Fire nerf

Isn't that kind of a buff :/

 

Not really... At the moment, everyone gets the full fire bonus damage from cannon shots - this way, only the person who landed the flare/firebomb shot gets the full bonus damage, everyone else who lands a cannon shot while the targets burning only gets 50% of the damage bonus. Personally, I think they need to sort out the firebomb radius bugs first

 

Oh... sorry I misread it as 50% more damage to your teammates' cannons

 

Bingo. Nerfing anything but sniper makes the game even more unbalanced.

 

For fire I think the biggest thing is the amount of damage over time you get from fire damage combined with the extra damage you get from cannons. My solution would be if you are on fire and get hit the time left on the fire drops by 50% or goes away completely. This way if you get hit with a flair gun and BC right away the blast cannon might do extra damage but you are no longer on fire. This would make fire act more like stun and freeze. When you combine the damage over time plus the bonus damage this is when you get 2 shots doing 5K damage to a boat

 

But this has been discussed before in another thread. Fire is technically a weapon, not an effect like a yellow slot. You can't just get rid if it. It's kind of hard to explain, other than just saying that there is a difference between yellow slots and red slots.

 

I'd rather just see +2 sec CD on Blast and Sniper. That would be enough of a help against fire combos, and would comparatively raise the viability of other weapons.

 

Lol, why sniper? sniper has never been used as a fire combo.

 

Alright guys keep thinking.

What’s flavortext?

 

Probably something delicious

 

How about this? Only your fire increases your cannon damage, and all the burn damage bonuses in Bhurt's talent tree are lowered to +2.5% from +5%. And fire duration slightly decreased.

 

Sniper and Blast are currently on par with each other, but both are the top 2 weapons in the game. (Flare Gun would probably be #3)
If you just nerf Blast, Sniper becomes the best. So I'd just nerf Sniper too.
I've always thought Sniper CD was too short anyway.

 

Rather than nerfing anything and everything just introduce new combos.
Making frost viable again would be the beginning and rather making Chill Cannon % based make it freeze opponents after every 2 shots ( for legendary perk) and after 3 shots ( for epic perks), and make perk effect last bit longer for 6 sec say in order to pull out a combo.

 

Wrong. -coming from the dude who used flare sniper his entire battle bay life til he quit-

 

This. The devs ruined an entire meta of the game and called it "balancing"

 

The little bit of info under each weapon/item

 

Then, u were using the weapon wrongly. Lol. Good thing ur not doing the same thing now. U would regret it instantly.

 

I still see some nightmare players with the old 3x firebomb 2x sniper setup aswell

 

As a flare user i really dont like the idea of temp control
Firebomb control seems decent. However i always had the idea that you can get perks for your shields that protect u more against certain types of weapon. A bit like defence perks. But for example +20defense to fire weapons, or plus 30.defence to cannons like that
