My fire nerf idea

According to the MPAA, PG-13 movies are allowed one F-bomb. You edited mine out!

 

Out of curiosity, did he at all mention the dominance of double bubble enforcers?

 

Thanks, that is more clear. The DOT of the flare gun or fire bomb is not reduced? How does this work for someone burning in naplam?

I still don't like it. Fire + cannon burst is the only way to kill enforcers between shields. Seems like the idea behind this nerf is to further buff enforcers and nerf defenders.

My solution to a nerf like this, carry more flare guns.

 

NERF MORTARS? I've never heard of noobs getting to nightmare league.

 

Flare nerf will be another speeder nerf *sigh*. What combo would speeders will use then? Forst torp *dead*
Flare nerf will kill flare explosive and blast combo.
In other words enforcer and shooter buff, again.

 

Meh, I carry a flare and firebomb on shooter. But if I had to use two fire items to get any bonus damage, speeder would be RUINED. Unless an extra red slot was added. I ain't switching to enforcer, I'm not a double bubble noob, and speedforcer is MUCH slower than an actual speeder

 

It was a tongue-in-cheek complaint about a nothing issue. Just like these fire complaints.

Also, mortar spam is annoying in events.

 

Nerfing fire is stupid IMO. Kills speeders... what problem do these people have with speeders and defenders?!

 

Found it for ya..

47 minute mark I believe.

 

Imagine your flare does 2000 damage (T5 epic does around that).
My idea was, that for that flare hit, you can get maximum of 2000 fire bonus damage via cannons.
Example on blasts (because I'm Enforcer):

• Flare hit for 2000
• First blast for 1300 + 900 bonus damage
• Second blast for 1300 + 900 bonus damahd
• Third blast for 1300 + 200 bonus damage
• Fourth blast for 1300 + 0 bonus damage.

Of course, as a single person, you won't notice a difference if you're using 2 cannons with fire perks. The difference is, that the fired player won't get wrecked by all the cannons possible just because he got hit by a single flare or fire bomb.

 

You understand it perfectly. It's not nerf to a combo from a single players perspective.
Take it as a limitation. Player who got hit by a fire won't be super vulnerable the whole 20 seconds by whole enemies teams' cannons.

 

It's not a speeder nerf. Read the posts before commenting please.

 

I appreciate the explanation. That was clarifying.

I still disagree that fire needs any nerf at all. Fixer with extinguisher training slot on one particular healing item would be cool in my book.

 

Yeah it is. Nerf fire = nerf fire + cannon combo = 90% of speeders and defenders nerfed. Besides, this isn't a nerf, this is literally just erasing the combo. The combo is supposed to give you extra damage, but this way, it won't give you any bonus damage.
Right now, the equation for total damage of fire cannon combo would be t=(x+z)+y where t is the total damage, x is cannon damage, y is fire damage, and z is fire bonus damage. But with your changes, it would be t=(x+z)+(y-z), which would simplify to t=x+y, so there is no real combo.

 

That's cool, we're discussing about the issue, that's what these forums are made for

 

Thank you! Finally someone with a brain enters the thread!

 

Yeah, if these people REALLY want fire nerfed, I hope that a repair bolt buff will douse their complaining ( see what I did there?)
