Is mine a new meta?

Heh, it'd kill me exactly 3 times. Although, when you think about it, I'm not sure how that helps me or you

 

And he had a range perk on there to go with the 3 dmg perks so that wasn't even max potential dmg on that mine. Damn.

 

Was this a t4 legendary or something

 

T5 epic

 

Hard to see how that's even possible lol I thought they hit like 4.5k max

 

It is all as I say I went to the replay to rewatch and make sure of what had happened.

 

I have a legendary lvl 8 with 2 epic dmg perks and an epic range perk that does 3039 dmg. Lvl 10 would do 3113. T5 epic mines are brutal. Feel like I've been encountering a lot of them lately. I have 8k+ HP on my shooter but one hit/splash from one of those and I am nearly sunk. Kind of bummed I scrapped all of mine after getting the legendary.

 

According to the handy spreadsheet someone made:

E40: 62.65%
L10: 63.83%
L20: 72.87%
E50: 76.17%
L30: 81.92%

(all numbers in percent of weapon max)

 

What da

 

One reason shooters and fixers are using more mines now are because of an increase in the number of yellow boats on the bay now. The shield doesn't protect against a mine (have seen people try though, lol), so it's an easy counter to the OP enforcer with double shields (and probably mines). As a fixer, I've always carried mines to protect myself from that pesky speeder that wants to kill me in the first 10 seconds of the game. At 3.4k damage (level 40 epic), they are very effective. Instead of nerfing mines, stop yellow boats from using them, they're the ones that make mines toxic

 

I’d say just make the range a little less, enforcers just scoot up and toss them into/behind the enemy group! A fixer is bound to accidentally stumble into one

 

I like the max allowance dropped idea. 5 max before original blows up.

 

With all the cooldown talents on you can deploy a mine every 12 seconds, and they only last a minute before they self detonate.
Wish granted eh?

 

Lol shows I don’t use mines, ok nerf the little balls of destruction damage then

 

Nah mines are fine

 

As much as I hate to agree with this statement, he's right.
We all have to pay a little more attention to where we are going...

 

A I the only one who thinks they should let us be able to tell friendly mines from enemy ones? With these things becoming more and more prevalent,y ou can honestly get into a situation where you turn a corner on a damn minefield with no way of telling which belong to your team.

 

I'd like to see a small green arrow above friendly mines. Something not too easy to spot so you really have to pay attention. Same for torpedoes.

 

I'm with you and I drive a speeder... the natural prey of mines *sigh*. The only thing that was starting to alarm me is for a bit there I was starting to see a fair number of matches where it was more like "giant mine fields" than "some mines". If that meta proliferated then the bay would become unnavigable and something would need to be done.

 

Same here. I never saw that many mines on bay in last 10 months. It largely comes down to meta shift to enforcers and shooters. People are getting epics and Legendaries. I don't mind occasional mines or even 1 mine user but now 4 or 3 of 5 have mines. Some areas are virtually unpassable for majority of match.
As there was no solution for frost they had to nerf it. I think same fate should be served either shift meta and make other weapons poweful or make mines useless enough so limited numbers use them.
