a single model, I dont know if it has any unlocks. looks like an m21 with an extra long barrel and bipod. I think. something like that.

    rocket launchers are

    rpg-7
    LAW
    stinger missile launcher

    (yes, an mmo with recognizable guns. my favorite thing)

    You have to buy the knockback, but yes. It is absolutely delicious.

    But you pay for it by having to run into the middle of combat with your squishy self.

    Yeah except you can use it to keep one or two people permaknocked down since it seems to recharge by the time the other players can get back up. I thought they nerfed force's knockback cause people were complaining about ti always being able to knockback?

    You know what set more people need to try out? Telepathy. My level 11 toon is a bit weak and doesn't have a lot of energy to throw around, but he generates it so quickly it's a moot point. Plus the crowd control and healing options are magnificent. Fears, sleeps, AoE DoTs, stuns. I haven't gotten to any instances yet, but damn I am looking forward to being a great support role.

    Also, I've figured out how to hide the UI, but what's the screenshot button in-game? I can't see it listed in the keybinds section. O_o
