Author Topic: Switching tactics are an exploit? (Read 975 times)

Have any of you seen this thread on the MXO forums? It appears that switching tactics from say speed to power right before a move hits is an exploit. 9mm said that they know about it and that it will be fixed at some point. Looks like another nerf to me.

He actually has a fair point. I hadn't really considered the speed/power tactic since like most people I use it all the time - but what he says about special abilities (i.e. switching to Karate) is a very valid comment.

This has been around since CR2 went live.

When it works, it's really nice. But I suppose to be fair, it shouldn't work that way. Damage buffs shouldn't be applied to a special after it has been executed.

Worst case scenario: They'll add a five second cast timer to each tactic, which will break combat even further. Imagine having to lose a chance to attack just so you can switch from one tactic to another.
