Ifrit Nerf

[Sing]

@Deathleech

Right now the game is dominated by Dog and Panzer DPS as they are the only two that can really dish it out. Any would be energy heroes are killed almost immediately by Panzer. This in turn makes it extremely difficult to deal with Ifrit, even if there was a good energy DPS. It’s made all the worse when Flatline can bring Ifrit back, Heimlock reduces damage, Caine can shield, and Night or Mandrake can heal or invis.

Really we need to see that damage patch. Only having 10 or so viable characters in PVP while the other 50 available are crap makes for a very poor experience. You are forced to pay to win and play a very limited line up. Even if you do that, you still face the same teams you have to run yourself which makes for extremely stagnant and boring matches.

@Deathleech this is exactly what I covered bro… check it out and discuss there if you can.

Discussion on what the next September Update should bring

(A) INTRO There appears to be general acceptance that the first instalment of the Role Warfare (Health and Healing) patch was not a success. Ifrit was badly overtuned at release, health and healing are now too much, leading to long and boring PVP matches which lack dynamics. The patch that was supposed to enhance the number of playable PVP heroes did not succeed in doing so - the core group of strong PVP heroes remains pretty much the same pre- and post- patch. (B) THE ISSUES Roll on Septem…

@Majik… I agree that matches are boring and stagnant now but I don’t agree that Ifrit needs a nerf. Ifrit needs a counter.

Showtime is great and the full 10 seconds is needed for the player controlled dps and the AI to unload on the troublesome enemies. If it were any shorter the whole purpose would be taken away. The slow is great too.

As for Disorient, yes it is intended to screw up your aiming. It is not compulsory to fire while Disoriented so you have the choice of firing after the Disorient effect ends. I would rather sacrifice 10 seconds and get 80-90% damage out of Dogface’s charged up clips, than to fire when Disoriented and have to wait another for his next cycle to charge up.
