    One of my tapes ticks for 100 another 105 another 114, when all three are activated and I get hit by 2 flares, my HP goes down. + 319hp/s turns into -50hp/s
    I never wanted them to reduce flare dmg, rather I want them to remove the heal debuff and buff the dmg

    The most annoying combo it’s flare gun + Tesla bolt/frost blaster = -30% and no heal at all(but u can got shoot and try to survive ) or -30%+ -50%=-80% heal reduction and frost for 8s+ ... it’s good luck in a next match))
    Few times ago I think fixer for protection ... but for now fixer 1 st target to protect))) least hp and armor + without self healing))

    If we can all put aside our biases and such, I think honestly we can all agree that as much flares do fulfill their purpose as a support weapon, the amount of debuff, dmg and duration is far greater than what fixers are capable of healing. If fixers like me who have 3 tier 4 duct tapes cannot cope even against 2 flares, you can just imagine how hard of a time fixers with a heavily nerfed pulse are having. Not to mention box gets debuffed too and might get stolen or miss if your turret isn't facing the way you are moving. And don't even get me started on the poor bolt fixers. Bottom line is, this is a huge problem for all fixers and I am actually lucky it doesn't affect me as much as. The solution is not to be selfish and ask for buffing of duct tape, rather we need a solution that will benefit fixers all across the board. Think about how many things debuff fixers in the game, there is nothing fixers can do about it. Not even a fighting chance.

    I don't know why heal for your entire team would stop, the Tesla bug is still here and won't be patched until the next update so if you look at my thread in bugs and reports you might find your answer. Essentially if you get stunned, then you have no heals for full duration of their stun from the moment you are hit with the stun. It doesn't matter if you get hit and lose the stun. The bug is there so that heal is blocked.

    Do you ever make a suggestion that doesn't reflect on your own personal needs?

    Add a nonbaised option in the poll aswell like "No, it does not need a nerf"

    Please select,
    Do nothing, because i am a selfish fixer and want to nerf everything that works against me.
    Biased people who do not support my opinions and refuse to comment with their own idea have only that option.

    This is a bias thread with no way to vote other than "Nerf" everything....it's your opinion and you're are entitled to have it but I don't agree with it.

    What do I select if I want to keep things as they are because they're balanced and have nothing personal against duct tape fixers.

    Right. Nothing.
    Quit whining man/lady, it's getting a bit toxic at this point.

    I'm not a troll...I don't want to reduce the (fill in the blank) on my flare gun..yes I'm partial because I use it...I don't think the buff/debuffs are excessive but then my flare is not T5. I have worked tirelessly on upgrading it, if it got nerfed in some way..I will have wasted months of sugar and rare pieces. Please try to remember it's not an insta-damage weapons so users have to outlive or outrun opponents while it runs it's course. I don't want to add more DPS to it because after that happens people will cry the burn effect is too strong or too long. And I may as well use it as a regular flare gun to signal my teammates for help cause the weapon is like the "horn" in porthos video. Many a fixers have circumvented fire damage I have done and not only lived to tell about it but killed me in the process. (This could be related to the whole one to two higher ship class issue but that's another story.)
