The Mass Driver is the only weapon that should be able to do that, as its a crowd control low damage splash, and its a light weapon. Before you say anything, the splash range is very small on the standard level, but going for prototype shooting the ground is far more effective. Last time I checked, the only difference between direct hit damage, and splash damage is 20 HP.

Funny, I thought you liked it both ways. JK - That joke was set up to nicely for me to ignore, even have to put in my login information for that one. Please carry on with your thread, I'm sure much flame and whine will become of it with is always the true mark of a good post in these forums. Peace. Dammit...

Just imagine it, the damage of a Core Flaylock, with the splash radius of a Freedom. I didn't have extensive use of the MD, but my results are: This weapon is fine, as long as you don't encounter shields. Which is why I suggested that they increase a bit the damage to shields and reduce a bit the damage to armor. Just a little, so it won't be completely useless against shields.
Cat Merc BetaMax. CRONOS. 1106	Posted - 2013.05.28 11:57:00 - [5] - Quote People seem to not understand me. I don't encounter many proto flaylock's in pub matches, so it isn't really a problem for me. However, I run the proto flaylock and let me tell ya, its TOO good. I had to check if maybe I was playing in the Academy by some glitch, but no. If it stays as is, alright, I will continue having an awesome weapon in my hands that beats everything.

People always wanna cry i get killed by DTAC i get ran over i get killed by an HMG just shut up and deal with it they shouldn't nerf every weapon because half the players wanna cry when they cant figure out what to do. Heres a hint Flaylock cant hit people in the air well except some of us who aim directly. Do you see the guys beatin ur ass crying about it no IF YOU CANT BEAT EM JOIN EM Oh about splash damage being so strong it makes sense because its such a concentrated blast just like the grenades pay attention.. Every game is a learning experience just because you didn't learn doesn't mean there wasn't a lesson lol butthurt.

Sigh, not reading the entirety of the post. I AM THE ONE USING THE PROTO FLAYLOCK, AND I AM THE ONE THAT GETS THE EASY KILLS. 2.5 meters is not small in any way, considering that with maxed out Flaylock skill you get 3.1 meters. Its EASY.

So I learned to only use the flaylock since it outshines any other sidearm. k?

Any proto fit in pub is going to destroy a lot of the other fits. My main fit is minnie shotgun scout w/ a flaylock, and I normally run adv. I'd say the adv. flaylock is pretty balanced right now, but from the few times I've tried the (AUR) proto flaylock out of curiosity, and from when it's been used against me, you are right, it's pretty ridiculously deadly. Although as a scout I feel like MD & flaylock should be counters to me anyway (splash damage to counter a fast moving shotgunner?), so I'm not entirely sure it's too out of line. But the proto could maybe use some small tweaks to splash damage, and maybe a slightly smaller splash radius. a .5m base jump over the adv. is pretty pronounced, maybe reign it in by a few 0.1's of a meter, and shed a little bit of the splash damage. But definitely NO big changes, I don't think it's that broken, I mean, the 3 round clip is a pretty big handicap. I would say my biggest concern would be that nerfing splash damage might accidentally nerf direct hits as well, as it is now, the flaylock is an awesome combo to my shotgun, I can switch to it and absolutely destroy armor when I need to. So yea, maybe small tweaks, but I'd say really only on the proto level, and nothing too dramatic EDIT: also, yes, please buff mass drivers. They work sometimes (not often) but most of the time it feels like shooting water balloons at mercs No offense but it was incredibly hard to read this post. Just the formatting. What I did get is that you say any proto weapon will do well in a pub. But the thing is, it works amazingly anywhere else, even in PC.

It's range is 2m at proto, max with skills is 2.5 That 0.5m doesn't do much difference. Its still a highly damaging fast projectile that does amazing damage in comparison to skill required to use.

Not to mention that it and the Plasma Cannon are the only weapons that didn't get the 10% buff, so it's already been nerfed, only problem here is that MD's still suck. Barely scratches shields yes. But ******* destroyes armor to a crispy little pulp.

From one side of your face you point out the blast radius as a problem, then from the other side you say .5 doesnt make much difference. You were using it to back your thread until it was pointed out to be inaccurate, then it doesnt matter. Stop being a troll. But I love being a troll :<

Imma gonna make a new ALT, Lav driver (ofcourse), Heavy Suit /check, Fused Nades /check, Plasma Cannon or Mass Driver /check, Flaylock Pistol /check. Lets See how many tears i can get to flow. Ill call it the E-Tears Sports Suit Absolutely F'in hilarious man Every game is a learning experience just because you didn't learn doesn't mean there wasn't a lesson That's the worst line I have ever seen being repeated. I have learned that semi auto rifles combined with turbo controllers and extra damage turn into the type of weapon that gets banned in MLG. But its good because its a learning experience right? -_- P.S, I made this thread as a troll thread, you people keep arguing over something I admitted I don't actually believe in.

I am not saying I dont enjoy a good show of twist em up, but just that it is 60% QQ 30% troll 10% intelligent discussion in here. I do so like intelligent discussion. Trust me, I like the intelligent discussion too, you may go to one of the few threads that aren't a troll one, my TAR thread. And I wish intelligent stuff was more common here, but sadly it isn't.
