Thermo nerf

Except at that higher skill level its still only reaching where the other one does with less effort.

42

absolutely not, size aids people with poor aim but if you can aim well speed is much better. given how the people who can aim likely have the skill to maintain heat, that makes thermo a much better option than sailor

Remove Thermo DoT, increase base damage.
A style based around hitting a lot doesn’t need an aid for when you can’t hit people.

Magics already have lost all of their identity and fighting styles are the next on the chopping block.

You should ping

Uhhh pilles I guess since they aren’t a mod (or dm them)

48

Wait hold on I can imagine the counter argument now

“We are doing that, thermo is a style focused on low damage with high speed”

While completely ignoring thermos ACTUAL downside, being low size

ya, low size, mhm, only if there was this thing called aiming, thermo is unbalance, that a fact

Yes, but clearly damage nerfs don’t solve that

51

Also just because a gimmick is bad, being the whole source of the issue here, doesn’t mean it’s not the gimmick

52

thermo is a dps machine, it shouldnt deal as much dmg as it deals, imagine if light, like any light class, would deal 230 dmg as their normal damage per attack, on top of that, make it easy to do combos

53

Yes, but they’ve always nerfed damage, and supposedly thermos been perpetually op

54

I think thermo would fit the niche of “high damage, extremely hard to hit” quite nicely, just make it so that heat increases when you HIT opponents instead of just when you do moves

55

that the exact problem most FS have, heavy hiters, i would say the ones that deal the most dmg already are somewhat easy to land, atleast easier than the rest of their moveset, a class with 2.2K hp without focuse, shouldnt deal 250 dmg as his weakest dmg, in thermo case, sure maybe they deal like 220 dmg, but that doesnt make it better when they can chain attacks on u extremely fas

56

pretty sure basic was meant to deal more damage than most fighting styles

57

the issue of this is that once the dedicated people get really cracked, they’re literally unbeatable unless you use it as well, which is when pvp gets even less fun and even harder to get into.

Parrying:

Also true, but like, that’s true for basically every other thing in the game

59

yeah but everything except for like piercing shot (which already suffers a bit from this issue) is balanced around everything else, so the issue doesn’t arise

Well I still think if they wanna nerf it, they should do so to the dot
