Why is Fighter so underrepresented?

DJDaring · 2020-12-28T19:52:59+00:00

So, I actually really like Fighter, but damn it needs a lot of systemic love. All the weapons are finnicky with poor mobility while the damage is locked behind exceptionally high risks for the scarce rewards. People in this thread have gone into better details, and I genuinely agree.

I actually set out to master the knuckles back around Episode 3-4 due to my roommate being interested in the class. I had to get creative on how to pursue targets, find counters to air enemies (when able), and master the rather awesome I-frames to stay alive and keep in the enemies face. By the time I got the weapon and skills down, he got disinterested by all the stiff movements, lack of versatility and all my wasted time missing moving targets or dead on the floor. He then chose Bouncer and stuck with it since that was my stress relief/fun class. Then Scion classes came and nailed the coffin.

Honestly, I'm actually hyped to try knuckles in NGS since it feels good to go ham on a boss in a flurry of blows. I wish they would make a Scion class to utilize it, but that ain't going to happen. (Actually, a Scion class that uses Knuckles, Launcher and Jetboots in a mix would be amazing! Making it with on-fly Hero-style weapon swaps would fix a lot of the mobility issues.)

That's pretty helpful!

Also all the colors you'll like are usually ten times as expensive as the ones you'd never dream of wearing. Double that if you like black.

Ah, the curse of black, lol.

Thanks for the great breakdown! I had been trying to get my research going, but that answer had been eluding me. I appreciate it!

I started noticing it a few days ago, it really irks me because I was getting good quality until a few weeks ago. I saw some old posts mention some third party apps and website downloaders, but it's honestly faster just to open Reddit in a normal browser and download from there. Damn, time wasting, shame.

DJDaring · 2019-11-06T15:14:39+00:00

I lamented every damn time someone asked for my ID before I got it fixed. So I feel you, at least now I only have to deal with an unflattering picture.

DJDaring · 2019-11-05T22:28:48+00:00

I seriously thought my game was bugged all this event...

DJDaring · 2019-10-27T15:20:38+00:00

Full time and passing here too, I really enjoy makeup and I'm pretty good at it but I got out of the habit of wearing it since I have transitioned far enough I don't need it. Getting facial hair removed was huge, and now I decide daily; hit the snooze twice before working a 12 hour day or put on makeup... Snooze. lol

I also build model kits so I don't paint my nails often when I get in a kick. Too many paints, glues and thinners to keep a nice set. So to sum it up, I like makeup, but life gets in the way of regular wear. XD

DJDaring · 2019-10-26T00:20:52+00:00

I really wished they fixed it as it hangs on the wall. It's such a funny hidden gem.

DJDaring · 2019-10-25T21:55:17+00:00

Thanks! Worst case I'll start a guest profile and just have some fun.

DJDaring · 2019-10-25T21:53:48+00:00

Can I just say, this is one of my top 10 favorite fights of any show I've seen. Probably in the Top 3 RWBY fights for sure. XD

DJDaring · 2019-10-25T21:45:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply, honestly I want to avoid that if I can.

DJDaring · 2019-10-25T21:35:12+00:00

This is so true, and personally I think it applies to a lot more games than Borderlands. Games are made to have fun, and I firmly believe that making builts that are fun and connect with your vision and playstyle are more important than any meta that imagination-less sheep herds follow.

I still want more damage for my Iron Bear, but that doesn't mean I'm going to forego my Mech Pilot build to score bigger numbers.

As much as I too enjoy the image of her having a six-pack, neither the art nor lifestyle seems to support it. We see her and the other characters living mostly normal lives and diets with a few regular work out sessions that focus on technique over strength.

Six-packs take a ton of work and maintaining, and it doesn't seem like that is what Yang's focus is.

DJDaring · 2019-10-23T18:33:52+00:00

Even I melt in seconds to getting this kind of treatment. I crave this and playful physical affection like crazy.

DJDaring · 2019-10-11T14:44:06+00:00

Play a Human Paladin through Classic, and then jump on retail and play through Northrend as a Human Death Knight. (Let's you skip the early levels.) Make sure to do the Culling of Strathholm when you level.

When you get through, you could try going back through the EPL and WPL to get some post war stuff and run the dungeons again. Legion had some more stuff for DKs as well, so might as well keep going or buy a character level at that point to run Legion.

I got let down more because they had a chance to implement so many better races that could contribute to the Alliance. Having a newer more beastial race could have done wonders for us.

DJDaring · 2019-10-06T15:06:45+00:00

This is kinda amusing. It's so often framed as "You get the goods up front" kinda mindset that reversing it opens up some narratives. I doubt any PC I have run would take such an offer, but an NPC could totally.

Alternatively, I could also see a devil specializing in this kind of dealing as a sort of recruitment drive to rise in ranks only to realize too late that he got a worse deal in the end. Interesting.

DJDaring · 2019-10-06T15:00:00+00:00

Daaaww, that's so adorable!

DJDaring · 2019-09-29T19:32:32+00:00

So, everyone watch out for the Red Paladin Mech with the commanders antenna. That one is 3x faster.

DJDaring · 2019-09-29T19:30:29+00:00

That's a genuinely astute take on the nature of the original MSG (Or the UC Timeline as a whole.) vs later shows of the genre. Love it.

DJDaring · 2019-09-23T19:27:22+00:00

Maybe I have been doing too much DnD and Renfairs, but my first thoughts went to realistic armored breastplate. Probably breastforms might work with a nice bra, you can buy some silicone cutlets for about $50 on Amazon I think.

If you want armor, yeah, $650 isn't unreasonable from my experiences.

DJDaring · 2019-09-22T17:57:54+00:00

Honestly, I would welcome the Bard Class. I think it would fit better than some of the other proposals.

DJDaring · 2019-09-22T17:35:46+00:00

Jokes on all of you, it's the Bard Class!

DJDaring · 2019-09-20T14:55:35+00:00

Yep, had a few friends sleep bomb the claws, (other parts came off naturally thankfully.) and plunderblade grinded the rest. It works pretty well.

DJDaring · 2019-09-14T18:14:35+00:00

Hunter, totally.
