Subclass Nodes or Customization?

Nodes (Preset Builds)

2

Customization (Select your builds)

19

Here’s my argument on it: Most people in D1 ran fairly straightforward builds, for example if you had invis on a bladedancer, more than less likely you went full into it. Sunspots on a titan? Put on the sunspot perks. Sunsinger? Typically self res. I am an advocate for the nodes because it just saves me the trouble of having to select the perks that synergize well with each other individually. Here’s my question: For those who select customization, why? I understand the “play my way” argument, but is that really it?

  • Being able to customize allows for just a tad more player freedom. For instance, being able to use Nova Warp with Devour tree, or maybe you want Shoulder Charge on Missile tree for... reasons, I dunno. There's also things like Phoenix Dive being absolutely terrible compared to Icarus Dash, so you obviously want the latter with the bottom tree super if possible. From a development standpoint I do understand why they go that route. Nodes are easier to balance. The problem is we aren't seeing enough of that balancing to justify it.

  • If they can make it so that all the subclass perks are viable, and synergize well no matter what combination you use, then I'd take the D1 subclass layout.
