I didn't have much choice when I started my second account. If I had any advice to give, it would be don't use the Mantis.

 

On the contrary, I think that using a Mantis is the least that one could do for a Gold team at level 1. You'd be more helpful then some scrubby newbie using a Raptor, at any rate.

The least you could do is bring a Mantis.

That's the one. I was planning a "surprise, it's me" message, when I received a "thanks for the games Rusty". I couldn't have been less obvious if I'd called my alt 20stekcubytsur.

I never asked at what point you worked it out?

Well, unknown player joins game and proceeds to kill stuff even faster than t0riko or Jan, kinda narrowed down the list of possibilities, and the fact that the name contained a clue was enough. And as I recall, I had a wave in spectator mode to figure it out

 

Looks like I need to add two to my list of people to burn in the reactor

Think you pre-emptively completed that challenge already

True. Allow me to rephrase: looks like I need to add two to my list of people to reburn in the reactor mwahahahahahahahaha!!

I would have thought that it would be obvious that I meant to say not to use the Raptor, based on what I linked. But apparently, I would be wrong. In any case, I meant to say not to use the Raptor, and messed up my post. It was an honest mistake. The Mantis would be a good choice. But it's cute how you completely missed the point of the link, regardless of my error.

As above.

It's going to be far better than any of the other common weapons, besides maybe a Katana, and it's going to be best on the Infiltrator due to tac cloak (~ 1900 damage a shot). Whereas a Soldier wielding an Avenger *needs* some kind of piercing to efficiently (more or less) damage an armored enemy, the Mantis (and Katana...I guess) hits hard enough that it can function well enough without any mods/equipment. Other classes can of course use the Mantis/Katana too, but the Infiltrator - as far as straight weapon damage goes - does it better.

 

To sum up: I didn't mean to be snide, I guess I was just opining that the HI does fine on Gold - especially in a squad.

 

While I don't typically bother with the maths in this game, you're not factoring in the damage reduction from armor, which I believe is %50 (? someone feel free to correct me). With no armor mitigation of any type on the Mantis, you are now looking at 950 damage, which is quite pitiful vs any Gold boss, especially factoring in the ROF ... I wouldn't consider that Gold viable in the slightest.

 

To kill a Gold Atlas like that, you would probably have to visit an ammo box before taking it down.

Armour damage reduction on gold is a flat 50 points of damage, not a percentage.

Edit: so for example a mantis I on a HI shooting out of tactical cloak would do 1866 damage to armour instead of 1912

^lol, like I said .. me no math video games

 

Edit: Where's the nearest Sudoku?

Why would you focus on bosses when you've just started an alt account and already jumped to Gold?

I didn't miss the point of your post - I knew you meant Raptor. I thought that this was an attempt at humor (however dry or self-deprecative it might have been) and I was trying to play along (hence the quote pyramid and obvious "knock" at a "scrubby Raptor newbie") with your support of the Mantis.

I thought there was some *wink wink nudge nudge* going on but I appear to have been wrong. I apologize if you thought I was serious - I didn't mean it in that way

Nonsense. My "scrubby Raptor newbie" alt rekts everything on the map in pugs. Mantis is fun but it can't touch dat sustained deeps.

Of course, you need to not worry about lesser race concerns such as bad aim or "being able to feel your hand and wrist".

Seeing as I'm a dedicated purveyor of sarcasm, I am definitely the one to blame for this. Carry on.

I apologize

This would be more of a threat if it wasn't going to happen anyway.

Besides I've seen your so called list. A piece of paper with "EVERYONE" written in big letters does not a list make.

Thanks. It goes both ways though, and I can totally see where I may have come off as a dick. Glad to see that isn't the case

that list WAS PRIVATE!!!

 

 

 

 

Now they know...

 

*sigh*

 

thwarted yet again

[Terminator Force]

I didn't notice it. And no one does it better at coming off like that then me is what I usually hear. So nice try if you think you can de-throne me. ... Oh, and I got a great theme for next time you can get a full lobby.

Indeed. Predicting the inevitable requires no talent

 

Also, I finally got Sniper Rifle Piercing Mod I. Hallelujah.
