I know that it’s a rarity for my emo to get a lemon scoop at all on the higher level forums (27+) even at 35 in a purely offensive build. Perhaps the overall damage loss modifier could be toned down in favor of powering up the standard base power?

And really, what is with Camwhores getting their best 2 skills with only 1 refresh? And both have more base power than the best emo skill, Everybody Hurts, which only has a base power of 200? When even shock sites has that and a refresh of 1 (not to mention that they also get political flamebait) Emo is the only class without a 300 power skill barring the permanoob, and it’s just silly to suggest that we should utilize our lower HP damage increase. It takes too many turns to efficiently hurt yourself to be considered for speedruns.

I know there is likely a camwhore justification in that they have less sexiness than an emo does tears, but with the advent of both books and surgeries, there is no need for consumables anyways.

tl;dr: Emos need balance kthx.

Frankly, though, I don’t feel like I have the power of a Camwhore, who can self-heal, shrug off attacks with ease, and then destroy a forum as fast as you can click her two best abilities.

I noticed things like the Endopatch and the early camwhore skill Work It, and it made me wonder if we’re going to see more standard MMO fare in Episode 3: DoTs, HoTs, Buffs, Debuffs, things like that. It would make sense for a Hacker to be a Debuff monster, given that trolls can buff, camwhores selfheal, and Emo kids get their own funky mechanics.

If Emo Kids are complaining about not being able to speedrun forums, how about a cheap self-mutilation surgery or Unequippable Item that starts them at half health?
