    Red builds

    Imagine the rage and tears these m1a crutch using red builds would spill if red builds were not the best build in the game, they would threaten to leave the game and flood the forums ( i.e. m1a 40% nerf revert) LMAO of course ubisoft devs would never let that happen to their precious red build, so start nerfing yellow builds so we will fall in line due to them being unviable. Seeing my striker drone being completely stupid and not performing well or as it once did, same with the turret, it seems the " improvements " the devs last pass only made these skills worst and seeing there is no mention on looking into improving mechanical function of these skills, it's safe to say the devs don't play their own game and are completely incompetent at developing anything other than a bowel movement

    Not quite sure how that was your takeaway from the post, but NM.

    I have lots of builds -- a couple of reds (one PGC, one Unbreakable), a couple of blues (aggro tank and support tank), a few yellows (healer, damage, CC, and one just for Black Tusk), and some hybrids -- but the yellows have always been the ugly step child; they're the the most broken due to bugs (HW has never worked right, Fireflies are erratic at best, etc.), CC is in danger of becoming extinct, etc, and for those of us who want to have a wide set of tools available it's annoying that all the focus seems to be on reds because the people who only play reds get their panties in a bunch.

    Nothing wrong with the striker drone and assault turret, completed my first solo legendary with these two in a skill build.

    Yes the drone is sometimes a pain inside buildings, but generally they work very well.

    Maybe because you spend a lot of time insulting Red Build people instead of just stating your case about why skill builds shouldn't be nerfed as hard. Red Build cry wah wah wah, but then your skill build isn't awesome and you do what? Go to the forums and WAH WAH WAH about Red builds.

    Make a powerful convincing case on why your build deserves attention\reconsideration and spend less time complaining about other players choices

    That'll probably get nerfed quick enough once the complaints come in.

    It'll be the seeker scenario all over again.

    Congrats on your solo legendary, I'm sure it took you at least an hour and a half to beat if not more, the striker drone does a short burst then delay then short burst, it constantly comes back to the user even if there are multiple targets in the area, before the last patch it was working better but after devs made " improvements " it became worst, a person who has always used skill builds would probably agree, the turret is clunky, same problem, short burst then delay, short burst then delay, sometimes with the turret and drone they just become frozen and won't fire, I never had that problem before the
    " improvements " so now look at a red build with m1a it can spit out 12 million damage in a second, a min maxxed skill build with you, the turret, and drone all shooting the same target can do 5 mil per second if you have all talents active

    The fix - actually improve drone and turret target acquisition, constantly finding new targets, lengthen the short burst of fire with decreased delay, allow us to pick up the turret like the hive, increase base damage of skills by 15%, without these changes, skill builds will never be close to a red build nor be viable in content like the raids, with all the power red builds have I don't see why they would cry about a skill builds power or lack there of.

    As for the red build commandos posting to this saying " yOu DoN't LiKe ReD bUiLdS " I have multiple red builds but I prefer yellow because red builds are boring and too many crutch on the mA1 but the main point is that red builds are 100% stronger than a min maxed skill build, that's not balanced and I have named the reasons why they are not as strong and possible fixes to improve
