Blunderbus gonna replace ice spikes?

You have to be extremely close to hit all the pellets, well within the range of most melee weapons. I don’t think I need to list the number of abilities you can respond with.

You can be way out of melee range and hit all headshots.

@Kippp Not with the ability used in the video above. That is what we are talking about. And no, its not easy to hit all headshots with it. If you are in the PTR right now we can duel.

Right? So does any other scream combo. This one just guaranteed one shots.

Lower damage and higher accuracy reduces the reliance on roots and stuns.

@Lightzy Right, except the spike combo came out instantly and from farther range with spike. This was over multiple seconds with the characters touching each other and multiple attacks and abilities being carted. If you can’t see the difference I can’t explain it to you any better. Your opinions on this stuff tend to be very biased. You are clearly a VG user and not a GA one.

idk why everyone is in a fuss…just because the weapon hurts some people they will cry and cry until its another nerfed useless weapon, why cant people just let the game be interesting instead of EVERYthing being perfectly balanced and avoidable and just easymode…big damage is fun, crazy combos is fun, in large scale pvp with people dieing left and right , crazy plays… let mayhem be

200 CON, also blunderbus has only 1.15 crit dmg modifier and a no critrate increase via perk. No need for resilient since you can’t go below 1.0x modifiert.

the scary part is the bulk of those shots are not crits or head shots. You get a skilled player dropping head shot point blank range is going to be nasty as hell.

@Nabel It’s better to aim at the body with it rather than the head from what I have seen.

imagine 5 blunderbus bombarding the flag with 3m radius per hit.

The reason we provide feedback is because we want the game to be interesting but not become another balance mess. This has nothing to do with crying. Blunderbus in this state is gonna dominate PvP and erase people from the battlefield in one vs ones just as in wars and OPR.
In the end we gonna lose more players you will see.

Well first it’s brand new everyone will want to try it.

Secondly, it’ll be OP on release and everyone will want to use it. I imagine OPR’s, Wars, Invasions, OWPvP, Expeditions will all be filled with the sounds of handcannons exploding onto enemies.

So it will probably be coupled with IG, but in some cases it will replace it. Until they nerf it into the ground and everyone jumps on the next fotm.

This is simply the life cycle of something new in an mmo.

Right - someone made a nerf topic about insane burst on a weapon dropped yesterday. The weapon has over 300 weapon damage.

But no - the issue is VG and the damage is fine.

And I’m biased.

Like musket the targeting radical is off. shots are slighting down and to the left. the ac perk may also tighten the spread I have not tested it yet.

if you aim with rightclick it’s 10 times better, but you’re slower then

blunder , like i said, is close rang, period…with a bow or a musket, firestaff or ice gauntlet…hell, even a void gauntlet…blunder gets nuked, 9 times out of 10…stop watching videos of the damn thing and actually go use it in a pvp setting against DIFFerent people with DIFFerent weapons…its balanced…its got a reward for being in your face and completely useless at a distance other than cc

Yeah it’s funny how these people fall for these cherry picked videos of glass cannons nuking people. You realize these videos exist for every weapon.

While I get your point here it raises another one that’s been problematic throughout the entire game.

The devs seem to have been nerfing everything for months now. All in response to people who don’t want to be stopped or prevented.

In this case it’s the same argument we continually hear that seems to encapsule it.

Some players don’t want to be countered. They don’t want anything active in the world that poses a serious threat to them.

We saw it earlier in the nerfs to world bosses. The list goes continues.

would also like to point out, once they use shrapnel…you are on cd…and unless they stand in your face you arent doin anymore damage to them with it… ill be honest, i used it for tanking cause its got a ranged taunt thats easy to peel with but for pvp…it doesnt seem that fun for me, gimmicky tbh
