That is almost exactly what Nekros is now. None of those skills are more valuable than 90% more loot, and it's easy to argue that they are the worst powers in their field. Terrify, for example, makes enemies run away.

Ember. Hydroid can actually kill some pretty heavy poo poo with Tentacle Swarm(or even Barrage!) if they're built right, since TS is Finisher damage and as such ignores armor/shields.

And Hydroid can turn into a puddle. Ember will be better than Hydroid if she can turn into a puddle of fire.

As for Nekros, Desecrate (I think), needs to go the way of a passive. Having a Nekros in your group gives enemies a +20% chance to drop extra loot or something. As amazing and necessary as Desecrate is, its not... compelling gameplay.

At least with the changes though, Shadows of the Dead might be able to kill something. And your army of dogs will be moderately more effective than a novelty!

(Watch them gently caress of SoD though. They'll make it into a WoF toggle)

Soul punch was a perfectly serviceable 1 as it was. With the changes a desecrate focused Nekros can keep anything near him from standing, ever.

Well the way i reason it is you use terrify to make enemies easy targets, then kill a few and use Desecrate to drop some extra orbs/kill the rest, Then Shadows to have a personal meat shield army. Maybe it would be OP, but it certainly would be way cooler than what Nekros is now.

I have no idea how to fix soul punch except make it not use energy (which would be ridiculous but whatever) + the changes they're already making.
I have a bazillion ways to make Soul Punch better but not overpowered. Start by making it closer to Bone Spear from D2 - maybe even make a cone AoE or something too. Any enemy hit by a Soul Punch is preserved on the kill list for Shadows of the Dead to use (how to CANCEL those enemies is another matter). Enemies killed by Soul Punch either explode or fly backwards like from Boltor and bows. Oh, and increase the goddamn damage, if not, make Soul Punch remove armor directly. This will help Nekros possibly survive against tougher enemies and make it easier for your shadow army to take down.

I played both a necromancer in D2 and warlock in WoW, it's tough to balance a character like this with summons and actual abilities without making them superpowered.

Is there much of an Oceanic goon presence in this one? Much as I'm enjoying the game, playing with folks from the clan has so far been like pulling teeth. Most of the time I can't even trade with people. Warframe's netcode is weirdly bad enough without also having to deal with trying to connect to the US from our horrible, remote corner of Australia.

Will the Strict NAT thing they're working on help with P2P connections to the 'states? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to networking... is it just :dealwithit:?

Extremely late to Prisma gorgon party, looks like they're going for between 150-300 plat atleast according to WTFtrading. I probably should've atleast put my IGN (Pacena) before since no one really knew if there was anything left or who was selling them at non retarded prices. Also I'm trying to remember who I owe an infested Alad V run to. I think MaleMan, except there was that whole thing with the dyes. :v:

I live in the US on the east coast and when I played a few months back I had a horrible time connecting to certain goons and I still have little clue what exactly the problem is hardware/software wise. I opened up everything until I was a sieve, talked to my ISP to see if they were blocking incoming/outgoing ports for some reason and couldn't get anything done about it.

I'm hoping to change modems and hopefully that will do the trick but we will see.

Would've preferred the plat go to a goon rather than pubbies, plus there's the whole "I got a higher offer" scam going on. I'll be willing to pay the low end as the price for my laziness.

I live on the east coast of the US and have played with an aus host no problem. The only things that suck are switching weapons, which you shouldn't really be doing during a battle anyway, and opening doors which doesn't happen in endless missions.

Their netcode is pretty decent overall for latency to have so little effect on things.

300 sounds unlikely, but it's hard to say. I just know that when goons were grabbing them for 40-60p (While the trader was in town) you STILL saw people even then trying to sell them in trade chat for 150p

I bet you could snag one for 150p or less if you were patient. For comparison, I know when I was trying to get the arcane vanguard people were sending PMs and stuff for 300-400 often. I passed on 150, then started to wonder if that was dumb since didn't see any more that low. One guy didn't take my offer but later admitted HE had gotten it for 150 (despite saying how unlikely I'd be to find something like that or cheaper). I think I finally paid ...120 and a r5 fusion or something like that?

Now that both overextended and heavy caliber have returned to somewhat sane prices and Synoids are getting too saturated to move, I've been grinding out a decent profit buying Jolt for 80--120p and reselling at 200. All in all it's really not that hard to keep glancing at trade chat over the course of a day or so to see the things people keep looking to buy. Then spam WTB followed by a (short, so people actually read it) list of poo poo you're looking to flip.

The important thing is just to keep at it and remember that virtually everyone in trade is looking to get something for nothing. I'm not great at this by any stretch of the imagination, but logging in a couple times a day for a week or two let my turn 100p into 1200p, which solves all my slot and potato needs for the foreseeable future.
