What if there were finishers in CoH?

requirements: level 5

examples:

Swords:  Slide/Dash Slash (samurai style)

Gun: Headshot

anything else?

 

edit: enemy must be stunned or very low on HP for finisher

nice idea. Could be a vet reward or, lvl 50 badge power.

Not sure if this wouldn't collide with the idea of a true combo set like Dual Blades.

I agree it's a good idea, but it's probably too late for a sensible implementation.

 

What could work is adding an extra animation or a "freebie" move or "power-up" effect.

I always feel like Brutes could use a bit more Rage when they finally nail an enemy.

Also I could think of a Build Up effect after arresting an enemy, but that would have to be for a new powerset or AT even (inate ability).

Nah screw that, Follow Up does a decent job in that regard.

 

I could rather think of more DoT effects for some powersets like bleeding on Kat, BS, DB, Claws etc. Same like the "igniting" for some fire based attacks, just make it S/L type.

 

Also all Electro based attacks should have a chance to proc a Stun 1, that can stack up (overload synapses, shortcut)  not just END drain which is pointless in PvE.

 

Back on topic:

The last thing I could see is (mostly for scrappers and stalkers) that chance for crit gets up when a mob is low on health. Like Scourge on Corruptor.
