Ep 5 balance update discussion

[Selphea]

Gu was really not killed at all. Like all other burst damage it was just nerfed so it is no longer gamebreaking. We will now get a far better PSO2 that isn't just mindless rushing after drops but where boss battles are actually fun for a change. And chain was buffed, not nerfed. OP damage with chain requires a more controlled environment than usual and bosses like deus prevent long chains anyway except in vary rare situations. So for most people and situations it's a pure buff because they would not have done OP damage anyway. Instead it's now far more reliable to use chains, raising damage in many situations.

Also, hu got its burst damage nerfed like everyone else. Vol Graptor is weaker and more expensive now. Probably no longer worth it in many situations cause it eats pp so fast you do more damage spamming pas.

Gu wasn't killed. As you quoted, Gu as a burst damage sub was killed even though Hu as a subclass is much more popular.

Well they're targetting burst damage and Hu sub is not really known for burst damage lol.

It's not really known for burst but I'd say Fury-JA-Massive-Automate-Flash Guard creates more problems considering they had to add heal jamming just to try and balance it.
