Killyox Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I wanted to ask community what Cypher build diversity is there and also how does melee cypher measures up to ranged cipher. Is it only bow + ranged to generate focus or melee is decent as well now? In 333 or 362 focus gaines depended on dmg done. Is that still a thing? How effective is it now and how strong/weak his spells and effects are? Is he still cosnidered a nuker?
Karkarov Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Personally I would say they can be fairly diverse. You have plenty of ability choices that run from raw damage, to control effects, to debuffs or buffs. I would say melee Cipher is a bit better than ranged Cipher though in my opinion.

Its definitely a class that favors creativity in its ability use also, which really opens it up for whatever play style really.
Killyox Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 The little time I spent with it in older build made me interested that it can have a few roles to fill but previously it was imo better as a ranged guy. Maybe spear for him so he can do 2nd line attacks from behind tankier character? There seemed however to be a problem with accuracy of his spells. Some of them had really low accuracy even with high perception in 333 or 362 (can't exactly recall) so they missed a lot/grazed. How does it look right now and what sort of attribues would be decent for him (not 100% powerplay but ~60% power play and 40% focus for story dialogs)
