Defenders rebalance???

Is it just me or defenders at mid levels (mk3-4) are a ton weaker and less appealing due to 1.) Not having three guns 2.) Not having enough defense??

 

2 guns is fine.

 

They are well balanced. No need to buff them in any way shape or form.

(Note: I am a defender)

 

He was talking mk2-3

 

The defender is good at all levels. The mk level should be according to infamy level. A mk3 defender shouldn't be at such a high infamy. But at the infamy where it should be it's a good and balanced boat

 

If you say. I dont play def.

 

I've played the defender the whole way and it's served me well to steadily progress. I just haven't hit nightmare so idk if it needs a buff there

 

Its prob just your skill... very few make it to 4000.

 

Mk6 defender is pretty balanced I think. Another blue slot point (not even a slot) might make it overpowered a bit. An additional slot would basically mean game over for speeders.
The only thing would be adding defense on both ship and shield since right now it's pretty much useless.

 

Most low infamy defenders I have seen have no idea what tanking means and either go solo or hide behind walls. The few mk4 I met that were playing the role properly were smashing it. I don't think it's unbalanced, i think most players pick it thinking they can be shooters with high hp

 

Were is the vote "defenders don't need any improvements"?

 

lies!
ur a speeder

 

I think it should have more gun earlier, but less slots.

 

Where is the poll with no bias?

 

In our dreams only.

 

I think defenders need more defense than hp

I also think shields in general shouldn't be giving hp at all but just raw defense instead

 

You can get quit a bit through perks.

 

Not enough to make a difference apparently, you'll need nightmare level gears just to get 100 defense.

What good is a measy 100 dmg less from each hit at that level?

 

Defender doesn't need a nerf.

Why are defenders considered weaker than others?
From my perspective what I've seen so far, defenders are weak for two reasons:
1) bad weapons choice
2) player camping (that actually goes with the first point).

I came across many defenders, some were really amazing players doing their job good, and some were just easy targets. So I don't think ship itself need a nerf. Just my opinion.

 

Nobody's nerfing the defenders, we actually want a buff, don't know about others but I want lesser hp and more defense, much much more defense.
