Only if you have a very narrow view of what can and should be adjusted. This is pretty obviously a troll thread, It has no data except pylon times as done by people other than those calling for a nerf and what's more from what I have seen most of the people calling for a nerf don't even understand or don't wish to come clean about why pylon times are a bad measure. The arguments are just flat out poor and the very title is meant to provoke. So yes there is some need for adjustment Edited September 14, 2019 by TheAdjustor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general though, Scrappers currently get more AoE power. Nope, cant give you that one. Older sets (except electric) The best AOE is removed for a single target attack, when they already have plenty. Newer sets keep all their AOE Its because the turning assassin's strikes into ST attacks useful in combat. Realistically all the older sets should be looked at. A midrange ST attack should be removed and the PBOE added back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this means they have no standout attribute or fun minigame to play, though certain sets absolutely shine on them over other Melees, just how other sets shine on stalkers, brutes or tanks. Street Justice, Staff , Dual Blades and Momentum all called. They want to know if you are willing to share what you are smoking.

And then I rolled a psi melee brute also which is now my main replacing my Rad melee brute as my main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the opinion that TW stands out from the other melee sets to a degree that is not seen among other sets. Reigning it back a bit to still be a top tier set and boosting others to similarly be within the range of performance would be healthy for the game.

Its not just Pylon threads, its personal experience with the set and how playing it sours other melee sets when I want to try them out. Even if/when they get buffs, TW staying the same has a ton of appeal with boosted melee range/AoE Size, plentiful secondary effects, and huge damage over other sets to where it still has edges over them. Part of this is just updated set design, where older sets just have flaws that are baked into them that would require substantial reworks to be brought up to par, but if they were to go up to TW's level it will either A) be ridiculous in it's own right or B) ironically, cause TW to suffer as it has drawbacks that X set does not have and thus needs buffs (which continues the cycle). Given that "The game is balanced on SO's" is tossed around so much, I am trying to put together a way that the primaries can be compared at that level with no / minimal IO (something like a performance shifter or a single LOTG in combat jumping) usage, and in different scenarios beyond a controlled punching bag or farm environment such as under the effects of common ally buffs, quantifying secondary effects (how long an enemy is likely to be knocked down, or w/e), and so on. Hopefully this can shed light on sets that need love as well, which I agree is a better thing to focus on. But I just cannot help that unless we have a solid benchmark that TW is part of and not above, it will always be part of the convo / a point of contention.

It is sort of double edged as personal experience is good for you know... actually have experience with whatever subject matter, but at the same time it is subjective and hard to quantify. Your experience so far has been that TW is clunky and not to your tastes, so you find it to be underwhelming while I find it to be incredibly powerful to where it soured other sets going back to them. The truth is probably in the middle. 2) It doesn't indict TW by itself, but currently it does as TW does have +Damage to it that goes outside of the normal design of powers historically, on top of modern design perks via non-direct damage mechanics. Until other sets catch up, it will have these facets over them. 3) Its sorta hyperbole, but say we equalized DPS across all melee sets. Suddenly, TW feels a bit disadvantaged since it has endurance and learning curve issues compared to other sets that deal the same damage over an encounter. TW needs to deal more damage than average given it's mechanic, and it's whole theme of bonking people with a railroad sign. Its just that currently, it seems a smidge overtuned to where it should have been in relation to other sets. The attacks are already coded the same as other heavy-hitter attacks in other sets so they deal great base damage, and ideally you will deal that quickly about 80% of the time in combat. Unlike the same heavy hitter attacks in other sets though, TW gets a bit extra damage per power than if it were another set if that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not conducive to discussion and it's liable to get you moderated. 2) The "Scrapper Minigame" inherent to the class is 'Hit something that will die if you hit it. Hit it again. Hit it more. Maybe watch it's HP just in case your next attack might crit, but probably don't worry about it." Controllers have to make the choice of stacking controls on the same handful of targets for double damage or spreading their controls out to try and contain more targets. Corruptors have to decide whether to keep flinging AoE or pick a single target and burn him down. Stalkers have to get into position for AS and then monitor their next AS Opportunity. Brutes have to walk the line between getting all the aggro and possibly dying for more DPS or letting the tanker have some of it and risking the loss. Dominators used to have to choose their Domination Windows for maximum impact and now just strive for Permadom and juggle keybinds. Scrappers? Not a ton of minigame specific to them. ATOs add in a sort of one where you try to get up a crit-frenzy to drop on the boss. 3) If you'd actually read the thread you'd have seen some important numbers posted based on the damage metrics for TWs slow-version still being between 10% and 44% overpowered... BEFORE Momentum Kicks in and increases the attack speed of attacks by 35-60% (Depending on the power) which, by all damage metrics, -increases- the degree to which their damage scale is too high.

