Enough with the threads about OP/not OP, how about a thread on how fun Sabos are?
I've never played an MMO with a class quite like them - that whole "stack 'em up and blow 'em up" mechanic is, whilst not always completely effective (esp. in group PvE), really both hilarious and requires quick thinking (to use the right charges for the right situation) and a bit of forethought.
Combine that with all the bombs and traps and it's just one of the most amusing classes I've played in any MMO. It reminds me a little of Demoman from TF2 - if only our area denial skills were as strong as them, though, eh?
What do you like best about the class? Any particularly fun combos from other souls?
Yesterday in a WF I had 14 killing blows, the 2nd in line had 6. I'm not saying killing blows are an indicator of skill/contribution/... but it sure is fun to press detonate and see enemies dropping like flies :-)
KABOOM
ppl drop like flies. Just trying to get the other 2 souls that I want with it for pvp strait! Almost got the pvp soul right before today's down time so I know that at least that's 1 of em.... maybe Marks for the speed boosts.
you gotta give it to trion, they came up with some funny class concept and combinations.
a leather wearer class best tank of the game? check
a class that plant and detonate stuff like a crazy terrorist maniac? check
a warrior class that laughs at magic damage? check
etc
my question is that ive heard Trion is going to nerf the Soul because its insane DPS its just like x5 charge - detonate = DEAD
If they do nerf Sab IDK if i still will have full spec on Sab.
I do really enjoy the mechanics of the Sabo, it really isn't all about hitting 2 buttons the whole time although it can be if you let it. I wasn't really enjoying my rogue Marksman mix but Sabo is a breath of fresh air .
So far my favorite souls to add on are Nightblade for the 15% dmg to combo builders and 15% dmg to finishers. The 3rd one I'll still playing around with, ranger for solo because of pet currently (although i could probably do without a pet it helps with multiple mob pulls). I'm gonna try out riftstalker tonight with it.
