If the game were completely balanced, there would be some build or some item that got you a slightly better win percentage. Focusing on balance shouldn't be done,but rather being able to use all 9 skills of every skill tree successfully( not just at lvl cap). Until close to lvl 30 you can only focus on one half of a skill tree. If you try to spread out skill points, you lose unless your facing someone that's lower lvl or only have primary weapon. Focus has the same problem. You can't use a focus build unless you bought Varium or get lucky in the arcade. When more than 5 good builds exist for each class, the game will naturally be more balanced.

I can't make sense from this...

...that IS part of balance.
If one skill starts being better than the others by a noticeable amount *coughbludgeoncough* then it becomes dominant and we get the current situation.

Even if the numbers are numerically and mechanically imbalanced, you can have balance of actual gameplay.
Level cap is a good way to implement this, because we all know if the level cap was 80, things would just break even more, but when its capped at 40 you can balance around it.

Legendary ranks are just ridiculous and broken though.

I'm talking about using focus before lvl 25. There is no way to have a focus build unless you have Varium or got lucky in arcade until lvl 25. Being able to use all skills is more about creativity than balance. Right now you have to use certain skills(mob battery) to even have a shot of winning. I'm talkingv about making a build without any energy gainers/drainers and being able to win without having to use these skills which are necessary now



Xendran -> RE: Creativity (2/19/2014 17:10:42)

You could always try a high energy build but you would need a lot of heavy concentrated fire and focus on massive burst damage. You'd probably have to be really clever and use a very very extreme build (pure energy str hp, go for quick maul/ds zerker kills)



edwardvulture -> RE: Creativity (2/19/2014 17:17:31)

The only high energy build that I've seen work so far is the CH str/sup massacre build because the static charge grants a guaranteed hit which synergizes with the malfunction.
