[@Knightmare7795]

Great work, informative video. Really appreciate that your still holding down the fort on DCUO.

[@dacariice19]

I’m a flying ice tank and proud of it lol. I wish they made flying faster in combat but it’s not that bad to where I will change. In boss fights I may use a flash ring

[@xL0stKIlah]

Isn't your toon heavy then. How on earth do you fly

[@imoexpress5899]

my problem with speed is it hugs stuff,lol poles etc, I prfer flight but thinking about giving skimming a try

[@ShadowXMadden]

Acrobats is especially for tanks its the fastest straight movement in open world. They have a ring for flight and a ring for superspeed so your covered

[@Panda-lq7xy]

And you have bat trinket to be Acrobat 😂😂

[@ShadowXMadden]

@@Panda-lq7xy acrobats has perfect poise. Which is prolly the better optional sc for tanks. Earth doesnt have a viable tank sc, i really cant trust envelop to be there when i need it. I mean it will full me up on health and protect me for a short time but in a pinch it just isnt worth the 50% sc cost vs perfect poise 25%.

[@Will-sb8zo]

When are you doing an ice dps loadout/spec

Subscribe outro and more clips to come were created by NoNameFound check him out at kzbin.info/door/xCBxcUeIzzagFFpl3R0FGg

13:11 you can hear him talking to a demon lol

[@ObsidianChill]

lol :O that's pretty random that happening

[@powerwinter5399]

He is evil inside 😒

[@an81angel]

I heard that too. I had to rewind and listen again. pretty funny.

[@pastoryoda2789]

Wuatarrel 666 Confirmed Obsidian is the *D E V O L* 😂😂😂😂

[@robinvm4698]

Great vid! Can you please suggest the fastest movement for tanking - SS or Acro? I'm Flight now and it's really hard to keep being ahead of a group. Thanks in advance!

[@maddhatter6573]

Walking is the best🤣

[@notificationsturnedoff2126]

Im late but obviously superspeed is the best movement because it has a lot of good benefits, but ive been acrobatic since day 1 of playing this game and i still do really good damage.

[@Met-cx9uj]

Forward flip is max range if clipped Obsidian

[@zzzqw]

Would of been cool if you had a dedicated section to what you think in terms of just movement itself is most optimal for each class

[@ObsidianChill]

unfortunately for every class its pretty much superspeed because he has advantages over every other movement. The only case can be made for acrobatics which is better for nature, and some tanks but that is more a preference.

[@zzzqw]

@@ObsidianChill So even for base movement (no offence or defense upgrades) SS in your opinion is best movement type for all classes? (Excluding the ones you mentioned)

[@ObsidianChill]

@@zzzqw superspeed is the most useful movement and really simple to get used to, its also really fast in combat as well where flight/skimming are really slow in combat. Some players just like "flying around" as a superhero etc, Acrobatics is better for PvP but there isn't as much of that in the game. I've been superspeed for the better part of 7 years

[@zzzqw]

@@ObsidianChill Thankyou for your quick and informative responses, recently started playing DCUO your videos have really helped me out. Subbed 👍

[@ObsidianChill]

@@zzzqw glad I could help out and good luck with the game :)

[@tblazin01]

They shouldn't nerf anything in super speed. They should just boost other movement mode powersets... this helps other powersets that lack damage output.

[@ObsidianChill]

its nerf/adjust 5 powers or buff 20+ powers. One doesn't make as much sense as the other in my opinion.

[@sin9477]

Hey so a little request. If u don’t mind but if you haven’t or you already did, can u review and look at what’s a good weapon type to use in game? Or even what weapons to use for what roles/powers? Would really help out!!!

[@kairin5333]

@ObsidianChillDCUO in your opinion, whats the best movement mode for a healer ?

[@unclecharlesworth408]

What would you say is the best might based power ?

[@ObsidianChill]

*I would like to add with Superspeed that Vortex trap you can't exclusively weapon tap cancel it, it may just be a PC thing but I don't have to jump cancel it to cancel it which I reconfirmed since which is why I didn't say it at the time. But the only consistent way to cancel vortex trap will be to jump cancel, just that you are aware before you switch movements or you try it yourself* -Obs

[@brogetaz7218]

If u mod you will be band from KZbin

[@AkumaHado]

What fire loadout can you suggest me ?please help

[@EVERTGAMING-pt2kj]

Gud video but I love flight but Don't like super speed cause it gets my dizzy with the camera movements I don't use flight ability cause do to my loadout I use for quantum... But gud tip chill👍

[@shoggy532]

As a celestial dps and healer i prefer flight because being abel to change your ground is pretty useful to avoid ads for example. I dont care about the attacks

[@takyon9167]

Avoiding attacks with super speed is the easiest thing, as you can quickly move out of the way of almost any attack.

