Ok folks its clear lightning isnt effective as it is atm.
So heres my idea bump the dmg up a bit remove the warmup but give a longer cooldown.
That way you could use it on the move, and it would actually go off when you want , but the longer cooldown would prevent it being spammed.
Id prefer this alot more.
What do you think ?

Heh... sounds cool... would be nice... but it would turn me into a god.
Against someone who doesn't have a fair bit of defende, throw, choke, armorbreak, and a few hits finishes them, often they barely have a chance to KD recover. Making lightning do more damage, and instantly? Well, what that does is turns those few hits into one: Lightning.

Ok leave the dmg then, as it will grow in power with frs and that will counter the defender negating alot of the dmg.
The way i see it powers isnt in to bad shape apart from the warmup on lightning ....oh and having 2 abilities that inflict the same state (mindblast & forcethrow), change force throw to blind would be better.
Defender is sorta the instant power straight away, where as powers takes time to become powerful in...makes sense if you ask me ...only problem is the lack of frs.

Don't forget about
- weaken - useless, not sure what good it is
- breach - works but it's debatable about how effective it's use is with all the misses
- cloak - currently everyone can still /follow, /assist, AOE, and everything on you, who knows how it'll end up with the ranger changes
- you mentioned the zip bars
- no access to single versions of our AOE attacks
- enhancer has 3 different defenses against powers, which would be fine if breach was a bit more effective
- defender 0040 makes powers useless, LS has armor break, but we have no "force defense break", the most dabbled line in the game.
Ok, powers is still pretty cool as is, but it does lack a bite. I'm not convinced we should have to depend on the FRS to get one either. How're we gona level in the FRS if powers sucks, and who knows when the FRS is gona happen.

defenders will want, no DEMAND to get better with the new FRS ranks, and thus pwrs will still suck.
