#43 - Brightlance Rebalance (ADDED-CLOSED)

Vanoi · Last edited by Vanoi on Sun Feb 03, 2013 12:16 am; edited 1 time in total

I had a discussion in All Chat and we all agreed that for the 100 CE difference between Brightlance and Supernova.

I gave it a default -1 recharge all added weapons and also a 15 shield bump to give it an even 100 Hp.

The -1 recharge to energy weapons is the only thing that makes ares usable as army unit in my opinion

If you guys are going to give that bonus to Brightlance, something else should be given to Ares that replaces the -1 recharge it gets now. It's better not to be repetitive in bonuses, each unit should be somehow unique.

How about all energy weapons {except built in anti-a} become Plasma and all missile weapons become sabot and receive +1 range to make up for cluster missiles not being usable anymore?

Such an update would make Ares a good anti-Armor unit. The built in anti-armor weapon makes it even better.

Not to mention it is crazy inbuilts like that one which make thew few useful units...useful in the first place! If you limit things like +range and -cooldown to 1 unit then that unit will get used way more by default.

Look at missiles. Wyv and Ballista are the only two units capable of using Triad effectively due to their inbuilt +1 range mod. Same with Clops and Deathlance. In this sense the BL has a base gun recharge of 1 which means even an E var is almost wasted and trying to fit a 2/3 recharge weapon becomes oddly inefficient. Giving the BL this inbuilt is a great idea.

Could we also remove the one dinky gun for a small dmg buff to the main ones or a support stat like +1 speed?

I don't know, not sure that would have any real effect on....anything. Not for the amount it would offer. 1 more gun on anything would make it moot Razz
