My Bio Tanker will probably continue to never ever die tbh.

Only like every attack

I would be absolutely shocked if you managed to prove anything since I highly doubt you figured out how to objectively weigh S/T DPS, AoE DPS, and added protection/mitigation/CC all in one metric, but feel free to link me to the post you’re talking about if you want me to verify. I’m not going to read the entire thread again just to check if you’re capable of accounting for all variables.

I assure you most of us are not going to actually wind up leaving Offensive Adaptation over these changes.

Too lazy to port stuff to test rn; is Focused Burst proc rate demolished as it is for Chain Induction?

Think some people are trying to obfuscate here like that’s going to work. Procs themselves aren’t a problem. Powers with stats that conveniently line up a little too perfectly with the PPM system are the only problem. We don’t need to throw out Controllers’ ability to do damage too just because you’re upset that Radiation Therapy is no longer a 1 second animation nuke on a short recharge. I’m normally the last person to lose my mind over common sense nerfs, but the way some of you are asking for much broader sweeping nerfs instead of targeted nerfs just because you’re bitter about the state of procs is a little crazy IMO. Be careful what you wish for. Having to respec every single character you have over one patch could still be on the table.

Controllers specifically needed to be buffed up relative to others, which is why the controls were exclusively given to them in that patch when they were.

they aren’t broken except in niche cases

I was responding to the quoted poster’s obvious exaggeration about proc changes in general, not making a commentary about Consume.

They’ve still left the vast majority of proc bombs in tact. They’re maybe nerfing the top 5%.

I decided against proc bombing Sleep Grenade after observing basically the same things Maelwys noted. Make sure you proc bomb Flash Bang though.

i’m gonna assume 1M price for now and have that to you by mid afternoon good buddy

Yeah these current big power change patches necessitate like 10-20 respecs per patch from me. A complete 180 on PPM could necessitate over 80 respecs. I prefer their more careful approach for sure.

Why don’t *you* prove your point? I don’t know how one can objectively compile single target damage, AoE damage, and added survival/mitigation fairly into one metric, so why don’t you handle this? I think most here have real lives and don’t need people constantly giving them homework assignment. If you do insist on being lazy, please at least provide the testing parameters necessary to prove you right or wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt.

we’re sorry, but two to three alleged people in the distant wilderness prefer beanbag and the full unstoppable crash. overruled.

Side comment that will probably be controversial: I would personally be willing to trade the entire instant heal component of OS for the perma portion of the buff components to be better. It has a lot of good effects, but IMO the recovery is the reason one would forego DR for it.

I’m not the expert here, but I suspect the actual answer involves legality on some level

I am sure Empathy will eventually get buffs, but I don’t think you can realistically expect the majority of your specific suggestions. The RA cooldowns, maybe. But these ideas?: - Overheal = absorb - Making Empathy heals defy standards by just being flat out better than Pain or Thermal heals - Conversion of single target status protection to AoE Would require major mindset shifts within the dev team. IMO points 2 and 3 are suggestions that would break hard and fast rules for them - just from the outside looking in those seem like pretty firm standards.

If we could do anything to increase the long duration buff at all from this new meager amount, even if it means reducing the 10s and 20s buffs, that would be appreciated IMO. I don’t think recovery buffs are something I want to experience as just a rare treat when you have to forego Dark Regeneration for such buffs. Haven’t tested newest version yet but the new numbers look pretty sad imo.

do you need money for a respec recipe troo

I kind of think you think it’s me, which I hope you don’t because it’s factually not, rendering that repeated assumption kind of embarrassing. But I can’t figure out who else would be mocked as having a “rage boner” so it’s definitely a curious conundrum.

Guys i know we disagree but let’s make sure we’re being excellent. Googly is this close to having me deported.

What would we even talk about here if pro-changeling activists didn’t defend their glitch to the death? The rest of the game? BORING. Count me out.

I wasn’t the one who used the quoted phrase good buddy

Never said you didn’t. Last page is just semantics because someone took personal issue with the usage of a word.
