Projawa Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) The new animation, Devastating Blast, pales in comparison. Sure, the new ability counts as force energy damage while Force Scream was kinetic damage but they should've kept the old sound, animation, maybe add a bit of flash and call it Devastating Scream. Force Scream felt and sounded like a Sith ability. Devastating Blast is one step above wet noodle. Edited December 19, 2014 by Projawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztian Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 all the new marauder animation loooks UGLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_X Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Agreed. Force Scream was awesome. The new ability is lame. LAME. What they SHOULD do (but won't) is make all powers that share a CD exactly the same, and then let the player choose which ability they want to use. They destroyed Carnage, and then slapped us in the face by taking away Force Scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite_Devil Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 When did they take away force scream for carnage? I use it all the time on my Mara... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a new ability at level 57 called Devastating Blast, which completely replaces Force Scream as its equal or better in every possible way. So if you're 57+ and still doing Force Scream, you're doing it wrong from a damage point-of-view; though of course you're doing it absolutely right from a graphical PoV.

Zadtro Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 OMG i agree the new one is horrible. Its looks like being hit with a feather. Jug/guard new veng/vig smash looks awesome. The only thing devastating about this move is how terrible its animation is. For something that sounds awesome and does so much damage, it is not justified.

arunav Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I completely agree. I don't necessarily mind replacement animations, but they should be as good as the launch ones. And the replacement for Force Scream falls terribly short of that mark. I hope BW can at least improve the sound later on, or something about the animation to make it more "devastating." It currently looks, sounds, and feels limp compared to other Warrior abilities. The same holds true for the Sentinel counterpart.

CelestialsDragon Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Force scream was rather ugly looking in my opinion. The Blade storm looked better. (Along with Master Strike) I think the new devastating blast is better on the eyes. I think they should have made the sith classes more acrobatic and flashy anyway, but thats just me.

Horano_Heresy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think with Devastating Blast they should've taken the existing Force Scream animation and made it even more intense... Not a fan of the use of lightsabers in a force ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well I am only 41 so lol I don't have this new ability so I must be doing it right. Is this ability apart of the fury tree (what I run) or is it a part of the Mara base skills?

Halinalle Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Your damage comes from your lightsabers in Carnage so it makes little sense to use Force Scream. Devastating Blast however looks like the damage comes from your lightsabers and it makes a lot more sense.

Zadtro Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I just think the name of it sounds awesome but it looks like you are throwing a couple of sparkly feathers. It should be an improvement of force scream since it is a replacement. The person it hits should know what just hit them, give it the animation of force scream and a 1-3 meter knock back or maybe even make it include an interrupt so it feels like a hit on the other player. Make it look and feel devastating. Mar/Sents have been neglected in the latest patch big time, all we got was small nerfs here and there. So can we atleast look good whilst being useless in pvp.

Devastating Blast is a Level 57 ability for Carnage Marauders and Fury Marauders get the Furious Strike ability at Level 57.

Zadtro Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I would love to have force scream back, i love the big numbers from devastating blast but it just doesn't look or feel like i just dished out something devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
