So I am curious of the amount of players that are going glass cannon builds and what effect those builds are having on current weapons in Dust 514.
Glass cannon is a common MMO term and archetype, where in the player goes High damage but is also very fragile as they sacrifice armor for damage.
In Dust 514, this is more common then most players and I think CCP understand. Many of the threads over the last month calling for Nerf to this or Nerf to that, have actually been heavily influenced by players going "Glass Cannon Builds", most common over the last month (current Build) Laser with 2-3 Complex damage mods, HMG 2 Complex Damage Mods, Mass Driver 203 Complex Damage mods. As players get better Drop suits and have the ability to add more damage mods the higher the damage and faster the kills.
But these same players that go Glass Cannon, they have a weakness to exploit. They have no shields on, they never run with armor and if you can get them before they get you they are easily killed.
But forum posters need to keep this in mind with Nerf Threads rampant around the forums. Not everyone is playing the same game you are. |

I will agree, but as players get better the Glass Cannon will be used more and more.
The reason for my post is to point out that threads that want nerfs for weapons need to keep this in mind.
Most of the rants about weapons have been about "pro" players using Glass Cannons as a way to get higher K/D and more WP.
I went from a 1.50 K/D to a 2.0 in 3 days going from a normal build (2 Complex shield mods) to two damage mods glass cannon and this game became way to easy.
Also the damage mods are currently broken, instead of giving reduced damage from the 2nd and 3rd mods they give a full 10%, if this gets changed we might see less Glass Cannons and better fights, should also see reduced nerf threads. |

Since the flattening of damage glass cannon builds aren't as viable with maybe a few exceptions.
Those same exceptions are the same weapons that players are calling for Nerfs, coincidence ??
Lasers, HMG, MD, Shotgun are all easily and often glass cannon builds. |
