Why... purpose defeated

I saw something sad today... a defender had less health than a shooter... defenders are supposed to have 8000 or even 10,000 HP at mk5.. but nevertheless.. they are never supposed to have less health than a shooter, even if it is 1mk higher..
Why do people not understand... only use defender if you have right stuff...
#SaveDefender ( even though I don't really like defender.)

 

I had a defender friend that ran 3 bandages and stayed back with 3 snipers. He would occasionally get matched with shooters that had more hp but he would do pretty good usually. He quit now for obvious reasons but not sure if he ever switched to a different ship after defender got so neglected

 

My Shooter frequently has the same HP as MK6 Defenders in my matches, and I think it's due to running one or multiple Bandages. I don't know what they are thinking running 8-9k HP then charging as if it is a tank, but sometimes they actually do last long enough.

 

I'm one of those defenders who used to run triple bandages, and I rocked in ace 2 many months back despite having same hp as shooters. You just need to know how to hide and regenerate and not get flanked. But now in ace 1, its suicidal to go multiple bandages, they just don't heal fast enough anymore. So now I have 3 shields with 1 bandage, mk6 with 14.7k hp.

 

Yeah but defenders should have around 8000 HP at mk5. Closer to 9000 really.

What is the point of running defender if you don't got no health?

 

FTFY.

 

When you try to play all fancy defender setups with lubes, bandages and rudders, this what happens.

 

I'm mk5 with turbo, big shield, and two standard shields, and even like this, I see shooters higher hp than me sometimes. Shooters need an hp nerf.

 

I blame Shooters, with their Mary Sue hp, defence, speed, and amount of weapons.

#Nerf Shooter

 

I saw multiple 10k hp mk6 shooters (between 1k and 1.2k infamy) of course their hp was higher than hp of defenders in those battles

 

Shooters. REDUCE THEIR HP ALREADY ( even though I use shooter ), THEY NEED TO HAVE LESS HP THAN A DEFENDER.
WHATS THE POINT OF DEFENDER IF SHOOT HAS MORE HP?!

 

Actually, shooter HP is fine. It's just that defender is sh!t but Devs don't wanna fix it because according to them defender is way too dominating and wins more matches. More people are using shooters now because it's the only boat left that can fight through Tesla shields.

Enforcer is just better defender and speeder. Shooter is the only other viable option. And also free legendaries for shooters and fixers.
