Lasher Adjustment on Test

for those at work:

Tomorrow morning, there will be some adjustments to the Lasher on the Public Test Server.

1) It will have damage degradation. While the projectile still goes the same maximum distance, it now degrades in its strength, as does the lash itself.

2) The damage against armor (MAXs, vehicles) has been reduced by 30%.

They shouldn't nerf it. My JH still rips the Lasher apart up close, just not in small corridors anymore. The corridors are what I use my friend the Thumper (or Rockletrifle) for. The only reason it seems overpowered is because the overmind likes purple now.

Let's see how that goes, don't think the VS will be all that happy though.

"/points to top picture in sig" I am still undecided. I have been using HA as vanu before the buff patch. As i said in my previous post i WILL be there trying it on test.

Well I've been using the lasher since the patch and yeah it's pretty good now but no it doesn't deserve a nerf.

But if they do nerf it I think I'm gonna sell back heavy assault.

merging this thread with the current one.

I'll give it a whirl on the test server, but since I play NC for the most part I'm going to be biased no matter what. I still try it with my character and I get practically the same results that I get with the jackhammer, but the results with the lasher seem to be a bit better. Hopefully it won't be nerfed that badly, it makes VS a harder fight now, that's always fun.

I think they should keep it the way it is, but take away all the splash damage. Whenever I encounter a lasher, I ALWAYS get killed by its splash when I try and dodge...It even gets me behind trees. :-/

[Sandman]

Lasher has no splash damage, it has lash damage hence "lasher".

Thanks Strygun

I'm an NC and believe it or not i dont think the lasher should be nerfed to bad, but not for the fact it makes it a harder fight, for the fact that its not its power thats hurting us. I think it is the sheer number of the unloyal other empire members going to the VS to use it. I think we feel were getting lasher raped all the time because every god damn VS has one now and theres less ppl killing them and more ppl killing us. Just a theory...

By the way...im not saying the lasher isnt over powered, cuz it is But honestly, i dont think the nerfing will make it ne better unless ppl leave the VS and come back to their original empire because of it.
