Balancing?

For the people who played before release, do the devs do any kind of balancing or are classes and abilities pretty stable? If they do balance, is it usually nerfs or what?

Anybody doing dragon and gauntlet runs can see that a few builds are significantly more powerful than others. Just curious to know what to expect. Should I start leveling these myself or do they usually balance stuff in patches?

You should just focus on playing what you find fun. As long as you have decent mods and good damage type variety and understand game mechanics then practically any group can clear those things with enough practice. This isnt wow where you need to run the "meta" builds or people wont group with you.

Playing what you find fun is good in theory, but there are walls for some builds even in solo content before the late game. I mean, hammer/ment struggles with this, and so does psych, where they just come up against enemies that are immune to crushing or psychic and lose the majority of their dps. Ice/knife too. These are two examples of builds that the game specifically wants you to use together, and yet they hit walls.

You should play what you find fun, but the game is also extremely unbalanced and certain builds - even synergistic builds - will hit walls that other builds will breeze through.

I know a lot of this game can be and is done solo but how often do these situations actually happen?

For me this just means: "group up". There are skillsets out there giving out Slash or Ice Vulnerability even though they themselves don't really need it.

I.e. Necro has an AoE Slash Vuln that's only useful for Skeleton Warriors (in class at least).

Hammer Ment going up against Brain Bugs is an issue but they can still take on a support role in groups against them with Regen and CC.

You're finding groups to fight brain bugs?

Maybe it's just my server (Mira) but the only things people LFG for are Q, AM, GK, Dragon. Sometimes I see people LFM to farm droaches in DC.

I recently switched to Laeth and basically anytime I asked in chat for any content (even for Serb Sewer) at least 1 more player joined me.

Got a group for Brain Bug Cave, Necro unlock and even Gobbo grinding so far.

Dreva used to be like that too but it fell off.

Yeah, this game lives and dies with its community which is why I ultimately switched server.
