kittycat -> Plasma Bolt (3/29/2013 3:16:19)

Hello, I think Plasma Bolt needs a nerf. It is getting too ridiculous now. You can simply spam absurd damage at a mere cost of 31 Energy Points. Supplemented with Assimilation, it has gotten a bit too far and mana steal only helps a little. Tech mages can simply just spam tech up to 40-48 resistance and work their way through using Assimilation and Reroute to get what they need to spam an excessively powerful amount of damage. I was once a tech mage myself, and at 111 tech, I can spam 66 damage at Level 5. That's a bit too cheap isn't it?



ansh0 -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/29/2013 3:21:20)

66 damage is nothing.

Also, people everywhere are running high tech 5 focus which makes PB do only around 30 damage.

TM would be way too UP with another nerf.



Mother1 -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/29/2013 3:32:41)

@ ansho

Once again another opinion without hard evidence. On my main I am focus 5. However, I don't spam tech with my tech mage for plasma bolt so that right there makes your statement invalid. please stop trying to turn every thread in the balance section into a find every excuse in the book to nerf focus 5.

On topic

I agree with you Kittycat Plasma bolt even with the nerf it got is still very OP. Why rabble refuses to make it scale with 4 tech instead of 3 like it used to is beyond me. I am using low level alts, and like in delta my characters are getting 2 turns even with decent resist due to them tech spamming even if it is at a low level.

They need to increase the scaling of this move cause at all levels it is packing too much of a punch.

Any hard evidence?

Dude, i win like, 9.5 every 10 battles on low level alt mage. Al a level like 10, there is nothing to save BHs and Mercs from this.



Mother1 -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/29/2013 3:52:14)

Especially with the malf plasma bolt combo. Even extreme dex abuse TM which I am actually using with my alt right now is weak against Tech spamming TM at low levels. Plasma bolt needs a better nerf then increasing the energy needed by 2 at all levels. Undoing the last bit of the buff rabble did (meaning changing plasma bolt from needed 4 teach to 3) would be the nerf Plasma bolt needs to be balanced again.



kittycat -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/29/2013 14:22:35)

True. At least make it on par with Fireball would be nice :) - That way it should be equal.

@ansh0: Invest in 156 tech points, and you can deal absurdly powerful damage that's equivalent to Max Surgical Strike/Super Charge at 2/3 of the tech invested.



ansh0 -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/29/2013 14:31:09)

What about other stats?



kittycat -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/29/2013 21:38:01)

It doesn't even make sense. Strength doesn't best fit the category because Plasma and strength have no relationship. Support would only make support builds more OP. Dexterity would be also more OP for dex builds.



StatueOfLips -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/30/2013 3:49:15)

Too low energy required for 50 damage
(level 5 bolt with 100+ tech does over 40 damage roughly)



ansh0 -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/30/2013 3:55:00)

^You can easily heal that. Or EMP the mage.



StatueOfLips -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/30/2013 3:56:27)

@above
All of them have asimmiliation



ansh0 -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/30/2013 4:43:06)

Assimilation can be blocked and only gives back pretty much half of the EP drained.



StatueOfLips -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/30/2013 4:49:55)

@above
you only saying that because your a tech mage yourself
and assimilation barely get's blocked for me and other



kittycat -> RE: Plasma Bolt (3/31/2013 1:35:24)

It is like you need to have the power of 5 leprechauns to overcome them. Even though you are able to drain mana and stop them, the damage is a bit cheap. (66 damage for a Lvl 5 on 101 tech?!) (80+ damage for 31 EP?) - That's not okay.
