I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Cryptic did a great job with the gameplay but I can't help but believe they're morons in balancing classes. I play a GWF( lvl 58) but havent played in weeks. I was really hoping Cryptic would give some lovin/buffs to GWFs but what do I see in the new patch? Major nerfs to GWF.

Why nerf an essential skill to an already low-demand class? Seriously, instead of balancing dungeon mobs from player exploits, creating a need for AOE dps or just the GWF kit in general, they nerf SLAM. The class already struggles with finding groups in pve since CW's can just toss mobs off the map and TR's deal way more single target DPS to bosses.

I don't understand Cryptic's thought process.

Well that's frustrating. If I'm going to play this, GWF is what I'm drawn to.

See also: Science skills in STO, pretty much anything in Champions, a lot of stuff in CoH back when they ran that. Cryptic has never been any good at balancing, ever. I'm not sure why people keep expecting this to change. Still, I'm starting to think GWF is the new Regen Scrapper. (For those who never played CoH, for the first five issues or so it seemed like every other patch nerfed regen somehow, usually for bullshit reasons.)

Also regarding elves, the million different types are hardly unique to this game. The source material has tons of elves, so this game has tons of elves. Simple, right? Screw that whole variety thing, people clearly want their one preferred variety of elf which means we need all of them so we can cover our bases.

To be fair, I played a regen scrapper, and we were kind of bullshit. :shobon: Once you hit a certain level you made most tankers obsolete.

I want to play a gnoll. Where's my playable gnoll race, Cryptic?
