    The AlphaBridge Nerf: No free talents.

    AlphaBridge should retain its 4pc talent as is, but the free slot will no longer be free on either weapon. Uncomplicated will cost similar/same requirements as competent.

    Will this even the playing field? That's 25% dmg lost from competent and uncomplicated in an alpha DPS build.

    This way uncomplicated will not have to be changed and the FAMAS will benefit from it as it was intended.

    Discuss.

    That and fix Uncomplicated itself. Should be 7.5 % instead and also halve the values stability/accuracy mods subtract from it (and buff Famas base damage to compensate).

    AB is doing extactly what ita suppose to do...it's a DPS gear set.

    The real problem is combining AB with the broken Armor/damage mitigation.

    You can have a DPS gear set, still invest in firearms, and still get over 400k toughness. Even higher when combined with Barrets chest, booster shot, On the move talent, etc

    I would nerf AB by making the 4 piece talent: Deceasing Damage mitigation by 5% for every EXTRA weapon talent active. So up to 15% increased damage taken.

    Kinda like the Reckless talent.

    Or we could just buff the other sets their values...

    Idk if it wasn't for uncomplicated I wouldn't run Alpha anyways. Armor damage? What's to stop me from running Predator's Mark with Destructive?

    If it gets nerfed I just switch back to 3 Piece Pred / 3 Piece Sentry or Striker for damage output (I've been using AR's since release though, but I feel forced to run AB due to Uncomplicated).

    Dude sit down and learn something.

    Reckless is 10% damage taken for only 8% damage increase.

    Im talking about 15% (5% more) for up to 40% or more damage (Uncomplicated, Unforgiving, and some other damage talent of your choice.)

    It wont kill the set but it does need a nerf.

    It would completely kill the set.
    Predator can already beat any AB build in 1v1 if player has at least some skill.

    With that extra 15% dmg nobody would run AB over predators or seeker/turrent build.

    OP's idea thou sounded really good IMO.
    If that nerf sounded too hard maybe then having the requirements on your non-active gun but not on the active one.

    Thats like saying Firecrest, D3, Predators mark, Strikers, are a solo sets. Its a selfish set. Any set that adds DPS is valuable to a group.

    Nomad on the other hand is a solo set...it doesnt add increased DPS, defense, or utility to a team and its bonuses only are useful to the person wearing it.
