Really, you say that the reason we need ED is because mixed builds can get around ghost heat, yet you then turn around and say that mixed builds are not a problem that needs to be addressed. If mixed builds are not a problem and do not need to be nerfed, then why do we need ED? Would not simply linking ERPPC's and guass inside the current ghost heat system take care of most of the problem builds on live without blanket nerfing all mixed builds? Why must we use a sledgehammer when all we need is a scalpel?
Because scalpels require care and precision. It's much easier to just smash something repeatedly with a sledgehammer until it stops begging for mercy. I, uh, am talking about balance here, nothing else.
But yeah, ED punishes players for daring to have loadouts that aren't going to fire in sets of 30 damage each. Which is stupid.
