I don’t know if this topic has already been discussed somewhere, if so, I apologize for repeating it, but I would like to share a certain reflection that came to my mind after a good thousand hours of gameplay.
It’s about movement skills like soldier charge or nightblade shadow strike.
Along with introduction of improvements to medals (and further development of this aspect in the next big update) in form of runes that allow for some kind of movement, it seems a bit strange and pointless to invest points in these skills of a given character class, because we always have something similar “for free”.
Maybe due with upcoming new expansion (which is a good opportunity imo), you would be able to consider something like a rework of these skills? Maybe replacing them with something else also usefull?
you do realize stuff is “kinda different” right?
should AAR get removed because we have Conflagration and Obliteration?
is Blade Arc wasted because we have Reaping Arc?
This is not a bad suggestion and I think it’s a fair point.
Yes, they do provide some variety but giving even more for all the points would be better. Perhaps more emphasis on middle nodes. Typically now you push first node, but not really motivated to pump middle node (or last node for Blitz).
There is a reason that Amatok rune is often preferred, even if not a direct fit. So much for so little.
(I had to laugh at all the variety memes when so many other threads have the same bolstering peeps complaining about pretty much the same differences with equipment and skills.)
one is a 2.5 sec movement skill, that you can’t boost CD wise nor dmg wise
the other is a skill you can not only boost dmg wise (skill points and mods) but CDR wise, which means it can get half the cooldown
this not only makes it better in terms of potential movement “speed”, but obv dmg,
ie it’s a worthy skill to build around
reworking it “because we have some movement elsewhere” is… a silly suggestion to put it mild
they do not even compare when actually used like that
heck the mention of Amatok is actually good, because the equivalent of that would be removing vanquisher set/vire’s might, which might i add is not only a very popular build in terms of beginner/build perception for speed and farming, aside from ofc being an actual decent “top” endgame build performance wise
“etc etc etc” for every single item granted skill that exist that we have in class
Well, ther is no silly sugestions, but some of sillisnes is to quote and answer to yourself lol…
Anyway and fortunately, the last word is not yours.
I’ve been following your activities here for a while and I see that you’re one of the “wisest” ones. So, thank you for further discussion.
@Zantai Well, sure we can have both, these are just my thoughts and observations after playing with many characters. I just noticed that I was completely giving up movement skills in favor of enhancements from medals.
