If anyone flames you for pointing out the truth they do not deserve to be on this forum. They can whine to each other about how an overpowered weapon was nerfed or an easy enemy is buffed to be as difficult as it should have been to begin with.

{Low = +1, Medium = +2, High = +3, Very High = +4, Ultra = +5, Max = +6; Low + Low = Medium, etc.}

Yes, generic bonuses are supposed to give less than specific bonuses in the scenario where the specific is supposed to be more useful than the generic; Chromalisk lines giving +4 family for the 5* set while Skolver gives +4 for swords in general is not fair because the Chromalisk line only uses that +4 in three of eighteen scenarios (three weapon times by six families for eighteen scenarios; gives the bonus to each of the weapons for only one family) while the generic sword bonus works in six of eighteen scenarios (one weapon type by all six families). If I were going to whine I would roll around about how Wolver lines should have the bonus reduced to +2 for the set instead of +4, but that is not the case here.

Family bonus equipment in general at 5* should give an accumulative +6 family bonus for having both parts so long as no other offensive bonus is part of the item: Dragon Scale, Volcanic Salamander, Valkyrie, Radiant Silvermail (since this is not part of a duo it would give +3 family bonus alone), Deadly Virulisk, Arcane Salamander (since both parts give +1 for two different families both would give +2 for opposite families; the helmet would give +2 slime or beast, the other +1, while the armor has the opposite). Notice in Deadshot it gives +4 family bonus and +2 gun speed for the set instead of +4 gun speed as seen in Nameless and Justifier sets. If having the family bonus sets raised to +6 for having both parts active and the generic weapon sets maintained at +4 bonus for their specific weapon, the family bonus sets would have greater effectiveness in its own niche:

Dragon Scale (+6 beast bonus): 3 weapon types * 1 family * 6 damage bonus = 18

Skolver (+4 sword bonus): 1 weapon type * 6 families * 4 damage bonus = 24

If a fourth weapon type were created it would be balanced equally.

Nerfing/retaining everything would be counterproductive and make people who are already whining whine even more; even if they deserve a kick, rattling cages unwarranted does not solve the cannibal in the closet. There is a cannibal in my closet. He refuses to pay his rent. There is going to be one less cannibal in my closet come tomorrow morning. Disregard any sign of rigor mortis on him, he is probably going to be exhausted after we go out for drinks tonight.

Let it begin.

It is continuing.

This slaps me on the knee.
