What If Endorsements Stacked?

If endorsements stacked, what endorsement setup would you use?

Would you triple-stack skill regen and spam away ( * cough * Air Strike * cough * Product Grenade * cough * Charge ) or would you play more honorably?

Currently, an endorsement can only take one spot (gold, silver, or bronze). If they stacked, you could put an endorsement in more than one spot and the effects would build up.

Using some endorsement data for example, let's take the Support's Air Strike recovery time at different Skill Recovery endorsement levels:

Default: 60 secs
Bronze: 48.8 secs (81.3% or -18.7%)
Silver: 44.8 secs (74.7% or -25.3%)
Gold: 40.5 secs (67.5% or -32.5%)

I see it possibly working in two ways.

Method #1 - It builds up geometrically (multiplies)
Triple stacked skill regen => 81.3% x 74.7% x 67.5% = 41% (24.6 secs)
That's an Air Strike ready every 8.2 seconds on Level 3.

Method #2 - It builds up arithmetically (adds)
Triple stacked skill regen => -18.7% + -25.3% + -32.5% = -76.50% (14.1 secs)
That's an Air Strike ready every 4.7 seconds on Level 3.

Note: These would probably break the game beyond imagination.

Me? I'm triple stacking skill regen and spamming Sniper Ice Traps EVERYWHERE around your base.

First thing, no I would not stack anything on my main classes. For Support, I would double stack rate of fire to counter those damned Gunner mortars! /shakefist But the thing about the Ice traps is you can only have as many as the skills level. Meaning level one only allows one out at a time, two allows two, ect.

I'd rather have two armors and a rate on my support. I wanna roll like a tank awwwww yeah.

Skill Regen so I could always hack. What a beautiful world that would be.

Armor, Armor and Armor on an Assassin.

Assault rifle that shoots faster than an minigun. :twisted:

A minigun that I only had to reload every 5 minutes. Insta-reload Jetgun for faster-than-current-gold-shotty deathblossoms.

Sniper Rifle that fires as fast as the SMG. SMG clips empty in under a quarter of a second.
:lol:

Minigun with a reticle the size of the Assault's grenade launcher reticle.

Bombs that recharge faster than the delay to detonate your previous one.

Chain Pain Train. Product Grenades that can be fired before the previous ones cluster bombs have exploded.

Too much accuracy and my bullets go inwards. :?

Reload Speed and I'm a goddamn Heli-Tank.

I would think a triple juice assassin would be the only way to roll for an overtime class. Or triple skill regenerate assault so you can fly like a G6.

6x Skill Regen on Sniper + Flak = oh crap.

Unfair gunner build:

Accuracy
Accuracy/ROF
ROF/Accuracy

assassin: armor, armor, RoF

tank: speed, speed, RoF

gunner: RoF, RoF, RoF


I think it would be totally broken

[Implying the whole thread was a serious suggestion.]

All three speed endorsements for the tank. It'll be like Flight of the Bumblebees only with a beard.

Armor Gold
ROF Silver
ROF Bronze

Assassin

Rape

Seriously? No-one thought of just Critical Shot endorsements?

Wouldn't work.

9% extra critical instead of 5%? With paper thin armor and slow rate of fire? NTY. :roll:

Lolz.

Hang on. Are we talking about stacked Endorsements as in "All Gold Endorsements on one character" or "Having all three endorsements (Gold, Silver and Bronze) on one character"?
