Sounds like you already tried. If he already said "no," then consistently would probably only irritate him.

I wouldn't recommend that. From what I heard, poking him would just make him a turtle.

The fact you guys know what an AC is makes me happy, not gonna lie. That being said, they don't have to actually be giant. I'm thinking along the lines of, you know, Nineball. Except 8-to-10 feet tall.

Alright, updated OP. You know, it doesn't just have to be me asking questions. If you have any questions about TiTs that would derail another thread or would just be too much to make a new thread for, feel free to ask and hope people answer.

And I'm trying to find the reason behind why that is, exactly. Something I'll have to ask Fenoxo, according to Savin, but I really don't want to PM or summon him if this is a touchy subject. I'm also still firmly in the "Offensive and Defensive" camp, but again, just me.

Do keep in mind, I'm talking about the themes of the perk trees and how perks fit that theme, not its take on gameplay.

I'm only saying your statement was harsh because of the "stupid" part, but you're still right; short of the initial perk, the rest have absolutely nothing to do with drones, something I'm sure choir's been singing. Truth be told, the Shield theme barely it makes on account it has three perks on...

That's the point I'm trying to make, though less harsh. You've probably misread somewhere; maybe not; but if you go onto the wiki and look at the specializations for Techies, they're currently Offensive and Defensive. Jacques wants to change it to Drone and Shield specialization because that's...

You're still picking drone perks from the Drone specialization, though, regardless of whether you deviate or not. For example, if I picked a Ranged perk for the Mercenary, but then suddenly picked a Melee perk for whatever reason, it wouldn't change the fact that those perks came from the...

Well, to be fair, changing the theme names to "Drones" and "Shields" instead of "Offensive" and "Defensive" wouldn't be much of a difference, considering current perk tree. While the consensus has already decided for "Drones and "Shields," I'd like to believe "Offensive and Defensive" is better...

Ah, that explains it. That haze in my head is gone. Actually, nevermind. Got the answer, myself.

So, basically, you designed Techs as you saw them, unaware of the coming two-column perk selection; said selection came in, and Fenoxo all but redesigned the class. Did I get that right? And you don't know why he designed Techs this way?

Could you elaborate on this sentence? Something about it bothers me.

In terms of just shielding, you'd be right. However, the barrier wouldn't just block damage; it'd block stuns, grapples, and any other physical debuffs. Blindness could still be a thing. Thing is, until the barrier is destroyed or the drone overheats, Steele, for all intents and purposes, is...

Made an update. Check OP for revelations.

Just asking for clarification: Are you saying that originally you could only stick to one specialization?

Okay, I should've added this to my "Eureka" post, but @Savin, you said the idea behind Techies were Shields and Drones, right? Well, I just have to ask, since it was all alluding to this one question: What, exactly, happened? Considering that Mercenaries have shields, too, I think that's a...

I figured Techies would have had to be the first class. When I look at them, it feels like looking at a prototype class, no offense.

Hold on, now, while I do agree those names doesn't make entire sense, the same could be said for Drone Tech and Shield Tech. Mercenaries have the Close-Quarters and Range Fighter themes. Their implications cannot get any simpler short of calling it Melee and Ranged. And if you look at the...

But, see, here's the thing: Someone went and put down the Specialization Themes not just for Techies, but for Mercies and Smuggies as well. Unless someone just decided to just create specialization names on the wiki for fun, the themes "Offensive and Defensive" implied there was a different...
