Repair is OP

[RandomMoped]

I seem to be the only person that thinks that this enchantment needs a nerf. This enchantment makes tools give it limitless. Sure the IC2 tools do this but at least they require some maintenance and don`t have special abilities. The only downfall to using a TC3 tool with repair is the possibility for wisps to attack you, but they`re easily defeated with a lightning wand. Thoughts?

 

[Captain Neckbeard]

Thoughts?

I can't tell if you're trolling or just really bad at IC2.

If you're thinking nano sabers and mining lasers, their extremely tough to get seeing as you need at least 4 iridium before you can get a matter fab for the saber, and for the laser the helium cells are ridiculous to get.

If you were talking about maintenance, lappacks and such still need to be recharged every so often and take your chest plate slot

So Gregtech but no Gravisuite, then?

Unless something changed you dont need a matter fabiractor to make a saber. Though GT hard you do need the iridium which can take time.

So maybe don't put repair on your tools? Is that so difficult?

No you don't understand players have no self control and if there is an easy or op way to do something that is the only way it can be done otherwise your doing it wrong.

this op, that op... when playing ssp YOU choose whats op or not, don't like don't use it, this is also a sandbox, you are not forced to do anything you don't want to.

ps: try getting repair, is pretty hard to get it, and if you do, to repair your tool you need to use vis, what the end lacks, what the nether doesn't replenish, and what the overwold has finite amounts of it.

It's not like it isn't easy to make an xp trap, even without soul shards.

The instant I find a zombie or skeleton spawner I spend 20mins making a mobavator drop xp trap. Sure it's a waste of time sitting there waiting on mobs to drop before tossing a splash healing potion on them but seeing as you can greatly extend the life of any tool with an anvil, it is well worth it.
Yes they can be automated but I don't do that personally.
Even on vanilla smp I found 3 spawners close enough together to make an xp trap(2 zombie 1 skeleton) and it was nothing for me to completely remake all my armor and tools after stupidly pushing myself into lava while mining obsidian.

I have yet to get repair on my pickaxe of the core and it hasn't hampered me in the least bit and when it gets low I just make a new one and transfer the enchants over to the new one, not a big deal with xp so easy to get even without any mods.

I partially agree with Repair enchant little bit too powerful, but thing is you can get max Repair II (if i am not mistaken), which will repair 2 points of damage each 4s, which in my opinion is not great speed. You need to have the item in your hotbar, or equiped.

When it drops really low, you need to wait a long time to get them fully repaired. It's "equivalevt" of IC2 Saber/Laser, where you need to charge it - but they are charging much faster.

About getting repair enchant: I spend 50x 30levels on getting one Repair enchant on my book, it was a pain. Maybe if some "best" repairs were not be able to store in book form, it will make it even more rare and it will somewhat balance getting enchant and it's function.

I agree with you about the fact that as it stands, TC tools are atm more powerful than IC tools.

However, In moderns days of bores and quarries and turtles, I doubt that it's got as much of an impact as you think it has. It's more of a convenience, really.

For someone that does like almost all of there ore collection via caving repair is a god send to me.

Dont have it on any tools yet. Been sort of side tracked with some other gaming.

But rest asured I will be all over repair since I hate using quarries and only sometimes use the IC2 miner like 99% of my ore is all got form running around inside caves punching creepers in the face for fun and profit.

Me too!

Honestly though, repair removes the 30 seconds it takes for me to step trough my portal, slap my pick and a diamond in the uncrafting table, and going back. It's convenience I tell you.

Heck, efficiency saves much more time than repair ever will.

i use an enderpouch that crafts an unlimited number of stone tools. And just carry a couple of diamonds tools on me. Use the stone for everything that I can. Saves me a lot of time going back for more tools.

I don't think it's OP, it makes perfect sense to me when playing a magic mod. Instead of recharging the mining drill with EU, you repair the pickaxe with aura/vis. And magic is supposed to be a bit "OP", at least in my mind.

 

[Abdiel]

After seeing what prolonged use of a repair pickaxe did to my aura, I switched back to electric tools.

Remember, wisps are only temporary, there will be more permanent effects of high flux in future versions of TC.

I only use my Repair+Fortune axe for blocks that the Fortune gives a benefit on. I was vaguely aware that it would use some aura, but I didn't know it generated flux as well.

 

[Bibble]

As far as I can tell, flux is generated by a change in the aura (and by dumping things in it, obviously). Which is why you can cause flux away from your home node, if that node is feeding yours.

 

[OmegaJasam]

Vis is suprisingly finate, can result in large numbers of hostile mobs, and the repair can be outspeed by your mining speed.

The Modular powersuits tool has enough charge to last a VERY long time without needing multple items.
IC2 tools are cheap to recharge.

Honestly, having two tools and an ender poch to recharge them would top repair by miles.

And by the time you GET repair, you can have quarrys in some other modes.

Honestly, the tools are /very/ nice, and honestly, I don't see the point in taking 2-3 seconds to recharge your tools compared to auto-repair (with consequences)

 

[ShneekeyTheLost]

Yea, I'm not seeing Repair as OP when you compare it to IC2 or MPS. It's only something that can go on Thaumcraft tools (either Thaumium or the improved ones), so you have to do some progressing through the research tree to get to it.
