This should not be the case. Ppl make build based on their skill in the game. If they know what they’re doing, I’d say they have every right to forego some defense for offense.
Please don’t omit ppl skill in your equation. I thought this is “Action” RPG
BTW, I agree with you that you have added more defense options in the game which is a good thing and I very much like.
Yes, I agree, a lot of good stuff, like more physical resist for casters, more cc-res across the board, Trozan set being reborn into something trully awesome, new Thermite Mines, like tonns of good stuff. Game is better than it ever was.
I was saying that by “understanding endgame” I actually mean making working balanced builds that can reliably farm endgame content. I believe you don’t do that, because I don’t think you physically have time for this (and it takes a lot of time).
Not sure why Praetorians got instantly aggroed by my posts, but I am used to that, lol.
This thread is a mess but accessible defense at the cost of offense is something I welcome at this point. I’m just excited to hear it’ll be addressed more on greens and blues. A handful might see niche end-game use then. Maybe more depending on how generous the defensive improvements are.
Sure but those Praetorians, like me, that don’t care about endgame don’t really attempt to influence it or pretend to know about the finer points of it. However, there are a number of Praetorians that do understand it and do influence it.
Regardless, we all thought it was funny. If you could only see behind the scenes your mind would implode, likely.
Back on track, what a curious discussion. Which will not be going anywhere for sure. With game being closer and closer to completed phase I suspect it will be balanced around more unification than distinction. If 1 or 2 builds can do 5 minutes, than the difference with average time is gonna be gigantic. That’s why we should enjoy our overpowered stuff, before they go away for the common good!
Or whatever. But let’s say 6 minutes is golden standard with decent piloting. These kinda builds doesn’t deserve to go to garbage bin. I have to say, that current game diversity is incredible!
Don’t mind the silliness of some of our members… I would advise to wait for the hotfix and see for yourself how the set is changed.
If these changes are too radical, please have a go in writing an argumentive responce towards the changes that you think might be able to buff it up in some way.
I just don’t think this continuous patching is worth it at all. As long as these few builders exist, sub 6 min build will always happen. Ppl skill got better, understanding to the game get better, and science always improve. That’s all. “Fixing” every little hole will never make the game “finished”.
At some point, crate need to accept things and move on.
