Defiance


Barricade

 

Posted

Over on the US boards, I have a thread discussing changes to Defiance. It's sort of an open brainstorming session. I don't know if you folks can/do post over there, so I figured I'd post this here so you can join the discussion.

Here is the thread. Looking forward to hearing from you folks!

Apparently there is already a thread in progress on this topic over in the Developers Corner. Please post your feedback there!

Yeah. Right.
And those cheques from Arachnos you're getting while hanging out at a sensitive security site like Portal Corp just happen to be easier on your bank balance too, do they?

Nice to see my eyes aren't the only ones that find the villains skin more viewable


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

That's because you have red eyes. Eyes of death.

There's no such thing as evil, merely misunderstood.

Well, that's what my old drama teacher used to say. Then again she was a naïve [censored] so that probably had something to do with it.

The problem for evil people is not that they're misunderstood - it's that they're understood only too well

Ahhh screw defiance lol vigilance needs work on :P Us poor defenders get a hardly noticeable end redux which I've never found useful :P

quit whining, now give me my speedboost! :P

_castle_ any timeframe for a resultion to this?

I like defiance... I actually think that it works really well as is.

Just my 2 pence.

Give the Blaster better ++'s to damage earlier. It's simple really... atleast test it on Training Room to see how it works. If anything the humble blaster needs a good inherant power to balance out their squishiness, and at the moment, all their power does is to make them more squishy if you want to try to use it.

The 800% bonus (or whatever ) is a bit high...then half it, but double rate it builds up.

I've got a 36 blaster and a lev 23 blaster. Only once have I thought "wow, defiance was useful!"

So i play my brute, i smile each time i smack out a power with full fury. So i play my dominator, how lovely to see that power going when you popit. So i play my MM, bodyguard makes me tanker-style. So i play my controller, double dmg ftw!

So i play my blaster, i scold defenders to stop healing me, i yell at tankers to stop taking 100% agro. I even order scrappers and trollers to stop attacking at all! Then when i finaly have a superhigh defiance, i start my shoot animation (yes, quite some have long animations) and die. They mock me.

Maybe the Ice primary is just exceptionally nice with defiance then. Cause I've not encountered the animation lock of death with my Ice/fire

Obviously playing defiance with an Archer doesn't work though so I dont bother

Definitely.

As my Archer is also the same secondary as yours I can see we've hit the same issues

Nail on the head.

Every other inherent power I can see working, but my age old blaster's Defiance? Utter pants.

The blaster needs an inherent power change, it just does not function anywhere near as well as the other inherents.
