(who runs low armor builds in PvP?). .
Just for the hell of it, I jumped into Trials a couple weekends ago with my Bladedancer (who I've barely used since TTK) and speced for max agility and recovery. My armor stat was as low as it could possibly go. I equipped Mida and a shotgun with Battlerunner. And it was AWESOME :DI think I've got a video saved. I'll try and dig it up. Certainly made me reconsider my usual "max armor all the time" rule.
I wish I could do this for Titans. I feel like with everything you just did that a titan would go from a walk to a slow trot.
Defender titan with max agility + titan skating + shotgun + No backup plans = SO MUCH FUN! Learning to Titan Skate properly is really tough (I'm only about half way there myself) but once you get the hang of it, you can come barrelling in at enemies way faster than they expect. Score a quick shotgun kill, get an overshield, titan skate to safety :)

- Not really. Stability tightens the bolts, which is my issue. -
Funkmon,
2016-04-06, 16:50
- Range actually tightens spread on FRs. -
Cody Miller,
2016-04-06, 17:02
- Stability is the primary spread reducer currently. -
Funkmon,
2016-04-06, 17:07

- FR Range stat seems pretty important to me - CruelLEGACEY, 2016-04-06, 18:33

- Velocity AND spread. Look it up. -

- Uh huh. How about a source link? - Ragashingo, 2016-04-06, 19:03
- Yep. Cody, as usual, has no idea what he is talking about.
- That theory could be tested pretty easily... - Mariachi, 2016-04-07, 12:00
