Big Body Type, Too weak?

(Awez0me) #1

Hi,

Too me it looks that Big Body type is teh weakest of all, and almost useless.
You are Big and you are Slow, you cant evade good.
The Healt boost you have is pretty worthless if you such a easy target
Anyone agree?

EDIT: Oh and i forgot being able to use the heavy weapons isnt a pluss at all. All heavy MGs and shotguns Are easy outguned by the smgs.

I suggest to make big body like the Trolls in Shadowrun.
Where they have a harden ability.
They gain damage resistance the more damage they take.
But it rapidly decreases when they take no damage.
Strong against SMG spray Weak against shotguns snipers.

I think they need something, but nothing too much. I never see a heavy in the game so they need a little help. Also they need to stay in line with the current buffs by body type so no special abilities.

my suggestions

  1. they have an extra pip (my fav suggestion)
  2. make hip accuracy MGs more accurate (slightly) or more damage (slightly)

I think giving auto kevlar ruins the abilities etc. I think giving more health could be ok, but then you can get an insane amount of health with abilities and command posts unless it limits it and then you have things like command posts less enticing for pubs.

I think the extra ability pip would be the best option so they can get in the thick of the battle and either self buff more or pass out more buffs. as it is now, theres no reason to get in the action as the smaller body types will just run circles around you.

However, they aren’t drastically out classed so nothing dramatic is needed.

Yeah either the body type or their guns need some fix.
In addition, make them immune to some knockdown.

Perhaps a slight speed buff, but something that is absolutely not arguable in my mind is the health increase. Right now there is really no incentive to use heavy. Theyre supposed to soak up damage and plant down a charge but theres no reason to use them when a medium can get there quicker and defend himself 2x as good.
