I'm currently using the Dragon's Claw build since it hasn't been changed yet. But wth, it is so OP! I mean, seriously, you can dish out 23K+ crits with just one attack and because of Steadfast+DEX+Broke FotT stacks you'll never run out of Energy. So you can just continue spamming. Makes me feel like my Str/Con dps is trash even though it can compete with most other dps.
Geez, DEX build really feels like an easy mode dps. It takes me back when Ego Surge still had a con/crit chance adv. I'm literally green with envy right now. Kinda wish that DEX(or it's Crit Chance) would be nerfed so STR can shine a little brighter.
Now I see why the majority break theme just to reach this kind of damage. Still prefer Enrage though even after the growth nerf.

This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day
It's not just FC that bothers me. It's the whole Dex Focus build meta. Any melee dps can reach high dmg thanks to high crit, FotT, and literally any single target charge power. I want the devs to consider nerfing Dex a bit or buffing non-crit builds so they can be on par. I mean that's why they fixed Ego surge and Wardicator, right? For balance?

Of course using TB is also foregoing the rush buff, lower energy cost, and the circumstances I was using TB under was also combining it with usage of Viper Claws and the Setup Spec (raises damage significantly after using combos for a while, and VC sets up shred perfectly for TB.) Just mentioning, that possibly could be more meta/generate higher DPS than just pure Dragon Claw spam.
But yeah! DC! OP! Still is ever since melee became viable in like 2011.
Perhaps they could consider lightening the DR on Ego and Str's innate dmg bonuses if they think this is a real issue, but they have to be careful w/ that dial. Imo, Dex should still remain at the top if its focus is still on supplementing raw output, but other options can ofc also be competitive in that dimension.

Form of the Tiger isn't really rng-based. You get a Focus stack per 60% charge.

I love when people who religiously use DC also point out how boring it is... shows you what some people's priorities are ;3
Squishy DPS builds that can solo QWZ w/videos.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Feels like your one of those Dex users who want to keep their dmg. 23k+ is often if you have the AoED buff, but that still doesn't change the fact that Dex is still real powerful on its own. Calling it "pathetic" is a laughable excuse. If it was real pathetic, then why do most top dps I see use it? No matter how you defend it, Dex is quite exploitable.

The larger issue is that anything that gives a % instead of a rating is not effected by diminishing returns. This means most dexers are running over 50% crit as a baseline when specialization trees are taken into account.
Now when you add in abilities such as lock n load, imbue, ego surge etc you have people who are averaging out 60-70% crit chance.
This whole situation feeds right into dragon claws strength which is it’s innate critical severity and why it is vastly over performing.

...is this an actual thing that people say? xD

So... when you say Dex build, are you saying that you took DEX PSS?

Used to be coach on the forums. Still @coach in game.
Yes actually. Still pretty good even when others suggest STR PSS. The Expose Weakness is good for a crit monkey spammer.

Block timing explained
Some folks do take relentless over steadfast though. I guess the fact that it gives energy over time, instead of in a big clump just makes for a smoother energy curve.
I mean sure... if you ignore the fact that every powerset that has been touched has been buffed overall. Once you recognize that fact you realize that you've been chasing phantom nerfherders this entire time.
Wouldn't someone with scoreboard ego be using a DC/dex build and fighting for it to stay as is?
The answer is yes. So it's funny how that's you atm.
If Panta is responsible for what's been happening to the game then I'd like to join his fanclub. Where do I go to do that? o3o I'd love to be a Pantabunny.

Something is OP
I say it's OP (or maybe I don't, plenty of stuff I don't notice and/or comment on).
It gets nerfed (sometimes months or years later).
Clearly my fault

I have way easier time with power armor getting 24k + consistantly but it has a set up time
