We have to use skill and skill is not easy to get when you have a weapon like the lasher. And wait on that last page did he say we never have large numbers? May I remind you of the current pop on markov? Um som wer around 40% TR 40% NC 20% VS /rant off Sorry I am a ranter...

I agree Fatal, the Lasher does take skill to use, but using that skill makes the Lasher one of the most effective weapons out. If the target is moving, aim slightly ahead of him; and aim at his legs/floor. Whats good is if you miss his legs, you hit the floor, and it LASHES. Even if you miss, it lashes. The lash part of it compensates for the travelling orb that some players can dodge. Use it wisely.

You know what I would love to see, the inability of empires to use another empires weapons. It's bad enough when we (VS) are fighting the NC, we know that at least every other guy is going to be carrying the JH. What sucks is when you are fighting the TR and every other freaking guy is carrying the JH.
I am VS, I use VS weapons, that was the point of choosing my empire. I don't even carry the HA cert, I use my empires MA so that I can fight at range as well as up close. As far as I am concerned, looting another empires weapons is simply saying you chose the wrong empire to fight for.

OMFG come on peeps. HA is balanced at long last. If your TR and want to complain about weapons, focus on the prowler, raider and maxs, then you would have some kind of argument.

mmmm.....why can a Jackhammer wielding trooper can knock my Magrider down to 50% from what seems like 4-6 shots?
I mean i would not expect a MCG or a Lasher to do so much damage in such a small amount of time.
When has it been that a Heavy Assault can be such an effective AV?
Sure i was too close, and eventually i kill the NC, but it just seems insane.

I'm not so sure how fast a AP Jackhammer is like an aVanguard and Prowler, but because they have more armour i suppose it would take more shots.

Woot more Love for MA the game would be better with more of us. But you know the Pulsar does Lots more Damage per shot than the Gauss or Cycler up close untill nearly the end of its full range. It is very awsome loot em whenever i can.

Really? Must try that out

I've killed a Lightning with a Jackhammer, just assumed that the phalanx turret above me was doing the majority of the damage.

It's true, i got ambushed by a lone NC and a Jackhammer, i though i was being hit by a AV weapon.

the JH AP does Moderate AV damage, but the Lasher and MCG do quite a bit. Lasher 2.0 coudl take out Lightnings in less than one clip.

Eldanesh · 2004-06-02, 01:02 PM

The lasher 2.0 killed maxs in 22 shots

Amen. There may be tiny, minute, miniscule and infintesimal problems with HA balance as it stands, but there are far more important balance issues to deal with. By and large, the Devs have done an excellent job equalizing the Empires.
