Once you get to your lvl 3 drop suits, you really open the possibilities of adding damage mods.
I know of a lot of the top players that are going straight for lvl 3 or better suits, just for the ability to go Glass Cannon.
With some of the suits, you get the better Shields/Armor on the suit, so players will add the damage mods, but not add a single shield or armor module.
Mass Drivers with 2-3 damage mods with the current broken damage mods can get you not only increased hit damage but increased splash damage.
Lasers on almost ANY suit abuse the damage mods better then just about any other weapons.
HMG with 1 to 2 damage mods on lvl 3 dropsuits or better will be common place soon.
Again look at the threads, what weapons do players consider OP. Begs the question, are opposing players using glass cannons early this beta and new players or regular players just now seeing this?
Id like to see more threads with OP, Nerf etc also discuss Glass Cannons. But I figure a lot of the top players who use this will find ways to not discuss or to throw out the idea.

So lets say I have a MD with 2-3 damage mods on it, you have a regular style player and I see you first. In 1-2 shots either you are close to death or dead. Please tell me how the environment and awareness of the battlefield helps you then?
Better example, two equallly good players go 1vs1.
Player 1 LVL 3 Assault suit. 2 Complex shield extenders and 1 armor rep with no damage mods. Laser rifle weapon.
Players 2 Lvl 3 Assault suit, 2 complex damage mods with a laser.
Players are in open area, nothing to hide behind. Its player vs player.. who wins?
Ill put money on the 2 damage mods over the shields. As the shields are melted off as if they almost did not exist when playing vs a damage modded player. |
