Go back to AE Darth. Seriously. Nerf herders? When the thread is clearly..adjusting? Just cause you are too silly to see anything that doesnt make things BETTER as a nerf. And not..you know..balance. Adjusting, fixing. To bring of DP and SoC again..would they getting changed, in a downward direction, be a balance, or a nerf? (Im sure I read they admitted dp was OP). It is rather amusing since your forum sig mentions forum balance..for all, yet you cant SEE some people see it as a fix.

I don't care if people are arguing that SS does not need a fix/adjustment, whatever. That is there opinion. Like Bill, he makes some good points about it. But when people offer decent suggestion on ways to balance something, and you just cry Nerf Herding..Just say you don't think it needs balancing. Is that so hard?

That is what I was waiting to hear. Well said Hopeling. Maybe it isnt an incredible set, but even discounting rage buffing out of set attacks, it is STILL damn good I think. Again, with just ONE stack of rage! 80! 80% damage, a 10 secs crash. Too good, in my opinion.
I like your idea of a lower buff vs other damage types Hope.

Not to be snarky Bill but...please, where does that comment come into it given Drain Psy and Seeds of Confusion? There is NO way in hell those powers are balanced, given the amount of info I have seen people give on them, and yet..years later..here they are, still the same.

Just cause the devs leave something unchanged, NOW, does not mean I cant think and say that something is OP. And again, is NOT a reason to discount balancing it.

Back to the Crash. It is totally unfair to defence based sets. How can it not be? Discounting the super duper IOd toon (which as the devs say..the game is not balanced on...if its not, then we cant claim a power is out cause IOs can mitigate it) it is impossible to say an SR brute wont feel it more than a Fire armour.

To Agge...my SS/shield brute with about 60% rech and Rage slotted for..55? recharge, I can stack it I use Ageless. So..I assume you could do it even easier if the power was rech maxed out.

Also, I dont stack it on my brute..I did not even try building to that. And I STILL think Rage is too good, with just one hit. Oh, and that the Crash is much worse being a defence set!

Totally want this. Especially after watching Equilibirium (sooo many I's!). Not sure there would be enough demand for it though..since a lot of people arent really keen on the DP animations.

Maybe I should have elaborated a bit, and said what I meant..instead of just meant in my head. Saying SS works great does NOT mean it is balanced, makes sense, or has a good theme, or anything else. It means (here, from me) that it works great. Which it does. Stacked rage is insane, footstomp is insane with that rage. Great performance. My arguments for wanting it changed, the set and rage, mostly just rage...are that its just too good. And not inline with other sets. As an outlier, even one that works great..why cant that be a reason for change? (Also, I thought stalkers were 100% fine and great before the buff. I didnt think they needed it..so really, we have reverse positions there!)

(Edit, for new thoughts. It now occurs to me that saying its indsane performance may not be true..I am not sure on the numbers or anything, but I have no doubt someone could give a firm Yes it is a great outlier, or a No it isnt. Especially since the best SS case, pairs it with FA. But even so..I still think it offers far to much compared to other sets.)


I never said it was constant damage (I think..). Again, I think it should NOT be stacking..it makes no sense. Going with that, and clicking once, thats a 10 second crash. 110 secs of 80% dam, 10 secs of none (BUT you can use vet powers..mu, nem staff, blackwand..3 HIGH damage attacks, that will do find damage in the crash). That is pretty near too constant as we can expect. Its a LOT more constant than build up. My other argument with the crash (not that teh crash is there..I agree with you..it should crash) is how unfair the -def hit is to defence based build. Even the crash up..that is my other suggestion.

Did you get the badge for the auto complete? For some reason, I was/am thinking that you couldnt auto those personal ones, like just about every other badge mission.

Yes. Yes before even reading these pretty well thought out ideas. A bigger yes after. Take away rage and the set is nothing great (apart from perhaps footstomp, just for the animation speed).

Consider SS nerfed to EM lvls..KO blow as a slooow comparasion to ET/TF, but without that extra damage and to hit. All the other attacks arent much, and what if the animation on FS was more in line with say..Tremor? I wonder how many people would play the set.

Note that I do NOT want that to happen..but I'd like to see a change. I have long long thought that Rage, apart from being awesome, makes no sense at all. Your mad, furious, crazy angry..and you hit..more accurately? What the?

I like Claws ideas. A all round damage boost would make MORE sense conisdering the whole..super strong thing. No crash on rage (after its tweaked) is also much better..and MUCH fairer to defence based builds. Id only allow Rage to be double stacked..if the buff from it was near follow up lvls..if it was still 80% damage, limit it to one activation at a time.
