I'm Really Looking Forward to the Balance Pass!

Hey, GGG!

I'm really looking forward to the next balance! 1) because I'm really excited to try the skills that are archetypes that currently aren't capable of the game, and 2) because I'm currently frustrated that there are so many skills and archetypes that aren't capable of the game.

I'm looking forward to it, for whenever it comes out, but I'm hoping it's next on your list! I've been having a great time since the E and G patches and would love to have more options (out of what's already in the game).

Keep up the great work! I'm stoked for what's next.

Absolutely, there are so many skills that could be fun.

Ice Nova
Ember Fusillade
Volcanic Fissure
Supercharged Slam
Seismic Cry
Fire Storm
Whirling Assault
Ball Lightning
Incendiary Shot
Flameblast

I would love to build around those skills. They dont have to be great, just viable would be enough to have fun with.
Out of this list I only really fully agree with Volcanic Fissure, Fire Storm, and Incendiary Shot.

All of the rest can be very powerful skills.

I've seen one niche use of incendiary shot that actually was crazy on a Titan with auto-reload on stun and Crushing Impacts but I've tried to make it work on mercenary and all the back-and-forth reloading of the xbow is so annoying that even using it as utility just isn't worth it.

sidenote - why do xbows load empty clips when you switch between ammo? Makes no sense. In fact... it makes such little sense I wonder if it's a bug.
