Rush Inamras PiZzA DuDeS 25	Posted - 2013.11.08 03:27:00 - [1] - Quote So I'm still using the flaylock, I'm getting better with it and it's starting to kick ass again, but it's a strange weapon. when fully upgraded there's only one proto-level flaylock pistol to mess around with and eehhh I'm currently on Operation lvl3 and i dunno if a 25% increase will make it kick that much more ass, or even if lvl 5 proficiency will make it even nicer... it's either continue into this or try out the mass drivers more, or hell...why not max out both the mass driver AAANND the flaylock? I WOULD BE KING OF EXPLOSIONS

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 724	Posted - 2013.11.08 03:30:00 - [3] - Quote Join the party. MDs are godlike once you get at least prof 3. Not sure about flaylocks though. I'm almost done skilling into them, so I'll get back to you on that in a few days. There there Mr. Scout and Ms. Heavy, don't cry You'll still be useful in my eyes

Rush Inamras PiZzA DuDeS 25	Posted - 2013.11.08 03:51:00 - [5] - Quote I'm taking notes from you guys, this is sounding like a very fruitful venture, cus sometimes I just want to blow ** up...if not all the time! I would like to say I use a lot of the precision weapons (glu 5 and scrambler rifles, sniper rifles,pistol, etc) but I also use the flaylock quite a bit and like to blow people to smithers, especially when a group of players try to move in a concentrated group and I hear that's where mass drivers come in . sometimes a precision weapon or even assault wont cut it, so yeah I really want to skill into this Mad Bomber thing, seems like a ** ton of fun and possibly super effective.

Will an Caldari Assault suffice for now? I do have a couple Amarr and I am skilling into them but not near the logi's yet :/

I just said Amarr logistics because they have sidearms and multiple equipment. And dual tank almost as well as the minmatar logis There there Mr. Scout and Ms. Heavy, don't cry You'll still be useful in my eyes

I WOULD BE KING OF EXPLOSIONS Well the proto flaylock is about 2x better than the advanced. Its the only one I can use now.
Duran Lex Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 386	Posted - 2013.11.08 04:14:00 - [9] - Quote MD is worth it. Flaylock is not. They nerfed the FL too deep into the ground. If they wanted to reduce the splash damage by that much, they needed to increase the missile speed so the gun can actually pull off direct hits. But alas, this is CCP and it's not an AR, so they decided to say **** it.

I WOULD BE KING OF EXPLOSIONS What they did with the flaylock is they nerfed it to make the proto flaylocks splash radius just a bit better than the ADV flaylock was before, and the ADV flaylock WAS very usable, However for the damage the flaylock was nerfed by 25%, meaning when you NOW equip damage mods& proficiency 5, the damage is just about the same as the proto flaylock was before WITHOUT damage mods & proficiencys. So basically, your maxed out flaylock will be doing 240 or so base damage per shot,with a usable 1.75m radius. So it IS still very usable, However to compete with the freedom MD, requires proficiency 5 and 3 damage mods, and ends up 2 shot splash killing starter fits 3-4 shot killing proto mediums or heavies,5-6 shotting hybrid tanked protos and stronger heavies. NOW the freedom MD with proficiency 5 3 dmg mods does around 220 base damage, with a much wider radius and longer range. This GENERALLY makes the MD more usable. As a result of this competition from the MD, the flaylock requires the minmatar MK.0 assault suit, proficiency 5, 3 damage mods, and dual flaylocks to be exceptionally great. Now IF YOU DO have all those requirements met, NO ONE will reliably defeat you at close range, period. You'll rip heavies and fully hybrid tanked caldari logis apart with your EXTREMELY high DPS and 8 shots before you reload. The flaylock can still be extremely good. It got nerfed because when it used to have these requirements, it was doing over 350 damage a shot(splash), and with the fire rate, nothing else in the game came even close. Though thankfully only 2 or 3 people ever used flaylocks like that, to their max potential.

Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 1237	Posted - 2013.11.08 05:21:00 - [11] - Quote I have a MD/Flay build for tabletops, catwalks, etc. Gotta have Proficiency on the Flays. Otherwise, they nerfed the fun out of them. 15% bigger splash from 15% additional damage is a MF on the already badass MDs. (2 MDs on a Commando on that ledge over the objective on the Crack map in Domination is area denial and explosive fun at its finest.) Cheeseburgers.
Sgt Kirk SyNergy Gaming EoN. 2651	Posted - 2013.11.08 05:48:00 - [12] - Quote Flaylock is still good imo. Of course I use it as a weapon to finish people off I get the feeling other people try to use it as a main weapon. Depends on your play-style in the end like most things in this game. The newer the berry the dumber the juice.
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 4989	Posted - 2013.11.08 05:50:00 - [13] - Quote You should ask CEOPyrex for his opinion on it. He seems to be God with those things. CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.
Dengar Skirata the third day Public Disorder. 18	Posted - 2013.11.08 06:33:00 - [14] - Quote I have considered going all out on flaylocks, with every flaylock skill maxed out. However, I decided to wait until we have the rest of the sidearms in the game (ie. Ion pistol, bolt pistol, MAGSEC SMG). Once those are released, I will choose one sidearm to get REALLY good with.
DEZKA DIABLO Unkn0wn Killers 9	Posted - 2013.11.08 06:35:00 - [15] - Quote I rocked dual cores about a mOnth ago with flux nades an 2x complex damage mods with proficiency 3 an got games over 15 kills first three matches, I'd say it's good
Viktor Hadah Jr Negative-Impact Cult of War 931	Posted - 2013.11.08 06:43:00 - [16] - Quote Flaylock is an okay weapon, i would not go prof over lvl 3 those. I would go as far as saying the flaylock is a good weapon for the amount of PG and CPU it consumed is very lowed compared to it's other sidearm counter parts. for that reason it is a good sidearm. For the Empire! Well fuck me i can say fuck in my sig, who knew?

GRIM GEAR Isuuaya Tactical Caldari State 29	Posted - 2013.11.08 08:00:00 - [18] - Quote yeah man so worth the extra damage as long as your a good aim it's definitely a valid way to spend some skill points.

Hmm that is also a good point, I just made a mass driver/flaylock fit and i have a considerable amount of space left. and that is sometimes true, hard to hit fast swerving targets with a flaylock, but its good for heavies, and anything that's not so fast, specially when they are hacking something or sniping (wish they would increase the travel speed of the missiles) ...but all that said, this fit is working better than i thought it would and im only using a standard MD and adv flaylock.
