Yes, if you ever want to see the 4.5 you don’t slot it. If you want to be able to open with a high DPA s/t attack you slot it.

I’m trying to get back to the gym, but I don’t like my chances against that level 1 hellion minion.

Idk. If there’s one thing that offends me it’s the perpetually offended.

Do you think players should actually expect to be banned if they mention smoking a joint?

I’m aware. And like I said I’m fine with most of it. I say most because there are a couple items there that no one cares about / reports / enforces.

I don’t have a problem with most of the stuff Blackbird posted, for instance. But I am naturally skeptical of alleged offensiveness these days considering some of the things that tiny minorities of people have decided to find offensive in the last 5 years (and considering how much defamation is mainstream). So my inclination is unfortunately to disbelieve the offended without receipts. Not that you have to give details if you don’t want to, but if not I’m afraid I can’t back you up.

We have no indication at this point that any rules were broken.

Can we get a definition of poor tastes pls

You can now maintain mez protection and a full range of movement speed by just running Rooted but not Granite Armor. So that’s all you have to do if you want to move quickly as a Stone Armor.

Corrosive Enzymes, Wild Growth, Wild Bastion, and Overgrowth are all never-skip status. Skip other ones if you need to.

It might just be that people are primarily favoring corruptors for team pvp where vigilance is no longer leveling the playing field at all.

Corruptors are, on average, definitely regarded as more useful than Defenders in PvP. Be nice if someone could comment on that and why.

But that’d literally be an inevitable feature of randomness... gonna need more than a tiny handful presenting highly limited anecdotes.

I’m not aware of that because it sounds false (slash unsupported at best).

When I put 6 procs in Irradiated Ground on my Bio/Rad tanker, it was immediately crystal clear I had messed up on my Rad/Fire brute build. I’d say that’s the big difference maker between Rad/ vs Spines/, BUT also the feature most likely to be nerfed. So having Spines/ on standby is still likely to win one day.

Playing devil’s advocate here: they currently ARE exclusive because of the fun nazis and 9/11.

Why not give all melee AT’s scrapper damage modifiers, tanker mitigation modifiers, and stalker controlled crits? It’s a straight buff. Do you review your own thoughts before posting?

I don’t think you understand what the “creep” portion of “power creep” means. It refers to something that becomes a problem incrementally, not some overnight implosion of a game. So this is a straw man. Creep is also an engineering term describing how a structure fails due to very gradual deflection over a long period of time. You also mentioned giving Defenders Scourge etc, so acting like I was only criticizing the multipliers proposal is called moving the goalposts. All around shoddy performance tbh.

The supply vs demand dynamic breaks down a bit for goods deemed essential no matter what. So is it possible this wouldn’t help because ATO’s are like cigarettes? Serious novice economics question.

So just make sure there’s power creep in every dimension possible, sure 😉

Oh yeah that’s a chill one

You mean to tell me you have both Rune of Protection and Fold Space on a Shieldy? Pretty adventurous ballsy building, respect. Fold Space failing on +4 bosses depresses me too much. Bit masochistic when it comes to min/max thinking, but my favorite animation is the Total Focus / Thunderstrike / Tremor / Defibrillate one.

Because those are thematic origin related pools and you can only have one such origin theme thing. Be grateful you can even have a choice at all and aren’t locked in to the one actually corresponding to your origin.

It’s hard to imagine Invuln not being overtuned if it actually had a T9 as good as Icy Bastion or Moment of Glory. (I pick those two because they specifically have no crash AND they ONLY focus on filling the sets’ gaps). The only time I have died so far on my Invuln tanker is when I decided to stand still in the falling swords in Apex the entire time. I got a little excited and cocky when I wasn’t dying, then suddenly splat. I said something to the effect of “that damage patch scales up a tad over time huh?” and teammates just said “smh”. They might be able to mitigate the crash a little, but getting much more godly than you can already be with invuln is probably out of the question. I wonder if it wouldn’t be too unreasonable to add psi resistance to Unstoppable in the event that it’s still going to have a crash? Seems like impenetrable godmode is within reason if the crash stays as is.

Maybe, but this is going to be too radical a change to be within the scope of reality.
