I haven't played since NC 2, but recently capped my APU, after a little PvP fun in VR2, it seems something is bizarrely wrong with things.

There were a couple of guys to fight, some of us died, some of them died, however the moment the only character left was PPU on their side the firing went silent. Why? Well we didn't have a ppu with us to debuff the PPU... realising this we thought there is little point attacking the PPU.

Antibuff (or whatever 3 spells you call it now) are offensive spells!

What was so wrong about APU's having debuff, its a pretty frustrating class to play, to which you accept your going to potentially ie a lot unless your accompanied by a PPU wherever you go.

So as well as having frequency nerfed to hell, you took one of the most important roles from an APU. The power you had at an Op fight with antibuff took away some of the pain of potentially dying so quick.
