NS2 looks very similar to today's NBG ... 100% DtN shield @ 100% conversion rate, right ?
If so, that's a 25/30Kish shield that bypasses cap, like today, with a shorter duration as a nerf (makin it even harder to pierce for a single opponent) but not directly draining nano on end.
What gonna plays the role of today's nano depletion will be those new super high nano cap, so its efficiency will be all about final number on na cost.
-Today nacost with an empty pool + nano regen we currently have means we could still chain cast (get hit with 2 engy's nano mine and you ll understand)
- Today na cost with an empty pool + NBG nano drain + today's nano regen forbid us from chain casting.
- Tomorrow nano cost with an empty pool (let say 15K PvP dmg taken within 15 sec from the opponent and 10k lost in casting offensive nano program while shield is active) + roughly the same nano regen as today will probably means issue to keep casting, just like it is today.
100% reflect for a DtN tool is probably a nerf, there would be an optimal value around 75% for NT today for instance, where the 25% dmg goin thru are mitigated by some other tools at our disposal (layer, HP buffer that we heal with stims / rare perks, heal delta etc) without hitting too much our nano. It's all about balance cause at the end of the day we d rather have a NT at 50% HP and 50% nanopool then 100% HP and 0% nanopool with regen that can't keep up with nuke spamming cost.
So i would advise gettin the nano cost together, adds in the nano regen we ll be working with, and based on that, at the end, define DtN reflect % and conversion rate accordingly.

I'm very concerned about the new nano costs. i mean, in pvp, they might be ok v most things, but against high hp profs or healers, these new costs would make it almost impossible to kill them.
what worries me more is PVM / PVT, esp. PVT...even as it is now, my 170 NT can easily run out of nano if I'm pushing dmg at 100%, it takes effort to keep it above the 50% mark where I have just enough left for defense if I need it.
e.g. - at 170, I would be using Astinus's Stellar Pulse as an NR debuff. with new NR check at 80% (up from 55%), THIS will probably be countered more often than you think against twinks. 1850 cost for so little in return seems outrageous. the duration of the very small debuff is 15 seconds, the cooldown is 10 seconds...how exactly are we supposed to take advantage of the 3x stacking? or is the duration dependant on the third land. and...does the cooldown go into effect even if it's countered?
and with so little NR debuffed, what even is the point in the NR debuff anymore? nobody is going spend almost a minute debuffing for -338, for a 15 second benefit from it oO.
am I seeing this wrong? because it looks completely silly to me.

I'm really loving most of the changes.
-NS2 looks like it is getting nerfed but it doesn't effect me because I don't have it yet and as of now it is almost unattainable.
-<3 Damage
I'm tired so I can't comprehend all the changes right now and will wait on someone to write up a review before commenting further.

You cast 1 debuff, cooldown 10 sec, you have a 5 second window to refresh it after the 10 sec cooldown ; if you do, it cast the higher NR debuff, and refresh the 15 sec and 10 sec cooldown.
Those debuff, even if minor, are here to land NR perk debuff, 800 & 1200 nr debuff for tl7, check what you got at tl5), combined with the fact that we gonna be running with MC focused setup, both to land more "regular" nuke, and because damage scale up with MC.
Our defensive toolset has been buffed imo, which seems to make up for the sacrifice in evade we ll do from goin to MC setup.
Everything seems to fit in term of big lines, to me, but the devil is often within details
Btw, Kintaii, you perfectly said this 1st shot was all about designs, and that tweaking numbers is easy ... How do you get enough insight of all those professions and how they interact with each other to go as far as saying that it is "easy" ? Approximation in numbers is what cause unbalance afaik, and that's what this whole thing is about, no ?
you're assuming that all NT's will have a dmg focused setup, that's not true. just because it will be an option, doesn't make it the goal for everyone.
and if the cooldown goes into effect on a countered debuff that has an 80% check, half the profs out there will make it impossible to ever stack them.
anyway....scum just reminded me that NR is being looked at, referencing Kintaii's earlier post
so ignore my post about the NR debuffing, but I'ms till concerned about the increased costs... I've never undwerstood why we, as a prof that specializes in notum management even has to be concerned with such a thing. if anything, the costs for us should be GREATLY reduced, and not by buffs, but as an inate reduction. it's really a joke that we can even run out of nano just by casting, melee profs dont run out of sharp edges, ranged profs dont run out of bullets ( unless they're just unprepared ofc) why are we even worried about running out of our main offensive tool?
ok, so I just remembered we can also hit with our deck...that kindof makes PVT a whole lot more interactive at low levels, instead of spending 50% of my time working on regain, I can actually keep doing dmg.
I'm really liking all these changes btw. it looks like the fun just got forcefully injected back into this prof

Will the changes to roots change the stacking order with Rage, or will one of the roots still overwrite an enforcer's raging?
having to press q like some common boob: LAME
all these old school NT Player-named nukes, where is the "Malice of Solstiare?" (20s blind, -500 aad, 80% chance to stun, de-equips & unloads targets weapon, reverses movement controls, flatlines nano pool, puts a 5 damage DOT that has 100% chance to interrupt casting on each tick, swaps swimming speed and runspeed, turns target into a giant purple bronto, 50% resist).
I feel cheated!

AoE 5m only? lol
I tried on a 8m AoE on my unfinished lowbie NTs, if it is 5m, I think I will have trouble trying to pull large amount of non aggro mobs, or perhaps gonna use the new AoE 15m DoT line to pull.... jezzz.

Nvm you were right , I used the OpenOffice to view the spreadsheet. I think it mess up the font, I reopened in MS excel shows 15m.
Actually I think u need to have at least 1 cyberdeck. So the transition from froob NT "upgraded" to sloob NT makes sense and need no IP reset weapon skill. Currently froob NT are given pistol as weapons in newbie island to wear, when they decide to upgrade to SL, they are "force" to IP reset weapon skill due to cyberdeck nukes. :P

I'm not sure how the icon of the nano burst's mk level is going to look in the ncu, but please make it easy to differentiate them from each level
As i see it now in the docs they all look the same, witch is going to make it hard to see at what level i'm at i think.
(i'm sitting here and trying to see how i most effectively build up mk6, based in what order to use what nuke and so on )

I already said something about this. I will definitely make the people in charge aware of this. With the current icons, its going to take forever to memorize, which means a lot of bad days of pvping incoming!
