| Post subject: | Art of Fast Killing |
The aug has been improved a lot and now has lots of interesting applications. The stats it ended up with were based on the ones I suggested, which I took as a combination of a nerfed Alby and a few other SD-like stats. I realized recently that I forgot to put in the +20% tracking that it would inherit from the Alby. Since I recall Voom saying that a bonus like that doesn't make much difference to the balance sheets, I was wondering whether some tracking could be added to the aug. Following the pattern I used it would be +20%, but if that's too unbalanced then a smaller amount could work too. I'm primarily suggesting this because I noticed there aren't a lot of augs for SD that give tracking. Apart from SD Mast, Alby, and the Sup Combis (which are essentially an inferior version of SD Mast). Since some weapons kind of need a bit of tracking boost to work best, it would be nice to open up setups that don't rely on those three augs for that. |

agreed also add hera+ in there for a tracking aug. |

It's still pretty good without the tracking imo. |

The whole point of it was supposed to be a nerfed Alby with some SD stats (I should know, I'm the one who suggested the stats that it currently has) and it was simply an oversight that I didn't include tracking at the time. In retrospect, that was a mistake considering how few augs give tracking for endgame SD and how many T21 augs now actually reduce tracking (War Chant of Ares, Cyclops, perhaps others). |

What about more augs? To me, the AoFK is fine. But it'd be awesome if there were MORE augs, with tracking bonuses included. PS: Conclusion aug is a very fun aug for SD. |

this needs to be done, maybe drop shields a bit, that 40% is TOO effective. |

If you add something new to the aug, something else will need to be removed to balance it. If you remove something from the aug, you will cause a shitstorm. It's good enough already, no need to go and mess with the setups of everyone who uses it as it currently is. |

It's good enough already, no need to go and mess with the setups of everyone who uses it as it currently is. Not necessarily. When I was working with Voom to fix SD Mast, he put down some suggested stats and I asked that the 5% tracking be boosted to 15%. He said sure, remarking that it didn't make much difference to the balance sheets. I made this thread to ask whether some tracking can be added to AoFK in the same way, and I've given the rationale for the change. |

But that'd make my CaP, 2 AoFK, Mast setup OP with a 3shot! |

adding tracking tot he aug would make it broken. It's fine as it is. |
