Mod "underclocking"

[TheGambler_BR]

Are your mods too powerful for your puny non-five-times-forma'd weapon?

Do you need to slap a serration mod so your grataka stops tickling enemies, but can't because you already filled it up with elemental mods?

 

Fear no more, for mod underclocking is here!

 

With it, you can simply reduce the power of a mod temporarily, as if it weren't even upgraded in the first place, without losing any ranks in it!

 

Mod underclocking would enable one to max their mods at will (which is time and resource consuming), and tinker with them, allowing for better flexibility in builds ("should I take an extra rank of vital sense or hellfire?").

Has already been discussed many times; It was even brought up in the Livestream.

My first thought when reading your post was "Can't fit serration because of elemental mods...whaaaaaaaat?"

 

On a more serious note, this has been talked about in live stream 6 I think. It will be happening but who knows when. Dojo fixes and rebalancing frames are all happening in U9 so maybe we'll see it then.

Underclocking. Brilliant.

Heya,

 

This is still on Steve's desk, but received a lower priority in the light of recent, more pressing issues. Not forgotten, just temporarily shelved!
