WTF Happened To Legendaries In This Game?

I get’cha, whatever works for your playstyle. It’s funny though, I usually end up being the “Builder” of the team, and end up leveling extremely quickly even while not getting all the kills. It’s why I like going with cheaper non-legendary building materials, I can be building in between me killing things and get levels from both roles. I especially love Overgrowth, I usually build that mid shock turrent over 50 times per complete game.

I hope they see the irony in having Legendary Shard Generators that cost 1800 shards and reduce them to about no more than Epic costs (1050) same with the Wrench/Buildables Legendary (Rare-Epic levels of cost depending on which ones, uncommon costs for the Sustainment Well lol).

i agree the cheaper gear is good as well,but i love having the secondary effects as well. they add so many more layers to it!

@FlamesForAll

sorry for the mild derailment of your post but i hope it’s a useful derailment for you!

This post has many topics and is very informational!

I’ve done a good amount of testing and experimenting and have done some theorizing on weird synergies that can be done…some are more for sheer theoretical work but maybe someone can make it viable

#27

here’s one loadout that would seem “interesting” if mixed with an attack miko and pandemic but i’ll leave it up to others to decide yay or nay

use bola’s target finder

Bola’s Target Finder
+9.10% Skill Damage
+5.04% Attack Speed
Damaging enemies with Skills increases damage dealt to them by +5.60% for 10 seconds.

and shield web interdictor
Shield Web Interdictor
+9.10% Skill Damage
+98 Maximum Shield Strength
Skill hits prevent enemies’ shields from charging for 8 seconds.

and pacifier if possible
The Pacifier
+9.10% Attack Damage
+98 Maximum Shield Strength
Damaging enemies lowers their Attack Damage by 10% for 5 seconds.

now I’ve been told mellka’s venom proc’s bola’s so it would stand to reason that miko’s venom would as well

following that you’d be cancelling shield charging, increasing the damage they receive and reducing their attack power, not by a ton no. but that’s why it’s just a theorizing kind of build.

#28

Can’t have shield web indicator and bolas target finder at the same time though. I would replace the Shield web indicator with a shard collector to help with the two legendary gear

#29

true, those two are interchangeable. sorry i wasn’t paying attention, but basically debuffs for days!

#30

I might test that out right now

#31

do you by chance have voxis core? i’m curious if the aoe from voxis core also applies the debuff and if pandemic procs it(i can’t stop the thoughts and any testing is incredibly helpful to me as well thank you for your time and effort!)

#32

Don’t have that sorry

#33

it’s all good, i’m actually curious if gear stacks, like if all people on a party equip the pacifier does it only deal 59% damage?(.9 to the 5th power assuming it would be multiplicative) sorry i had a random thought moment…

#34

Miko’s passive does trigger Bolas target finder so pandemic would be a massive damage amp for the team.

#35

I’ll see if I can find some friends with gear that has possible stack-ability

#36

very nice thank you for assisting me with that! i know that it proc’d the pacifier as well so that’s helpful. and if you’re on ps4 i’m game to assist and can likely round up one or 2 others with pacifier at least.

#37

I could use someone with a bolas or pacifier. My PSN is BlaineTheBro send me a friend request. I don’t have anyone online with Bolas or Pacifier so if you do that would be great.

#38

i have one and another friend has one as well that i know of, so we’re up to 3. now how to do a controlled test is the other side of it, maybe a private match someone picks a character for a control(say boldur)
he hits someone once, take note of the damage done. all people hit him once with pacifier and let him hit again and see the difference…

and i have pacifier but not bola. but still would be useful to test!

#39

That would work. let me know when you can get your friends together

#40

i’ll probably add you tomorrow when i get on my ps4 i’ll also message you to let you know it’s me

#41

Sounds good, see you then.
