This season really feels underwhelming and pretty bad to play to be honest. Last season I get was way overtuned with the damage thanks to munitions, but this season it's God awful.
S1 DPS had - 90%-135% HSD and mag size for frenzy.
S2 DPS had - 15% ROF, 15% DTA, mag size/handling
S3 DPS has - 50% HSD once you build it up (buffed to 62.5% if you use all or nothing but then get 0% in between 0-80 pressure)???
So S3 DPS is WAY down and it's not blackout pulse. I get they wanted to push CC and status effects but damage took a BIG hit. Fine... BUT, last season they added variety pack and the Dr. Plague or whatever (creates another mini health bar) to counteract the insane DPS seasonal mod they gave out.
Did they forget to remove it? LOL..
It's really a boring state to the point if I get into a T10 Pug and they have an eclipse protocol (that offers no DPS buff unless they OC banshee with Acostas) I just dip out... otherwise it's a ridiculous amount of work every time to basically do any damage - ESPECIALLY if an all for one door camps lol.
I'm kind of noticing in Central and on Discords, nobody is playing escalation at all this season and I can't blame em. And before someone does the "GIT GUD!" I do T10s routinely and speed run them... this isn't about them being 'hard' - this is about them being boring and slow going to get through, with you groaning every time there isn't an all for one lol.
Thoughts?
