OK I think Exploiterators now work fine in solo long term fight.

[hhhhddh]

As the title said, I did a quick test after today's update and finally it worked fine in boss fight. Still no effect to group or 100hp~200hp enemies but I think klei mean it now(still hope they will change it though).

But I have to say again: why Possessed Shadow Atrium didn't provide any buff to planar damage? 6% more normal dmg buff doesn't perform well in rift worlds. There're two ways I come up with. When Possessed Shadow Atrium implanted:

1. The buff will take effect on planar dmg too. (Or to shadow planar weapons only)
2. Or each Exploiterator provides extra 5 planar(number can be changed) damage per hit when using planar weapons.(Or shadow planar weapons only)

do you want to read smething funny? while you perceived a upgrade in comparison with the last patch version, to me it's looks almost the same but with a increase in consistence  between 5% to 10%, so yea, speed circuit was damagind the data to me, also the debuff drones should also have the same if not be more faster than wx

I think drones that help in sub-dps would help wx-78 way more while not being entirely broken, and would fit it be an affinity. While lunar is "make your own friends, forget co-op" shadow could be "help your friends, forget soloing bosses"

the problem is that we don't know if the devs want a more utility focused affinity or a more agressive one, a auto pick drone, a mini resources farm and the ability to use cloned items like they are normal objects make for a good utility if explored, and at the same time more damage and cloning weapons help with a more battle focused side, and because wx shadow side don't see to go more to a side o other

I think they make the buff last for a few seconds as well to make it take effect all the time. last update the buff ends immediately when the scan stops and the latest update the buff still there even they're moving and stop scanning for a second. much more stable I think.

the only thing left is planar buff I think, hope it will come out today.

yea, the possesed atrium is used to make two planar damage items, there's no sense to wx not gain any from it

Yeah, i wish it was more clear what they are trying to do with wx affinities. If wx-78 was focused on drones i'd understand but its yeah pretty random imo... lunar is more useful now while shadow just became completely useless. The old shadow affinity felt out of place and overpowered, this new one feels lacklusting and reused... they're doing a great job, but i'd rather that shadow atrium and further on would buff all circuits, making the shadow one a solo wx-78 chassis oriented affinity compared to lunar wx-78 that is several animated chassis doing multitasks.

I like the idea shadow implants buff all circuits, actually I roughly designed some before affinity skill come out (here), and I also design lunar version buff. But I don't think they are going to do something like these cause it takes too much work.
