G17 slings = G17 bows?

Post by razorcrush » 05 Mar 2011, 21:38

Lately LMS has been "adjusting" EA weapons particularly towards the slings. I see random attack speed from the slings : 0.71, 0.74, 0.77. Non custom slings has 0.71 and some 0.74 but when customed it is 0.71? G17 bows have 0.71 attack speed. How does that even make sense? Slings are generally suppose to be faster than bows not equal. I'm positive that non EAs are happy for this change but NOT EAs. My suggestion is that give back slings the previous speed but lower its damage.

My sling is still at .74, which is ridiculous because its faster than some of the donator slings. I mean they payed $50 for it, give them what they paid for. And as far as the G17 EA weapons go, they are screwed up beyond belief. Crossbow does the least amount of damage and shoots the slowest??? Crossbow is supposed to hit the highest and the slowest. Right now i see nobody using this weapon. Make it stronger. Now the slingshot, slingshot USED to be OP. But that is not from the attack speed, its from the base damage it has. Slingshot base damage is almost the same as bow damage, hence everyone going slingshot back when it wasnt nerfed because it shot faster than the g17 bow and did almost the same damage (probably more with the buff it has). I agree with Razor's suggestions. Please lower the attack on the slingshot and restore the attack rate it previously had. The bow can remain the same, but the Crossbow needs to have its attack increased.

Making the sling and bow the same attack speed is stupid. A simple fix to balance both the sling and bow is to lower the damage of the slingshot.

[font=Verdana]The only difference between G17 bow and G17 sling is the dmg difference. but the additional stat of sling gives nearly same dmg as the bow while the bow's additional stat is weaken which sucks ( for me atleast ) .
anyways i agree with this post. Sling's atk speed shud be increased.[/font]

Yes I totally agree this is stupid. The point of the sling is to have a "HIGHER" attack rate than the bow, not equal to the bow which is redundant. Plain and simple go back and "ADJUST" the sling to its previous state with the faster attack rate and a little less. This aggrevates me because I have a sling and its really unbalanced knowing that a bow is the same speed as a sling. So basically the sling is supposed to attack FASTER and do less damage. The bow on the other hand is supposed to attack SLOWER but hit harder... Plain and simple

Yea I agree we should get what we pay for. Or are the bows going to be nerffed down but the sling should be faster then the bow even more when its customs. This has to be fixed.
