Looks good for a little ultra-violence. Very Horror-show, oh brother.
I had some Lancelots, but I thought what you thought; for their power-score, they are disappointing. The Boom-sticks actually work better relative to their Power-score. Sledge hammers used to be like that too, but I’m not sure how they are sitting lately. I stopped using shotguns altogether for a while, but I built one for dailies the other day.
I know you suggest avoiding dailies, as it’s impractical or not profitable, but I like the routine, and the game seems more user-friendly to me when I run a rotation of play-styles and game modes, and don’t grind on the same build for too long.
My MO is to set up my blue-prints in a way that I can just start at the top and go down a list of six builds, with each build arranged for different play-styles, or game modes. I might deploy some builds two or three times before I go to the next build if I’m into it, but I do try to stay away from repetitively playing the same style for long. The Dailies compliment that agenda well, and offer resource bonuses and badges that help make my routine a little more practical and profitable…and they help let me know when it’s time move on.
I have twelve blueprint slots, and I use the other six for clown-cars and build experiments.
Exactly.
I wish the Lancelots hadn’t gotten nerfed. They really don’t work in their peer-group anymore, and they are hella-expensive for that level of dysfunction, I think. I’m not sure why they decided to nerf them. I know people hate them because there is no real counter, and they often scare the hell out of me when they come from out of nowhere. It does suck to get cancelled by them right at the beginning of a match (I get it), but they have rather profound limitations that I thought justified their strength. I think their nerf was just a hate crime, and was unreasonable.
On Topic:
I’m still lovin’ my Thug. It’s my EZ raider, and copper scrapper. When I feel like a simple relaxing arcade game, Easy Raids is where I find that. I actually get a very good gas to reward ratio with that thing, and usually come out on top in a very casual way.
