Bye bye, Special Assault

I don't know why but I have to ditch it. The Decimator is cheap. Maybe I want more challenge. Could be fun or it could suck. Guess I'll find out.

You'll be back, I did the same thing once upon a time. SA is just to damn versatile.

:indeed: the new Radiator sux they should up the dmg in the radiation bubble since it doesnt do aggrivated dmg
The Deci was nerfed to hell and back then back down again, and it looks like they arnt going to fix it again
The Rocklet sux now, i unloaded an entire clip on to one guy and he didnt die!

The Thumper is the only weapon worth in spec asslt, but its a major grief machine for me

Wait, i'm confused, did they stealth nerf spec assualt or something? I know i don't hear people railing on the best cert in the game if they haven't touched it.

Special Assault is great for MAXs , but you will get tired of it. I myself traded in Special Assault and got a Scatter MAX its awesome

Incompetent · 2003-11-04, 02:48 PM

Um, i've had spec assault since i hit BR5 on launch day, i'm not getting tired of it. You can own MAXes, you can own vehicles, you can own grunts, basically as long as it can't fly you can kill it. Nothing compares to the versatility offered with that cert, you just need to make sure you bring a friend or you'll be overwhelmed, but then again that applies to any weapon or tactic other then HA/Agile/Surge.

Biohazzard56 · 2003-11-04, 02:51 PM

You can own aircraft with deci , i killed several mosquitos and reavers during the week i had that cert.

Incompetent · 2003-11-04, 02:56 PM

It's not worth the ammo unless they are bothering you though, you can hunt anything else, the aircraft have to come to you.

Decis own MAXs like Reinforced HA pwnz uncovered infiltrators. I dont want to see the Deci nerfed, but SA totally eclipses empire specific AV to the point that there isnt much reason to pick AV over SA, especially considering the portability of Decis and the Utility and stacking damage of the Thumper with plasma

Biohazzard56 · 2003-11-04, 02:58 PM

/agreed ,depends on your empire but for the most part all empire specific AV weapons suck. I would choose deci over Anti Vehicular (im NC btw)

ChewyLSB · 2003-11-04, 03:00 PM

...which is exactly why I believe the Decimator should be moved from SA to AV!

TheRagingGerbil · 2003-11-04, 03:09 PM

I own skeeters all the time with my rocklet rifle or deci.

Take a couple of pot shots with the Guass and hide behind a tree. The skeet thinks it has an easy kill and moves in close. Whip out the rocklet/deci and try not to get hit by the flamming bits of aircraft.
