Going in a DM with shaft is very very stresfull!!

even if you use double power non-stop is still not very enjoyable,best place for shaft is CTF >_>

It's not just the drugs. When you're sniping people will start to target you. And with very few to no allies you are guaranteed to be killed

[M1-A2 840]

Like I just said in my other post DMs are enjoyable until people start to target you.

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

That is why you need a medium hull for shaft , to be able to run away quickly and still have enough HP to sustain some hits

[M1-A2 840]

I do have a medium hull. Viking m2

[anuclearbomb 220]

you see, now shaft is actually really usefull(i capture flags in my shaft-wasp combo untill i get hornet m2) and because of the self destruct is less a death thing(you know what i mean) people don't want to self destruct, and if you can just hit the top or a flipped tank, it will go from --- to | and then you can shot the highest bit of the tank again, and then they will be fine if they have a recoiless weapon, that and with shaft and wasp i have earned over 100k in crystals(put in to m1 fire,shaft,izzy,titan,wasp,hornet and maybe smokey dictator) if you cannot decipher what i have said in the paragraph above, i might beak it down.

[M1-A2 840]

I prefer using shafts massive impact force to flip my enemies over and then leaving them to self destruct. But I do still flip my teammates over if they need it.

To put my earnings into perspective, I have achieved my current rank (major) and earned more than 300k crystals using only shaft. I find it extremely useful in many situations

[r_blackflag2220 15]

i really like shaft...i just need it m1. people say shaft is bad and takes no skill, but there totally wrong! shaft is a great weapon and takes quite a bit of skill.

[M1-A2 840]

Agreed. While it doesn't take as much skill to aim, using it effectively is a different story.

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

Well sometimes aiming is hard . Because for example the enemy just has a tiny bit of him exposed you need skill to hit him .

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

yep...

[M1-A2 840]

Forgot about that. Controling the movement in scope mode while aiming at a hidden enemy is hard,

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

Yea and when in full scope it moves in an horizontal 8 so yea that is why it is hard to snipe sometimes

[M1-A2 840]

I have made some pretty pro shots before. That's is why shaft is so powerful. You would rarely see a railgun make that kind of shot. Shafts ability to make deadly precise shots is why a lot of people want it nerfed.

[Chameleos 157]

can you guys still hit the enemies gun barrels if they're hiding behind a slim wall?

i used to do that before the various balances cx

[M1-A2 840]

Yes it's really hard but still possible

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

hiting a barrel and the tank getting destroyed is a really unique shaft ability xD

[TheTeramon 5]

One of the reasons why I considered leaving shaft in my garage to rot is simply one reason: My stupid frikin teammates pushing me off the cliff in silence. If you are camping on that cliff in blue team on silence, you are in danger if being pushed off by your newbie teammates overeager to jump off the cliff, where they probably await swift death anyway. Sometimes if they are big noobs they will push you off the cliff for fun. Haha. Well if you are using viking or something, push back, and shoot in the direction opposite your sabotuer, so the recoil helps you push him away. Then will hit that pile of rocks and move no further. Keep pushing. He deserves a little time out.

[M1-A2 840]

I snipe from blue all the time and rarely have that problem. However, you can get your viking on the red side of the wall so they can't push you.

The skill comes in finding camping areas. A skilled shafter can find a spot that is hard to see but easy to shoot from. This can be used in the advantage of hiding in bushes in enemy territory.

[M1-A2 840]

Not always because at a certain range shaft can see through bushes.
