Honestly, I think I am ok with this change, as long as they nerf the turret. At that point, this game will just be a shooter, which I feel the vast majority of us have been calling for. Right now the only skill left worth a damn is the turret. LS is going to be 12 turrets setting each other on fire.
No idea. I really don't like it. Makes the set pretty pointless.Originally Posted by VeilOfGreed Go to original post
If they had at least changed the health on shield to increased defense against Elite at some worthwhile %, it would at least be somewhat useful.
But damage to elites? You can get that on random HE gear. (Or has that been removed, hard to keep track of what they keep changing)
This has majorly pi**ed me off.
The whole purpose of the set is to be a defence set, the tank of you will. It's meant to take punishment. But they needed it to satisfy whiney PVP players who don't have the skill to out manoeuvre it. So they nerfed it for everyone and now it's basically useless as a tank skill. Set 3 can be achieved with as stay roll, it adds no benefit.
This is why the player base is falling because of stupid knee jerk decisions like this.
It's been fine for how long??? But they screw it up with a single Ill thought out change.
It's pretty useless now. Especially in PVE.

I tried my build this morning when i went to get my supply drop. It already hit the elites fairly hard in 1.6... what i did notice and did not like at all was popping booster or med kit did not replenish the health of the shield. or at least not a noticeable amount. i haven't tested it more than that tho bc i had to leave for work.
Ok, so I tried it just now and the shield goes down so quickly. It's also pretty useless in legendary missions because the NPCs are not all elites and they can just punch through it in 3 hits.
What an utter balls up; they also have not fixed the bugs where you shoot the shield with an SMG. Nor have they fixed the issue where if you change to another weapon when in cover, it doesn't retain that weapon choice the next time you return to cover.
Your shield will NEVER be as tanky as it needs to be for legendary missions, the set has no benefit or appeal now.
This whole 1.7 update is purely to satisfy the PVP and make money at the sacrifice of the positive aspects of the game. Does nothing to reward those who grind or those who spend hours tweaking and fine tuning gear, for it only to be nerfed for PVE. they already upped the damage taken by 20% for the whiners and then they kill it for PVE.
I challenge the devs to explain that one, or to explain the point of the gear set now.
Fed up of this game now, 1.6.1 barely kept me interested, all this vanity crap, bad nerfing decisions for the whiney console PVP crowd and no real content has just put me off.
Never have I ever gone online and ranted before but this is just plain sh*te!![]()
