But for me, LC still need some buff.

 

Energy consumption should be increased by 100%. This mean it takes 2 seconds to get to full charge.

 

Upon firing the sniper shot, energy recharge increased to 200 energies per second.

hi frozen railgun which alteration would be the best for my shaft without compromising much on my aiming damage

I'm not @FrozenRailgun, but I can advise you to get the Short-band Emitters alteration, which has no ill effect on sniping damage.

Not great, but not terrible.

It'll grow on you. The faster rotation speed is pretty amazing in sniping mode. You'll see.

 

Don't forget to couple this with Hornet's OD and DD too.

Short-band emitter or Heavy Capacitor.

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

Very good. I'm proud of you for buying what is arguably the most fun kit IMO. Tried with LCs yet?

Bad. All I see are medium hulls, barely any light hulls.

 

But for my WO3 account, I need it. Seeing light hulls everywhere in WO rank bracket.

Shafts literally make 60% of my total deaths... And I'm rolling around on a 6/10 dictator m2 or a titan m2... :rolleyes:  I hate this overpowered stick. There's literally no way to tank it, DA up and you're still oneshot. It did NOT need a buff.

I'm not lying when I say in a match against an uranium m3 with drugs I died twice as often to the shafts instead. This gun literally makes me hate the game.

 

 

Yes, I prefer magnum to this stupid oneshot stick.

 

Can't wait to unlock eagle m2 and uranium to get my revenge.

You know what people like you have brought to Tanki? Nothing. You’ve made it worse. You have completely destroyed the fun of JGR battles and you should be ashamed of yourself. A sniper like Shaft MUST land one-hit kills. If a sniper shot you in real life, you wouldn’t even get to complain. The buff did almost nothing. In fact, out best alteration was nerfed into the ground, while you got off scot-free with that damned alteration. If you don’t even use DA on a 6/10 Titan M2, clearly you deserve to be one-shotted.

 

Don’t make me log onto my WO5 account and hunt for you with Hornet-Shaft, or I will target you and you only. If you wanna cry about Shaft, then suck it up and don’t make a big fuss. I’ve learned to stay away from JGR because it is infested with people like you. 

 

You want to stay off our radar? Then don’t use Dictator or Tian, but use something small like Hornet or Wasp.

 

And Striker M3s at your measly rank? Cut the crap and don’t lie. 

 

Come again to complain about our turret and how badly you hate it, and you’ll get consequences. Don’t make me repeat myself.

I'm going to assume you mean 60% of your recent deaths and not your total deaths. If it were your total deaths, that would have been amazing. 

 

My thoughts on Shaft at the moment: It seems like they're selling it as one of the turrets of the season. They've buffed the damage and buffed the energy recovery twice. That alone tells me that they want to increase the sales of it. 

 

Its effect on me: I for one was very glad that I could have one-shotted Vikings. They were the ones who survived my shots. They were the hardest to hit as well with they flat cuboid hitbox. They were prevalent and my only solution to those pests was Heavy Capacitors. After the buff, I did not need to use Heavy Capacitors as often as I did before since my Stock Shaft shots now kill most of them. I didn't think it needed another buff on its recovery speed but the devs did it and I'm seeing increased Shaft protections. But after that Magnum buff, I'm less a bit less Shaft protections and more magnum protections. 

 

Having the ability to one-shot an M4 medium hull at 5/20 upgrades on M3 Shaft is handy. It's roughly the same with Heavy Capacitors vs Stock Shaft. You use Stock Shaft for medium and light hulls and use Heavy Capacitors for medium and heavy hulls and light hulls if it's necessary. 

 

As for Striker: I'm tired of seeing Uranium rockets flying at me. All I see are Uranium Strikers and it's just so damn repetitive. There is nothing else they use. For Juggernaut, it's the Freezes and Strikers that really ruin it but the effect of Striker is diminishing with Viking's Overdrive on a whole. Viking's Overdrive allows many other turrets to obtain the kill. 

 

If you prefer Magnum to Shaft well then that's your choice. I use Magnum on this account and Shaft on my lower account. It's all about your playstyle and also what you could afford, really. 

