    That would put the stalker bolter at 5 points off AC damage on a tactical with better accuracy. You could 1 shot base armor supports with a headshot.

  2. o_OAND the longest autocannon thread award goes to... this fucking thread. Man if you guys couldn't solve the problem or reconcile your differences in the first 11 pages, what makes you think it will happen in the next 11... waste of time, go play.

    To be fair either way you are just wasting time, that's what games were meant to do.

    playing not only for yourself anyone?

    Also, i am curious, what exactly is broken in fist JA and, more importantly, fist GA?

    The fact we can't play tank tennis! #makefistgreatagain . Every man is entitled to know the boundless joy of punching a tank off harkus bridge or into the meduse lava pits.

  6. I do find fun in suppressing the baddies so my team can survive gunfire and/or move in for melee takedowns.

    Quit being so selfish @Dreadspectre! Geez... :p

  7. Jeez i was the stalker bolter was still good.

    And that chaos still had it. It was partially why i stopped playing, i genuinely liked the stalker that much.

    I'm also aware it was removed from the ruinous powers ages ago but still.

    Ok not that high then sorry I don't know the base dmg for stalker off top of my head. Alright maby 8-10 pts then idk it's something. I know stalker is one of the worst guns right now and feel like a dmg boost would help, where the range of that dmg varies I'm not too sure for balance sake

    Pls dont dare touc the AC or it will just become plasma weapons no. 2 in the way its going to be useless.

    AC has a serious drawback: you have the use that gimp of a class havok. This is a serious enough nerf in itself. it also has bad accuracy and cant shoot through low obstacles (ie devastator/havok syndrome). while aiming and firing you have a bad field of view, ultra slow movement and constrained mouse sensitivity which makes aiming more difficult. enough nerfing.

    the only redeeming factor which might not compensate for the long list of negatives is that it does good damage WHEN it hits. and when you arent assault jumped

    Honestly I don't care where the AC goes but come on don't bring the Havoc as an argument for anti nerfs

    Havoc is like the better of the heavies gunners anyway, can basically move at the speed of a speed amped Reaper with his MoS for 50% of the cost of the Reapers imo mandatory speed boost item and can take cheap armour with it and still get a 600lp gun, he can also build into different roles with his marks like higher toughness MoN, speedy MoS which is my favorite or even a cover hogger MoT which make him more interesting than other heavies as you can have more build variety.

    Also over half his armory actually works for the class, looking at you tempest launcher and half of the reaper launcher

    The only other heavy I would say compares is the Ork loota who is like the most durable one and basically gets a suppressing auto cannon in 30k boxes, although thanks to the box lock its not as spammed as much and his hit box is massive also damn the plasma deffgun hurts
