Shaft change

[DMR 693]

Hello,

Shaft is a broken turret now since the huge nerf of reloading time, so what I will suggest will be to decrease damage a little bit because I think that's why they nerfed shaft and bring the original reloading time for shaft which is around 5 sec.

Also, shaft isn't too op and the huge nerf of it was illogical and in patch note they didn't tell us why they did that and I'm sad because now I can't try to do a record of 40 kills and more with it in tdm so my clanmate would be able to congratulate me

Me now since this unfair nerf :

This comes under reversion of updates.

After the nerf to shaft, I've had many matches in which I ended up with 45+ kills, while using it.

If you try to use shaft, the way you used it before the nerf, you will not be able to pull out its maximum potential. You will have to change your playing style to get used to this shaft.

Also, shaft is a sniper. A sniper's main purpose is to get the target in one shot and have a considerably long reload(I do agree that the current reload is a bit too much).

It's more than possible to do well with Shaft after the recent buff, because the buff encourages Shaft players to go out on the front lines and discourages the use of it for camping. Camping with it is still an option but you rightfully will have a lower score. Be more proactive when using Shaft. You may want to try it with a hover hull as well.

Shaft had a very fast reload that emerged for us some players who bragging they're an attacking shafts. It was a farce, with a long distance for arcade shots and fast sniping / reloading. Now the nerf made it a heavy sniper. In real, one-shooting people is very distasteful thing, it shouldn't be that easy. AND number of Shafts still didn't shrink.

This what made my Shaft module the most upgraded one, with a big difference to the 2nd & 3rd modules. I was trying to upgrade it to a level where I can be sure it wont one-shot any of my light hulls (Wasp-Hornet-Hopper)
