The point though about Drakes is that they have an op tank and have always done just enough dps to make it possible, even for relatively low skilled pilots. Conversely, you cannot do that with a Harby. . .
Basically, it has been only Caldari pilots that can get away with doing level 4s with a low skilled BC. That is not balance. Or don't you understand that? Regardless, losing 10% damage will make the overly risk averse missioners spend more time to run level 4s in the Drake. Which is a good thing. Once the BC base shield regen is nerfed it will be even more mind numbing to try to run them in a drake. Enjoy the coming balance, and train a BS like everyone else. No i understand perfectly well what you can do in a low skilled Drake AND I am already trained to fly ALL the SubCaps, I just am not fond of Battleships ROF and Speed is to slow for my taste.Still though you did not answer my request for a LINK FROM A DEV THAT SAYS DRAKES ARE NOT MEANT FOR RUNNING LEVEL 4 MISSIONS. So your argument is pointless to me with out anything backing the claim. As for the other races ships, you can do them in a Brutix or Cyclone maybe in a prophecy i don't fly Amarr to often so i can't say. Still though the patch notes are up, CCP has only half ass listened to people, DPS and Flight time is still getting lowered to please all the butt hurt players who don't know how to use a sensor damp. We will see how it all ends u
Lol, who the **** are you? Your ******** question is not a prerequisite for posting a response to your butthurt. Yes, you see it is you who are butthurt. Lili has been playing since 2006. Where's the butthurt?
Now if you want to look at me, a noob that started within the year, then ok you could accuse me of butthurt that my Brutix, Myrm, Cyclone, and Cane can't do what a Drake does to run level 4s. But I'll just laugh back at you. Lol, you said people can run them with Brutix, Cyclone, and Prophecy. Those are all tier 1 BCs. The fitting sucks. You can't marry top tier long range weapons and sufficient tank on any of those ships without ridiculous fitting help and maxed skills. So no, you can't run them in those ships, unless maybe a max skilled character with shiney mods and a lot of patience still in order to complete them. It's all about balance. You keep avoiding that issue.
Benny basically told you where you are wrong. Scream more to the devs for one of them to say explicitly tech I BCs were not meant to run level 4s. None of us have to address your red herring question. Cry more that your drake is becoming less level 4 worthy.
As for damps, I use them a lot in pvp. I love damping drakes. My damp boats are getting buffed. I'll love damping drakes even more. But to dismiss the balancing considerations for pvp that caused the Drake and Cane nerfs itt and soon in-game by saying just use a damp is disingenuous of you. Anyway, fit HAMs on your drake and get close then damps mean **** all.
The devs hinted at normalizing BCs at 17 slots. That means the Drake is scheduled for a further nerf (as with all tier 2 and 3 BCs). I will love your tears when that comes too. For a character that has been playing since 2008 and presumably can field more than a tech I BC stop all your sobbing. If you don't like BSs then post for a speed up for addressing HACs lackluster performance. They are rather weak. I don't see a point to training for them. But they along with tech IIIs should satisfy you for the time being or be your focus for posting suggestions (since you don't like BSs). |
