Thread: Passive Armour Break or Mass AoE?

I agree with option C. Not all of our weapons make sense as AP weapons. In fact a couple could make a better arguement for re-introducing a special that targets the armor itself. The Acid Rifle and Acid Beam Cannon should degrade the armor of a target much like Disarm used to directly do damage to the weapons. The Particle Beam Cannon could be argued to fit this bill as well though since it hits all targets in a straight line it probably should be an AP weapon. Having the RL and the LP doing AP damage is basically a no-brainer.


I have to agree with the Devs to a point as well. If you give us both AoE and AP then you are just begging for the mighty Nerf Saber to fall on use. I'd love to have it all but in the interest of balance and Anti-Nerf defense we have to play give and take. Is it really an asset to us to have all of the AoE? Not really........The only weapon I can use and not agro a city block is the PBC. Are we the Kings of damage or are we the Kings of Crowd Control? Looking at the chart we are supposed to kick major amounts of butt while having limited Crowd Control skills and yet we can draw every bit of hate in the known universe by firing a RL. Granted that since AoE is currently doing 0 damage we can only kill one at a time that doesn't change the fact that its all focused on us. Give us a few non-AoE weapons will make us more flexible especially if they give us some Passive AP.

i just want to be able to use all of our weapons with a master level cert. actually i think there should be a master level cert for ALL weapons, so that everyone as a lvl 80 master dont use the same weapons.


it kinda goes back to the old way where there was only one good weapon to use. having master lvl certs for all weapons would give a nice variation. maybe let smugglers upgrade weapons to an advanced level/master cert.


anyways, i just really like the particle beam cannon, but it does crappy dmg so its not worth using, so a master lvl dps version would be hot
