Champions Online: The Fist

I am really digging the new archetype The Fist.  I've been waiting for a really good Kung-Fu style power set.  Unarmed was okay but it seemed a little awkward for a martial arts set.

The great thing with the Fist archetype is that you start off with a great offensive weapon.  Vicious Strikes is your energy builder.  Those familiar with the Unarmed power set will recognize that.

The real bad boy is One Hundred Hands.  It is a melee power with AoE damage.  It works great in groups.  And you get this power at level 1.  It feels similar to Eye of the Storm but without the defensive bonus.  And it has a pretty awesome animation.  Very Bruce Lee-like.

With the Double XP Weekend this is the perfect time to start a new character and get him or her leveled up fast.

Before the weekend is over, I also want to try The Master archetype.  This nicely rounds out the non-sword martial arts powers.
