@Matrix,

I realize that as well, but do those that do not use str in their build normally uses tank?

A stereotype? Well, we shall need Battle Tracker to determine your question, so analytics are out of the question. We can not generalize the population by stereotypes as they do not represent the individuals who are not of the group.

quote:

if plasma shield was removed from CH, they are no longer strong tankers which then those with tanking class will complain why plasma shield was removed and that their tank builds are now destroyed.

They are no longer durable tanks. It is not inherited that a player relies on cheap skills like Plasma Armour to cover their flaws (which would be defense and resistance) in battle. It should be neutralized between all classes. Cyber Hunters would only tank because of the bonus stat points gained from armour which converts to approximately 50 stat points at max. With armour, it is much easier for a tank to protect from damage, in turn allowing the player extra stat points for health or energy (in the case of focus). 3 of 6 classes have armours, 3 of 6 classes are not permitted this advantage. If Cyber Hunters complain that the bonus points acquired from armours are gone, that is their problem... abusing a cheap advantage.

quote:

After their tank builds are destroyed, and static remains unchange, what's next? Str build. Why?

Not a higher win rate. More Strength will compromise defenses. Cyber Hunters do not own nice passives like Reroute to compensate extra damage. If anything Strength Cyber Hunters will end up being the fastest build killers with a quite low percentage.

quote:

Strength builds are inturn fully encouraged and many will go str build base(assumption here) resulting in many str abuses from the CH class.

True. If I have time later I will suggest edits to the Strength stat itself. Some have recommended lower the base damage, this would be a good first step.

quote:

Eventually people will complain about the strength CH class and static being key role to their str build. Then what happens? Balance team will still end up nerfing static, and wala, we come right back to this same argument about static being nerf.

Its funny you mention that because one of my larger concerns is Static Charge scaling with Base Strength Damage. This is the issue I am trying to reach Ashari about.

quote:

Plasma shield benefits most if not all CH builds, many if not all(assuming) CHs uses plasma shield up to lv6 or higher.

1: I am against Cyber Hunters owning Plasma Armour

2: I am against Static Charge being a skill to scale with Strength

STAIC SHEILD:
Uses up a whole static charge (If blocked it still activates, and sends it into cool down)
and convertes a % of the energy regain from the skill into an energy sheild wich lasts 4 turns and grows in defence each time you are dmaaged (charges itsself)

Each time you are hit 5% of the dmagae tacken is added to the sheild
warm up :0 Cool down :2
lvl 1: 20% of the static charge
lvl2: 25% of the static charge
lvl3: 30%
lvl4: 33%
lvl 5 36%
lvl6: 39%
lvl7: 42%
lvl8: 44%
lvl9: 46%
max: 48%

For example:
A cyber hunter has lvl 1 static sheild and decides to use it.
on clciking this skill they use static charge like normal as if they cliked static charge but instead they clciked static sheild (it sends static charge into cool down also), excpet they gain NO energy from it but a % of the energy regain is turned into a sheild in this example the cyber hunter gets a static charge of 20 energy. 20% of 20 =4
So they have an energy sheild of 4 added for 4 turns yes it is low but its only level one and it grows in power as they are damaged.
For example they are agianst a blood mage which uses fireball and it hits 50 damagae onto them, 5% of the 50 dmagae is added to the sheilds 5% of 50=2.5 rounded to 3 so they gain an extra 3 energy sheild onto the 4 so they now have 7 energy sheild with 3 turns remaning and so on and so forth.

NOTE: skill tree would need to be aranged so static sheild came after static charge and you have to go through static charge to get it, so in other words the player cant have static sheild without static charge hence stuff up the system.

EFFECT: With less defences and sheilds which require gaining no energy from static and sending it to cool down CHs wont be able to heal loop or abuse constant hgih amount of energy.
It wil also benefits the STr build which aparntly Ashari wants so no static restriction would be placed if you a STR build and like a STR build dont use sheilds.
