Mother1 -> RE: SUPPORT ((what is this could include?) (8/23/2014 21:37:40)

Support already does numbers 3,4,5, and somewhat 6. For those they cut the explaination of what support does down to two lines so it would fit better on the page. However they forgot to mention it in the design notes so it lead people to thinking support got nerfed into the ground which resulted in many people changing and finding non support based builds due to this. Here is the link to the thread where whitetiger explains this. As for the other part of 6, the problem is even though rage gain does work with support the forumla itself also works with defenses and and offense as well. IIRC Rabble is working on a way to change this so rage doesn't favor attackers because as it is now it favors those strike builds we face now. Now as for Number one on your list Static Smash, Atom Smasher and Assimilation all work with primaries and primaries work off of strength not support. As for the other cores outside of skill core on the tree you couldn't be further from the truth. There are only cores that work with either strength, Support or nothing. There are no dex and tech powered cores. So it goes like this Strength Support Nothing Dex and Tech tied. Lastly for number 2 I don't agree with it for this reason. Changing Technician and Smoke over to support would give Tech mage and Bounty hunter too many moves that work and/or need support. Tech mage already has Defense matrix, Malfuction that work of it and fire scythe that requires it. As for Bounty hunter they have Reflex boost, Energy shield, as well as Massacre and Shadow arts that require this so that is 1/3 of BH skill tree that needs support, and 1/4 of TM's tree that work with support. Doing this change would make TM have 4 moves that work off/need Support on their three and 5 for BH which can cause other balance problems later on down the line.
