The berserker killer -> Phase Shift Core (12/3/2015 22:18:23)

I do not have the core, yet, but if it is a one time use i believe that it should definitely be buffed to having a 3 turn cooldown. The effects of this won't be large because:

1) Strength has been nerfed, dramatically
2) The core is blockable
3) The core does not offer any bonus damage whatsoever

With those three reasons in mind I believe a slight buff is needed for this specific core. Once again, the buff i am suggesting at this moment is only a 3 turn cooldown, with the mana price being kept the same.

IMO it should go to 3 turns, AND get the cost reduced to something really low, if not just free. It's just a nice alternate option, but hosts nothing really special.

It's a cool idea but has trouble fitting into builds and just in general use in the current meta where people are allowed to very easily make both their defenses equal, and almost all the time it's the most optimal to do so. Debuffs aren't that strong either to make matters worse.

I got it and its not ussefull because everybody has as much resistance as defense. For example: If you fight a focus, his defense and resistance will be around 420.
It just efective when the opponent has used a shield, but it doesnt happen often (Anyway, meteor shower is a better option). If Smoke and Malf were used this core would work, but this is not the case.
By the way, the core has 3 turns cooldown. Maybe it shouldnt have a cooldown and cost the same energy or have a cooldown without any cost.



The berserker killer -> RE: Phase Shift Core (12/4/2015 11:45:26)

It does have a cooldown? Perfect.

Well I think it is agreed that the core could definitely use a buff then. How does 2 turn cooldown soundracing, since you actually have the core and have used it under various circumstances.



racing.lo.mas -> RE: Phase Shift Core (12/5/2015 9:46:55)

Well I guess that weapon just works with strenght builds. The only class that can use it is TM and only when the opponent use Technician or Energy Shield, because you can use Bludgeon, Scythe and this core.
Maybe it would work if it had 2 turns cooldown, because you can use it 2 times while the opponent has the shield.
Em.. other case where this core would work is when you fight a dexterity if you have an physical primary. Them sometimes use to have 550 defense and 320 resistance, but the problem is that this core is blockable.

Actually TLM would probably benefit more because TM has two physical STR-based alternatives (Bludgeon and Fire Scythe) while TLM only has one (Toxic Grenade).



The berserker killer -> RE: Phase Shift Core (12/5/2015 10:34:39)

Well technically this skill benefits each and every class the same as it adds another alternate attack. Any buff to this move should actually benefit each and every class the same. Especially when you factor in the fact that bounty hunters will have an energy move, chs will have a physical move.

Right now, the only thing allowing this skill to be reusable is the fact that it does not grant any bonus damage. I would like to keep it that way, but I do feel as if the cooldown should be changed to 2, if not 0 turns. Afterall, this core is practically a big deal or will be a big deal in this game



racing.lo.mas -> RE: Phase Shift Core (12/6/2015 15:22:16)

Maybe with 0 cooldown the core will work. You will be able to use it whenever you want but all the times you can use it will be regulated by the cost of energy.
I have never used this core 2 times in a fight because when I needed it, it was on cooldown.
Example, you are BH and you have used smoke on your target. The opponent used any defense or dex skill, you can use this core but then it is in cooldown, and when you can use it again it's too late. What's the benefit of a cooldown if you will only use this core 1 time? So It's better meteor shower, If you only will use this core once (Meteor shower is unblockable and add damage).



racing.lo.mas -> RE: Phase Shift Core (12/6/2015 15:27:16)

Oh I got another idea to make this a good core. What about if the core strikes switching your type, and after it the weapon stay in the opposite.
How it would work: you have the energy version and you use the core. You strike dealing physical damage and after that the weapon stays on the physical version.
And then you can use the core again after a cooldown.

This suggestion:

is actually a very good idea. Afterall, this core and this sword doesn't fix the problem of certain classes (BH, CH) who main attacks are of 1 element but it does help each and every class by far.

I hope a dev sees that suggestion. And, actually, I hope that aux, gun, robots with that very same core are made.
