Title: Did Metathermics really need a nerf?
Post by: Valor on July 24, 2021, 12:13:36 am

In 1.1.4.0 Metathermics received a huge nerf no one talks about. Warmed buff is now given to about half of underrail denizens and it makes half of the metathermics school much weaker. I know we recieved plasma beam, but ....

Anyway, what is your opinion about this? Should there be some negative to the buff perhaps (increased heat damage taken?) to compensate?

Warmed is only a problem early game when the extra cold DT matters. Later on you hardly notice it on psychosis builds since crit cryo orb still obliterates everything, and tranquility builds don’t really care about cryo based abilities anymore when you can spam up to 6 1k damage plasma beams in a single turn with the proper setup. Plasma beam more than makes up for the warmed status effect.

I find immunity to chill/freeze much more important than DT granted by the buff actually.

Honestly yes.  MT is fantastic for safely nuking groups before they get a chance to act.
