New mod ideas

Speed is still the king. Does it really matter if we have some other sets?

Well, yeah, that's the point, how to dethrone speed. (Also having fun and trying new things.) When hitting Dooku under Nihil lead speed was not as important as stunning him, right? So any ideas to fight speed? If you attack my RaidHan guarded by Chewie you are probably going to kill yourself; speed is less important there. That's where I'm heading. Can new mods act against speed? Because they're not going to nerf speed (nor should they), and mods 2.0 didn't achieve what they pretended.

-Stun chance mods
-Go all in and make "Decrease enemy speed" mods

What do I know, I'm not great reading kits, but surely speed can be countered, and new mods could help for that, don't you agree?
Thanks for the input though, lol

Well, I like the idea, but there should be more balance even with comparison to mods 2.0

Speed in a turn based game will always be king

Hell, mate. Someone had to say it, and you did. Thank you. Now can we move on?

Now, if anyone wants to play a little brainstorming game (100% FTP!) called "New fun mod sets", go ahead. Just for the fun of it, what the heck. Go crazy.

-Copy enemy buffs mods
-Chance to dispel de/buffs (own/enemy) mods

That seems overboard, Mods that are essentially abilities...?

Health Steal sounds like fun, though.

Splash Damage mods?

How about evasion sets

I keep pondering:

what do you think would happen if they got rid of speed mods altogether? I mean in an utopian top arena (without further mod changes a matter of time), assuming everyone is playing the same mods anyways, thus speed basically gets reset to basic toon speeds.

I'd guess, related to speed, this would be the easiest way to balance toon as good as possible

OR

what would happen if the other mods stats would increase further or scale differently with toon classes? Attackers getting less speed from speed mods than tanks/supports or something like that?

Then whoever has the highest speed becomes the new arena darling, probably.

I've always felt that since nobody really uses Defense or Tenacity sets, they should roll them into a single mod type called "Bulwark" or something that gives both stats. They'd still probably never get used, but it'd clean up the mod system a bit.

I think the devs are waking a very fine line. They need to let people digest all the characters and ships they have unloaded on us.
I’ve had 6 people leave our guild. 5 leave my squad arena and 3 leave my fleet arena. At this pace people are getting burned out and frustrated with the overload of characters. Put new mod sets on my lap and I’ll be in the same boat.
6 dots are long enough of a farm.
