16.7sec - crew talents (That would be 25% or 35%, depending on whether you run Pulse or not), so in practice its 12,5 or 10,9.

But that is still a long cd yes.

 

considering the limited slots of mk4 fixers and below, devs should have made it 1 slot. it also just heals a little better than the one slot repair box.

 

Haven't use it but it would be useless. Not only takes 2 slots but it can't be used by fixer itself, cmiiw.

Second, the heal received always outnumbered with damage received.

Suggest to heal for 50% HP

 

It can remove frost and stun effect.

 

Wow. That's awesome! That's probably why they made it 2 slot

 

But remember they have to be trained.

 

Disclaimer: I'm not a Fixer.

I was kind of impressed with the stats, since I wasn't expecting it to heal for more than the Box, though it can't crit. It looks like it has the same infinite range as the Freeze Bolt, too! The main issue is that it's basically only for Mk 6 and 7 Fixers, since the 2-point cost means it's a replacement for a Pulse. None of the Fixers below Mk 5 could use both a Pulse and a Bolt, and Pulse can't be completely dropped by anyone sane. That opinion was backed up when I looked at Feelix's buffs for it. Neither of it's anti-CC capabilities unlock until the second half of the tree. Anti-Frost at branch 16 and Anti-Stun, which is the big deal, at branch twenty-five. It's high cooldown is significantly lower by that time, too. In conclusion, this might be interesting and useful for Nightmare players, but it's pretty much useless for all of the rest of us.

I really wanted to try it out, but I only have access to a Mk 4. No Bolt for me.

 

Though I use a mark 5 fixer with 2 repair pulses even though it has room for 3 heal items it wont get 1 more point untill mark 6.

 

They should recude the effect and cooldown and make it 1 slot.
Maybe a 12 sec cooldown

 

Honestly, it seems like they could make it a 1-point item even as it is right now. It doesn't need any nerfs. After all, it only hits one guy, it can't be used on yourself, and landing straight-line weapons isn't the easiest thing in the world.

Baseless Speculation:
Thinking about it, it sets kind of a weird precedent. There were already a couple of weapons in the game that weren't usable unless you upgraded the crew and got leveled them a lot, but in this case your ship needs to be upgraded to make the best use of it, too. They might start rolling out items that the other classes wouldn't reasonably use outside of a Mk 7 as well. Can you say "3-point weapons"?

 

If they did it like that it's basically a repair box with more +hp and unlimited range. I think the +hp should be less than that of a repair box if they were to make it a 1 slot item.

 

I'm not so sure about that. The Box is a lot more reliable. It doesn't rely on marksmanship, it doesn't instantly disappear if it misses, and it's either the best or second-best self-heal Fixer has right now. Think about it this way: if there were 3 Fixers on the enemy team, would you be more concerned if all of them were stacking 3 Bolts or 3 Boxes?

 

Repair bolt can unfreeze and unstun your teammates while also giving them HP. Tesla bolt would be the obvious choice over repair boxes if we made it op. Let's leave it all balanced.

 

It's not so bad, in my perspective it's perfect sniper rifle and repair bolt in the other. Heal from afar from unfriends range, but still give the unfriends annoying hit from sniper rifle. Even if I get hit I have that epic bandaid self healing. Last run I did 2109 heals with repair bolt and 1100 on damage. So it's alot better than before imo.

 

to people who say that repair bolt is ok as it is .... please try using it and show us your end game battle stats while using it.

for mk 4 below, use 1 repair bolt and duct tape for the extra slot.
for mk5 and above, use double repairbolts plus duct tape for extra slot on mk6
dont use the healing box because it will be a cause for debate in the end. just use repair bolt for about ten battles then tell us u still like it as it is. please post your battle results.

 

Slows aren't that big of a deal and Repair Bolt can't cancel stuns until you have Feelix nearly maxed out. Since it can't do any self-healing, anyone can easily just focus down the Fixer. It doesn't really deserve to cost 2 when it's just asking to get bumrushed.

Yes, please. I'll try doing it myself as soon as I get the funds. Any existing healers should use it and inform us.

 

I said it should cost 1 but do less than that of a repair box

 

The Bolt's healing is only barely more than the Box. A cost of 2 for that is a sham, an atrocity, it is fraudulent, it is bogus, and it should be lowered IMMEDIATELY!

Seriously, though, I doubt anyone would notice or care if it costed 1 instead of 2 at it's current state. Most of the voters in the poll thought it was "ussless". That said, we should probably get our hands on it and get some practical data before saying it needs buffs or nerfs
