    Just a few hours left for Striker....

    Only a few hours left for the Striker set as we know it. It was nice knowing you pal, you won’t be the same after tomorrow. We will look back and remember the good old days. Nerffsive doing their thing. Here comes the nerfhammer. Which set is next?

    If I actually thought that this was going to be the "end" of that ridiculous gearset, I would gladly go in game to the dz, crank up proximity chat volume, and put on a looped repeat of "Na,na, na,na...na, na,na,na...Hey, hey...Goodbye.

    It's not the end by a longshot. Anyone who believes that needs to get in touch with me, because I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for sale. The change to the self-heal was literally -0.01%!!....Oooooh, way to knock it down a peg. You can still use shownoober to stack an 8 stack every shot....oooooh, so the chumps will have to hold down the fire button like 2 seconds longer to be at a full 100%.....wow, way to not just do the right thing and stop allowing noobs to use shotguns with striker for stacks period. So who wants to start placing bets that the new cookie-cutter skills to run with in the dz is going to mainly be immunizer and disrupt sticky?...Anyone? Gee, thanks Massive developer. As if the dz hasn't already been stale and stupid enough with everyone running immunizer and booster shot, or immunizer and shock turret.

    So yah, striker isn't going anywhere. We just might start seeing a few more players grow a pair and try out other builds that don't just auto give them the advantage, that's all.

    Convince them Un-nerf SBs, I will gladly stray form the main metas. Right now unless I run a heavy damage build, which I prefer Pred over Striker. I would gladly free roam DZ more often. The PvP couldn't handle it. So I will keep using what works best for me and that is Pred or Striker. My Nomad is just missing something that doesn't make it fun for me.

    The cronus showstopper will be even stronger after the nerf, yes it will take a few more shots to get 100 stacks but missing shots will lose less stacks now also they will only need 3 striker with ninja bike, this means they can add 2 banshee and now they can have a total of 110% extra damage plus they lose less stacks with missing shots. Sad to say this buy its good times once again for the cronus. 2 years cronus has ruined the game on consoles, the only true fix is remove aim assist from shotguns completly or make it so they dont work with striker, but hey im just a player with 4300 hours and 90% of that in pvp so what the hell do i know?

    Its not enough. With high stability they dont even need a decent healbox. Just look at the laser aim of some youtubers. And the docile way most players line up for them. So stacks is king. Nothing any other gearset has matches the strikers tools/abilities. For me watching some of the SotG which mentioned the incom changes...... you could see this socalled "nerf" was the least they could and it was the only thing they would do for their beloved striker.

    And dont forget that "nerf" is for all players. So the limitless one bar health boost is gone for all players. It just means that good player strikers will learn to cut los alot more and firefights will take a little longer, unless they have the jump on you. Nothing much will change.

    The design decision is just another joke in along line of them. If they werent so bad Id suggest a trip to the annual Fringe festival. At least theyd get some laughs. ^^
