I'm going to start using Blur...

[Remag Div]

... w/ my OP setup and see if I can start getting people to post "Blur is so OP!!" threads.

Lol. I assumed that blur was used for tanks n melee/ cqc (close quarter combat). Thought about changing from overcharge to blur myself....just too addicted to overcharge

[Denim Samurai]

I'm going to start flushing when I'm done in the bathroom. Maybe tomorrow.

If people would just use blur, they would understand. Movement SPD/Melee boost while in blur, plus when shield breaks/recharges.

Add in a brutal synergy shotgun/smg plus a nice brutal RL.

Golden.

I wouldn't say OP, but Blur is pretty powerful.
I love it, yet it's missing a little something to make it perfect. Maybe because I feel the melee boost is useless. Why melee when I can blow their heads off with my Nano Fragger instead ?

I've been tinkering with a melee based blur build with items that snare. (innoculator/spanner trapper/sludge rocket/bio grenade; am I missing some?) However, I have been strugging to find weapons with the right bonuses and melee nanos. I really feel like the damage on the melee isn't high enough for it to be viable or anything more than a troll fringe build. It's hard to justify using it over a shotgun or against a shotgun user.

I feel like the flat 60% increase perk while blur if active is required. What other perks have you guys tried or suggest? I know there are some perks triggered on a melee kill, and I'm not sure how good they would be. What about Intimidation?

Is there a class of weapons better than Infectors to use for melee? It appears to me that they have the best melee damage from skill bonuses, but I dont have everything leveled yet.

I wonder if cloak with the 30% damage is a better option than blur, but thats for a different thread?

[BaiorOfRed]

Do it without using a shotgun and I will believe you have something there.

the only way blur would be OP is because of the speed and perks icnrease speed that will make it hard for the server and other people connections to pick up, its called purpose lagging.
only way to fix it would be to reduce the speed and make it so blur and speed bonus perks dont stack.

dont know if anyone played MAG on the ps3 ?

equipingl ight armor and the run speed perk with a smg you could run circles around people and they wouldnt know you was there because you could run so fast you wouldnt render on peoples screens.

i tested that out of MAG also and i can tell you it was a problem,

so you see its not really blur thats the problem its peoples connections and the server and PC if they play it on the pc or the capability of the console and connectivity to the server.

How bad does my internet need to be to make it so I can't see players who move fast?

To the topic of the thread: speed is good. Positioning is 90% of PvP. I don't think anyone thinks blur is bad. (Or at least I hope no one actually believes that) The only reason blur isn't the current meta-game is that people are still having fun with their sawed off cloak one shots. These ambushes leave the user vulnerable though, and will often lead to their death afterwards.

Once people want to get more than 1 or 2 kills per death, they will realize that speed has a purpose.

I like to jump around the environment when cloak is down... As in onto objects, then off of them, etc.. Not while simply going across flat terrain.. That's suicide 75% of the time.. Especially the noobs who think jumping AWAY from the attacker along flat terrain is helpful.. >.> Too many times I see that happen.. They need to learn to jump towards and over their attacker to disorient them... Jumping away means I only need to aim up to kill you.. Besides I like to use cloak to confuse people while I make my escape.. Run around a corner, cloak, then turn back to run past them..
