Shroud.2307 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Okay so, I'm not defending the damage or how it can be done from Stealth, at least not entirely, but the build it was used with is like... The gimmick of all gimmicks. You literally have to almost kill yourself, or at least do a huge amount of damage to yourself, be in melee range and get locked out of your Tool Belt to pull this off.I can't think of a comparison off the top of my head because everything else that's super gimmicky doesn't have to do a bunch of damage to itself and sacrifice major defensive options to get a huge burst. Like maybe a Gunflame Berserker with Strength/Discipline/Arms or something but even then at least Signets can make up for a little bit of defenses.

GutterRat.1269 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Looks fine. Quintuple dmg numbers per skill are the norm, as long as you're playing the right class. If you're playing one of the useless ones, well...why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonecap.4105 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 That’s nice. Have you tried fighting bunker comp guilds before? The overheat would land for like 4k.Can we not balance things based on upscaled green gear users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is literally the the same thing all nerf threads on a class do, show unusually high numbers of stars aligned situations.

Don't worry, I will step up the game for you.I was lucky running Herald instead of Renegade...The trait needs to be completely reworked, almost no one uses it because it's extremely difficult to get any actual value out of it. Using A.E.D. is pretty much mandatory unless you're 100% certain you're going to kill your target without a fight. Overheating locks you out of your Tool Belt skills ( 5 seconds with this trait ), locks you out of Photon Forge ( 10 seconds? ), deals multiple ticks of damage to yourself, requires the target(s) to be within a radius of 240 ( the size of a Necro Well ) and likely doesn't allow much/any room for defensive skills/utilities/traits.I'm defending the fact that this build is a complete joke if you're aware of it's presence. If it's getting Stealthed by allies or self-stacking Stealth then yes that's gonna be a little harder to react to, but the same can be said about a lot more things than just this, and something with so many drawbacks at that.As I said initially, I think the trait needs to be completely reworked. Not a huge reduction in power coefficient or any small tweaks like that because unless you're doing what the attacker was doing, going all in on this one gimmick, it has 0 value. It needs to be replaced with something that doesn't require you to dedicate every resource to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
