Let's Discuss Shaft!

[Amagi 1,728]

I'm starting to get bored with my M3 Shaft, and I don't know why.

 

I just don't feel excited when using it anymore.

Actually there was 2 shafter. Other one was powerfull than me, but he/she entered the game in the last 2 minute

 

anton-killer was probably

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

[to loackie] Nice ... You are a shaft user too?

Loackie doesn't use Shaft. He dislikes those who camp, but otherwise he tolerates more mobile Shafters.

I would definitely take Sandstone over Corrosion, but it's a lot more expensive.

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

well, my doubt is cause of the price, my crys is just becoming 100 k and for TH+HU+SH+SS will become about 225K

 

got to play hard :D

 

thanks anyways :)

İ am not Thekillerpenguin, but i bought that paint and that was a mistake in my opinion.

Shaft protect doesn't save me against double shaft shot.

Lots of M3 railgunners kill me with 2 shot.

Twins protection is just comic.

Eh! Thunder protection works

 

İf you wanna get low damage, good. it doesn't save you being one-hitted against railgun and shaft with double power

 

Just thunder and twins protection(!) works...

Haven't you read any of my earlier replies? On this thread as well as in other threads regarding why I dislike shaft?

Ok there are many reasons I hate shaft . Since you asked I will politely list down 2 of my reasons.

 

1) Shaft simply gives birth to noobs- While playing with shaft one simply CANNOT move his hull. Getting to know how to move your tank around is a great skill that is even hard to be mastered at the highest level of this game. (If you have seen any of the starseries matches you may have seen those players moving in reverse "knowing" the map and the stats of their hull like the back of their hand) do you think such skills are earned easily and playing with shaft will help a player grow such skills?

The same thing goes with targeting and many other sets of skills well. A player who is avidly playing with his beloved shaft may lose his targeting, turret rotation, turret hull co ordination etc, in the long run. These skills play a vital role while playing with every single one of those other turrets in this game. Not to mention if such players are planning to enter an official tournament or a recognized clan in starladder in latter stages of their game it is then they will realize that their career has been ruined by shaft.

I know what you are thinking of right now... Doesnt shafts arcade mode/being a mobile Shafter help one improve his skills? Yes it does, but the amount it helps is minimal due to the fact that you do the same thing 100x times more with every other combo.

 

2) Shaft totally ruins the dynamic centered gameplay of this game- I really really don't understand the reason why shaft was introduced to this game in the first place. After it was added it totally ruined the dynamic gameplay which was was one of the greatest aspects of this game. ( Maybe this is one of the reasons why shaft is being hated by many other players? )

 

I can list down many more reasons. But I wont waste my time going into them since I think these 2 will be clearly enough to prove my point. I don't also blame lower rankers for choosing shaft either. The main reason being shaft I really OP at lower ranks and they will simply be choosing it because of the high damage and the lack of protection paints against it at that level.

 

You might also want to know whether I have any experience with shaft to be talk like this. Yes , I do. In one of my alts I have a M4 shaft and I have used it for quite some time. I was at the exact same spot currently most of you guys are in, admiring shaft. It's just I don't want to see damage done to my skills at the beginning of my career ( which led me to start over) to be done to any other lower ranker.

Meh,Even being a shafter, I know the maps I play at like the back of my hands :)

 

well,as I play do a lot of rotationg,targeting and arcade hitting, Im so not losing my targeting,rotation, etc

and I dont play with shaft all the time so my playing will be ruined,

 

and neither I want to enter the SL, I just want to have fun of the game :)

[kayitsiz 621]

That was the last thing on that game :D

just maybe 0.3 second ago

 

 

By the way, actually with new aiming system and laser system force player to doing something. Unfortunately, dictator takes too much shot because shape and laser just allow you use some small angles, but with good shafters, anyway you can do that.

 

Viking and Hunter are goos choices for that map.
