DCUO In-Depth: Quantum Controller and DPS Power Set and Stargirl!


After months of patient readers, the last "in-depth" power set review is here!  Those who are in the know realize I'm a "tank" guy (mostly for stress-relief), but of all the non-tank power sets, quantum is my personal favorite.  Just so happens to be that Mr. Obsidian Chill put out an update power set review earlier this year, which is posted below...



The Quantum power set (at least as of this posting) seems to work well in both aspects (controller and DPS... though I tend to focus on the DPS aspect).  Still, as a "squish" non-tank, you're likely going to focus on ranged attacks (as opposed to melee attacks).  Nonetheless, it is relatively easy to master, has great visual appeal, and is simply fun to play (last part, imo)!  If you're looking for a controller power set to try, I'd recommend giving it a try!

(NOTE: This is a re-post from an earlier blog - the updates are located at the bottom of the entry!)




Stargirl - JSA - DC Comics, by FioreSofen

Onto Stargirl... one of the more recent (e.g. 1996) notable super-heroines in the DC Universe.  As the DC Universe has gone through a multitude of continuity changes, it can be challenging to follow her background, but one notable aspect I liked was that she treats being a superhero as a "job", with a public identity (event though she sports a mask), and job responsibilities.  To get a better sense about Stargirl, please visit the comic character wiki, or proceed onto the upcoming television version of Stargirl's wiki!  Do enjoy, and I'll see you in-world!






The Obsidian Chill Quantum DPS/Controller update (late 2019)


... and the Multiverse Quantum DPS loadout (early 2019)


As of late, I've taken it up on myself to try out new power sets (beyond tanking powers).  Imo, its been a mixed bag, with some powers I'm not really crazy about, but others I'm really enjoying.  Quantum is by far one of my favorite non-tanking power sets.  Great graphics, easy to use (DPS-wise... I'm still working on mastering how to be a good controller), and after the Metal Golem 77 battle feat, my highest character.  If you want to try something beyond tanking powers, I'd say give quantum a try!  See you in-world...
