The other thread was closed and I feel like this topic could use more discussion.
I feel like gonzo was running a whole bunch of probably OP characters and it wasn't necessarily the bomber boys fault. The allied general gonzo has is Max skill, level, talisman, and from what I've seen easily the most OP char in the game; blue allied soldier is a ridiculous OP character in his own right; the red bat has a sweet passive, and soldier Eddie is clearly a little spammy with his fury. I have also been on autopilot with this game for well over a month now and was running none of these characters. Most of us end game players use auto battle on every level but a couple of the level 10 rifts, and the beast in underworld on madness, and you don't need any of these characters to do it. Once you've got a decent character with all level 50 matched set talismans, and some sort of party synergy, this can be done without much hassle.
I currently have a bomber boy and I've been playing with him quite a bit, I'm debating on whether he's worth the upgrade to five stars because of the incoming nerf. My dilemma is I don't feel he's all the great, he's squishy, he doesn't hit very hard, and other than his passive he's not bringing much to the table. He does true damage as well which doesn't fit all that great with my hellhounds life steal ability. I feel like he does synergize well with many different characters, certainly not OP by any stretch. The kicker here too is that if the special abilities don't kick in on the first round/you don't get perfect attacks either, you're probably sentencing your glass cannons to death ->including the bomber boy. He's probably a solid character for farming, but I'm I'd probably rather take something else for a run at number of the beast.
I really do hope this is well tested before we truly smash the nerf bat down on a decent character and ruin it for everyone else, over a rage quit rant someone made a long time ago. Maybe special talisman effects on AOE characters need some sort of a nerf so it doesn't trigger against all enemies every time?
No offence to Gonzo of course, I'm not trying to spit on someone grave, I just feel like to change the direction of the game due to that thread is probably a little absurd.
