Got to run Velvet and P-siren along with the several other Phalanxers on some fine missions for PPD today. Velvet ended up a good half-level higher by the time things were said and done, and I was feeling pretty jazzed about how she did. P-siren had a rougher time, including two unfortunate “What the hell happened to my mentor and why the hell are these bad guys suddenly all purple argh” incidents.
Oh, yeah — Velvet got the Nemesis Staff after the first mssion. Which is ironic, since I probably won’t have a chance to play with it for the next few days, but I took full advantage of it today.
It’s even more fun with ragdoll physics …
Took down Shadowhunter and Infernal, et al. Nice afternoon’s work.
In the left picture, you can see Velvet administering a nice upper-cut to Shadowhunter. P-siren’s up there sticking a psionic throwing knife to his brain. Sword of Asgard’s to the left, Justice Stryke to Velvet’s right.
In the right picture, Velvet lays some Nemmie Staff goodness on Infernal, while Sword on her left and [the other tank who’s name I forget] on her right lend a hand.
Actually, in both cases, Velvet spent most of her time just locking down the bad guy. The Nemmie Staff doesn’t really do much more damage than her Knockout Blow, but it was another nice arrow in her quiver. Good times.
