-15% tracking I'm fine with, but -10km optimal for XL Blasters? Come on guys, be serious. -5km tops or GTFO.

if you are gonna nerf the moros then nerf the moros, don't make a useless ship. I haven't done the math but seriously...everyone has a moros because it's the best dread...now everyone is gonna have to get rid of them with no buyers?...great

BLASTER WILL END UP WITH LESS OPTIMAL AND LESS FALLOFF OF AUTOCANNON
so u need to nerf also small, medium and large blaster to bring them in line.
Hybrid was great years ago, after become **** ( medium rail are still ****), after boost the come back in use and now let's nerf again f-uck you

Cool story, it was bad for years... remember when it couldn't reach reveleation dps even with drones (that u could lose?)

Naglfar = capless turret , damage selection
Revelation = no ammo waste (more space for fuel), good layout for armor tanking
Phoenix = good pos bash, worst by far for everything else (patch doesn't change this)
Moros = dps king, **** on his feet, use cap, use ammo

Now, if u nerf blaster moros will **** on his knees.
In addition u are nerfing also tracking enhancers....... why u try to broke something u fixed?

Good sir if u check TQ now u will see that adding 10km falloff to x-l blaster u will have less falloff than autocannon x-l, just saying
15km + 10km = 25 km for blaster (+ skills)
28,8km for autocannons (+skills)

Tracking nerf, sure, is not excessive and it balances things a bit. But the optimal nerf on the blasters is rather harsh, they basically won't be able to hit **** with antimatter.

So wake up call to all whiners.

Base tracking of the limited mega ion siege blaster 1, Im using the meta because im a WHer and Im pro, is 0.0054125. Fifteen percent of this is 0.000811875. Now for those that fail at math, and if CCP doesnt fail at math, then the new number WILL be 0.004600625. Again this number is assuming CCP do something funny and completely fail at math.

The current tracking of the Dual Modal Giga Pulse Laser 1 is 0.0040512. This means that the moros will still have noticeably better tracking than the rev. Anyone who has ever tried to do dread blapping with the rev knows that it is not bad. Rev blapping is pretty easy.

The optimal range nerf is not that bad either. The moros gets 5 mid slots. So for a tracking dread, you would use 2 sebos, and 3 TCUs. Two tracking one optimal range. Thats 14KM of optimal and 34 KM of falloff. With 2 webbing ships on field webbing down what you are shooting, its going to die. No questions asked, its going to die.

Is it joke? For real CCP!

You make Neglf most DPS dread. MOST! He making tonn of damage with new bonus. And you nerf moros MORE? Just delete all other dreads from game it change nothing. People will take naglf.

You know that "new" moros cant even do normal dps to Large control tower? For now moros have 20+20 with AM X-L charges.
And will have 10+30. Its just half of hes total dps - ~5-6k in siege. And lets take a look at naglf:
20+39... Autocan have MORE optimal than blaster. What the hell is that? So make that doctrine to all autocan! Let's delete blasters (hardest weapon in game to deal "tonns of damage") from the game...

he's talking about damage projection, which is desperately needed. A moros will have difficulties tracking anything, no matter how webbed or painted within 10km, so having an optimal of only 10km is just stupid. Essentially this change makes antimatter XL useless.

Also, this is hilarious for titans. Not that they can hit **** anymore anyways, but why the hell would anyone even bother saving up for them anymore, other then to bridge?

RIP MOROS

Nerfing the few good things gallente has, Fozzie must be an amarr supremacist.

but seriously the numbers look pretty harsh for the ion blasters. Optimal range nerf and tracking, so now you have to be closer to a target with less tracking. Always thought the balance to the XL blasters was the platforms they're on are inferiorly tanked compared to the others Erebus VS Avatar and Moros VS Revelation.

Simply because the sandbox favors one toy over another does not mean it needs to be defecated on so the other toys become more popular, It would be a better idea to remove the defecation from the other toys so they're more liked.

-15% Tracking, DO you even play this game?

Fozzie, here are my issues:

1) Titans are not going to be looked at for another 8-16 years according to the schedule. By changing titan guns you are making a balance decision without considering the effect it will have on ships you aren't currently looking at. If you have looked at the state of titans recently you will see they don't need a nerf to tracking (there is no such thing as a tracking titan), or optimal.

2) You are bringing the capital guns into line with each other, nothing wrong with that, but you have chosen to balance around the lower tracking guns rather than the higher tracking -- effectively nerfing tracking on all capital guns. This makes the moros in particular very difficult to use for PVE, was this intended? If it was intended, why was it not mentioned as a motivation in the post?

3) The optimal on the moros with antimatter is now smaller than a POS shield. If their role is shooting structures this makes no sense.

4) The nag has better optimal than the moros, this is out of line with other autocannons.

I hope these changes are start of a larger capital rebalance, it's certainly very long overdue.

Because CCP Fozzie is formerly PL - PL likes amarr ships - all his changes are setup to make amarr more ubber - CCP goes along with it because it make US players spend more time training for the next "flavor" of the patch so we keep our subscriptions up. capice?
