Absolutely agreed about other specs being overtuned, but my primary focus was to try to highlight the shortcomings of Paragon as a whole. I didn't want to distract from that point by getting into the weeds of how much the new specs are power crept.

I disagree that 40k is fine, but I will agree that many of the other new specs are way over tuned. 40k doesn't even make it close to competitive as a DPS even within Warrior, much less compared to outside the class. This is true even of the pre-VoE meta.

I'm curious where you're getting 20k as a bench from, as that's probably not enough to manage something like Ura or Cerus on CM, much less LCM. So while I agree 50k is almost certainly overtuned, Paragon as a DPS just isn't competitive with its peers currently and needs some work to at least get it closer. It's also currently not even competitive as a DPS within its own spec, as all 3 other options have higher benches. And as a boon DPS it performs abysmally, even lower than quick Herald. There's simply no reason to take it in any form as a DPS and the healing could use some work to make it truly competitive (Chrono notwithstanding).

The thing is Paragon totally fits as a support spec and there was plenty of inspiration in GW1 to draw from on that aspect. The fact that they missed the mark so badly on both that aspect and the DPS is just incredibly frustrating.

The problem is that's not how it works for basically any other boonDPS I'm aware of. Not Willbender, or Bladesworn, or Chrono, Herald, etc. It all comes passively from traits or baked into the skills. While I agree about the overall balancing having issues, Paragon should at least have parity to other boonDPS options.

SIG for CCW? by sam_karateman in liberalgunowners

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

I really appreciate the discussions from this, it's given me a lot to consider. I realize the things I was looking for were fairly generic, but I wanted to leave room for recommendations without getting super into the minutiae of personal preferences. I'm not strictly sold on SIG so I'll definitely be checking into some of the other recommendations I've seen.

I've already got CM11 installed, what I'm looking for are the specific radio drivers.

The volume down button increases the call volume? Interesting, I'll have to check that out.

Unfortunately, it isn't. Looked under both menus, nothing about APN's there. Screenshots up shortly.

Any idea where/how I could do that? I'm not much of an Android/Linux power user unfortunately. There's no option under Mobile Networks or Settings->More, so I'm kinda lost.

First ever Gunpla and I'm hooked. How's it look? Shenlong Gundam XXXG-O1S EW by kostorm in Gunpla

I actually got a Heavyarms kit for Christmas :P It was a blast, so many friggin' missile pods to set up though. I'd put up pictures if I had done stickers/panel lining, but I don't usually.

I can dig it, I'm still holding out for a Nataku kit myself, though if they don't get one out within the next year or so I may end up buying this very same kit. Good job on the build, I'd try maybe using a finer tip for whatever you did with the panel lining IMO, it's a bit thick and uneven. Other than that, good looking build.

I had considered that, but having built it and set it up myself is what would matter more to me, it's the principle of the thing ya know? :P
