Isida healing mod needed

[Frazman 14]

Recently I've noticed in PRO battles (in Kungur) that certain individuals with Thunder and a heavy hull apparently have enlisted friends with Isida to do nothing for the entire battle except sit beside them and heal them even while the Thunder is in full view taking hits. It's almost impossible to kill the Thunder and you can't get to the Isida to kill the Isida without being taken out by the Thunder or one of their teammates. This creates an unfair advantage IMO and defeats the purpose of PRO battle in the first place which is supposed to emphasize skill, not just sitting in one place blasting everyone.

 

I think Tanki should consider some sort of modification to alleviate this. My first thought would be to limit the amount of healing that an Isida can do without attacking an opponent. Perhaps the healing and attacking functions could have separate level indicators, and once the healing is gone they must attack in order to recover it. So attacking an opponent would restore the healing level. This would force the Isidas to engage in attacks and not just sit in one place for an entire battle healing teammates.

 

Does anyone else think this is a problem and have any other ideas on how to fix it?

LAME, every gun have its own specialty. since the specialty of isida is healing and you limit the the amount of healing it would be like an abuse to all those healers..

[Eragon 13,876]

Its called "skill", out smart the thunder ;) 

[Promissory 569]

It's just a tactic. Use tactics too, use decoys, or something else.

It wouldn't be an abuse, it would simply prevent Isidas from sitting in a passive position for the whole battle and force them to attack opponents. It would provide more balance to the game. Tanki has made many modifications to balance battles, and some of those have weakened some turrets. By your logic any such balancing would be an "abuse." Nonsense.

I can tell you have never been in one of those battles.

[Frazman 14]

No no no. That tactic is skill. If you can't beat it, copy it!

That would involve me recruiting someone with an Isida to sit beside me for entire battles doing nothing but healing me. But since I think that's a dumb thing to do, I wouldn't ask someone else to do it even if I could.

[Frazman 14]

Thoughtful comments would be appreciated . . .

[Frazman 14]

Your funeral.

Maybe you missed the part about "thoughtful comments would be appreciated."

I'm just saying if you want to kill the Thunder and Isida, try adopting the same topic. There's nothing wrong with a tactic.

Meh I never seen it or done it but maybe I'll start (as the thunder guy)

I understand your point, but this tactic requires having an arrangement with someone with an Isida who is willing to just sit there the whole battle. If you have teams on both sides doing it, that just ruins the battle for everyone. If everyone just sits and blasts at the other side with an Isida beside them the whole time, what's the point? I'm trying to suggest a solution which would create more dynamic battles by forcing Isidas to attack more. I think just adopting the same tactic would make the game less enjoyable. But I've only started noticing it recently so maybe not very many people having been frustrated by it yet.

Isida is designed as a healing tank that sits behind other tanks healing them. This is why Isida has it's healing effect or she wouldn't have this speciality.

There's no need to downvote everyone who disagrees with you. I think the healing power for Isida is fine.

[I.EatMyBullets 497]

Tactics.. Use them, get freeze and come.from behind them..

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

There's always the option of grabbing Thunder and using the splash damage to destroy the Isida. I've done that multiple times.

Yes, I know that. And my suggestion wouldn't remove that feature; it would only affect guys who sit and do nothing but heal without attacking. It wouldn't affect Isidas who heal and attack. Maybe you should read my comment more carefully, I wasn't saying that Isidas shouldn't be able to heal.

[Frazman 14]

People downvote me, so I'm returning the favor. But I'm only voting down comments which are thoughtless and dismissive. As I said to another commenter, I'm not talking about taking away the healing from Isida, just a modification so that they have to attack as well. Many Isidas already do this, so they would be unaffected.

[Frazman 14]

No, in the battles I'm talking about that doesn't work (and I have tried - I have freeze and thunder both).

Doesn't work on Kungur when the Isida is hiding behind buildings. You can't get around the corner to splash them without getting taken out. Trust me, I have M4 Thunder and I've destroyed many tanks with splash damage. I'm not a noob.

Those guys are easy to kill. Just take a railgun and take pot-shots. The isida can't heal forever.

[ExtremeKiller26 443]

You aren't alone. And you are talking about Kungur. It's VERY easy to flank on Kungur. Or you can call your own teammates and tell them to kill him. Also, don't give me the lame "they iz russianz, how i talk with them?" (No offence :))

[kayitsiz 621]

Use shaft-double power

You cannot kill it with pot shots if it keeps on using heal whenever The isida cannot heal.. They are unstoppeble

[danilo8667 234]

I don't agree with this.
