Okay now before anyone goes nerd rage mode "HURRR OMG SHOTGUN IS ALREADY OP" , please hear me out. (And don't forget how crappy this gun is at a long range)
I use a shotgun almost all the time except when I use my logisuit, And it works well in almost every situation except against heavies. Currently, I can use all advanced tier gear be and fire 4 shots, point blank, with damage mods, into a militia heavy. At that point I'm dead because they unloaded their HMG into me.
The shotgun really should excel in wrecking armor and I understand that heavies still should be a 2 or 3 shot, but getting 4 shots in, point blank, with damage mods, and getting only their armor only 2/3rds down is kinda screwy.
I still believe a Advanced heavy against someone using an Advanced assault + shotgun setup should win in 1v1.
Basically what I'm asking is for shotguns to do less damage to shields and WAY more damage to armor. Another place this makes sense is against LAVs. I can unload 16 shots into an LAV and have their armor down only halfway. Oh and don't forget it was point blank. Oh and I had damage mods. Oh and it was the free Militia LAV with nothing special.
Anyways I hope my point was proven. Would love to see some feedback why I am or I'm not correct and possibly some fellow shotgunners will post and give some other pointers on how to balance it! |

Not really, heavies are just like any class except AR. If you wanna be good with it you gotta pay ISK for a decent suit and weapon |

And I'm not necessarily talking about any heavies using good fititngs. I'm talking about suits that cost them ~5,000 ISK or less |

I understand how slow and how much armor they have. It's a matter of balance.
Please consider the following:
Militia Assault class VS. Militia Assault class: We all know this boils down on skill and where one is related to the other
BUT
Advanced Assault class VS. Militia Assault class: Advanced will almost allways win even if the Militia is better at the game or has some sort of advantage. Please note this also takes into account that the Advanced player is almost always going to be more skilled at the game
This same theme should follow along with all classes versus all classes(except maybe snipers at a long range)
BUT
As I've pointed out heavies break this theme. Also, please note I'm mostly talking about heavies using HMGs(I don't really have a problem with getting killed by someone using a forge gun)
The only real chance a shotgunner has, at any level of fitting, against any heavy is if they are in a group and the heavy doesn't go after the shotgunner or in a 1v1 situation if the shotgunner gets behind the heavy and is able to get 2 or 3 shots in before he can turn around
inb4 "step yo game up foo"
Anyways, I'm probably too stupid, incompetent or something else(Making fun of myself so you don't have to) |
