suggestions

I totally think there should be some unique armors that require dex instead of only strength. Kinda makes str pures MIGHTYYYY cause of the stupid Absorb

makes sense tbh

but that would make dex bots very overpowered

With that logic we should also have shields that require strength, otherwise dex is pures MIGHTYYYY cause of the stupid block.

A better suggestion would be something like 'increase the armor on shields because right now dex bots are way too far behind on str bots in some level areas'

Shields are going to take damage in Bots4, further nerfing anything Non-Strength. Given that Strength bots dominate for a LONG fucking period, game's gonna be set once you get to a certain level.

So...You support buffing dex bots?

I like Balance Bots, so anything that supports Dex in theory supports me as well.

Every x hits in a row without missing does extra damage(hit a weak spot) maybe int could be a factor... yay buffs for both!

Higher INT makes your bot so smart it can hack the opponent and disable it ;).

Maybe hitting the shield could do some damage.

tl;dr nerf str bots absorb 80-140 or buff dex/balance builds in some way

:(

maybe you just level up more and spread the points so you dont have to worry about it :)

It makes sense for dex bots to do less damage than str. I think the solution to this is to increase shield armor bonuses.

I also think that including a few unique shields with stat bonuses would make dex bots more appealing.

Dex is very clearly underpowered.

i like that idea, rare shields with stats on them \o/

well right now on pure str... I'm hitting about 50-100 max..
and they hit like 200s. I have a block chance of 69% atm. And even then..
I usually block/miss more often then the str bot.

Rare shields would be interesting. It is borderline rare weapons which people have generally stayed away from but you could say shields are armors even though they are in a weapon slot. :P
