Only played this for a weekish now, some praises/questions
Sambojin:
Didn't actually cross my mind that it'd be used for 0.1 second waiting (which it would). I completely retract my statement on that as a nerf.
Actually, watching your Let's Play made me realize how rarely I use gift-dropping and waiting in comparison to other players. I do use it, but only to clear a room or two in a tricky situation, not as an extensive tool. I'll have to start doing so. I don't have too much of a problem getting a few wins on UV, but it looks like my win % will go up drastically if I used it more often.
I'll agree that there's plenty of powerful traits, even very versatile ones, but that shows a good levelup system at work. Even "lesser" traits are often just a step on the road to something very powerful or synergistic to a build. I guess my thoughts on Juggler are based on my playstyle. I'm not very cautious and have been known to play rather drunk (and thus not strategizing well or at all). Then Juggler is an absolute lifesaver. It allows you to be slightly more oblivious to game mechanics and obvious situations that should be used to your advantage yet still come out on top.
Thiebs:
I'm not in favor of a Juggler nerf, either. But should such a thing happen, it'd be more realistic and less game-breaking to just make it not be a free reload between guns of the same type. You'd still get more time between reloads by being able to switch to different type guns, but being able to juggle shotties to get better reload speeds than a dedicated shotty build (with fewer perks) makes the early-to-mid very easy compared to some other builds, and doesn't really do too much to nerf later-game use, since you don't spam shotty blasts carelessly so much against later enemies, and have a wider variety of weapons to switch to, anyway.
Again, I like Juggler the way it is. Even the reload thing isn't really that good, since it's use wears out quickly as the game progresses, so I don't feel it's broken, especially not compared to Vampire and it's ilk. Just food for thought.
