Regarding Tesla bolt

Ok, before you guys come hard on me, let me say why am i even suggesting this.
Right now in nightmare league the flare and the Explosive Cannon is little bit too OP ,and when a speeder flares you, ur healing is reduced and on top of that if ur stunned, u have left with no healing and ur receiving dmg from flare. And the damage from the ex cannon is massive(around 2.6k dmg). So inorder to balance the playing field for shooter, defender(mainly defender) and fixer i am suggesting this.
I know this is my first post, but i couldn't hide the fact that flare and ex cannon is a little bit too OP. I know this is a nerf to speeder and enforcer , but lets be honest It seriously requires some attention.
Making Tesla bolt inactive when a ship is on fire would make other ships defend itself from a speeder without the fear of being stunned. I don't know if this is too harsh on speeders but would love hear it from u guys..
I would love to hear any other suggestion from you guys, and lets keep it in a constructive way please, no need to be harsh on me..

 

Being a a Speeder with a Explosive Cannon, And a Blast cannon, I don’t really think it should be nerfed, I’m not in nightmare league, but I understand what you feel, well, I’m still safe in Master league. Good luck up there in the Nightmare!

 

As a fixer, I don't feel it needs a nerf right now, as much as I hate it. I'm quite comfortable in knowing the opposing team will likely shoot it off or I can sit in the edge of a mortar shot to get rid and take a little damage as a price in doing so.

 

Burn fixed to half ... try get more hp, dodge stun, or stun speeder first. Be patient fixer always punching bag.

 

Now imagine ur self in a 1 on 1 situation, the speeders always have an upper hand because of bolt. They flare u then stun u and wait for u to die.. so easy.. But making it inactive will even the odds.. just saying..​

 

Well ,what I can see is most of u guys are just viewing the post but not voting.. A single vote wouldn't hurt no one..ty

 

Don't forget about the Tesla shield which is super hard to break for a FTP. So, in general a speeder with good Tesla bolt,Tesla shield is a little bit over powering in the end..

But , I get what your trying to say, being a FTP speeder is tough and 1 on 1 with a good shooter is always difficult..

But, what about defenders.. they r slow ,they r bulky and I think it'll be really tough for them to cope up with the speed of speeder constantly stunning and using flare.

 

Ok.. forget about this thread..lol.. increasing the duration of Tesla bolt is a nice Nerf anyways..
Thank you Devs.. much appreciated..
I think u guys can block this thread.. but keep only the toll open for all just to see the responses ..

 

So the new update increases the tesla bolt cooldown to 20 sec, which is almost equal to the railgun which does pretty high damage. But what about tesla bolt its the only thing that keeps speeders safe and helps evade. Having such high cooldown will be very hard for regular tesla bolt users. Everyone will be opting for tesla shield now. So what do u guys think. Should the cooldown be decreased ?
Tesla bolt is the....sorry.....was the most friendly gear for the speeders after OB.

I think the new 20 sec cooldown is a good move. When people have 14 or even 15 sec duration in their TB, don't you think 13 sec cooldown was little short earlier?

 

14 or 15 sec duration in TB is very rare. Only one guy in the game has this maxed out TB with 15/16 sec duration i think rest all others 9/9.5 duration in average.
With 20 sec cooldown they almost killed TB. 15-16 sec CD duration would have done the balancing work

 

And what about people with 10 second duration??
Geez it's not all about top 50 players..

 

Idk what league your in the majority of nightmare speeders have t5 maxed bolts. My crappy t2 bolt is almost 10 secs

 

Did the tesla bolt really needed balance? NONONONONONONO

With the stun resistance the item was actuall balanced.

 

New motto of Battle Bay - Play Shooter or die.

Sad actually.

 

I play my mk5 Enforcer with Tesla Bolt and Tesla Shield. Now i'll have to wait 20 second for both.

 

Unfortunately, I think you may have hit the nail square on the head with that. I tend to switch between shooter and speeder anyway, so we'll see what effects the changes have

 

I have level 45 Rare TB with 11 sec duration so I would say 12-13+ seconds is pretty common when it comes to Epics. I don't want people to think I never used yellow ships myself - actually Speeder has always been the ship I used the most. And yes, I still use TB on my Speeder setup.

 

Oh My!! Use a over boost instead of bolt.. and for mk6 use 2 Tesla Shield.. That's how Enforcer r played.. Usually bolt is not preferred for an Enforcer..
