Very nice changes towards Ares and Vulcan, can't wait to use this combo again

[Dopamine 2,161]

That's a hefty amount of changes, many status augments that were nerfed here will hardly be usable anymore...

Changes to overdrives seem interesting though, glad to see Paladin losing it's Jammer effect.

I am going to have very fun with this.  This is an indirect buff to Engineer.  Welp Time for me to abuse this a bit along with the "nerfed" gauss a bit. XD

Why? The current time is 104 seconds per each supply spawn point. When ever I play with engineer I would choose 2-3 locations on the map to time when the supplies fall so I can make the drone work for me well. I will try to control the battle field from those points of the map and it would help me. With the supply drop box buff I can now choose 4-5 spots to choose my location where I will be attacking from. Therefore a huge buff to my play style.

That's fine. Never liked the concept of them anyway. So its good that they're getting nerfed.

Also I like that their starting to remove status effects from some of the overdrives.

And dictator change is good, less spamming of over drives now.

[itamar-ben-ziv 12]

some good updates some bad ones over all this is a game changer for real

next patch notes please nerf thunder impact and give him more damage he flips me with every thing

one thing said dictator not being a friendly charger makes me sad

good day

[LambSauce 1,884]

Well, at least @Opex-Rah followed through on his promise to nerf some prominent status effect augments. For that I am grateful.

Does it apply for weekly missions too?

I need a confirm. 

Thank you for your answer in advance!

Yes sir.

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

Glad i didn't only use only AP/EMP Status effects even though my garage is a "big boy" .

Now status augments feel like they are barely better or even worse than your average garage augment so i expect them to get buffed next friday. Though nerfing them makes people use their head more just like the old times so its a step in the good direction @Opex-Rah 

I like the changed with Paladin OD not applying jammer it was SUPER annoying when you had Trickster/Booster/Defender and getting near paladin OD for 0,001 sec would remove your extra supply boost.
