Sigmastorm 2 Forum

Just want to quote some replies earlier in this thread:


Whether they are OPINIONS or not, I will say no more. But the actual test from other players:

Well, I would leave readers to decide your ability to apply skills to gears.

And I said again: I want cyborgs to have some decent skills, at least comparable to soldiers. I don't care if soldiers have the best dmg or not, I just want some newly introduced bonus (bonus from port skills) can actually be used by players. And apparently no one (even a purist ) is in favor of those port skills, except a soldier keeps telling everyone how "significant" the new bonus is

@maxgr: Since you quote the part of Elite/HK sets, do you think that HCS made the total point of each set equal to each other ACCIDENTALLY? Guess you learn something today . Actually, I think you already saw the equality: "losing some... in exchange for ...". Yes, that is the equality between classes, welcome to the world of number . However, currently, cyborg lost lots but gain so little

Aug + Int + Port1 + Port2 + Port3 + MK1, with full set + Hardware add ons and weapon.
All max out to level 120, and you will have no points to select core skill.
(Overload depends on if you are going to solo bigger Elite/HK)
Put around 100 points into HP, rest all go to damage.
And you will become a killing machine.

You may ask why don't put into attack ?
Because I found Cyborg's sets are balanced enough.
No super high damage weapons, and no super high attacks.
The distribution between attack and damage is about 45:55. (maybe 40:60)
If you want to one hit bigger ones, you need to let damage get higher.
And the bonus for attack (Port + Aug) is enough to beat 95% creatures in this whole world.

As for trying bigger ones, like HK or level 190~200 Elites.
Suicide set is good for one hit, but if you wear "powerful core items", all bonus from class skills will gone. Yes, GONE !! And you will back to a normal Cyborg, not killing machine anymore.

I don't know if COWs are willing to create class single items for armor. (not add ons and weapon) -- [as type here, I think we should have class armor... we only can get add ons and weapon blueprints besides Elite sets' ]
If this is in their plan, Borgs will be good to see in the future.

But it is still weird that, WHY SOCKET MK1 STILL NEED TO CONNECT WITH NETWORK ??

I was a Cyborg over 140 levels... and I do the same thing like DK did before.
Cyborg is good, but need more care of items switching and stats care when hunting/leveling.
I'm lazy... and too much items need to carry.

But see, if you get too focused in numbers you lose the general picture The trade-off is there and even if its not 1 for 1 the Cyborgs are now significantly less inferior to Soldier in respect to Damage achieved with a lelevling set, which -again- is acceptable in my eyes if Soldier is advertised as the easiest class to play.

The set stats may be equal or different, the total output of those will be affected anyway by class skills and distribution of evolution points, so the end result is different for each class and different for each player..A good example of what i am trying to say is the LE helm coming from Altus..If i have 80 points in defense and another 80 in armor i will value it quite differently than someone having all damage, even if he is a mutant too..The same applies to sets..if Borg sets lack damage, compensate with evo points that you now dont need in attack..you might have less to go around if you need so many for soldier-like damage, but hey, this is where borgs are harder to play than soldiers

Agree !
You got the point, MaximusGR !!
Evo points setting should be different from class to class.

I was that confident until around level 85 or so And then became confident again at level 100. Your unstoppability will be put to the test somewhere in between, be certain of that

Be careful, it might turn to "Oh my!! What have i done? "

Those -too many- evo points in HP are invaluable for Elites and the odd high damage creature in each content but they WILL be missed quite a few times In which case i will joyfully tell you that "The game is not necessarily designed for 1-hitting"

See, BG went below. But - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Did you read the part about where there is a bug in them working (where I said that)? Which accounts for the 6 and 8? Did you? Did you see that I said the important part is to fix this? Did that part get by you? So, to quote the 6 and 8 - which WAS NOT PUT IN THREAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WEAK SKILLS BUT TO POINT OUT A BUG - is just proof you don't get it. You don't even read your own press.

You're right you can leave it up to readers whether I can do math. THERE IS A BUG. BG IS LOOKING INTO IT. I SAID THEY NEED TO ADDRESS SAID BUG. I'm done with this part - until you use the best set for each class, properly applying skills I don't care about numbers. I don't care about total stat points - I know you do. You use bad math, apply skills incorrectly, quote the wrong stuff and then argue that I am the one that is wrong.

BG has answered for me. There are no problems with the skills as written. There is a problem with them being applied right now. Something isn't working right. And, teekill? Go back and look. There were several cyborgs that didn't say the skills weren't enough - just that they weren't working as written....
