    As a last comment from a Tesla Bolt user... I think this update is both necessary and good. My Tesla Bolt is only a lvl24 rare with 3x epic duration perks. I have enough rares to go to T5, but never felt the need because it was already so powerful. This update is going to force me to level it (or my epics).

    No one talks about the buff to heal block... Flare gun + stun will now be even deadlier, fixers will have to use Healing bolt and they will die more easily against speeders, defenders with double bandage will suffer when stunned... I don't now if it is balanced or underpowered but T-bolt users should give it a try ;)

    I bet that in the moment when you decided to double the reload time of the Tesla bolt you knew people would complain about it...

    I’ve been playing speeder for the last hour and I have barely finished any round alive. Before the update I thought the Tesla bolt was balanced, as a shooter and as a speeder, and if it needed balance I would have been ok with a couple extra reload seconds... BUT DOUBLE? From 10 to 20 seconds!!?

    I have a Rare Tesla at lv40 with perks, it’s duration is 10,8sec. But have you thought that MOST OF THE TIMES the duration is reduced because a teammate hits the enemy or you shoot? In this cases the Tesla is useless.

    Also now, for those who don’t use flare/explo with their speeder, when they face a speedervsspeeder situation, and the enemy speeder has those weapons they have nothing to do, to run away is their better option.

    I hope it was an error and can be rebalanced.

    Appart from this, Great update <3

    I think it is fine and is just going to take some adjustment. You can also reduce the cooldown by 20% through training (IIRC) and use cooldown duration perks if you want. 20% less would be 16s, which is pretty good. It will just make me stop spamming it all the time. Makes it worth more.

    Fixing the bug for healing might actually trump the cooldown increase and make it an overall buff. I know in my games the bolt is still wrecking and mine is only a lvl24 rare with 3 epic perks.

    Tesla cool down was increased by 50%, 13.3 seconds to 20 seconds.
    I agree this is a huge nerf, and would have rather seen it increased to 15-16 seconds.

    16s becomes 12.8s with cooldown training. Then you'd again have people stunning for longer than the cool-down. I really don't think this nerf is going to affect me at all.

    Yes why this is true, there was the stun prevention to avoid repeated stuns.
    On paper it looks bad to me, but havent had chance to play and see how it feels.
    Also tesla properly blocking heals is a huge bonus.

    Same here. Rare t4 Tesla user. Now it's not going to be that effective unless you have an epic t5 or leveled legendary.
    I haven't downloaded the update yet. Just wanted to confirm if there is a legendary tesla bolt available through achievements?

    Ouch...well done rovio. Low blow. Keep it up. Now I have to get a shooter until 4 epic Tesla bolts land in my inventory. (RNGesus, is this justice? Give me those epics and we can call it even) :p

    I really don’t like this update... forget doing 1vs1 with speeders, you are going to get killed. I would rather have the duration effect decreases than the cooldown time.

    For those who say it’s balanced, try facing a shooter or even a defender 1vs1. You’ll see how Balanced it’s is.

    That’s at level 25 in the research of buzzkill... which is really really late.

    Sure thing man. Speeders have to look out for each other now. There might be a way to make the bolt work by double teaming ships. Let's hope for the best. (doesn't mean we will get it) :rolleyes:

    If I'm in a 1-2-1 scenario with a speeder, I wouldn't expect to win, at least not as an MK5. MK6 I'd have a better chance.
