What I can say is that Rabble plans to do something about enhancements after the Restatting weapons as it's possible now to set power level of items, and they can get rebalanced. Good solution would be enhancements affecting your stats only, not the skills. So Dex + Tech would add damage for Bots (Tech), Res/Def but NOT affect the skills so they would NOT grow in power unless you use your own stats; ones you get when you level up. Advantage is much smaller, you get still bonuses for it but not a major advantage. Anyone else has opinion on this? It could really solve problem of enhancements, at least abusive side of it on skills - we've seen examples of them in the past and do now.

Well no different to now. They won't be able to dish out as much damage as they do now nor we will be able to which balances out as no abuse, same damage and when we look at Str abuse and Rage - it's hard to protect against Str BMs and Tech TMs so they'd get lower damage on skills. If we Tank through them, they get Rage a lot quicker while we fall behind in damage and are put on even bigger disadvantage. Damage difference between builds would cancel each other out, abuse would be gone as explained in previous sentence and Rage would be more effective against Tanks, not favouring abuse, and defensive skills will be a bit more efficient to use.
Damage difference would be small, most enhancements you can get is 40 with Beta gear which is 10 damage in most of the skills. Count in normal players so that's maybe about 32 points = ~8 damage less on skills only. If you use a lot less skills or don't rely just on them, the change would barely affect you yet help you and others.

Instead of 110% of defended attack.
It should be more like 80% of defended damgae with a bigger support bonus givieng a max of 120% and a minumum of 40% ( for those with low support, muhahha DIE STR BUILDS DIE!)
Therefore those with low support will get low rage and actualy have noticeable changes due to support, this would surely but a big dent in power builds, a dent greatly needed.
Note: the maximum diffrence is almost the same as before because support is more infulecning now, this would actuly make support worth investing in instead of being basically pointless unless you totoaly focus on it.

Secondly rage gain should be more like 30-40% of damage tacken not 25%.
Because damage tacken actuly disadvanatges tanks because they dont often get high dmage tacken and it also disadvanatges powerbuild because they take off alot of damage.


So overall for the average build with decent support and average defences the rage rate should be better if not the same as before as for tanks and power builds however they should feel a decrease which they greatly deserve.


ALSO: The above changes WILL imrpove the passive merc skill, since that power wont be the main source for constantrage anymore it means that average builds with this passive will have a much larger and considerably noticable rage rate.
