Utility Mod for Heavy Weapons

shadowolf505

A mod for utility slots that is called [Hrodegir's Glory]. It works like all other utility mods that boost damage. This would be a great mod to have since we got one for Power Armor and Laser Sword recently. Thanks for reading and I hope you including this into the game.

yes! IM STILL WAITING THIS

A lot of sets need a utility mod to boost damage. Force, heavy weapons... Does either TK or telepathy have one?
Other sets have them, but they are much harder to come by than is reasonable. I guess the MA core drops from the Hi Pan alert? And even then it's an ultra-ultra-rare drop? And if it's over level 5 then it takes away options to be slotted in the secondaries.

Why it's a utility core when it's clearly aimed at generating more offense I do not know, but whatever.

They need to just get them out there so every framework is on semi-equal footing, and they should all be at the same level... Tier 3, I guess.
Quit trying to be cute and waiting until they make a new AT or lockbox or whatever to add them to the game.
Every framework, every AT, should be just as important as every other, but as it is they are giving damage advantages to people using only certain frameworks.

They can just put them in the GCR store now and if they later want to make them available in some other way that's fine. But it's just unfair to give laser sword and fire and ice and whatever potential damage advantages that other frameworks lack.

Once they get those made then they can start looking at other sorts of utility mods that people might like and save them for lockboxes or whatever.

I doubt the HW mod will be named after Hrodegir. He's a player-made nemesis.If there will be a HW mod, it would probably be named after Ironclad or Therakiel. If they are aiming for Therakiel, then the HW mod might come when they revamp Therakiel's Temple or all Lairs.

I find it unfair how Left Eye of the Ruby Dragon boosts an entire powerset(MA) while the new ones are just for one type. Well, it is an old mod but can't help but feel salty about it.

Yeah, how about one for Telepathy / Telekinesis, since they actually do sucky damage. At least HW does decent damage, anyway.

LOL!

Please.

With the exception of Heavy Weapons (you could also argue Munitions)...it seems like once sets are positively reviewed and changes are made to make the set fulfill it's intended role a bit better (or perhaps expand on its uniqueness), a utility mod is created for it.

I think the long term goal is to provide every set with a utility mod, but that would require each set to be reviewed (positively, instead of nerfing different aspects of them every other month).

At this point...I'd say wait and see what is fiddled with next.

I do agree though that there should be a utility mod for Heavy Weapon Offensive Powers.

I don't see it being named Hrodegir (although it could be, if they were pressed for what to call it). Ironclad, Duratok or perhaps a Heavy Weapons wielding villain from CO lore may be the "face" of the mod instead.

Black Mace would have been the go to guy for showcasing Heavy Weapons, but he's been downgraded to a throwaway cage fighter in West Side.

Just to classify
Hrodegir the Unoriginal and Duratok are both PLAYERS DESIGNED characters
They are NOT canon in the Champions' Lore

Duratok is the winner of some Design Sidekick Contest (I wasn't playing back then, someone please explain)
and Hrodegir the Zombie-Viking costume set was one of the winners of Design a Villaint Contest

the MOD should NOT be named by them​​

Let's not quibble, just call the gear "Glory of Britannia"

Job done.

Well, they did a bit of fire stuff at the same time as HW, and so they came out with a fire mod. So my theory is that when they rekajigger Fire, then they'll come out with a HW mod. Cause evilpony o3o

Apart from one or two attacks, I don't think Fire needs much changes. It has good dps, and nice in set synergies.

The point I was making in my previous comment wasn't about the fire set needing changes, it was that we got the Fire mod after minor changes to the fire set and big changes to HW, so we'll probably get the HW mod when they make big changes to the fire set, and minor adjustments to the HW set. It was sort of a thing I did there implying that they had some wacky plan for the order to release those mods in. It wasn't really serious and I'm not sure how it brought you to talking about how the fire set doesn't need changes...

But since you mentioned it! All projector sets are boring and one-dimensional. A common theme with the changes has been "how can we make this more interesting and versatile" and really all the projector sets need that - currently the most interesting set in that group is Force, with Ice following in second. Being able to push out the standard amount of DPS is not the only benchmark for a set being okay.

Thanks for the comments and information about the player designed villains. All of your comments have been insightful thus far.

It'll come eventually, I think they all will sooner or later. Just be patient. It's not like they tack on so much more damage that you are gonna be left in the dust without any.

mithrosnomore

Well, I'm sure that nobody needs me to say it, but the heavy weapon mods are here now.

AND NOBODY WAS SURPRISED AT WHO IT WAS NAMED AFTER.
