this isn't about it being op is it?

Are they getting higher scores than you?


Of course that it is about the damn score. I have no idea why people care about it in the first place. to balance the game they should remove the scores and replace it with one score for entire team, that would end 95% of nerf threads.

I linked one video, there were two slash classes in two different spots. They were actually in two of the worst spots.

If you think that you can't use the ability safely behind a wall, you aren't doing it right.

You don't aim slashes up or down, they have a vertical component only.

You can only aim slashes horizontally. They don't go up, or down, unlike other powers of a similar nature.

You're still denying pros and cons of the ability that balance it out vs other abilities which still shows incredible bias, and faulty testings, which is nothing new to your attempts to nerf things, honestly.

You're also ignoring the rest of the class, and classes which help determine balance, too.

I'm asking you back up your findings personally, and show them. You've already messed up several times in your presentings.


Slash has an innate vertical component, but unlike Smash it cannot go below or very high above the horizontal plane. I've never claimed different. On the other hand it goes further than any other similar skill in the game and does more damage as it reaches it's end.

I messed up once on this due to information that I did not have. I've shown no bias towards or against anything.


Xtorma has a point. You can't just look at one facet of a power.

The fact that you don't look beyond the numbers is a clear show of bias against the ability. There's a lot that makes something balanced, and it's not just raw power.


Ok, I figured I would level my Slayer back up to make a video. I wasn't planning on taking a video at Level 11, but I was doing so well by the midway point that I figured I would for the heck of it. The link will be in the OP but it will take a while to upload.

Just for information, max damage selected across the board, Commando V, Power Amp III. I sure hope those level 20's I was with carried me since Slash isn't OP or anything.

*Yawn* Way to stack the deck in favor of your arguments. So predictable. Your bias knows no bounds.

Yeah, my poor level 11 stacked that deck alright. It's ok though, i'm sure I got carried.

PS. Your rebuttal is weak :)

death_for_sale wrote...Smash was considered overpowered even though it does less damage, has less range, and is slower than the Slashes.


So you agree then. Smash should be buffed. Glad to hear it.

death_for_sale wrote... 
I am looking at a situation where I, as well as many others, have seen an influx of Slash users since the Smash balance change. They generally all do the same thing, which is to spam Slashes through a wall for 90% of the match. It is a technique which requires no skill because it is overpowered, just as spamming Smash pre-balance took no skill.

 

Not sure how this affects YOUR game? Why do you care if someone is spamming slash, and if you don't do it how do you know how much 'skill' it takes. You've clearly never played a Pheonix character if you believe it requires no skill to do so.

Also, since you call it a farming technique, all nerfing does is ENCOURAGE farming, because nerfing makes the game harder and co-ordinated farming makes it easier. Thus continuing to nerf things simply encourages people to farm to beat the higher levels - and soon, if this silliness continues, the only way to beat G & P levels will be to farm, unless you happen to be one of those elite players. Most of us do not fit that bill.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to use any gear or anything, nobody ever uses that. I should have skipped all damage evos and only used slash once per wave to make it more accurate. :)

Just do what you think will prove your point. I was less then gracious at the beginning , because this seemed like just another "look at me" thread, but if you are willing to work this hard at proving your point, I will honor the commitment.

No, I was using sarcasm. This is a video rebuttal to those who wanted proof that Slash is OP and perfectly campable with almost no danger to yourself.

One small error correction, I did not have Evo 5 specced in N7 Slayer passives for the video. This means I actually canceled out Commando V and 5% of the Power Amp III. Sorry for the confusion.

78 minutes to go on upload.

Diffirence between you'n me? I'm not trying to change the game via skewed data.
Further, I'm not in such a hurry that I'd post incorrect data. If you didn't have the data, you weren't thorough enough.

If I did present information to nerf, or balance something I'd be willing to listen to the detractors, and the supporters alike.

I certainly wouldn't try to screw the data, be narrow minded about my tests, only look at one facet of something as opposed to the larger picture.

Your methods are incredibly flawed, and I'm not the only one to call you on it.

Slashes take no skill...how about, this game take no "skill". All precision weapons are underwhelming and more novelty than anything. So why care OP about power spam? It's no harder than shooting an auto fire AR, a hip firing shotgun, or throwing a bunch of grenades. This game take no skill, so stop using "easy to use or requires no skill" as a barometer for balance.

BTW OP, on BS do you go F&D,det,F&D or F&D,det,Range.

With this setup any powerbase can be made to seem op. You elitist antics don't change the fact. You need to do an average joe test baseline. A majority of player you forget don't take gear.

I waited 3 days to post the data. I figured by that time someone would have pointed out flaws in the math in the balance group. I am willing to listen to the detractors if they can provide a logical argument, which so far they haven't.

The closest anyone has come to providing a logical argument is to point out that smash can go above and below the horizontal plane, that you may want to factor in combinations, and to point out class synergy.

I agreed with the first argument, but pointed out the disparity in distance, which is huge.

As far as combinations, what got smash balanced was not BE's or tech bursts, but the fact that it could be spammed through walls for huge stacking damage. Yes, you can get combos with Smash, but you can do the same with Slash.

As far as class synergy, both classes have a combo that requires good skills and tactics to use. They also have Slash, which requires neither. PA/PV have even less flexibilty, yet one skill was OP and needed to be balanced. No similar class has either a OHK combo or a charge and huge DR melee spam. The only similar class would be a Human Vanguard with Nova and as I've shown, Shockwave is nowhere close to the damage of Slash.

This is correct. Using elite gear isn't reflective of the majority of players, I'm sure. It skews results, and stacks favor in the corner of the OP.
