I didn't deny that it was OP, just that you're making **** up. I might be biased, but that doesn't change the numbers

So tell us, how many hits did they land on you?

Also, lets just ignore the fact that the OP flaylock failed to kill you thanks to your shields.

OP Weapon < Shields .... H'mmm, Could shields possibly be OP as well, even more than the flay? Now there's some food for thought

would 670 armor have been taken out by a flay magazine?

A MD player uses the flaylock as his primary, and the mass driver as his secondary


Seriously though, I just witnessed this. The player softened me up with the flaylock, then promptly brought out his MD to finish me off after the flay's magazine was dry.

There was absolutely no escaping this explosive noobery

You forgot to mention that he was also wearing a calogi i-win suit to complement the double noob tube

Actually I think he was wearing a scout suit and likely using Kb/m, I could not keep up with his strafes and almost non-existent hitbox to land a decent shot.

Calogi i-win suit says hello with 3 out of 4 low slots being used for CPU/PG enhancement in order to carry halfway decent gear, oh and the 4th slot used for catalyzer in order to run as fast as a default assault but had to pay about a million SP for it

just saw a Scout with dual Flaylocks and 3 Complex Extender and Ferroscale Plates all over (had over 500 shields and over 200 armor as a Minmatar Scout), needless to say he went 30-0. I died 10 times that match, 9 were from that guy's Flaylocks (I dodged 3 of them, but I didn't realize he had a second Core Flaylock), the 10th was from a Sniper Rifle, ...while trying to avoid the Flaylock

Such a sacrifice omg...

Lets do more math.

167(Base shield damage) x 1.25(pro) x 1.30( 3 dmg mods... sort of) = 271.375

Now, if your using an armor suit and/or scout, then... sucks to be you ,but your suits base shields should still be enough to protect you from a 1-HKO, will it leave you pretty much dead? Yup, but you said 1-shot, not 2 shot

So no, a flaylock will never 1 shot you... ever. Unless you're a scout

Just wondering if you get hit directly by the flaylock do you still suffer the splash damage as well?

Unless you're a Gallente logistics...

Worst wepon in the game. The only wepon i really dont care if they nerf till its usless. Because who could even have a pair of balls that uses one?

Enough within a single flay magazine to make my shields hurt real bad. Only got a glance at my health before I got completely annihilated, was a bit busy trying to survive from lolOP flaylock damage.

Glad you admit (or at least don't deny) that the flaylock is OP. That is a step in the right direction for your FA (flaylocks anonymous) recovery.

there must be a whole lot of ostracizing going on. I suppose the whole squads of hellstorm flaylock users dont self ostracize.

People can use whatever weapon they want...no corp or any one has a right to say a darn thing...this is a mercenary business....here we do what it takes to win...and that means using everything..

omg they op last night I ran in too a whole squad use flaylocks not fun bty its bad with just one guy running with 2 core flaylock pop off 6 shots but with 6 all running with 2 each and 2 hmg it a I win button the aoe of the flaylock and the hmg too finsh off whatever the flaylock did not kill it like have 36 pinpoint gernades too lay wast too everything and forget about cover the aoe get you so ccp get that nerf bat out pls

Yeah, its been a tough couple of weeks for me...

Most good MD players will try to soften another player before using their MD. It's usually a flux grenade but sidearms can do it too.

this would make sense if they had a scrambler pistol or smg as a sidearm, lower the shields first, unleash explosive hell. Except the flaylock is also explosive hell, so if he started with the flaylock it would only be because it has better opening burst damage.
