Combo Tables

I used class="wikitable" to get the general table formatting (thin borders, grey backgrounds on headers). Comments? Suggestions? --Konoko 02:00, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Looks much better like this. I'm still questioning my use of colors in the tables. At the very least they ought to be changed to a paler hue, like the blue in the nav bar. Now to add a little more detail to the combo effects! -Pythe 14:42, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

I'm thinking about combining the combo attack tables... I'll throw an idea at the bottom here, after I sketch it out here... -Pythe 15:13, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

Combination Attacks

Brute, Tanker, Scrapper

Combo Name	Empower	Weaken	Attack Vitals	Sweep

Finish	Blinding Feint	Typhoon's Edge	Sweeping Strike	Typhoon's Edge

Stalker

Combo Name	Empower	Weaken	Attack Vitals	Sweep

Finish	Placate	One Thousand Cuts	Vengeful Slice	Ablating Slice

Combined Combo Table

This seems reasonable, if hard to read. Perhaps seperate each combo into its own table? Or color each main rows alternately? -Pythe

Still hard to read with colors. Comments? -Pythe

Combo Name	Effect	Attacks
Empower	+Damage	Nimble Slash	Build Up
		Ablating Strike	Assassin's Blades
		Blinding Feint	Placate
Weaken	Foe -ToHit, -Def	Nimble Slash	Sweeping Strike
		Ablating Strike	Power Slice
		Typhoon's Edge	One Thousand Cuts
Attack Vitals	Cone Minor Damage over Time(Lethal)	Ablating Strike	Ablating Strike
		Vengeful Slice	Nimble Slice
		Sweeping Strike	Vengeful Slice
Sweep	PBAoE Damage(Lethal), Knockdown	One Thousand Cuts	Build Up
		Power Slice	Assassin's Blades
		Typhoon's Edge	Ablating Strike

This is a tricky concept to get across. Personally, I find the Power Name/Icon confusing, in isolation. They only way I really get a sense of a power is seeing it in the context of the whole powerset. So, an ideal chart for me would look something like this...

Powers	Weaken	Empower	Attack Vitals	Sweep
Nimble Slash	1	1
Power Slice				2
Ablating Strike	2	2	1
Typhoon's Edge	3			3
Blinding Feint		3
Confront
Vengeful Slice			2
Sweeping Strike			3
One Thousand Cuts				1

I could be out of my gourd, however. Feel free to ignore my comment if I'm in the minority.--GreyDog 17:19, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
