Crimson Eagle -> Pre-Made Builds! (12/10/2012 0:32:21)

We all know starting EpicDuel was tough! No tutorials and nobody to help you out...
So that's why I was thinking about this, Pre-Made Builds!

What it basically is, depending on your class, shows all the straight forward basic builds! For example:
*You are a Bounty Hunter* It shows a classic Smoke + Blood Lust + Massacre build! (Also shows others!)
*You are a Mercenary* It shows a classic Hybrid Armor + Bunker build! (Also shows others!)
*You are a Tech Mage* It shows a classic Malfunction + Re-Reroute + Plasma Bolt + Deadly Aim build! (Also shows others!)
*You are a Tactical Mercenary* It shows a classic Mineral Armor + Field Medic + Re-Route + Surgical Strike build! (Also shows others!)
*You are a Blood Mage* It shows a classic Bludgeon + Intimidate + Deadly Aim build! (Also shows others!)
*You are a Cyber Hunter* It shows a classic Plasma Armor + Static Charge + Malfunction Build! (Also shows others!)

The new player could then base his/her's build around that! Rather than losing most of your matches because you don't know how to make a good build.
There could be categories: 5 Focus, Strength, Support, Technology and Defense! Maybe even a better understanding of each skill!
This could also be for the high leveled players, they may be bored of their current build and want to change, but not knowing what build works!

Please discuss if you Support/Not Support this idea!

EDIT: Fixed the the Armors, thanks Eventus =P

I would actually oppose this idea, because I personally find that people generally learn best from experience—particularly when learning from scratch. If the game advised players to bias themselves into using a particular build, then they may find themselves more prone to continue using and/or developing under that build rather than ever trying something different. Psychology would reflect this through something known as the "mere-exposure effect," which describes the phenomenon on how people become more likely to prefer one thing over another only because they are familiar with them—it's one of the many reasons why people develop biases in the first place. [;)]

Much of EpicDuel is all about strategy, so one of the key elements that make the game fun is to be able to make your own builds. I believe that the idea of "pre-made builds" would prove counterproductive to that idea, since again, it strongly encourages players to not express their creativity by providing them with "shortcuts" that would ultimately make up a norm.

PS: I do believe you swapped the passive armor skill names in the classes!

The Mercenary has the Hybrid Armor;
The Cyber Hunter has the Plasma Armor;
The Tactical Mercenary has the Mineral Armor.

Not supported whatsoever, welcome to build copying. Pre-made builds sparks no ingenuity and no creativity. Sorry, but no.

In this case, I'd oppose.
Maybe it'll ruin some sort of genius that thought of a build no one has ever done~
