Phoenix Buff predictions

(Adam) #1

First off, Phoenix is a GREAT class combat wise, and medic wise. But I do see areas he will be buffed up on… Phoenix is the ONLY class SD has released that hasn’t been OP. This is just out there, here are my predictions for Phoenix’s buff.

  1. Phoenix is going to get a buff. (duh)
  2. Phoenix’s combat stuff will stay as is.
  3. Phoenix’s movement and hp will stay as is.
  4. Self rez tool will have the cool down removed.
  5. Healing wave ring you see on the ground will be brighter.
  6. The healing wave’s minimum cool down, will be dropped to 3 seconds, instead of 5, and peak at 5, instead of 7.

That’s it. We shall check back next patch, to see how correct I am.

Prediction: I am 100% correct.

you’re trolling?

healing peaks at 12, not 7

He does good for a medic, no need for a buff.

From what I saw in game, he’s in a good enough state. No need for a buff IMO.

I think if anything they’ll change the cooldown for cancelling the heal.

If you don’t use it why should you be punished for it? This isn’t Fragger’s Nades

Uhm I have yet to see someone do really bad with Phoenix, including myself and I’m not even using a real gun :wink: .

Ofcourse some other mercs perform well in the first or two weeks till everyone adapted to them (Phantom, Nader, Rhino…), but to be honest I don’t see something similar at work with Phoenix. There is not much counterplay to learn against him. Unlike the other medics there is no way to deny him the heal, defib is defib. Selfrevive is situational at best and while sometimes saves the day, isn’t what makes him great.

Only thing that shuts him down is winning the one on one and finishing him.
Not exactly rocket science, right?

While I like him alot (definitive the medic of my choice) and think he is fine as is,
I kinda forsee a small nerf rather then a buff. Maybe a bit longer till the full HP tops out. Or the AOE is getting adjusted. Or the Keks effectiveness gets put down a notch again (if the numbers on the other mercs agree).

But maybe the good performance is just because of the new health insurance XP and they tweak that down.

Red eye wasn’t and isn’t op, in fact kind of the opposite. Also, are you trolling?
