Well now all most of the 10K+ guys do is hunt eachother. As soon as Kid kills anybody in BA it gets reported in /o. Next thing you know theres a squad of peeps all 10k+ killers all BR20 CR3+ actively hunting Kid and the other high rankng smurfs.

The times i have found Shield implant useful are times when i'm not moving. It saved me a once while hacking a tower and i was so close to finishing that i wasn't going to stop. Guarding an area like a chokepoint that you dont have to move is okay. Like a tunnel or the top of a set of stairs. But still very lack-luster and AA wins out here. I've used it to fend off a cloaker trying to stick me with his knife while doing healing and doing repairs. But DL is much better counter. If you are a max thats one thing. For reinforced grunt??? It need a booster of some kind. Or if meds got a stim pack that boosted your stamina that'd be cool too.

I ought to kill more BA. only recognize a few by name tho.

it's a shame they dont extend the "oufit" option under names for the enemy as well.

I've fought against a few agile/rein exo people who used shield implant. it's useful 1v1 as it draws 1 more shot of JH, but still....

stamina is life.

I'd rather surge around with 2nd wind as a fall back then having to rely on the stamina rape implant that is the current personal shield.

Well last time i saw you ina tower i was coming upstairs and i hear the AA go off and i stopped with my surge already running. Knowing full well if i proceded you'd know. Well, i went for it and sure enough you popped your head out and after a single secondary shot it was over. I had full armor and health.

Actually i have more problems with MaryJane. A name made famous in my mind by killing me with two mines deployed on the stairs inside of a tower.

TrailRix uses shield but he also uses quasar

Dreamer and StrykerXP are classic agile/surgers

The Shield is great for Max's because when MAX's are in a huge indoor firefight they dont even NEED stamina to move around normally. Regular infantry need it to run around.

I played with it in beta, it was ok

[kidriot]

the lasher is a crazy weapon. u can't run from them cos the lashes will nail u in ur coffin.

more & more I'm having to fight lasher users like maxes. stay the hell away from their front.

in some cases I don't attempt to survive. I just surge into a pack of Vanu and let them build up grief & damage.

[kidriot]

meant to say. I find that being agressive is the way to go when facing the lasher.

[Lonehunter]

I do that all the time with my rocklet gun. I'll be on the outside wall of a Vanu tower, put the rocklet gun in secondary fire mode, turn on surge, turn, click, and run in.

[Streamline]

Wanna hear sumpin funnah? I been fightin JH users the very same way for months. Problem is agiles are alot quiker than MAXs.

As for Rocklet/Thumper users i just smother 'em.

[Sarxis]

I played around with it while using the old MCG, and actually had success in small melees (1 or 2v1).

But its tricky to use.

[Spider]

Hmmm.... my opinion is: Not worth it!

As for the WOAH! comment!

Look at Arakiel's sig!

He's on Vanu! and has almost 20k kills, is br 20 and cr 5
