Fighting Pool

Last Modified: July 30, 2010

NOTE! The strength of any power pool attack varies greatly depending on your AT. However, they are consistently twice or more as strong as any normal level 1 or 2 attack.

Boxing

One to the gut

A strong attack with a disorient. If you're looking for another punch power or need the disorient to fit a concept character, go for it. Otherwise, the only reason to take it is you want Tough and Weave, but not Kick.

Recommended # of Slots and Enhancement Priority

	( 2 Slots ) If you use this as a primary attack, slot this way higher. But as a control power, a few slots for accuracy are probably enough. 40%   Accuracy (40% Minimum) Default: 75% With max 100% enhancement: 150% Attack standard of 40% buff 40%   Damage (40% Minimum) Default: 0 points With max 100% enhancement: 0 points Again, the total power varies based on your character type and level. 0%   Endurance Reduction (0% Minimum) Default: 4 end With max 100% enhancement: 2 end Don't focus on this; it's pretty cheap as it is. 0%   Recharge (0% Minimum) Default: 2 sec With max 100% enhancement: 1 sec It may not seem like it comes back fast, but it really does. It takes a few seconds for your enemy to stand up after being knocked down so with only a slight recharge bonus either in this power or globally (Hasten or IOs) you can practically chain attack with just Air Superiority. 0%   Stun (0% Minimum) Default: 13 sec With max 100% enhancement: 26 sec You can increase the stun if you use this power primarily for stunning, but it's already decent as-is.

I've notitced that most guides and sample builds take boxing over kick. I expect it's because of the shorter activation time and lack of knockback (which most builds can't handle very well).

Kick

Offa my wall you!

Takes twice as long to activate than brawl and has a small chance to knockback. Good for a concept character that needs either another kick or knockback power and remember it's stronger than your first two primary attacks.

	( 2 Slots ) If you use this as a primary attack, slot this way higher. But as a control power, a few slots for accuracy are probably enough. 60%   Accuracy (60% Minimum) Default: 75% With max 100% enhancement: 150% Standard buff of accuracy. 40%   Damage (40% Minimum) Default: 0 points With max 100% enhancement: 0 points If you give it more slots, slot damage next. It's a pretty strong attack so it doesn't hurt to buff it some more. 0%   Endurance Reduction (0% Minimum) Default: 4 end With max 100% enhancement: 2 end Don't focus on this; it's pretty cheap as it is. 0%   Recharge (0% Minimum) Default: 3 sec With max 100% enhancement: 1.5 sec Comes back plenty fast.

Tough

Rarr! Bring it!

A toggle power that increase resistance to Smashing and Lethal damage. Useful for up close fighters, not so good for people who don't ever enter melee range.

Recommended # of Slots and Enhancement Priority

	( 3 Slots ) 3 is enough to buff endurance and resistance. More is always better. 60%   Endurance Reduction (60% Minimum) Default: 0 end per second With max 100% enhancement: 0 end per second These drains add up. Lower it a bit. 60%   Damage Resist (60% Minimum) Default: 11% With max 60% enhancement: 17.6% You took the trouble to take this power for damage resistance so make it count. Buff as high as your slotting will allow. 0%   Recharge (0% Minimum) Default: 10 sec With max 100% enhancement: 5 sec It is a pain to wait 10 seconds for it to come back, but I still wouldn't focus on this.

Weave

Try and hit me. Go ahead. Try!

A toggle power that increase defense to all damage and helps resist immobilize. Useful for up close fighters, not so good for people who don't ever enter melee range.

Recommended # of Slots and Enhancement Priority

	( 3 Slots ) 3 is enough to buff what you need. More is always better. 60%   Endurance Reduction (60% Minimum) Default: 0 end per second With max 100% enhancement: 0 end per second These drains add up. Lower it a bit. 30%   Defense Buff (30% Minimum) Default: 31 With max 60% enhancement: 4.81 It's actually pretty strong so buffing is worth it for this compared to hover or combat jumping for a change. 0%   Recharge (0% Minimum) Default: 10 sec With max 100% enhancement: 5 sec It is a pain to wait 10 seconds for it to come back, but I still wouldn't focus on this.
