As it wasn’t possible to convert the combat skill evaluation and the class orientations par for par, it is possible to discuss the pro and contra for each class. How strong or weak is my class after the balancing changes? Are their characteristics as developed as announced or as they should be? Did the balancing really make Neocron fairer?
We’d like answers to those questions to be able to perform possible fine-tunings. We’d like to focus on discussion here – please report bugs here (http://forum.neocron.com/forumdisplay.php?f=191)!
Balancing Aspects (APU):
- Very strong damage generation
- Bad resistances
- Medium range
Balancing Aspects (PPU):
- No damage generation (Exception: Soulcluster – PvE)
- Exceptional resistances
- Short to medium range
Fundamental changes:
Special case:
Increasing „Resist PSI (PSR)“ – especially for other classes – decreases the strength of manipulations by PSI modules – this applies both to aggressive (APU) and passive (PPU) PSI modules.
Subskills:
- Resist PSI (PSR) – Psychic Power
- Focussing (FCS) – Psychic Power, replaces Mental Steadiness (MST)
Orientation as APU:
- Aiming process for aggressive PSI weapons
- No aiming prevents a cast, poor aiming leads to reduced damage
- Line of Sight
- Limitation to damage generating modules
Orientation as PPU:
- Support: Protection of friends (i.e. shields), removing disadvantages (i.e. stuns)
- AntiSupport: Applying disadvantages to enemies (i.e. damage boost)
Missing Features: None
Known Bugs:
- Soulcluster do not have a shot effect
