Anyone test what type of bonus the Tier 5 Boosts are from active attacks? Specifically I'm wondering about the +100 Doubleshot for 15 seconds one. Hopefully it's feat or action boost or whatever and stacks with everything.

Overall it looks terrible, but just trying to see if anything can be salvaged

This is interesting, for non-knife builds
"Weapon Versatility: Your melee and missile attacks use the higher of Melee Power or Ranged Power." I think you could juice a bow build or even a shuri thrower by using melee power since there are more easy sources of it. But it's also probably still not enough for this tree not to be garbage

same thing I looked at and it is extremely narrow. Would have to be fighter, barb, or some abomination of henshin cores. Henshin cores seems the easiest way to go about it to convert 30mp into 30rp at the cost of 11 ap in henshin + 5 ap in knife fighter. This ability is the kind of ability that should have been on a lv 30 piece of gear.

Either way a Knife Thrower is fucking hot garbage.

The melee active attacks were really powerful since the duration = the cooldown.

It seems like that should be good builder bait, but the few mutually inclusive asymmetrical MP abilities hardly exceed the standard 45 RP from Archer's Focus

The new animation was great, BTW. Even more awesome/hilarious if you glamer in other weapons.

The Vistani melee options look more interesting than the pure thrower options.  Shuri is too powerful.  But melee in reaper in the latest content?  Unless you are in a balanced party, good luck.
