Firebomb in high levels

Napalm

 

The difference is that FB is damage over time not Direct Damage.

 

Not the same case when you break the frost, and it happens 95% of the time

 

Well, I don't remember how many of those perks I scrapped, and also I scrapped a t4 lvl40 epic long range mortar. Mortars becomes useless once u reach nightmare. That's just my thoughts.

 

Firebomb is op at higher levels and berta is unplayable. My 1700+ legendary Berta barely lands for 300. Flight delay is so stupid for that weapon even defenders can avoid it.

 

What I am trying to say is, Fire bomb is the only mortar that is used widely in the end game and it doesn't need a Nerf . All it needs is a little adjustment that it doesn't hit u for 18sec on the edge. Then everything will be fine.

 

Frost needs help. I loaded up my near-useless Legendary Standard Mortar with frost perks, but I rarely get a frost hit because it fades so quick, and the mortar has such a short range. Frost should at least have a longer duration to allow frost perks to be useful. The way Fire Bomb works is a better example of how Frost should work.

 

Yeah,Napalm too.

 

I think weapons like Blast, BT, and FB are in about the right place: they’re useful, worthwhile etc... If they are being overused then I’d rather see other gear get buffed a bit so that it’s also ‘useful’.

The only weapons that I think need a nerf are Sniper and possibly Flare. While those exist in their current form, there is really no point nerfing stuff like FB out of the meta.

 

I just think it’s a bit too good for a weapon that also brings a status effect. I meet a lot of players running Flare Blast/EC combos, which are devastating if they land. But even if they miss the Cannon hit, the Flare alone can do well over a thousand damage, and it has pretty good range and projectile speed.

I’m currently NOT in favour of nerfing Flare, simply because that would constitute another nerf to Speeders and Defenders, which definitely isn’t needed. But having underpowered ships proped up by a single OP weapon combo is not exactly ideal either.

If everything else in the game were well balanced (if if if), then I think Flare could possibly do with toning down.

 

I think the conflicts of FB talents with shield HP makes it up

 

Yes, the fire bomb is op. I'm a nightmare mk6 fixer and i can sometimes out damage my whole team with just my fire bomb. Granted, my team sucks when this happens, but still...

The only nerf the flare needs is for the heal reduction to not stack, then i wouldn't have a problem with it.

 

Flare heal reduction no longer stacks, it was fixed in previous update

 

Should they make mortar projectile speed perks for making mortars more useful at the endgame where ships are too fast for mortars?
