Armor cane best cane. No, shield-kite cane best. No, dual-prop TD cane is best cane. No, shield brawler with 5 gyro cane best.
Drakes suck. Only PvE players use drakes.. then something changed, without a damn thing happening to the drake or it's mods/weapons to make it Viewed as viable for PvP.
TDs suck. Waste of midslot.. yet that changed.. with nothing happening to TDs, infact they've gotten nerfed and are still more prevelent than Viewed in the past.
Armor-HAC fleets rule the universe.. no, wait.. alpha maels rule the universe.. nothing changed (disclaimer - the arty change '09 helped but the docturine wasn't implemented till much later...).
Golem is PvE god.. no, wait Mach.. no, wait.. Tengu.. what changed exactly when those changes happened?
Long list made short.. **** changes without **** being changed. Funny how that is.. people come up with these notions right off the bat, and for some reason.. cement them into stone. I find it to be a lot of Fail in personality to hold so much conviction.. with letting past experince weigh so heavily upon present transistions.
The result is this.. when changes do happen.. people don't really have a clue on the end result. Speculation seems to hold more sway on these forums than legitament repeated experince. And I mean repeated.. dumb ass everybody claiming a ship sucks simply becuase they hit paper with their rock on the first go.
And with that, while the cane obviously took a hit.. it was by no means drastic. It can still be used, and used very successfully. What happened is there is going to be more options for people to explore, and use with equal success than simply drake/cane or go home. It is going to take some time to find the most optimal fits too.. fight after fight after fight after fight to garnish reliable proof, than number punching. The cane docturine really hasn't changed.. take it out, and smash good pilots trying the new BCs in different fits they aren't used to. Can sit in the lab and design the perfect gun.. then when u give it to a soldier, actual battle field results don't pan out. This has happened time n again throughout the history of weapons.
Cane is also going to weild the term of 'inferior'.. making people more inclined to fight something that really isn't that badly nerfed.. at all. That in itself.. is a buff to me.
