How about nerfing defenses instead of adding back the damage that **finally** got shaved off?

If Bunker is the problem, nerf bunker.

It's high time to revert **all** powercreep.

Nerfing the defenses is ok if done with proper moderation but if you go too far you goof the whole point of having defensive options entirely.

If nerfing it to the point no one bothers to take them because they are not effective when slotted then thats bad balancing. When offense pressure works as a better defense than investing in defensive skills or traits or stats then thats is bad balancing. (Thats where we were last patch)

 

Bunker builds are not exactly a bad thing it should be a viable role to play just as support or dps is to an extent and there is nothing wrong with a player wanting to hold a point with a bunker build in 5v5 game match just like there is nothing wrong with someone wanting to play support.

 

At some point the damage is going to come back thats just bound to happen and then you have nerfed defenses even more and added damage again effectively putting us in the same meta we were in be it over a slow but long period of time. This is what happened from HoT to PoF.

 

They are already considering adding damage back to some cc skills and reworking others entirely to lose their cc for full damage.

 

To be hoenst something is always going to be the problem nerf bunker, condi is a problem nerf condi, then power is the issue nerf power now bunkers are back for round 2.

We are currently in the round 2 of bunker btw.
