Let's Discuss Overdrives

[wolverine848 13,097]

It was M2 5/10 isida vs M1 titan :P

Hmmm...

 

m2=720... m3=882.... m2.5 ~ 800 damage/second.  nanobots = -50% damage = 400/second.

 

Under Dome... 400/second -85% = 60 damage/second.  Healing = 200/second.  <_<

 

Can't be done.  The Titan was NOT under the Dome.  Near it maybe?  But definitely not under it.

It was sitting flat in the middle ._.

I know... a Rail/Hornet with OD hit it at same time as your anemic nanobots was tickling it.  ;)

-_- no.... it was a parkour battle with just me and my friend.

Perhaps that was just a bug and the poor Titan was just unlucky enough to be the victim of it.

Forget mammoth, titans dome is the real OP here.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

The only way Viking OD can kill people in the dome is with max Booster. Tested this myself.

I only managed to kill the Titan dome-owner, and wasn't able to kill any other hulls in the dome with Twins Heavy Plasma +OD.

That's what makes me think the Titan doesn't get healed like others in his dome, and he is vulnerable.

Titan gets healed.  I use Titan-Ricco for DM missions.  Fought off 3 separate tanks simultaneously while under the dome. barely had a scratch.

And i could see my health being repaired - 50-per-tic.

 

No idea how Dark.Angle killed a Titan under the dome using - of all things - Isida with nanobot alteration. :blink:

Its not angle...but anyways, since you just would not believe me, I tried it again, and I still managed to kill my friend in the dome. He had Half health when I did this.

maybe you were lagging so you didn't deal dalage at first... and the after a few seconds you dealt all that accumulated damage at once to instantly kill him.

Obvs not by a lot when in the dome, as it is possible to kill it with a barrage from Twins.

The protection is only 85%. Assuming your Twins is M3.5, your damage range would be 36-42. That coupled with the Viking's Overdrive, is enough to outpower a Titan under its dome, even without double damage.

Not really. Its pretty easy to kill people in the dome with viking's overdrive which shouldn't be the case.

And you can kill them without the Overdrive as well. It's just impractical to do so in the heat of battle where your fire could be focused elsewhere. 

 

A Wasp Bomb deals about 1,500 damage to enemies inside the dome if they're at the centre of the explosion. The impact force of the explosion can be used to flip some hulls.

Yes.  Full M4.

I think the figures may be a bit on the low side, because the Heavy Plasmagun alt scores more per hit than stock or the other alts.

That said, I'd be surprised to take down a Titan inside its dome without using DD. 

Usually it needs DD, and certainly an OD if inside the dome.

 

Twins is good, but not that good.  Plus I suspect a bit of quiet nerfing and buffing of ODs is going on without anyone at Tanki Towers saying anything, so what we think/say about OD may be outdated within hours.

That depends what turret you're using with Viking's OD.  There are one or two I would think would be toast if you tried.

nah, hornet's overdrive ignores titan's dome, making it really easy to kill

When that noob fire hornet M1 kills you in the dome...

[AncientFire 1,894]

True, but neither that or hunters ability to deactivate it make that dome balanced yet.

 

My m3 6/20 thunder deals 700 to 800 points of damage without Double Damage to unprotected hulls. That dome brings it down 100 to 150 points of damage and any additional protection just brings it down even further to the point of negligible.

 

 

Plus I already know how it can be used for spawn killing.

 

The dome needs a nerf in damage reduction.

Just use a Hunter so you can disable Titans OD completely or use Mammoth so you can wipe the Titan and their friends. We need to have at least one of the two heavy hulls now.

What if the titans have completely mined their camping spot so that there's no way for a hunter to get to them?

nah - seems fine to me.  ;)

 

If the DR is somehow lowered, it would need some compensation like higher healing rate.  It is immobile - so not exacctly flexible.

Wait till you encounter 2 or 3 titans spawn camping your team. There'll be nothing your teammates or you could do about it.
