They also did not have bodyguard mode at first, which makes the 'vision' even more questionable.

I think the main issue is just HC neglecting to bring up underperformers in a timely manner. The things they've done so far are mostly good, but for the patch cadence, it's really not enough. Though, the way they've been handling nerfs is a bit questionable. The nerf to the brute damage cap while buffing tanks was a prime example of some backwards logic. They also neutered fire armor's damage output and essentially made it boring.

Yeah, I use ctrl+lbutton for manual combat porting, and that command to button5 for targeted ports. Works wonders. You can do the same for jaunt, but it's less responsive.

That's weird. Are you using /powexeclocation target combat teleport ? I love speed of sound, but combat teleport wins in terms of responsiveness.

As a general rule, blasters want to be in melee, utilizing their entire kit for maximum damage. People say this isn't the case, they are wrong. The exception to the rule is Ar/ta. This is the only top tier pure ranged blaster. Crazy map sweeper, and one of my favorite characters in general. Rad/elec is ridiculously strong and a popular off meta build for speedruns. The elec manip attacks make up for rad's lack of st attacks, so you have a very strong synergy there, and -res supporting your melee hits. Psi/ninja shreds bosses and has pretty decent control for a blaster. Between psinado, choking powder and blinding powder, most things you're killing with your absurd single target aren't likely to fight back.

Played and built properly, they are hands down the strongest. Powerset combo and the build itself are the big considerations.

Fire/fire Ar/ta Rad/elec Psi/nin

Mostly a read on practical output. But if it's not doable then it's whatever. I've had a few frustrations with lot of people in the community that don't know how to read data correctly, so removing the extra step would help. Anyway, this thing needs a pin.

I like this a lot after spending some time with it, just have to mentally filter out the overkill dam. More customization on the ingame interface would be nice, I don't care about healing as a blaster, and such.

Some dude randomly shows up and makes the most impressive attempt at a parser thus far. Can't test it for a good bit, but I assume this one properly accounts for overkill damage?

The irony is crazy.

Will do, thanks.

I don't need life advice from a forum moderator who asks for advice and gets upset when said advice isn't worded to their liking. I'm not swearing, your word policing doesn't interest me. On that note, I remembered a third point I neglected to mention earlier, because I forgot: You tend to ignore the general point of a post and hyper-fixate on one tiny little thing you don't like, not even against the rules, you just don't like it - discarding any other content in said post in your replies, and giving others (It's not just me, rest assured.) the general impression that you're being unfair. I'm really trying to be honest and work with you here, but I'm not going to pat you on the back and tell you you've been doing a good job, I think the moderation has been a joke overall on the forums specifically, and my feedback is going to be direct and reflect that.

Did you want feedback? Or would you prefer I lie and say forum moderation has been acceptable this past year and a half?

Specifically moderating the people that are actually out of line in a given thread would be great and the ideal solution. Particularly if a means to ban people from just the specific thread could be made, as I think an outright forum ban for going off topic is extreme. Given major "hot" threads in recent history though, I do doubt the ability of this being done responsibly and not just making it worse. I've seen people invoke the dead and not get actioned, but friends of said departed responding to that in reasonably hostile fashion got suspensions. Once again, asinine. I could be more direct in DMs if you wish, Googly. As I'm sure specific names and examples for the double standard don't fly in a public thread.
