How do you guys think the test server changes to the raijin bastion mode (50% damage hike) would affect tactics on the new Beacon Rush play mode? Community discussion can take place here.
Personally, I think the raijin will be OP, especially on beacon rush.

I think one of the reasons they are looking at buffing the damage output is to do with the new decend bot. I realise the TS is a funny version of reality, but even with the damage buff the decends are eating raijin's alive at close quarters. It's been said elsewhere but I think the big impact is longer range, pop an OP raijin out at range and it would be untouchable. I keep on getting dropped on the new map (real small map) so no chance to try it properly

If the buff goes live, I think the Raijin will be a good or even better alternative to the Zeus Fury. It has tons of HP which will drive Russian Griffins nuts when trying to kill it and also will pose a serious thread to Ancile Lancelots.

I'd go thunder Ancile and park myself on a beacon. "almost" Thunder Carn firepower with Leo HP and Ancilot shielded goodness, rock meet hard place...

Groooaaannn - We've been here before and it didn't turn out well.
This 50% damage increase while in Bastion gives the Raijin the same firepower the Fury - and you know that skilled pilots will only fire while in Bastion mode, so it's basically a full time damage boost.
So what we have in the buffed Raijin is just a better Fury - one that erases all the reasons most top pilots shelved their Furies months ago when the rocket buff tipped the scales against the Fury. Thought Tridents were dead? Well they will be back with a vengeance on standard game mode (they won't be used in BR mode) and thus time there won't be a reply to them ---- unless you want to spend money on Tempests (I don't want to even think about what can really take out a bastioned Tempest Raijin in normal game mode).
Overall, this will recreate on normal game mode the mid-range problem we had with the Trident Fury, but far worse.
