Re: [Shadow Warrior] Experimenting with Assault Stance

Instinctive aim isn't in the game and giving up that much toughness is pretty difficult for me to rationalize One level from instinctive aim. I would think assault spec should be balanced based on all available abilities and not just level 32. The stat gain vs the toughness loss should be a no brai...

Re: [Shadow Warrior] Experimenting with Assault Stance

For semi-usefulness cooldown on Sweeping Slash could be lowered to 2 seconds (or something). Also, I think, that Masterful Aim should be convertable in strength too. Masterful aim converting is probably not something they can code, they'd just have to adjust it to add strength as well as BS. If it ...

Re: I feel like I'm FORCED to play a healer or tank as Order

I have a theory for the solo que healer situation. On live, a character required a significant investment of time to level, gear and make competitive. This meant that people, including healers, were more inclined to play their main - even without a group. RoR suffers from "alt-itis". In Ro...

Re: Assault Tree redeemer?

For context, the "SW buffs" were part of a wider physical range dps buff patch that saw SW, SH and Eng get + Str/Bal/WS tactics among other things. The changes focused exclusively on the ranged aspect of these classes. Regarding sweeping slash - I was able to find one use of it on live. Th...

Re: Premades vs. premades

Does Iron Clad also have to be brought back? If no, why bring back EC, it is basically just as broken. Ekrund is only slightly better (looking at you hallways and LOS ramps.) I know, this is an exaggeration but it is kind of frustrating that there are some scenarios that completely sideline RDPS. Or...

Re: [SH] Bad Gas

Assault stance definitely converted ballistics talismans to strength on live. It may not have at launch (i recall they made some changes to add crit conversion). It also doubles armour talismans. This is a fact. Potions, tactics and buffs renown stat points never converted over. Whether they should ...

Re: [SH] Bad Gas

I've seen in RvR lately heavy increase of bad gas and it simply works.

Re: [SH] Bad Gas

Yes, Squig Armor locks you out ofyour ranged attacks. That answers your next question i guess (what exactly is the problem with using SA). This is fundamentally the same as assault stance - although the limitations are worse. In squig armour, you should be able to use the same mirror abilites as th...
