I run double reg gunnis .... I can smell the fanmail already.



I feel sorry for all the drugar pilots that are going to have to learn to drive.

So in reality, no, this change won't have any sizable impact on a gunnies performance tank to tank. They will however be good against AV, same as before. As most forms of AV, minus the plasma cannon, do less damage to shields. But with your lower HP totals, increased sweet spot damage, and now more forms of damage (ie all explosives) to watch out for, I'm afraid it will be worse for the gunnie, not better.

The best you could hope for in a gunnie is that with the extra forms of AV will keep the maddies at bay. While the extra forms of AV will affect a gunnie to a lesser extent, in the end it will still have a further negative impact on their performance.

What's the damage threshold for regen on gunnies?

You are just DRIPPING with bias.

But like I said a decrease to range would call for a buff in some other area. And it doesn't even have to be all forge guns. Things like the breach or the regular forge gun can keep that range.

But the assault variant needs to come down in range. It's already the most powerful of all forge guns with no drawbacks in comparison to the other variants (unable to hold a charge isn't really a draw back from my experience).

A reduction to range would make the other variants more appealing (breach get more range for long charge times?). Your standard variant and breach are long range area denial weapons, while the assault would be your short range area denial/destruction variant.

Honestly though, in your quest to destroy vehicles, I feel you are neglecting your own bias for the forge gun. My balancing rule of thumb is to gain you must lose.

So a weapon should not have long range and high dps. As range increases, dps should go down. This is evident in the breach, but it lacks what it really needs, more range. The assault is like the converse, same range but MORE dps. Why?

great questions, the breach should have more range. later topic.

Not positive, but it's low enough that a pro blaster will still stop regen with 2 hards up. Meaning a freedom mass driver should be sufficient to stop regen as it does more damage per shot over the blaster. I suspect as well a flaylock pistol will have enough power to stop shield regen as well.

But it would be nice to know the exact threshold number.

With explosives being -20 vs Shields, I'm not sure a MD will stop the regen unless it's a BMD.

Is that the Breach or the Freedom?

I have 17 HAV fits, 60m+ sp into HAV, and have been here since the beginning.
So please just don't.

I'm telling you what I have seen with my own eyes. The boosters do jack under fire except kickstart regen (with hardener up they do a full cycle but are basic lights sooo....)
Without dual regs I do NOT experience same shield effect.

Have stood my ground on turrets many a time.
Killed many rail tanks. (I'm known to put neutrons on gunnis..)
Have NEVER been a rail nor redline tanker...

Out of those 17 fits ... 2 are madrugars... I run gunni in current build, often. Exactly ZERO other fits perform like the dual regger. I don't get you man.. We got a problem idk about?

With dual regs, activating a booster seems to make shield continue to regen under fire till regen rate gets defeated. Without I cannot duplicate.

*shrug*

Oh wow. I just realized how much potential tegen can happen between forge shots on a gunnlogi.

This could get ugly quickly.
