I'm surprised that it has taken this long, and am gutted because I rely pretty heavily on them. If they remove Sharp and Speedshooter skills, I'm going to need 1000Au a pop compensation for them. Man, switching out is going to be expensive. If they do remove those skills and you have them on your pilot, I bet that the replacement skill will be those that make you use more of the green stuff.  |

Guess im switching to vipers I won a CandyCane and have plenty of comps, just a few months of upgrade time...  . I started working on my vipers like 3 -4 weeks ago. Knew this nerf was coming. Well that and I needed a counter to all the leeches. Just got my 2nd one to lvl 11mk1. The other is mk2 lvl3. Love me some vipers |

If they nerf chainguns, well, there goes my hangar... Have 3 out of 4 leadhose setups. Talking mostly about puns and pun t's, the poor man's weapons of choice.
I also suspected this will happen when I noticed that if you work them hard, you can compete against meta, and titans, my god what they do to titans...
In pixo's eyes, punishers are entry level guns, guess they will make sure to make them exactly that again.
I don't want to sound like a smartass here, but to me, good leadhose build gameplay was always a sign of a skillful player, always nice to see on the battlefield, anyways, game will be much much poorer if they do the nerf.

Without strong avengers, titans and tank bots will run amuck. Even with totally maxed avengers, they are just barely adequate to handle even mid level titans and mk2 falcon are a nightmare. It is the sustained and formidable damage per clip that makes strong avengers so necessary in the current meta. How long will it take to bring a level 50 Arthur down with corona or viper?.....forget it.

Luckily I have a pair of embers, glaciers and redeemers all maxed or about to, since the avenger nerf has been a long time coming. Shame though because the extra range is really handy vs Titans, especially plasma Minges.

Perhaps the much anticipated Avenger nerf, ushering in the real beginning of the Titan era? Seems likely. I have an Avenger Falcon with all the skills. It smashes Titans, but can be smashed in return if you aren't careful. That's not the case for Juns, and I think that's why they have to nerf the Avenger, becuase they would never nerf the precious Jun. It'll be the same with Storms and Leech. What are you talking about?!?!
The phase shift change and new Ao Jun pilot are both a direct nerf to the bot....

Man, switching out is going to be expensive. yeah. for me, i think thats when i quit. Hey, it’s not like they buffed the Ao jun and then totally nerfed spider plots to the point of unusable trash... Oh wait, they did! |

I still think the Sharp/Speed skills are absent from TS to push testing of Tempest builds. A reasonable nerf to Avengers is long overdue and it wonât stop me from using my 3. But if they delete those skills, Iâm gonna make the trolliest 「fluffernutter」ing hanger I can. Loki, Spydra, FluxGekk Strider, and IDK what else, but everyone will hate me. Maybe Iâll change my name to NerfThisYaA-Holes

That's one thing that players have to just accept with pix. They CAN AND WILL nerf things out of existence. They have done it many times and will do it again at a mere whim. Look what they did to orkans....
It's not right to nerf things so hard that probably needed a buff in the first place. Spider bots need a hard buff, not anything resembling a nerf. I think the energy shotguns will be next to get nerf hammered hard.
This is a money making scheme disguised as a game. They care nothing for game quality or integrity.

The real question is what the hell are we gonna use to break sheilds and bring down titans and tanks? Storms are powerful but only at less than 100m. Avenger needs no nerf.

I've seen an Au Ming back away from an Avenger/Shredder totting Rayker, while i was waiting for mine to reload. Brave little bugger, just kept moving forward, kept the Daka-daka going, while suppressing all the way. |

Thats the point, to push titan sale, eg Arthur. Pix dont want player to be competitive without sinking in at least a hundred bucks to get component weapons. Damn the Russian are greedy. |

Sorry guys, it's my fault. I just got my 1st Avenger to Mk2-12, and 2nd one will reach there in a week or two. Yes, I did this with the full knowledge of what will happen if I do it, but I just... had to. I didn't mean any harm!

Man, switching out is going to be expensive. I’d actually be surprised if they remove those skills. I think they are just pushing players to try out Tempest & Molots. I only have the 3 on my Falcon, but if they hard nerf em...  I always liked the TEMPEST...there were always better options available though... It does hit like a long range ORKAN, but without the splash... It isn't "bad" at short range, but I wouldn't choose it for that. It surprises reds at short range when their life bar drops visibly with each hit...very weird niche it fits.... |

If the reduce clip size as long as they also decrease reload time then it's fine with me.

I imagine that you will only be using the pilot to hunt Juns exclusively? And not to smash irritating Lokis and the occasional Mercury? Nope, thought not. The pilot is only a nerf if you have a Jun of your own, whether it's actually a nerf or not is debatable at best (more prey, more risk), I guess that we will find out when there are a few on the field. And, er, PS? That's literally the definition of an indirect nerf. It makes it much easier for Juns to clobber anything without magical powers when they have less time to get away. I'm a huge fan of the nerf when I'm in my - also unbalanced - Phantom for the same reason. You like the Jun, we get it, that doesn't make it not unbalanced. |

Avengers have had no Pilot Skills on the Test Server since I began playing (around the time of the Yan-Di Showdown).

I hope they don’t touch the Punishers. I get the Avengers, kinda saw it coming a mile away. But there tends to be collateral when they do this sort of thing. lol, ye. Honestly, it was the prevalence of them on AJs and how quick they can take titans down. I blame Ao Jun for everything these days, but weirdly they still buff Ao Jun itself... im still so confused... |

Not only are they going to take your skills but they're going to also a charge you an additional 1,000 AU just find audacity to have it in your skill slot. |
