[MERC] Zeus


(gg2ez) #1

“Feel the wrath of my lightning!”

Assault, 140HP, 390SP.

Entrepreneurial status doesn’t mean much when you’re living in a world divided by war, Zeus learnt that the hard way. Before the DB conflicts, Zeus was the majority shareholder of a multi-billion dollar research and development company. His most prized asset was his company’s cutting edge weaponry, the most powerful one being “Project Zeus”, or more commonly known as the " Lightning Cannon". With the world’s economy now broken after the DB incident, Zeus now earns his money on the battlefield.

Primary Ability - Lightning Cannon
Zeus obliterates his enemies with his Lightning Cannon, firing a single beam of concentrated electricity hot enough to evaporate even explosives. Upon activation, Lightning Cannon locks Zeus into place and he can only rotate, however, at a slower rate. The beam lasts for 3 seconds and has a cooldown of 30 seconds. Direct exposure to the Lightning Cannon does 90DMG per second.

Loadouts include Driess AR, M4, and LMG, Semi-Auto Pistols, and Regular melee.

Writers notes: This merc is designed for some of our more “direct” players out there, people that like Fragger and such so feedback from tank players are appreciated.

This is quite low for an assault class ability weapon, the blishlok does 120 DPS if you hit the body, so i think this could be buffed to around 150, maybe give it a max range it would work at.

@sentimentalDime You’re kidding. This thing is about half as wide as Kira’s Oribital Laser and penetrates through targets. You could wipe out a camping Rhino team by focusing on them for 3 seconds. I might buff the Lightning Cannon a small amount by increasing the duration but I’m probably not going to change damage ratings.

Cool idea! Very interesting. But I think you should change the Dreiss to maybe a Timik or a BR-16. With an LMG and an M4 to choose from, I feel almost no one will use the Driess.

@gg2ez This is definitely one of your best ideas and most likely to get into the game from all the suggestions I’ve seen from anybody.

I think that this is a rather stupid class made to counter stupid people. Grouping up together with Rhinos is practically asking for suicide by fire support classes. I’m sorry, but this isn’t a smart class to be playing as, because said Rhinos or a competent team would shred through a target with 140 HP very quickly.

@astoundingShellfish in a good way or bad way?

Yep, I made it to counter you.

How is a team of Rhinos gonna shred through me from half a map away? Think about it @JJMAJR

@wolvie Thank you! I’ll keep your suggestions in mind!
