Frost+Torpedo is still really fun/powerful

The other day, I was looking at some of the really old nerf frost+torp threads, and after reading about how powerful it was, I wanted to try it for myself, even if frost was "dead".

Spoiler: Nerf threads

So, I used my everyday mine+big torpedo setup, but swapped my nitro for a lvl 1 rare frost blaster(even with all my crew training being in favor of the other talent(s).
I must say, it was really fun being able to hit easy targets, and even if somebody broke my frost, I still got contribution in the mind of the star system.

And even a new high damage record:

Yeah frost torp seems powerful to me too. Old frost torp was op and now it seems balanced but i can't tell same for frost launcher. It seems weak now.

 

I hit nightmare for the first time with it, after the nerf too (mk5) it’s definitely not “dead” but in later stages it gets outpaced by all the quicker cannons / other weps.

 

When I first tried frost I loved it, but I have scrapped too many epic and rare frost blasters to go back.
I would love to put epic frost perks on my swift and try in a custom though.

 

I've seen your thread about you hitting Nightmare with the build(I even linked it under the spoiler of the main post), and it really gave me the inspiration to try it, seeing that even after the nerf, it was very powerful.

Lol, when I still had my T3 epic swift torp, I used it with a frost launcher and 1 rare frost damage perk, to get a guaranteed 1k hit almost all the time.

 

No! Frost is so weak that it's practically unusable, and you have to wait for the global cooldown of 2 secs before you can shoot the torpedo, leaving yourself vulnerable in that time, and regardless it's still super easy to dodge from, and there will always be that stupid teammate who shoots away your frost with a tiny little peashooter!





Don't tell them the secret...

 

Bumb!!

Get recked
