Suggestions / Veteran Feats: Ancient Pack Rathound feat and Al Fabet feat

« on: July 02, 2017, 09:49:26 am »

Hi,

In the coming expansion, I had an idea for 2 additional feat (hoarding feats), perhaps as Veteran Feats.

Ancient Pack Rathound feat (or whatever you want to call it), prerequisite the regular Pack Rathound feat, and further increases carry capacity. (for example by 60 or something like that.)

a more "fun" feat could be a:
"Al Fabet" feat.
currently the encumbrance limits are:
Heavily Encumbered 35 points over carry capacity
Completely Encumbered 70 points over carry capacity
the feat could simply double (or triple) those numbers.

Since it is simple Hoarder Feats, they wouldnt break the game balance in any major way, and I guess they would be somewhat simple to implement.

General / SMG Bleeder Build - A horrible or a great idea?

« on: August 31, 2016, 06:51:30 am »

I am getting more and more familiar with the game mechanics, and had an idea.

Idea:
What about making a build, that uses SMG loaded with Micro-Schrapnel Rounds, to make all the bleeding-counters. Then utilizing feats like "Taste for Blood" and "Eviscerate" to end them rightly.


As far as I can figure, a good SMG-build would need high Dex, which synergizes well with a knife-melee build.
With a Dex in the 14-16 range, one should be able to make SMG Bursts at 12-14 AP per burst. And since each Micro-Schrapnel bullet hitting has a 50% chance of inlficting a bleeding wound, it should be possible to quickly stack up A LOT of bleeding wounds on your targets.

A bit of guessing numbers:
Taste for Blood is a nice feat, but the overkill is Eviscerate, which gives a 50% damage bonus per bleeding wound on target.
Lets say you fire 3 bursts with each 7 bullets, 21 Bullets total. If we assume that around 14 of them hits. That would then in average inflict 7 bleeding wounds. Ending that off with an eviscerate, you would get a 350% Bonus Damage, which is not too shabby.
Plus... keep in mind that other enemies might get hit in the cone of fire as well, also receiving bleeding wounds.

I havent figured out the whole build yet, but what do you guys think. Is it a great idea? Or a Horrible Idea?
(And if it is a horrible idea, then why? What have I missed?)
