Let's Discuss Shaft!

[r_Koobi0 31]

maybe at low ranks that is possible,but at high ranks,if someone drugging,you might start a druggwar

At high ranks, it's very rare to not come across a drug war :P

They can only dent my Mammoth, and when Wasp; they can't keep up aiming properly.

Shafts can only win, if they aim for enemies right infront of them... not even considering they'll need to aim for Wasps or Hornets to make a kill.

 

In other words; why use Shaft, if there's Railgun on the market.

because with an m1shaft you can take out half of the health of a mammoth and one shot all of the light hulls and the the best of my knowledge almost all of the medium hulls as well. they are also great for kill stealing so you can move up in the battle rankings quickly and get lots of money.

[wild001 786]

in my rank, rarely see shaft, unless in very big map like Kurgur, monto carlo, lost temple,

 

in small map and medium map, railgun is more useful than shaft as attacker and defend,

 

as railgun require only fast movememt to survive, while shaft require large distance to survive.

but shaft users in pro battles are good,they 1 shoot light hulls if the hulls dont have protectives against shaft,but is a bit annoying to camp

[alex_is_the_best 87]

it is, cause you don't get extra crystals by picking them up only from the reward crystals... even sometimes when gold drops shaft players stay in their camp place and don't care about trying to catch the gold

After the rearrange of turrets' properties, shaft became a very annoying weapon in a middle to large map with many players. Either on a heavy armored hull like mammoth from the other side of the map, or with high mobility hornet moving towards the cender areas and dealing damage both in sniper mode and in common mode.

So, yea, it's a powerfull weapon.

On the other hand, most players have certain preferances for certain turrets, so it makes sence that all turrets should have some pros against the others. In this case I think shaft became overpowered and a very disturbing opponnent. Because no matter how strong it is or may be in the future, I simply don't like it and will not use it.

(I used to feel smoky as a very annoying opponent, but shaft clearly took its place ha ha ha!)

[Dragonfire235 2]

You won't be laughing once there are 3-4 Shafts pointing at all entrances .. . happened in one Silence battle I was in. Nobody could capture anything! :lol:

Same here but on serpuhov and me friends told how horrible it was on combe with one mammoth shaft at the enemies flag

[Dragonfire235 2]

Most annoying weapon on large maps but are usually at the top of the leaderboard. my friends dont care about gold reeward gets you enough thats what they say. Monte carlo and serphov are very annoying deaths. could get m1 mammoth with m1 shaft  very good combination you know

Except for camp: obnoxious for having an horrendous number of mammy-shafts...

Ive got m1 shaft-mammy combo. I know how that feels...

 

WARWARWARWARWARWARWARWAR...camp?

[khaenn35 5]

Instead, they see the enemy guys running for it and kill them, making them rage  :angry:  B)  :P

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

is cool to camp with wasp shaft in small places xD

[Vettefan22 145]

Mhmm. You can get to parkour-only places and convince the entire other team your a hacker XD

[pizzaslad 471]

IMO Shaft is better with Mediums and Heavies but if I used it with a light it would be Wasp. You are not going to stay in the middle of a map with a Hornet. Instead, you will stay to the sides. In some maps there are areas that are highly inaccessible but hulls expect for Wasp. They usually are small gaps that it is hard to shot from. But with Shaft, you can get a nice clear shot and it will be hard to see a Wasp.

[Vettefan22 145]

Wasp best with:

 

Shaft

Rail

Thunder

Smoky

Ricochet

Twins

Isida

Firebird

Freeze

 

yes :)

[pizzaslad 471]

Since this is the Shaft topic wouldn't you compose a list of hulls that go best with Shaft then a list of Wasp??

 

P.S That list in off big time.

[Vettefan22 145]

I bolded Shaft, to relate to topic .-.

 

And it is my list, not the world's list. It isn't off to me ._.

 

But since you requested another one of my lists...

 

Hulls that Go Best with Shaft:

 

NONE! It is the same experience, no matter what hull you use. Snipe is always same.

[pizzaslad 471]

Erk just sayin'  But some hulls are better off with some turrets with others. If not, everyone would have the same pair. E.G With Rail, everyone would have Dictator etc.

[Vettefan22 145]

To me, only Twins is not best with Wasp. .-. It goes to Hornet .-.

[pizzaslad 471]

Maybe there is one exception - Nas000

[justin_the_prosurfer 1,116]

we all have to know and come to the fact that shaft is better than rail in sniping

 

and yes shaft m1 could of 1 shot mammoth m2 is was way over power

 

I have been using it for about 3 and a half years in all my acc I find it's worthy

[Vettefan22 145]

We all know that Railgun is better for everything that isn't sniping from far away .-.
