The PBF isn't made for tanking. It seems to me now that it's meant for balanced fighting or a full on glass cannon build.

Regardless, my point still stands. Plus, some enemies cannot be dodged. I already could not take on a level of MF reavers solo, so there's not a chance that I'll be able to do it now.

Again, not happy. Especially since there wasn't a stated reason for the change, when it functioned perfectly well before.

Take advantage of the new GMast and AoG changes. With the changes, my PBF will be able to do nice DPS and have the same range as a Sniper before augmenters while going over 200 speed.

This change is neither a beef or a nerf, unless your PBF is already augged for tanking.

Getting crits chance doesn't matter too much in PvAI because some AI, especially ubers, have high or complete crit hit resistance.


Unless you are solo DPSIng Primal Lion, Olympus ubers, or Infernal Darkness bosses, I don't think you need to worry about having your crit chance eroded by critical hit resistance.

I'm still trying to figure out if this so called "buff" is actually a nerf in disguise. I think it is... I know just give it an extra aug slot! :D

I don't get why no one else is happy with this.

Because people finally got what they wanted, a heavy fighter, capship crossbreed. :P

But seriously this changes PBF a fair bit and without warning to people, would've been better to make a whole new ship with these stats.

Yeah, it essentially changes the ship entirely. Plus, they never asked if it would be a good idea, or even gave a reason for the change. If they'd at least give a rational argument...

Usually I DG while using my Cap Travel Field with my dread which can already take a decent amount of shots, so now instead I will have double the shields and elec, the same resists, and 50 more speed than before.


And this is the dirty little secret of some gunner builds, which I was aware of.

Since you said "...a +15% speed buff" I assume you're AoG, something, something ~ one of those will have to be hull, so a H+ or Hib there, leaving you with ~ perhaps a PtE or Alby if defensive, or a D/A-rage / Z+ if you're offensive. If you've augged a PBF with x3 resist, you're still worse off than a Dread augged for resists.

As stated, the ship was never supposed to be a tank: nor was it supposed to be that useful to classes other than Fleet.

~ The speed bonuses on the Gunner class augs will need tweaking, most likely (read nerf); as ever, the issue is balancing the class between 2 and 3 aug hulls. If necessary (and I really do mean if) there will be a one time only class locked aug reset mission in Ordnance command. And yes, I'm aware that the class is so weak that it's class augs buff every major combat stat, and it's still not soloing any ubers this side of the tier 1.5's.



For Easter: I assume we're hand editing it in ~ Blue Dwarf will have more details.
