So in other words, you need 100m dps to break its regen. Let alone finding one that has a regen aug. And if theres a player that manages it, and not report, Ban hammer crashes down. Fuzz ships don't have any soaks, or 99.99% resists, and I don't think they have 100k RPS shields (Adum's isn't that high, it's on the wiki). Quote: So, to balance this. Trans Power/Eff won't affect Vampire Per Second(VPS). Damage and Resist would, like a normal self damaging weapon. But it drains your target's shields to a minimum of 1(cannot actually kill target with Vampire), if you break its regen. You also cannot heal very well, because you use DPS augs instead of HPS augs like a normal monkey. So in the end, you're a hybrid of a shm and a regular dps class, like a Zerk. Zerks have sucky healing and regen capability. Transference Power is just +damage but for only transference damage. Transference efficiency I think would work against you in such a situation. Transference resistance would work against you for this too. anilv wrote: Could use to kill Fuzz ships. We can give AI like that Atlum Blockers, not sure if the block stopping you from healing AI just takes into account damage type or just the amount of damage you'd do. I might make one (locally) to see what it's like. _________________ "What you mean you killed him cha cha cha?!" Support |

Almost noone (other than level 3ks that heal level 500s in MF reaver DGs) plays ShM main, it's a class that's made after you already have another endgame char. It has a clear and useful role, and is more important than any other class for group content. It doesn't need more offensive power, their slaves can already be quite impressive. So FC's get their cake and can eat it too and that's how it should stay? If you want to kill stuff with slaves, you go FC. If you want to heal, you go ShM. Just because ShM gets a bonus to slaves doesn't mean the two classes should be comparable. _________________ Dorin Nube wrote: Nipples aren't the only danger here. |

Biggee is referring to the fact theres a number of FC's that don't use slaves, but the radx bonus, and level up/pvp/dg just fine.
A shm without slaves without a zerk/sniper/gunner is 99% a dead shm in a combat scene. _________________ Salt Assault drew this conclusion from the latest devblog. [img]http://oi62.tinypic.com/33208ex.jpg[/img] |

A shm without slaves without a zerk/sniper/gunner is 99% a dead shm in a combat scene. What possible reason could you have for not using slaves as FC? Even though FC gets a +200% rad damage bonus, pretty much every combat class gets more than +200% damage overall from class skills, which would also apply to rad. Even if, for whatever reason, you wanted a rad damage-centric FC, it would make no sense at all to let your slave slots go to waste. _________________ Dorin Nube wrote: Nipples aren't the only danger here. |

It don't work, some code changes are going to be needed before any of these kinds of weapons can be added.
I'm not so sure if it's such a good idea though, because of what it is. =/ _________________ "What you mean you killed him cha cha cha?!" Support |

Therefore efficiency (etc) would not hinder your efforts. _________________ Space for rent! |

Trans resist and trans efficiency both reduce the amount of self damage you take by a percent, even if that self damage were negative.

There's also an admin weapon that's positive trans damage, I've seen it used in colo. Xanthic, maybe? _________________ Dorin Nube wrote: Nipples aren't the only danger here. |
