Here something from an old colleague. read through. Maybe you understand what they all want to tell you
a few people and I tested the new FK update last night and got some new insights that we don't want to withhold from you:
1st LP are still important LPs are still the A&O for FKs. That's not going to change anytime soon!
2. Red LP is history Since the skill "Endurance" has been dropped for the FK formula, the skill with all attributes on strength and all FPs on LP is no longer recommended. The weaknesses of this skill showed up yesterday, especially in the Att, since you only get hit and don't hit anything yourself.
3. Blue and green are the new red After point 2, the question naturally arises: if red is no longer good, where do the APs go? Yesterday we found an answer to that too: It will be skill and/or mobility. Background: Green: Hide and dodge Blue: trapping and aiming Recommendations on who should skill and how will follow later!
4. Clothing sets Of course, the FK sets have been adjusted according to the changes. In general, nothing has changed in the values of the sets. However, yesterday it was found that some are now "playing" better and others worse than before. As described above, this is due to the devaluation of the red skill. This affects e.g. the scout set. This gives an extremely large number of attributes on red, which now "only" bring LPs. The set is still good, but not as good as before. Now why have other sets gotten better? This comes from changing the exponent for the Aim and Dodge stats. That means specifically: All sets that involve dodging and aiming now play better than before. The Bob Dalton set and the Shawnee set made a particularly positive impression on us. I then looked at the other sets: the Deadwoods set should be a lot better now than before. But we will continue to gain experience here, which will then result in an "update" here.
5. Non-FKers at FKs Dear duelists, the time for excuses like: "You can't do FKs with a dueling skill" is over! Due to the improvements to aim and dodge described above, duelists are now generally very good at FKs as well. Put on the FK set and PARTICIPATE!
6. The New Special Forces: Workers Due to the changes to the FK bonus of the workers, these are now worlds better in terms of Att values compared to other classes of the same level! Also in the Deff they are still a real power on their ET!
7. Skill Recommendations IMPORTANT: These recommendations have now been tested by a few people and have proven themselves in maneuvers. However, you still have to see how well the skills perform in "normal" Fks. But now to the recommendations: - For Soldis/LP tanks I recommend a green LP skill from the tests. Sounds strange at first, but yesterday I survived an average of 10% longer than with red LP, because I was much better at dodging. This is especially true in the Att. Hiding makes this skill very strong in the Attack, promising good hit and dodge rates while still maintaining high LP. The skill pays off, especially for non-PA users! I.e.: APs on mobility, FPs on life points (adaptation to the FK set can sometimes make sense!)
- For duelists and workers, I recommend a blue-green skill. Unfortunately, we don't yet know exactly how the ratio should be, but we suspect that something between 1:1 and 1:2 will make sense. Since LPs are still very important, as described above, a large part of the FPs should also be set to LP for duelists/workers. Duelists with PA can consider distributing FPs on lines. You are welcome to discuss this with me in detail. I.e.: APs on mobility/skill in a ratio between 2:1 and 1:1 (i.e. more mobility than skill), FPs on LP, if necessary management (an adjustment to the FK set can also be useful here)
- Let's move on to the last class, the adventurers. A green skill is also recommended here. Kara's just playing around with it a bit. I will keep you ABTs up to date on this I.e. APs on green (will be examined in more detail! - Update on this will follow), FPs on LP
I hope I was able to answer some of your questions and hope that we, as Chaos, will continue to put the FK elite on Hannahville!
