Martial arts's Storm kick got a big boost since the tanker buff scaling changes!

[Vulgaris]

If this is a bug or overtuned and changed I will be immensely sad as this is actually really cool to have on an otherwise unpopular single target Smashing/Lethal damage taxed tanker set as is. As I'm currently trying out an MA/BIO Tank and using this to supplement the hybridized defenses.

It's been like this since forever. I think since live. I worked it into Fire Armor to give it 45% to melee, ranged and AoE which also works for Rad Armor and Bio and etc.

I could have sworn it was just a 5-7 percent positional defense buff previously...  Even during a discussion around the 4th of last year I remember remarking a 7 percent positional defenses bump wasn't shabby at all still 🤔

Edit: In retrospect I might be partially embarrassing myself due to wanting to excitedly share a discovery that is not a discovery at all since I might be thinking of brute values. I am a big enough person to say "Oops"

It may be a Brute thing 😄 Nothing wrong to be excited though, it's good to have that happy passion about something. Never apologize for being passionate about something. Furthermore about Tanker things in the Tanker forums 😄

 

You didn't ask for it but since I recently made a Bio/MA build I'll drop it here and maybe you'll get some slotting inspiration from it.
