Well, no offence to anyone, its hard to envision an increase in build variety with any changes if you've never really been through the "designing and creating a unique build" grind. For those players who have created multiple builds in the past such as ruthless ninjas bounty hunter strength build, jay hawks merc zerker, ultra thors massacre build, matt 1000s tm abyss build, variations f5 blood mage build, Caspyins f5 hybrid blood mage build, all of which were insanely great until devs nerfed them, they know what im talking about. The grind of spending 10k credits a day experimenting and trying to create new builds. It's really a learned skill, that comes with months of hardword. it's not something that just happens over night.
Once a player creates a build, other players distribute it, then those players toy with it, and build variety is hence created. Looking at the balance thread right now I can assure you that one of the biggest and most effective balance changes, should it be implemented, is the change to the phase shift core. How do I know that? It's just experience and, right off the bat, if this suggestion and the phase shift core suggestions were to be implemented, I could come up with 5 different builds for each class.
If you were to implement Thylek Shrans idea of buffing icy chill, improb gate, and meteor shower, then I can come up with an additional 3 right off the head for each class. And by buffing primary weapon damage to the same as swords (if not more) while allowing swords to have more stats in order to maintain their integrity as racing suggested, along with not allowing kartherax to affect energy control as Santonik suggested, you'll be looking at a whole new and improved game.
This isn't opinion. This is fact and I wish I could explain to you why I know it is fact but it's just the experience I've gained. The failure to realize the effectiveness and capabilities of such cores/skills is a primary cause of this games decline in variation.
I actually do well in school. I probably run the largest underground operation where I type and sell essays for tens of thousands of kids in nearly every school in my state hence why I was able to pay my own tuition of 10,000 USD throughout highschool. I apologize if I offended you in any way but I do not feel as if it was necessary to say that about me.
EDIT: I am not bragging when I say I can come up with these builds. Other players can create builds too, so if I can come up with 5, another player could probably make 7 since we're just different people.