Number 2 is more reason to first buff the other sets still.

These aren't any more or less of a minigame than optimizing a scrapper's rotation and watching the bar for picking attacks. This is really just a battle of semantics here. Optimizing attack chains is what *everyone* does, not just Scrappers. What I was trying to point out is that Scrappers don't have anything truly unique about them like a Fury Bar, Domination, the ability to set up guaranteed crits and so on that fundamentally change how you would approach an encounter based on your AT choice. Individual power sets / powers can change that, but those are shared among at least 3 other AT's with Scrappers too. 2 minutes ago, TheAdjustor said: Sigh, The attacks are slow they root you in place, the set is an end hog, raw DPS doesn't cover the prologue of the story let alone the whole story.

No it's not hard you just have to trade other things to get it, which goes back to the why raw DPS and the pylon thread are bad. TW has the 1st swing of a battle start slow, but the next 4 are very fast and generally cut the time it takes to finish an encounter down substantially. I agree, it blows if your momentum starter misses but more often than not it doesn't. Similar to how it sucks when Follow Up misses on claws and you don't get a damage boost for a whole rotation, at least with TW you can use any other attack to re-attempt. I guess this opens up the question of what is traded for what lvl of Recharge, and in what scenarios. Hasten, a secondary that perhaps give +Rech (handful of these exist), very minor IO slotting for like +10-15% rech, or even being on the same team as somebody with AM or /Time, etc. TW is a very extreme set by design, and the more I am talking about it in this thread the more I think it is a catalyst. Most sets when you add buffs just get proportionally better. TW on the other hand gets exponentially better as the weaknesses are removed or the momentum mechanic is enhanced further. 2 minutes ago, TheAdjustor said: Tried them out with those Raw DPS charts ehh ?

Claws/EA is fun as hell, my Scrapper is that too! 😄 I've also had a lvl 50 TW/Fire on live, a lvl 50 tw/wp and a lvl 22 tw/rad now on HC. Claws is a great set that does different things than TW does, its almost like the opposite of it really. The problem for me personally is going to sets that are similar to TW such as War Mace, Broad Sword, Super Strength, etc where you are wielding a weapon or using your might to fight enemies. The latter examples just don't offer the same results even though they can be paired with /shield, and other "mighty" sets don't offer the same utility or big sweeping hits. Sets like Savage or Staff are both new, and offer vastly different secondary effects than TW to make them stand out, but there are a slew of others that offer some of the same effects and theme that are hit a bit harder thematically and mechanically. 2 minutes ago, TheAdjustor said: Either way I have no doubt you will neither change your mind nor present actual data of how sets compare on actual mission completion, leveling rate or even clearing defeat alls.

The only data we have now is how TW is incredibly popular based on the AT datamines, and how it tops the charts of several damage threads. I would love to gather data on it and the other melee sets outside of such niches to get a feel for what the "intended" performance should be, and then we can even use that as a metric to help the other sets as well.

Galaxy Brain Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) What is WM under? Anyways, circling way back I feel Steampunkette had a good idea on page 1 where a side-grade would be nice. Something that, while it curtails TW's high end performance, makes it a bit easier to use or better on the low end.

But it does seem your comment was directed at melee sets, and even if WM by itself is #5 out of *everything* that is still impressive.
