Let us use a SINGLE karma

[SS]

Anyone else not a fan of this two class system?..

Look, i don't mind if people like swapping classes, but honestly, can we not get an option of going with a single karma, but buffed in some way? Maybe allow them to use more abilities.. Or let them slot the same class twice in both slots with different abilities.

So example, if you stack the witch karma twice you simply press tab and it gives you the other set of abilities you've slotted.

Lets look at another reason this is a good idea :

The NPCs only have a single karma too. It would make sense that we too should be able to focus ourselves on one karma.

Am i saying you could stack say.. Two black hole on the separate karmas? No, they would have to be different abilities; no using the same ability between mirror karmas.

I was never to fond of the breaker/slayer concept, I personally just prefer to use just single karma, but ofcourse balancing has to be taken into account but that is just me.

At first this seemed like a good idea to me as I myself wanted to master just one class. Also I am not a very big fan of the meta the 2 class system creates. Stay in breaker until you catch somebody then proceed to combo them with a slayer. However, there could be a bad side to this as Kurtz Pel is a rock/paper/scissors kinda game. And if a mage only player went up against a DS only player, or if a DS only player went up against a hammer only player. Well, you get the point.

DS is actually not a bad counter to hammer. Pretty much one hit from DS will break them if they get caught while not doing anything. It can't even tank the launch attack.

As for witch vs DS, well, it's high risk high reward for either side really.


On to the main topic, it'd be nice to be able to only use one karma, but you'd definitely need to be careful with the balance if you're going to buff a playstyle like that… I'm not sure if it'd really even be possible to balance it properly, it feels like the game would need a complete overhaul for that. Besides, it's already possible to beat anyone or anything with any one karma if you're good enough. I guess being able to equip the same karma twice and with no duplicate skills wouldn't be too bad though actually…

But yeah, buffs or not, I just want to be able to unequip the secondary karma at least XD Back before the new tutorial, it was optional to equip a secondary karma for the first time, so having an empty slot is already in the code… Every once in a blue moon I even see someone named OnlySword, who of course only has the sword karma equipped from the old tutorial stuff.

I think this is just a pve scrub who likes running around with only witch and spam LMB. Hate those people.

If you pick a breaker class, you will do no damage, and even the games you DO win, will take you forever, if you take a slayer class, you`ll be extremely vulnerable the whole way through and most likely take more dmg than you actually manage to land.
This idea is probably the simplest way to invite toxicity into your life.

I like the idea of having more skills, yeah it happens to me on witch that i would love to have a 4th skill, hell i`d even exchange it for the ultimate slot since now that bh got nerfed, demonic ain`t anywhere near as great and meteor is just plain crap. But it still wouldn`t work without a breaker class to back it up, in both pve and pvp.

I`ve tried several double breaker setups in calamity (where supposedly you can`t hold a team back by not dealing as much damage since there`s 6 of you) and even that was holding the team back about as much as me, standing there on bow, spamming LMB. (i did half damage and the break amount barely went up 30%)

In pvp double breaker can kinda work but most of those duos win by forcing face-smashing short range endurance contests and winning them by the shear number of skills they have on hand... the way to counter this is... you guessed it, taking a ranged slayer and outdmging their ass, hell, several times, i`ve killed two people with one manaray as they were trying to burst my teammate with ult.
