Finding that scourge is making my brit bots far more survivable. Allows you to engage rdb's from outside of 500 and db/pdb/dashes outside of 350 with an ancilot. Really makes up for lances lack of mobility to be able to hit starting at 550 or so. Speed of gareth allows you to stay engaged w/light and med bots as well as dbs and pdbs at around 400 or so b4 closing for kill. Don't have a galahad so can't speak to that but I imagine it would be really good with punishers or gekkos on a gal for same reasons that it is good on a gareth.
For me at lvl 8 it is even or slightly ahead of taran on ancilot and a very nice pairing with tempest on lance b/c range allows you to stay above 510' while affording superior firepower over a cycle to a molot.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

But are you actually registering any damage? Esp with the gareth from 500M.

But are you actually registering any damage? Esp with the gareth from 500M it does 28% at 600m and 40% at 500m so, comparable to a PunT but you don't have to aim. But you don't stay at that range. It's a sustained damage weapon so against rockets the idea is to get them to exhaust their main volley while you are outside of their range and then close distance while gaining dam as you get closer. And, of course against energy weapons the idea is to close quickly and rely on shield. |

Its a novel feeling but I think you may be selling yourself short with it damage wise compared to alternatives. Single Scourges and shocktrains are awesome for pressuring reds but dont give you the ability to take or keep a beacon youve taken, which is one of gallahad's key strengths.
One reason why snipers dont carry ballistic shields.

I have two from the Halloween event, and both are level 8. On iOS, so don't have the patch/buff yet.
I love it on my Ancilot. I feel more confident with the scrourges than I do Tarans. They let me pressure opponents at range, while still dealing decent damage in CQB range.
I have also put them on a Griffin with a couple gekkos. But havent tried them since they were level 6 on the Griff, and the gekkos are still lvl 7. I liked the scourge/gekko combo on the griff, but surviveability was more an issue than with the Lance. Honestly, I think I wanted the scourge/gekko combo to work, but just didn't feel it was...at least not at lower levels. Once I get the WSP to get a couple more Tarans (to throw on the Lance since my only two other Tarans are on a PDB Griff), I will experiment with the Griff more to see if the feel is different now that the scourges are lvld higher.
For context: I am a newbie player and most of my bots are lvl 6 and weapons lvl 7. Playing in Gold 1

I got two Scourge(10). Not impressed. At 600 they do nothing. At 350 every Taran operator smiles at you and at point blank you're toast even to a Destrier with a set of pew pew Magnums dancing the dance of death around you.
At 600m Zeus on a Carnage is the best choice as you're mobile, you don't have to aim, the shot only takes one second and you deliver really heavy blows to your friends in red. Over 30K damage every five seconds really hurts.

Two Scourges on a Lancelot plus a Zeus.
