I honestly wish they would drop a new power like another lantern power I believe we deserve that much since everyone’s paying money for so long

[@boepressha8859]

Won’t happen lazy developers

[@frosty23silver87]

Last time dcuo released a new power was 9 years ago

[@DaVibeCreator]

@@frosty23silver87 that's crazy

[@HiHi-yk1mv]

It’s so bad. Combat ally still weaker than Shazam. Combo corps doesn’t actually help combo based powers more than it’s helping water and earth. Celestial is too slow to get use out of this ally. The only thing op is the last passive which trolls shields are already overpowered.

[@Keyshawn13]

Even then you wouldn't even use him as a troll 😅😅 there's far better ones

[@blackrighteousnesstv9536]

Good Lookin Out az always, Chief!!!!

[@akeemwalters577]

man i thought john was gone put light on the map again

[@TheBmills415]

​@@STARLEYMAYHEM It should be per each combo. Basically exactly like an amulet stack base

[@DesignGenie-cv1cn]

hopefully a sinestro ally will :/

[@felicelupin]

That shield bug got me killed so many times. It all started with the newest episode.

[@ImCosty99]

maybe when we get a hal jordan ally , light will be good

[@corbin1036]

I had noticed that you hadn’t placed the compartment trinket shield on the spread sheet, the Clarion or the Boo shield either. I assume their absorption may be insignificant since you didn’t upload them. Would it be possible to cover them and place them as well? I’m sure many players would like to know just how useful these might be in comparison to others.

[@truegamer2819]

why wouldn't they put all the latern corps powers in the game or let us change the colors of the abilities, like cmon man!

[@icecreamcat5329]

John Stewart is only good for a power based troll. Im going to get him just for my power base set. I just don't know who i might replace to add him in my set.

[@Shadow497]

Now its powerset combo. Unsure if it was just a wording chance or the actual make it so its only the powerset combos proc it. Would have been cool if they. Made it buff depending your role so it can be a healer/troll/tank/dps allie. Just make it buff that main stat in the role. Itll make the allie fit more players needs. And even make the devs more money

[@MisterMisanthropeEsquire]

They didn't try to make it useful. I wonder if too many Light hating devs are still around? They nerfed the entire clipping game of every power just to crush Light. Damn that Spytle! Well, that, and they really made everything super easy. DPS doesn't matter nearly as much as it used to.

[@DCUOMultiverse]

Probably. Word in the chat is.... lots of Hate on Green Lantern at DC and DCUO for quite some time. :(

[@MisterMisanthropeEsquire]

@@DCUOMultiverse I played with Spytle a few times when I was doing league raids waay back in the day, and I was playing light. I could tell he didn't like what light was capable of doing. I doubt he had any clue how hard it was and how much practice it took to put up those numbers. They got rid of the cheese dual wield range hold clip OPness which helped light a lot with both damage and power saving, and should have left it at that. Players that came after the total powers clipping nerf and stat changes would have an easier time for sure. That's not terrible, but they would never know the joys of mastering clipping techniques and crushing enemies that caused you problems before learning how to clip either.

[@JohnSmith-m4m]

I dont think the increase in shields is worthwhile. There is a lot of content where damage ignores shields, which makes this ally ability mute.

[@HiHi-yk1mv]

They buffed John Stewart to 15 seconds but wouldn’t that still be marginal? I wish they made it 20 to outclass Batman Who Laughs. They fixed it to work on Combo Based Abilities. So I’m assuming it still works on Earth, Water, Quantum and Munitions.

[@unformal_whale7535]

Earth water and Celestial still need their respectable allies to add on Electricity and Nature and prec have their allies pain

[@BrentCave]

Hey obsidian I’m running an ice dps with pistols heavy on might little weapons movement currently running Shazam as ally…can you suggest what ally for overall dmg I should be running?…I’m using Strat transformation and heat vision artifacts

[@Icarus_26]

Hey OC, are you still planning on uploading the videos you mentioned. In your roadmap? I’m guessing life has kept you busy so just wondering

[@jeffreyshaw7988]

I will probably use flashpoint , zod and new ones with light buff troll

[@NotKorosu]

Why is it an issue that you’re not forced to run only combo powers? Static being electric only (or world of power Iconic) wasn’t the best move. Why limit players to not being able to use a lvl 10 legendary ally on another power they may like more than these very few combo powers

[@NotKorosu]

I get your point but, power focused Allies is so odd imo. Btw, love your videos please keep it up. I really enjoy your videos

[@Keyshawn13]

​@@NotKorosuI mean in the end each power will eventually have one, and there's already so many options as of now anyways .

