ShM are not tanks, they can't take damage well, they can just dish out a ton of heal efficiently.

The things that Buff allies are Aura Generators. The thing that attracts AI attention is high hostility, and keeping themselves alive means +resists. Do Shield Monkey skills even mention these things, battler? No. Fleet Commander mentions AG's, so they are the Buffers. Berserker mentions +hostility, so they are the Tankers, and keeping themselves alive, Berserker mentions +resists. Please could you get your facts straight before messing up the classes. _________________ Salt Assault drew this conclusion from the latest devblog. [img]http://oi62.tinypic.com/33208ex.jpg[/img] |

Why should a ShM be a tank? It should require actual skill to keep yourself alive in PvP, not merely a massive shield bank / regen.

@ battler, You're saying they need MORE shields for shmk? Wtf, you have 0 PvP experience so stay out of this conversation.
If you nerfed the heat, laser, and energy resist to 15% on a app ward, and made it so there was a way to keep a shmk from just logging when they are shot at (I suggested that you can tractor them after they log, and would boost the 90 sec rule to a 5 min rule and they would also dissapear after dieng...) Then I and everyone else who PvPs would be so happy... _________________ All I do is win win win!!! |

Because i know how to make shm die fast. Or ill just get o lets say a rhino that has MASSIVE resist _________________ Stay strong, live long, and walk humbly. |

Two hours couldn't find any ai. radar augs dont stack anymore.... also radar augs suck since they were nerfed a long time ago. try being a seer yourself in a high tech ship with lots of adv patrol augs. patrol augs didnt get the same nerf that radar augs got. even with a nice setup like that they still are only visible from a few hundred away, and the smaller ones only when they pass over you. _________________ My User Page Join SS! |

Finally found an ai in the dark yesterday, killed it, no commod. Waited hours, no respawn. Today found a single ai, killed it, no commod. So the dark isn't completely broken, the ai do exist. Wasn't because i couldn't see them before, it is because there was no ai to be seen.

Wasn't because i couldn't see them before, it is because there was no ai to be seen. what happens is that one will spawn with a few hestias, happens every so often, and you can see them without any radar augs. what you arent seeing is the 10 or so other ai in there. _________________ My User Page Join SS! |

Basically the Dark is now broken and the admins know about it. We just have to wait more or less patiently for them to fix it.

Radar 20 was a big pain in the ass before the rebalance.. it needs a complete rework imo. It's just plain boring annoying kill and wait for spawn bullshit. Especially considering the drop rate is less than 50%. Please make the mission to Kill 5 darker holes instead of turning in 5 commods.. this would be a major improvment..
Starbawk has had Radar 19 for 3 or 4 unis, and 3 Radar 20 commods for the last 2.5 unis. All this from a combined total of about 50 hours randomly farming the dark with my 4 adv exc patrol shrimp on a seer with maxed skills. That's like.. 2-3bil in augs, ship, tweaks and such for the least valuable T20 skill.. WHY????? |

We got it for three characters in one day.. it was fine. It's not supposed to be an easy skill to get. Just make it possible to more or less do it as it was done before the rebalance and it's all good.
