Hint hint: Core locus grenade

gotta say he has a point.......

I do well as a Gallente armor-tank going up against shield-tankers.

Edit: Hell I don't even armor tank. I just use reps with no shield modules and take people down in pubs. Now PC/CBs are a different thing but then I'm just getting back into the game, so I wouldn't do it regardless.

The Flux install killing people is a glitch from at least Chromosome. It came back in 1.2.

CCP shouldn't balance things because of bugs.

Grenades, and just explosives in general, are done really poorly in this game.

This game would be a lot more fun if all explosives were removed, esp proto nades.

Seriously, most of my kills are starting to come from properly cooked nades. I need nanohives for nades more than I need it for ammo.

Explosives are sooooo easy to abuse.

I'm starting to feel the same way. Hell, I only use the M1 Locust, and I never go into a fight without one. Half of the time it does most of the work for me, if not all of the work for me.

they said they fixed it in the patch notes from 1.3

The thing is, when I flux a shield tanker, they're left with something ridiculous like 115 armor HP that then I can simply kill them with a mean stare.

Almost everything in this game is a 10% increase in power between tiers but nades go from 400 dmg and 6.0 radius to 600 damage and 7.2m radius, its so silly. 10% increase in blast radius, check!, 50% increase in damage from std to pro... lolwtf!?

Fun fact: Shield tankers don't stand a chance against Scrambler Rifles.

heh

Scrambler rifle does 120% to shields.
ALL EXPLOSIVES do 135% to armor.
Grenades.
MD.
Flaylock.

And they have splash radius to counter the slowest race.

Don't complain.

This is supposed to be false. It's supposed to be 120% for each as indicated by the dev blog (1.2 weapon ranges and beyond.) In reality it seems broken eventually CCP will get around to it...I give it 6 months.

Fun fact: Scout users don't stand a chance against Scrambler Rifles.

True.
However, that doesn't change the fact that they use weapons with SPLASH RADIUS against the SLOWEST RACE.
Meaning that there is no way in hell that we can evade even one shot.
A scrambler rifle can miss, a MD can't.

If they both did 120% I think explosives and lasers would be pretty balanced (weapon wise, grenades are kind of their own beast).

If you get in close to an explosive user you cannot run but the best way to fight them is to use range. Outside 20m MD and Flylock are extremely difficult to use without height, if someone is pinging you here on even ground they are just a skilled shot.

Lasers are extreme range, these will rip you to shreds from 50m+. Yes they do take some aim and in close are less of an I win button but are useful in all ranges.

We need grenades to kill heavies and those stacking armor plates,if you are to slow to run away from grenades,it's the penalty you get for having all those hitpoints.Flux and locus are both extremely powerful.
