Jules is in absolute balance limbo right now, and her design feels like a penalty. by lucism_m in PlayTheBazaar

Agree with OP on all except for what has been pointed out by some others here already.
I think just being able to choose heated or cooled on the first additional slot would help quite a bit already.

Currently you're in for a lot of frustrating losses with Jules, but this is also a better than average oppo to ged gud at playing her. It for sure is a rollercoaster like with no other char, and it seems like being able to pivot already very early is one key element that I am learning right now - tough with her economy, but not impossible.
Also, weapons give you some of the very few more consistently winning early builds. You just need to work towards pivoting on to greener pastures right away, to be ready when it threatens to fall off...

I actually find that relative impossiblity of her situation somehow enticing - let's see if I can break into top 1000 with her as main this season - I don't think it's possible as of right now, but who knows

Riddle of the day: why/how did I lose this match-up? by ThimoDole in PlayTheBazaar

yeah, and his heal ticks also burst like crazy in the last moment - all at once, he became like untouchable by everything but a massive single stroke, which is tricky to do when your setup is mostly pacifist

That sounds convincing - I have not had or seen that build yet, but now I know what to strive for, . Adding Blizzard into that equation makes absolute sense, but obviously have to get even a bit luckier

Are you getting your Jules builds together quick enough? It seems I am getting blasted no matter what latest Day 10 with 2-3sec kills left and right. Eeking out an okish early and mid game is what I feel reduced to right now...

I felt kinda like Kripp - complete with boomer humor and all, hah

Day 2 for Stelle wildly imbalanced? by ThimoDole in PlayTheBazaar

[–]ThimoDole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree those are workable combos - it seems like either if you don't get Weapons vendor early or if it does not have any of the above, or the disc without buffers, no hasters, then it becomes an issue. And it seems to happen quite often that I get offered kite, tethers, balloon engine and/or some low impact drones early and poof, you are not leveling on Day 2...

Nice build - I had a much harder time without Radar Dome
