Mesa Arcane Recommendation AKA RIP Velocity

[EmarninE]

Title says it all.

Using two guardian now, wanted to know what u guys think.

[^3Tinkles]

I believe they reverted the change, not sure on that though.

While I understand where they're coming from, arcanes are endgame balance, they need to balance everything else before that.

I personally use energize/grace, guardian is fine - but overkill for the most part, considering her 3.

It's a bug that'll be fixed.

Arcane Change/Fix:
As often happens with Mainline - unexpected bugs popup. In the case of last week's 24.4.0 Mainline Update, we quickly received reports that Arcane Velocity was not working on Mesa's Regulators. Considering Mesa's popularity, it's no coincidence that this was noticed right away. We want to go into detail about what happened between Thursday and now, what's being fixed, and what next steps are:

From Thursday to today:
1) Between Thursday and now - we've had issues internally on intention, which are typically the hardest to communicate when we're also trying to diagnose a bug. As of now, players know we may intend to keep Arcane Velocity from working while Mesa is in Peacemaker
2) Between Thursday and now, many other prior-functioning Arcane + Abilities broke as well, leading to further confusion on intention.

De confirmed that even it was a bug, they will keep it that way.

Yeah, no, it was working as stated, at least arcane's description clearly says "on critical", not "on secondary weapon critical".

Community backlash forced them to revert it anyway. It was a pointless change that did nothing to balance anything, made even worse by originally being a bug that affected ALL Exalted weapons' ability to proc ANY Arcane. They'll probably remove the interaction again at some point in the future anyway, but hopefully not until they've already rebalanced more of the actual broken stuff out there.

Quite powerful indeed, and if a more sweeping balance change comes she probably will get nerfed directly once again, but being line-of-sight-based she still can't hold a candle to the likes of Saryn.

Volt too, Equinox effects games way harder than Mesa and I am not looking forward to visiting Hydron when prime comes out.

Eh it's for a couple of months at most then it dies back down, but I know what you mean.

well it is nothing compared to eternity playing with plebs who spam 4 in those warframes so it's a plus! (someone please send a hammer to DE's address)

Are you implying Hydron is more fun the longer it takes? Cause I disagree with that, entirely. Praise nukeframes!

[^3Tinkles]

Well on one hand nukeframes are annoying if you're leveling a warframe or (bear with me) want the play the game. They're amazing if you want it to be over as soon as possible.
