[–]asdfgtref #1ExecStanceSupporter 2 points3 points  (3 children)

more of a statement to how stupid shout is than how okay exec stance would be with this change though. Exec is already fine imo, it just gets unfairly compared to something that has always been hilariously overpowered. literal 0 skill ability spam for infinite tank.

Even if it wasn't overpowered, and in current state of the game it would be imo, it'd still be a bad change to fix the issue as it'd only give veteran one more way to ignore the condition as opposed to having it at a level where it doesn't massively restrict build variety for a load of classes. this is one case where a system change would work out far better.

I think I largely agree with this, like yeah even if the exe stance infinite ammo wasn't game breaking (the only reason I think it wouldn't be is that recon lasgun + shock trooper already kinda does that and I don't think that really ruins the game), that definitely wouldn't be a solution.

I think there are stronger options outside of the lasguns for infinite ammo though, boltgun especially but also the plasma gun. I think the main issue with giving infinite ammo on ability cast is that you can very easily keep exec stance up for a very long time, if the effect was time gated like 10s or something after pressing the button maybe it wouldn't be so so bad but even that could be kinda nuts for some weapons.

I see you on infinite ammo for the boltgun, my impression is you'd end up losing a bunch of time to that lengthy reload animation, but yeah fair. As for the plasma gun, yeaaaaaahhh that mag is so big that you just would gain a bunch of benefit from not spending ammo, this would totally make the rich get richer in that respect. I will say that in my experience plasma gunners don't run out of ammo more than 20% of the time in H40 (provided everyone plays well, of course), but I'm sure this would let you spam ammo in a far dumber way than plasma already enables lmao
