    The last update bosted explosive cannon’s cooldown and range, exactly what it wasn’t needed.

    The reason why the explosive cannon is overpowered is because of its damage, there’s no doubt about that.

    Decreasing the reload time or range won’t make speeders or defenders be less powerful because the blast cannon is a short range weapon.

    I think this video will make clear how ridiculous the explosive cannon damage is:



    This is absolutely ridiculous and I hope it gets fixed soon. Less damage, less reload time, more range.

    Right now the explosive cannon can’t even be compared to a blast cannon in any sense. It’s not useful to have a bc when you can have a ec.

    Thx

    I think the cooldown is good where it is at. I think the damage is probably fine as well. I do think that the range should be increased slightly (+1 or +2) and the projectile speed needs to be increased. It’s just too slow. This is still a very powerful weapon and it has not lost a spot in the meta. We are seeing more blast cannons now due to the increased presence of enforcers.

    The damage is not fine at all. There’s a reason why you always see speeders with explosive cannons... moreover, why would anyone want to use torps when you can deal 2000 damage with a blast cannon?

    I wouldn’t mind at all, as long as they reduce the damage.

    Dude, you don't mind? *Snickers* then you don't get it, do you? The excannon takes up two slots ofc its gonna do some big damage! Why nerf it because some peeps bring in legendaries of t3-t5? Rare excannons are okay, so are epics!

    Ex cannon isn't op. It's already got a long reload time, and it takes a lot of skill to use cud of the slow projectile speed. Way less op than sniper. An epic ex cannon does only does a little more than 1000 damage, not 2000 damage. Check your facts ;)

    Thats from fire boost though. The ex cannon itself doesn't do that much damage.

    The actual damage shouldn't be nerfed, just the combo. The ex cannon itself isn't op at all.

    My legendary lv10 blast cannon with 3 purple +12% fire perks does between 1200 and 1300 damage. A cannon with similar characteristics and splash damage deals almost double... WTF?

    I don’t think it’s balanced at all
