So, since the Flaylock was pummeled with the nerfbat, how about we take it's bludgeoned corpse and rebuild it into something useful?
I was thinking a true AV sidearm. Since clones are made of squishy meat, rather than hard armor, the missiles will cause damage when they hit, but will not detonate.
So,
-Buff, nerf, or don't change the current anti-personnel damage. Doesn't matter in this case. Clones will essentially be getting hist with a sub-sonic, inert slug.
-Remove splash damage from direct hits on clones or terrain.
-Increase projectile range (to approx 100m)
THEN,
-Apply AV damage. I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-700 for basic (about half the dam of an AV grenade).
-Return the old knockback against dropships.
Now you've got something to at least discourage a DS/HAV, while not being OP against either vehicles or infantry.
Thoughts? |

Then stop harassing people on narrow ledges. :P
Right now it's barely a tickle. The knock back is almost more important than a damage buff. Without sufficient knockback, the ADS's missiles will always kill the clone first. |

Right, thank you for your thorough, well-cited opinion.  |

Give infantry hardeners and make it so they can cut and run as fast as vehicles and you've got a deal. |

Sure, as long as infantry can jump on vehicles without sliding off. |
