Prof's Desert Mirage vs. Frank's Call of Seteki

[Abomination713]

I feel like these skill are completely unbalanced when compared to each other. Frank's ability is better in every single way when compared to Prof's.

Desert Mirage: Lasts for 10 second, attracts all enemies, and does a very pitiful knockback when finished.

Call of Seteki: Lasts for 30 seconds, Summons 3 adds which all do decend damage, attracts all enemies.

You can see where the problem is. Franks ability is amazing and one of, if not the best skill in the game. Use it during boss fights to get enemies off your back and blow them all up with some TNT. Almost every times you'll get all your energy back to use the skill again. Don't know why more people don't use it. Prof's on the other hand sucks really bad. It's over before the enemies every get close to surrounding it so the knockback it does is worthless. You would think the hologram would last longer than the summoned adds since it does no damage, but maybe that's just me. I feel like the Prof's should last 30 seconds while Franks goes for maybe 20 since it has the added benefit of dealing damage where Prof's doesn't.

I picked Frank's ability by random and I 100% agree that it is broken, it will agro everything and anything, you can summon them on a trap and watch them all walk towards in and there is no need to even use TNT/Grenades. It's a crazy skill, I believe that a way to balance this is for the summoned mobs to take damage by the enemies and possibly die in a couple of hits.

Yeah, sure, whine about the only skill that's worth having being OP. Until I had that skill on Frank I never bothered using the amulet as the other skills are pathetic.

If you don't like it, don't use it. Simples. Leave the rest of us to have FUN in the GAME, maybe? :D

I am tired of people shouting OP about anything that's actually fun in a game - I don't need my games to be 'hard' - real life is for the hard stuff, not games. Games are for fun and relaxation. it's not even a PvP game.

If someone needs to feel a 'sense of achievement' from doing something in a video game, great, but don't tell me it actually counts for anything :)

I still didn't try the Fairburne's skill but Desert Mirage wrecks havok as you can destroy the enemies with your gun and grenades while you take some breath.

I hit a nerve on someone. Guess I shouldn't point out one skill that completely towers over all the other skills in the game. Guess we should all play Frank.

Wasn't replying to you, but, hey - glad you feel good about yourself. Go you!

The other skills need to be powered up, not frank's amulet that needs to be powered down.

Cause if you power down his amulet or the professor's, might as well remove the mechanic althogether.

For one, Beserker amulet would easily grant you invulnerability and faster punch rate, but instead we are left with a half assed dmg resistence bonus and slow punches.

My God, finally unlocked the Fairburne's skill ... yep, now I get it, it's really OP.

I think the real problem is that amulet powers are incredibly underwhelming, especially given how long amulets take to charge (even worse in co-op). Frank's Seteki power is probably at the level that the other amulets should be on to even make them worthwhile to use.

What I find frustrating about Gracie's Typhoon Snake power (http://strange-brigade.wikia.com/wiki/Gracie_Braithwaite) is I feel like I have no control over where the "snared enemy" is getting tossed. Invariably the enemy goes flying sky-high past the mobs I'm battling and its explosion accomplishes nothing -- that's even if I target an enemy at the front of a long column of enemies in Horde mode.

If that power gave us a split second to truly 'aim' the ensnared enemy we're tossing, I think it'd be more useful. Though it can't compete with an amulet power that's essentially a bunch of guided missiles. :D