 

 

Also, why are you going to buy Uranium? Isn't Stock Striker good enough?

Have you even read my post correctly?

 

For one, I can't play juggernaut with striker, as it's m1 10/10 and it counts as an m1 terminator, which sucks against the various m3s I constantly face, second, I don't have uranium cause guess what, I don't have the rank for it.

 

Third, I don't have a 6/10 titan m2, I have a 10/10 titan M1. The 6/10 is dictator m2. And do you expect me to have DA active 24/7? It has a thing called cooldown, and it's not always the best choice to spawn and press 2, you know.

 

Hornets are way easier to kill... One/Two DD rockets vs the 3-4 to kill the infinite heavies.

 

What kind of suggestion is this? Shafts pick off light hulls mainly and you suggest me to use them? What!?

 

Striker m3+uranium was my enemy, And it killed me less times than the random m1-2 shafts despite being fully drugged and likely mued to m4 (A brigadier with m3s, may as well consider it m4)..

 

Lastly, striker is NOT hitscan. You can dodge it (Especially uranium), you can break the lock on, it even does self damage.

 

Shaft on the other hand gains immense power in the span of a second by doing a quick scope shot. I've literally tried dictator shaft on a low account and it can dominate DMs by using 90% arcade shots. And oneshot anything that is too tough for arcades. It's broken.

 

 

And then we roll out on Hornets and put your Eagle dreams to shame :P

It's different, hornet's is a temporary buff, one of the strongest I might add, but the hull is weak by itself, and it's prone to getting killed as easily as it makes kills. Put shaft on a mammoth and you cannot oneshot it unless you're a shaft yourself, but he can easily oneshot you instead. So fair and balanced.

 

 

If you prefer Magnum to Shaft well then that's your choice. I use Magnum on this account and Shaft on my lower account. It's all about your playstyle and also what you could afford, really. 

 

 

Also, why are you going to buy Uranium? Isn't Stock Striker good enough?

 

I prefer facing magnums is what I mean, since it takes a little more skill than holding space, pressing 3, and releasing (For all the shafts I'm annoyed with).

 

Stock striker is good if you use DD all the time, or if you can land a cyclone salvo. Single rocket shots are often the main way of attack though, and dictator rocks easily enough to utilize the splash damage on surfaces.

Whoa whoa whoa.... since when I kept targetting you? :huh: If ya want to use Eagle, use it against me 1st before you are targeting other Shaft who does not accounts to your total deaths.

 

Dude... I faced Uranium myself. But I tried my very best to refrain myself from slap Orka module. I know how it feels when someone made my turret underpowered. And the feeling when someone's turret underpowered too. That's the reason when I use my signature combination, me only using M3 Eagle and M2 Spider.

IMO I like shaft when it was more niche, I don't want it to my the OP turret of the month and then get nerfed

Uh-oh, here comes Johnny!

 

LOL, I still play Juggernaut even when it's full of Uranium. :ph34r:

Shinkai Radar + Double Power + Shaft = One shot anything and can shut down Eagles.  :ph34r:

Am I that 60% of your total death?  :huh:

Man - we all know you hate Shaft. Your Dictator M2.9 has only 2607 hp, which means that (since the DA and assumed DD cancel out) it only takes Shaft M2.2 to one-shot you. That's why you use Eagle, and that's why we use Hornet. Remember, if we use Hornet, we're susceptible to so many other turrets that can one-shot us. And if we use Hornet, we can't stand a melee range attack. So it's a trade-off. We also don't always have ODs on, because they nerfed Hornet's OD. 

 

We, in turn, don't spend our time commenting that we hate Uranium Striker, then taking screenshots of our own comments, and posting it in the LdStriker topic :P

[Initiate 1,306]

I just realized - your Dictator M2.9 is nothing. I can, with my current Shaft, one-shot any Dictator hull below M3 15/20. Ha!

I think at M4 with Booster 20/20, Assault Emitter, and DD a single arcade shot can do that.