[@Emertex7]

Did you know Swoop takes you out of attack/getting hit slow movement? I loved clipping Quantum Tunneling and Swoop, pulling Houdini's on people. And pretending ads are people sometimes. 😂 Nice for objectives.

[@ObsidianChill]

worked well in PvP in the past

[@byaombeselemani8770]

Can you do HL loadout upgrade for DPS and troll

[@ObsidianChill]

Light will be my next guide yes

[@byaombeselemani8770]

Alright..thank you, I can wait for that

[@marshallcierovola376]

Is this info still pretty much up to date?

[@ObsidianChill]

It is yes, movement modes haven't been updated in years

[@DarkHorusDCUO]

Nice intro

Good info thanks and haveagood1

[@KG-1234]

Superspeed is best for tank troll flight is best for heal I recommend

[@kratos9419]

Can u do ice loadout plssssssssssss

[@csnyder6997]

They should nerf it. I’m tired of being super speed just for the best damage lol

[@pastoryoda2789]

Cory Snyder Super Speed is annoying as fuck but i still stick to flight

[@jamescoward110]

Sorry. Forget all that. Speed is the worst actual movement when getting around the game in general than any other one. Speed is #1 worst, then acrobat, then flight and skim which last two are best. With skim being #1 best. Speeds are the first to die in most raids/boss battles. Stuck on the ground getting pummeled lmao.

[@ObsidianChill]

that is just because the flight and skimming players are exploiting the fact that the devs don't put grounding effects in boss fights. Players aren't supposed to fly above all the tornado's in Gotham City Zoo second boss and be perfectly safe.

[@jamescoward110]

@@ObsidianChill No. Every enemy grounds you. It's literally the most annoying bs in the entire game. And yes we should be able to take advantage of flying. It's the whole point! Now, every boss encounter all you see is "grounded" "grounded" "grounded". The game is broken to pure shit.

[@jamescoward110]

@@ObsidianChill Daybreak just did a shit job at designing set abilities for each movement. Super speed turns into super slow motion when you get hit or hit them. The WORST design I've ever seen in gaming ever!

[@ObsidianChill]

@@jamescoward110 Its a tradeoff, if you want to be able to fly in the air and be safe from everything on the ground the devs need to create attacks that only hit people flying and then all of them would complain and cry on the forums that those attacks only hit them etc. Grounding is the way of keeping everyone on a level playing field.

[@jamescoward110]

@@ObsidianChill And that's where they f up at. There is no level playing field when it comes to people that can fly and those that can not. I mean, imagine removing flying from superman -_- What would his comics look like whenever he fought an enemy, he couldnt fly until he defeated the enemy LMAO. Lol But very informative vid on battle bud. You put a lot of time in your work.

[@RogueAutumn]

Considering how time consuming it is to find a tank through LFG because most people don’t want to tank, there would be even fewer tanks in the game if phase dodge got nerfed. The community would essentially be shooting its self in the foot with talk about nerfing it.

[@knightyper99]

No movement mode power should be way over powered. It's called skill to use and rotate all the other powers as a tank and not rely on phase Dodge. Weapons got a nerf so this needs to be next. There should be 1 advantage at least in each movement mode. Not all the advantages in super speed and the other 2 have nothing special. I agree there are less tanks, less skilled players/DPS and controllers have been dumbed down so the game no longer keeps the interest of many dedicated players because they cater to the noobs.

[@RogueAutumn]

The use of Phase Dodge, or the lack there of, is not a barometer of skill. It’s simply called choice. PD is only OP when a player is skilled enough to know when and when not to use it. The devs need to address the dwindling tank community before nerfing anything tanks may find useful.

[@nothinghereligma3363]

13:12 you’re a demon exposed!!! Lol

[@torvarravenfeeder89]

Movement powers are just so broken. Movement should just be a flavor. All these years and they still won't balance them. Pathetic.

[@matteocastriotta3229]

When you do a water and earth

[@ObsidianChill]

Matteo Castriotta earth I did last dlc, nothing has changed at all since then with the power to change the dps or tanking. Water I will redo after electric so the 2 healer powerset

Oh my God, we get it, SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED SUPERSPEED, this feels more like an indoctrination of how glorious superspeed is and WE HAVE to use it, and everything else is trash. It might be the best thing, but this feels more like a cheap biased advertisement. I was just looking for some information on a specific movement type defenses or if it had any, but I ended up getting more than what I asked for, now I can't stand the word SUPERSPEED anymore.

[@ObsidianChill]

i'm sorry :*(

[@magusxxx]

Maybe I missed you mentioned it...For some reason if you use Dive Bomb you're denied doing any attacks for about 2-3 seconds afterward.

[@ObsidianChill]

didn't mention it, didn't use dive bomb as an ability for this testing. good to know!
