Bye bye, Special Assault

Mosquito is a 2 shot kill for Decimator, 3 with shield.

Deci'ssmchessis..

Give me my Stiker and I can hold my own. I'll take anyone on in a MAX..especially outdoors. Most MAX's will drop with 5 hits, thats just 1 clip. I know its a few more hits required than a Deci but its much easier to swat them jumping VS MAX's with it. Not to mention when I kill a max with a striker, I dont have to go back to an eq term and reload.

Sometimes I use a double striker load, 30 striker shots.

TR AV rocks. Getting 500+ exp for blowing a MAX off the planet rocks more!

I just dropped HA for SA the other night, wasn't having much luck at range with the JH. The Gauss is a little too sproadic, so I usually like to carry the thumper along. Especially inside bases on secondary mode skipping those puppies around the corners is great. Oh and Decimators are cool too

I've always loved using my cycler and nothing else. I don't care if everyone else uses the MCG. Im still gonna hold my ground using the cycler.

Yes, my Decimator information was pre-balance patch. I've not toyed with it since before it came out. So I'm not up to date, but I was close.

I guess to some it's old news, but I just found out that it only takes 12 Thumper plasma grenades to kill a generator. I couldn't believe it at first, so I did it and then timed it and it takes almost exactly 20 seconds to fire 6 plasma grenades, reload, and fire 6 more (less if you use rexo and just switch to a second, loaded Thumper).

I'm certain that since you only need one extra box of plasma grenades in addition to the six in the Thumper, you could devote the rest of your inventory to health kits and it would make an easy, consistent kill on a generator even if protected by a pain module. Twenty seconds isn't much time to react (heh).

Not bad for 3 certs!

I just tried hand-held plasma nades and it only takes 11 to blow a gen. I guess you don't need an assault cert to take down gens. I wonder if this will be nerfed soon. It seems too cheesy to last.

[Flammey]

Yes, any good player with Thumper/Plasma load out is too damn hard to kill. From a distance he can still hit you, and you'll have alot of trouble getting close enough to him. He'll kill you in like 2-3 shots, that's if he doesn't miss you.

I really thought it would be bigger news that a guy with no assault certs can kill a whole generator in less than half a minute. I'm dropping my assault certs because of it, although I wouldn't be surprised if they fixed it.

I loved AV and i was great with it. Then it just fell out of use and i lost my skill with it. so i lvled and got HA. i love HA its great when u blow up Hustlahs and endos skygaurd in agile and then kill them both when theyre in reinforced
