Thread: Did Combat Droids get Nerfed recently?
Maybe its just me, but my imp probot was hitting a cl 4 Nuna for 50 pts of damage when last week I could have sworn it was hitting for 150pts. The droid itself is CL 18 I believe.
just curious,

Yes, Combat droids are nerfed once again. After Tiggs has said that combat droids would be more effective. If you group with a combat droid, the droid is LOWERED to your level if you are a pure crafter. This makes them completely worthless for defense. Tiggs should be fired for all the lies she has told the players of this game. I'm not even sure I'm going to log back in again, I'm so mad.

My opinion is that it is a bug with ranged attacks for creatures in general, rather than a nerf for droids. My creatures using ranged attack do 47 damage per hit to a Fambaa. To the exact same Fambaa, one of the exact same pets was hitting for 237 when it got into melee range instead of using ranged attack.
Similar resaults gottenagainst a Nightspider, a Male Plains Tusk Cat, and a Trade Federation Avenger.
I haven't tried my droid in a similar test yet, since none of the droids have both a ranged and melee attack now (Probot is all ranged, and it seems by design or by bug the DZ-70 and the R# droids are now all melee, no ranged). But I suspect they did something to creature/droid range attack that they did not intend.
Either that, or the change to ranged attack is intended (makes sense that a creature's spit wouldn't do as much damage as a physical blow, though it does kill my CH strategy) and the droid change is just a byproduct of it that will have to be looked at in the future. Were droids and pets not so closely related, these problems might not come up.
Nerfing the nerf bat... man !! My probots peashooter when from shooting frozen peas to shooting cooked ones