[@ObsidianChill]

If every power can use it they can’t justify a damage potential increase, think if everyone could use ivy, or every healer could use static for the free trans card passive. At least with the combo powers it is still usable with 4 powersets rather than 1

[@HiHi-yk1mv]

Not every power deserves a higher might buff. Combo powers been struggling for the longest.

[@Envy_Moon]

Looks like a great ally to help a troll give more power. Ill be happy when they turn the power down even more. Power troll required 😂

[@jahdoge9505]

You know that freezing breath and heat vision are combo powers that can obtained by everyone, right? So why say that Corps Combo should be locked to a few powersets when everyone can proc it the way that they want to?

[@Shadow497]

Nice. I'm guessing the Brand art is really difficult to test. I haven't seen anyone really test it yet.

[@ObsidianChill]

I have that next, I just suck at following through 😂

[@NightSyndicate]

So John Stewart ally doesn't benefit from the baseline shield multiplier? it's own thing right? No need to spec into dominance?

[@ronaldstanford1725]

I've been seeing a lot of mixed reviews lately about this game mind you I've had this game in my library since it came out but I haven't played it in years. I've never spent any big money on the game ($30 tbh) so I'm wondering is it a good time to come back or should I stay away...

[@MisterMisanthropeEsquire]

Compared to other games of today, it still offers better and longer entertainment IMO. Even though it is much easier than it used to be when I started at the year 1 anniversary. I'm not sure how it is as a free player though. I got the 29.99 for 3 months sub package when Sony owned the games and I was playing SWG. I have kept that sub active since then. I usually just play a few months then take a 6+ months break, and come back after I accrue a few thousand store credits. I can get at least a couple months of fun even if I play every day, but I play with 6 characters to do the dailies then settle on 1 character for the rest of the day.

[@HiHi-yk1mv]

No it’s not worth coming back to because the population is declining and the powers are unbalanced and there is a lot of bugs. The developers aren’t responsive and are simply just here that’s it. They don’t do much.

[@mallwilliams8695]

Does the ally boost any power after the combo is done or does it have to be another combo power

[@unformal_whale7535]

I'm a celestial player and I know this won't help much because 10-15sec is awful for a 30sec CD is sad and tbh for example Zatana ahe is only good because she can give stats like BMHL

[@jdporp1221]

So does this mean a light buff is coming as well?

[@NocSlays]

It's pretty much OP when it comes to using a Supercharge as a troll and giving out stronger shields and much more power out. Not a bad idea at all if you use that with Black Adam or Zod as a buff troll.

[@HiHi-yk1mv]

I mean trolls shields already op.

[@Keyshawn13]

Shield is already strong enough wasting a ally slot to take maybe one more hit ain't worth $200/ or all the mats.

[@bigmillgaming2362]

What's the best ally to use for light dps?

[@schwifty8950]

Can you make updated best dps power sets

[@unformal_whale7535]

Casually still waiting for a Dr.fate ally

[@waiver5721]

With this being said, would this mean shazam is better than John, i’m muni and i still don’t know who’s better.

[@waiver5721]

for single target

[@STR1NGB34N1]

How did the damage decrease with light ?????

[@ObsidianChill]

the duration was so short and the buff so small it made no difference in the rotation

[@Icarus_26]

Oracle and Cyborg help with your power, I’m assuming that since he removed them to test only JS the power reduction and buff (as he mentioned above) was so small/meaningless he ran out of power quicker

Water is a combo power.

water has 2 combo abilities, compared to Light, Atomic, Rage, Celestial I don't consider it a "combo power"

This game is broken, and the player population is not going up. Theres also no player retention. Its just players creating alts. Stat clamp and listening to the minority that supports it, is also whats killing this game.

Yeah, I hated being clamped in older content. It ruined any chance to grind feats and styles as a solo.
