Purists and MS, ongoing discussion (is it?)
Yup. A loooooong and fruitless discussion has happened in the forums on the benefit of the Mental Shield skill of purists and a (supposed) lack of damage from other class skills. I tried to stay out of this but finally i made some posts there...
The basic points are:
- purists have less dmg and att than other classes due to missing class skills tackling that
- MS is equal to 150 HP
Blah. I thought i am able to summarize that here and to put down my own thoughts, but im too tired right now and i figure that if i start this topic again (see here for it: http://forum.sigmastorm2.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6400 and here http://forum.sigmastorm2.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6369)
If you read through it, try to keep your sanity. I thought i were able to keep mine but in the end i lost...
Lets see if i manage to add something to this here at some points....

Re: Purists and MS, ongoing discussion (is it?)
I tried to keep track of the discussion, but it´s a real mess. Basically, a lot of players envy each other and whine because they want the same as the others. I never had any problems with the Purist´s MS. The classes are different, they are supposed to be different and by choosing one, we get some benefits that the other classes don´t get. We also choose NOT to get the benefits the other classes get.
In my opinion, the Purists can keep their MS as it used to be. I like the idea, that they have to use a Psi weapon to use the Shield, but that´s because I am a roleplayer and it makes good sense, that they need some Psi gear to focus their Psi mumbo-jumbo enough to keep up a lifesaving shield.

What I gathered from this debate is that there are 2 types of player:
It is a bit of a hassle to maintain Psi ammo, but that is something that adds to the uniqueness of being a Purist. And, now I am looking at all the Psi weapons and get to see the great artwork that I was missing before when I was using core weapons
- Role Players - Those that enjoy the uniqueness of choosing a class, and
- Number Lovers - Those that want the best stats and the best buffs available to everyone
