That was what, three versions of fury ago now?

For reals, just proliferate everything to the respective ATs. Some sets will be better on one AT or another, but that doesn't make them unplayable on the other ATs, just suboptimal.

Of course, SS on scrappers will be broken like no one's business, but prolly not so much more than Spines on brutes or TW on Stalkers :P

Ugh finally my Stalkers are mentioned as being overpowered! THAT'S RIGHT MY STEALTHY BROTHERS! THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME! RISE OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND KILL WITH YOUR SILENT STABBITY STAB STABBYNESS!

*Ahem* sorry.

Kinda meant as a Dmg Aura, not the type of Dmg it did. Sorry for any confusing ways of typing.

Maybe how i should have put it. "Spines = Dmg and Slow, Embrace = Slow, (Ice)Icicles = Dmg, For a Grand total of 2 Dmg Auras and 2 Slow Auras in 3 Toggles."

Scrappers will likely not get SS anytime soon...here's why...

The last time that came up, the Dev's basically said flat out, if we (the gamers) like SS as it is right now, then it must be left alone. If they look at SS and porting it, it would have to pass a balance pass, and Rage as we know it now, would certainly not pass a balance run. Therefore, if you love SS as it is now, do not ask them to port it. You won't like the outcome.


Currently Playing:
Rage King - SS/Regen Brute (50+3)
Soulfire Darkness - Dark/Fire Tank (50+2)
Deaths Final Embrace - Kat/Dark Brute (50+3)
ULTIMATE REGEN GUIDE I22

Do that many people actually like SS, or do they like how SS performs?

Both I think with how it performs edging out a little.

I always thought it was just the performance that attracts people to it, but the actual mechanics (IE: Rage crash) are what puts people (Like me) off.

I also don't think "Enough people like it so we won't mess with it" is a good enough reason to leave a clearly unbalanced set in the game. Unless of course they are happy to admit that people love it because of how powerful it is and base other sets off that benchmark (Since clearly fun is the aim of the game).

In CoV beta there were Ice Brutes. They were removed before CoV went live because slowing your opposition worked against the whole point of Fury.



EDIT
sorry read the first page and not the second, but ill leave that there just the same.

To the best dev team ever: I enjoyed meeting you all at the Summits and best of luck in all your future endeavors.

I don't know Foot Stomp looked pretty awesome to me when I started playing 4 years ago. I had no idea that it was the best Melee Set out there I just thought that it look and felt really Powerful.

Wish there was still some exclusivity between AT's. Brutes getting Claws and Katana is weird enough as is, goes against the concept by adding 'finesse'.
