The only wep that can compete is a flare gun

Tech 1, 0 damage, 150 range, 25 elec [bascily nohthing] PULSE Weapon. Damage parasite

vs

Spotty beam. Tech 10 95 damage, 500 range with an effect of +1200 visiblity.

A completely broken weapon, widely
known.

Seer should be one of the few or only
classes that can be able to defeat
snipers. Besides the fact that a HGG
gun can 1 hit any seer. This weapon
needs to be removed. Stealth is the
ONLY thing that keeps a seer alive and
this weapon only takes 1 shot to
completely LOSE a
battle. Just because some noob decided
to switch weapons and spotty.

Under no means is this weapon used for
PvAI unless the user is an unskilled
underfunded noob with a hulite radar.

Summary: Completely remove Spotty
beam. Not stop its sale. Remove.

P.S Ive been killed many times with
just a spotty beam alone, just beacuse
I cant out run, out range and out heal
this weapon. Remove.

Orr even better a larger variety of weps that add vis just because you die too much doesnt mean there is anything wrong with current weps, spotty has next to no tracking at all for a reason

1) Be a fail seer.
2) Attack from the side. (lol)
3) Sniper turns, spots and HGG.
4) Die.
5) Rage on forum like a DoW.

1: Attack Prawn
2: Almost kill prawn
3: Get spotty'd
4: Just happened to be over ai base and docked.
5: Did the final blow to prawn and won.

Dont tell me how to fight. Also, I was shitfaced.... Im accredited

Tracking is fine, thats a noob statement.
Just beacuse it dosent compare to PSS
dosent mean shit,

Spotty on slave - no more Seer.

Yes, I agree, remove them, they're as bad as physical lasers.

So far, just about the only pvping seer that cannot fight snipers with spotties is basta.

I have faced snipers with spotty beam. Never had any, I repeat, any, trouble with them. In fact, I just laugh in their faces.

The difference?

I have NT50, a PWI, a few OBA's, and one or two Adv Blocks. All items on hotkeys.

Don't be a child. Most worthless post.

When I face snipers, I poke and the split second that follows, hit my adv block, an OBA, and my PWI.

I escape. I'm still alive. Sniper is at half shields.

Basta, on the other hand, stands and fights. He does not OBA away with the fragile seer. He does not attempt to jump. He uses no adv blocks.

I learned how to fight by fighting the best and learning from the best. While my gear is a bit shoddy, I constantly update my tactics. And thats what sets me apart from whiny seers like Basta.

I know what tactics are fail, and which are win. I stop training on tactics that are fail and outdated. Basta, on the other hand...

I use spotty for killing low vis ai like bell from hell (which I myself can see easily but for some reason my missiles all go crazy and fly off)

Spotty beam genius.

Also that's nebas tactic, you fail for not reading his guide and dying first. Btw while you're waiting your 10s worth of spotty beam vis if he has one SSS you're back to dead even.

More to the point... Wtf, you can't one shot snipers?

More more to the point, ur a flametard with a fail seer on a spotty beam topic. This is hardly about seer exclusively.

I don't one shot snipers because I use a DS to make my kills. I value the ability to fight off or avoid pesky panther seers when hunting snipers.

Protip: The beam, even with a sniper, doesn't have much tracking. If I sit behind the sniper for 2 seconds, I disappear and therefore can pwi without the beam.


The only thing I will say, is the duration lasts too long. Heh, I didn't make the kill that time. The other seer that was with me did. To me, the sniper should need to apply constant fire to keep the vis up, and that each second he has it up, the vis bonus should diminish to almost nothing.

PS: Sniper Lions with 130k+ shields I cannot one shot. I don't think anyone can one shot them.

Spotty beam is usefull in PvAI for example in hermes.

Helga sniper slaves with spotty is pretty broken. Slaves can be much much more broken than that easily.

Imo move spotty beam to gunner or nerf.
Range too high
Vis too long
Also way too available. a big issue in my mind. Really need i? nerf it to 50 range vis 1 sec and remake new item with same stats as current-prenerf-beam mission locked.
