Helping new players - Bronze Mods

[Sojufueled]

This game is always looking for ways to help the new player experience. One way that seems obvious to me is addressing the extreme disparity between bronze and gold mods. I have 120% IPS mods that, if I am honest, just barely make the cut to use. The bronze version of the same mod is 30%. New players end up using these horrid mods until they learn better (which may be a bit), and they don't even come up to half the value of the standard endgame variant. There are other bronze mods with similarly atrocious values, but these stand out the most. I believe these values need to be increased significantly.

Yes, there are a lot of mods that are not used as they don't provide much utility. 

DE really should look at them, 

Needs an overall mod rework I think.

agreed,they should be bumped up so newer players can use them as a band aid in some builds,namely bleed builds before they can afford the 120% version,which can get expensive for newer players if they have to buy it with plat.

sure basic Physical Mods should all be atleast 60%. that would give a strong enough value to have some use for changing IPS weights before one has the stronger versions as an option.

they'd still be horrible for Damage in general, but that's a different matter.

Unless de changes impact and puncture procs to be better, I can only see the slash ones being used for the bleed procs. Another group of mods I want to mention is elemental resist mods, they are pretty much never used due to adaptation being a thing and most enemies don't even do elemental damage.

I actually considered the toxin one for arbitrations, but yeah.

The one time they were useful, it got nerfed into the ground.
