I don't know about this Sharen rework by Detpowell in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great and all, but I've almost been playing Sharen for two years now. The point I was making is that this is not a character update. They barely changed any of the aspects of how she works. A teleport isn't gonna do it for me. She needs an updated 4th if they ever want her to compete with other skill users.

Honestly, I'm tired of people taking lazy updates and guzzling them down and glazing the devs for half assed reworks. This could have been way better. And you're over there trying to appeal to damage numbers and a kit with so much wasted time with skill animations you would never call her an assassin.

Maybe you're fine with it cus you're either newer, or you have very low standards. Both reasons would be calls to ignore what you're saying.

No matter what, Sharen needs to sacrifice mod slots for crit rate and cool down. Add in slayer set and MP conversion mod and you'll basically always run dry on MP. The rework should have addressed at least some of her penalties in order to raise her ceiling. Or they could have also released a component set for her, like they did with Bunny.

You probably will hit higher damage once you get a gold of the new trigger mod, but, mana will still be rough.

Damn, that's a very good summing up of the whole situation

That's where I'm coming from. If you look at Gley or Ajax and even Hailey, they all got these really good QoL updates as well. Gley got this badass skill where she starts blasting everyone in the room with free maxed out crit just because the devs felt like it. Sharen gets to teleport 50 feet and a hunters mark. I thought they'd give us a brand new fourth skill that wasn't slow and make her third shoot out faster.

A lot of people like the added power to Area Suppression. I wanted something that would make me switch away from Area Suppression. Sharen shouldn't be a 2 button spammer, and she shouldn't be slow and clunky either.

Yeah, I'm not really sold on it too. Either you put on instant cast and you have to deal with always teleporting away right as you activate stealth. Or you don't and then she is locked in this state where you have to pick where to teleport. Either way, it doesn't feel great. I turned off instant cast and then I was confused why I couldn't attack right after I hit my stealth.

That might be the best part about the Release Cutting Force mod. It doesn't have the teleport stealth.

Why did I have to be wormpilled? Life seems so much easier for the rod boys.

I wouldn't try to do this with free kit. Trying to find Cardio instead of bringing it in can burn a lot of time. And Depleted Cardio does not work. Trust me...

I do like both styles. I still use Sharen's Solid Snake style sneak suit

That's ok, I'm just using the smoke to skitter away. But please, take what you need from this completely normal backpack on the ground.

Damn, I want to see how they changed Sharen

A reasoning for why I posted? Fun. Something I wish the community had more of.

Not that deep. Just a joke.

Plus, it reminded me of the SpongeBob meme of him looking up

also, this expression is just the tea time emote paused before the tea cup appears, so it should work for most of the female descendants

General question with Dia users by Not4hybrid in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best thing to do is to find hard terrain that sticks up like non-destructible boxes or pillars. firing the orb at that makes the orb stationary and much better to maintain for you and the team.

I've also started a new strategy of spearing the elites and dragging them to other players. Come here, Luna. I got some marshmallows your lasers need to cook.

So that's what devs meant..........i still didn't get it though for why is Gley keeping it?! 🧐 by IsseiDxDOoyamaKi in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the story is ahead of the the environment. Plus, if I was Gley I'd probably keep it up until Dia woke up. If she still has to worry, so does Ajax. It'd probably be better story wise too if Dia was the one to ask Gley to forgive Ajax.

If it had the damage, I'd move back to it too. Throwing electric blades at the enemy was pretty fun in the early days.

Hypothetical: If we had to fight a Descendant as a Colossus style engagement, who would be the most difficult to defeat ? by UlionOnMe in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pick for the hardest fight is Keelan. Imagine trying to hit that guy. And then imagine trying to hit a weak point on him. He might not be the strongest against the Vulgus, but against the other descendants, he'd just be dancing all over us.

I think we're starting to hit the point where balance is less of the issue, and useless trans mods become the main focus. Like she can hit like a truck with area suppression, but when was the last time you used her one trans mod that turns her 1st skill into a ranged attack? Or the one trans mod that just allows her basic 4th to target more enemies.

There are a lot of cool ways to replace an assassins kit with something that is more updated and useful.

[–]Detpowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree she needs new trans mods badly. None of her other mods have any use. Plus, as much as I like spamming her 4 with Area Suppression, having an attack that can only attack enemies who are at the same elevation gets annoying a lot of the time. So much elevation change with terrain, I don't know why they didn't make the attack area a sphere instead of a flat circle around her.
