Let's Discuss Shaft!

These might be a problem. To solve that, I'm getting Winter.

Why not wait enough for jade?

Or will u not wait for long enough

Look at the rank that unlocks and ask me that silly question again. I'm getting Winter as my Shaft protection paint - end of...

But then railgun/smoky/close range weapons will have full effectiveness on you... winter would only really be useful in a map like Stadium or Seruphov and other big maps with 3+shafts on each team lol.

 

Jade's 25% rail protection and extra 7% shaft protection is worth the wait in my opinion, as ZiAa said since all those maps full of shafts usually contain lots of railgunners as well.

Surprisingly shaft will be more of a skill weapon to use after the new physics update releases.A very quick charge time - 1-2 seconds for it to charge it's shot.But after you have taken your shot,you will be very vulnerable against mostly everything as far as i'm aware.But after the update,i'm predicting that shaft will not be used on Silence or any other small maps because or it's long recharge time.

You're assuming that I find the same turrets as a hindrance as you. Don't do that. Also, Shaft is going to be buffed and will be used more often because of that. Right now, I'm using Hornet M2 so Shafts are gonna take me out. Perhaps, when I get Viking and Titan M2, they won't be much of a problem but still, it'll be annoying.

 

Let's not forget that I can't unlock Jade for a long time and I can't keep using Jaguar and Alien for much longer.

 

I may get Loam though. Sure, it's your opinion but I didn't actually ask for it, and if you ARE going to give me one regardless, the least you can do is not assume my other opinions on things relevant to the situation. At least put yourself in my shoes when giving advice.

Thanks, I'm a really hardcore sniper. My second record is 77 kills, 0 deaths with my Railgun M1.

Shaft is the way

[Vikingsrallentando 3,058]

In the test server Shaft had a lot of power...but its reload was horrendously slow. Perhaps it will reduce its efficiently even less than what it is currently?

Don't think so, you can now use shaft with fast tanks, u can hide and target, and you can get into falling bonuses unlike before, 

even in DM we tried shaft, it was amazing, steals kills much better than rail. and this time you will certainly be able to kill a coming hornet with isida before they kill you, unlike before, after it zooms in its turning speed got faster now as well. 

Imagine in polygon if u get into the tower, u can just hide, until u reload u go and snipe then hide again. while before the new physics most players were staying static.

Now there is no need to sit and keep on zooming not knowing whats going on around you, and thats the amazing part. 

Prodigi was the preferable paint before because of the rail guns fear, but now Picasso will be number 1 after shaft will get in action.

Then you can microupgrade picasso to have 35% anti rail protection and up to 45% anti shaft, and up to 35% anti thunder, and same with anti freeze. 

RIco wont be of a great threat as people think.

shaft will gonna be feared and all will have jade and winter :(

[Piety 70]

Shall I upgrade my prodigi because I will have around 50 rail protection, 25 or 30 shaft and 35 thunder?

wrong,you mucroupgrade it

silly you :P

and yes,you should

[Piety 70]

I think emerald prodgi inferno and rock irbis will be the best to micro upgrade.

And how much will it cost to upgrade a paint fully

[I3rilliant 503]

shaft will gonna be feared and all will have jade and winter :(

This includes me. I can just tell Shaft is gonna get on my nerves (though on this account, I'll be one of them)

[Piety 70]

Shaft will be just too much of a low life thing. It's better than one of those japanese hackers coming to enhance the railgun without a developer knowing. I wonder if tanki is under new management due to shafts op status.

 

I mean having 2 or 3 shafts in a battle makes u go nuts and to leave battle but if they going to be more on the rise then there will be huge trouble and havoc. I guess wasps for that reason won't be out in battle as much and Viking and dictstor more out

[HaloScorpion 79]

shaft will gonna be feared

That's why I'm gonna get Dirty, or Python :D

get python ;)

way cooler :D

Yes its a very good idea, because rail will still be a big threat, they can shoot while moving around. While if u waste all crystals on picasso u will be left with nothing to upgrade neither prodigi nor picasso, paints upgrade will take a lot of crystals, and M3 items full upgrades will cost X 2 times the price of an m3 item

holy,it will take you like 3 months of intensive playing to upgrade an combo m3 without your paint :mellow:

is a lot
