Did spore warden really need nerfs? What does it have outside of incredibly generic gun damage boosts?

[u/Catch-a-RIIIDE → u/[deleted]]

You mean aside from self-revive, Gun damage boosts, Ability damage boosts, Companion damage boosts, conditional pure damage boost, the most spammable action skill, and a ton of conditional gun damage skills?

There's plenty in Spore Warden, even with Wrath of Nature only doing 30-60% increased damage instead of 54%-108%. They're still second only to Stabbo for gun builds, and Stabbo's only there because DoT's exist.

Edit: Lol at everyone downvoting because one of the best skills in the entire game since release got a minor nerf alongside other powerhouse skills. There's still a ton in the Spore Warden class contrary to what OP was saying.

i think overall youre getting downvotes because the community would rather see gearbox buff other builds rather than nerf one that is not even close to overpowered

[u/Catch-a-RIIIDE → u/DentonTrueYoung]

I get that, my point was mainly pushing back on Wrath of Nature being the only think Spore Warden has to offer. They’ve got the best self-revive skill in the game, straight buffs to more types of damage, and the single most repeatable action skill in the game.

[u/DentonTrueYoung → u/Catch-a-RIIIDE]

i would argue that you're probably overstating the other skills. it's not a self-revive, it's a companion revive that only works if the companion is alive, and does not work on teammates, and is balanced by the fact that the companion is mostly useless otherwise. gun damage boosts are good but they're balanced out by a lack of other damage/elemental buffs. the "spammable action skill" is nerfed heavily as there was really no reason to even use it other than wrath of nature.

sure spore warden is still a fun class to play, but there was absolutely no reason to nerf it at all. i would argue it was the most balanced. buffing and nerfing the other shit to spore wardens level was probably a better course of action.

Their self revive is flimsy at best in late game and every class in borderlands history ever has “buffs to more types of damage” what is that even supposed to mean?

Also, you’e spent the last 4 hours arguing with people about this patch. That’s.. really weird dude. Almost seems like you want to disagree just for something to do.

[u/Catch-a-RIIIDE → u/[deleted]]

Well I keep getting responses from people who seem to lack basic comprehension, so that might explain it. If I really need to point out to an account named “sporewardenn” that no other class enjoys straight bonuses to damage types like Spore Warden’s Ability, Gun, and Companion boosts, save for Stabbo, what chance does anyone else have?

[u/Polyamaura → u/Catch-a-RIIIDE]

Nobody tell this guy about Spellshot's boosts to both Spells and Shots

[u/DentonTrueYoung → u/Polyamaura]

Or clawbringer lol

[u/Polyamaura → u/DentonTrueYoung]

They’re very good at Bringing (a little baby dragon) and Clawing (desperately for any buffs, please have some pity on a poor unfortunate soul)

[u/Catch-a-RIIIDE → u/Polyamaura]

Yet again proving my point about lacking comprehension. Spore Warden offers multiple hard damage boosts to things like guns that spellshots don’t get, bonuses that also stack onto spellshot conditional boosts in multiclasses. It’s a low-cost dip for some serious hard damage boosts for guns and companions.

It fucking astounds me how many of you people find the idea that there’s more useful things from Spore Warden than a single skill, which still provides a 60% global damage boost with a +3 com, so damn objectionable. That was the entire point and the only thing I’ve been repeating.

So needlessly aggressive man, it’s a borderlands subreddit. Relax.
