Thread: Prepare for more...
Now there are 2 types of defense stackers, the ranged/melee ones and the dodge/counterattack ones (I've yet to meet a person who has actually tried to do the block stack). I would say a good majority of these stackers fall into either the Pistol/Fencer mold or the Rifle/TKM mold. If the above statement is really all that they are changing in the patch, then expect a big nerf outcry for us, because that will really only effect all of the pistol/fencers out there. I just hope when they "balance" us in Patch 8 they actually listen to some of our opinions, instead of everyone else's, but, I kind of doubt it. I also hope they have a character copy in place before Patch 8 so some of us can actually go on to test center and test out our "balanced" profession when they nerf it to see how bad it is. Anyone have some thoughts on this? Agree/Disagree with my theory?
They are also fixing the chance for Melee players to hit us which is a huge boost to Melee. I'm not sure if I agree what you are saying or not as yet, but yes I can see another round of Nerf calls to appear after tha patch.
Know this though.. The Moderators are policing the boards alot these days so any "unsavoury" posts will be locked or deleted. Which is a good thing in my opinion 
Uh...like there wouldn't be nerf calls on us even if the nerfed us in this patch? LoL

Well guys, I'm just letting you know that my newest theory is that there will be an increase in nerf calls after patch 7 (***disclaimer-This is going on the assumption that the patch 7 notes put up for Test Center are accurate..which, of course, leaves the very big possibility that not everything was written or written correctly in the patch notes)
Anyway, this is the main point I'm talking about:
Added a cap to defensive skill mods (block, dodge & counterattack) to prevent near invulnerable defenders. (Correspondent Issue)
