How can people complain that it's nothing but a server full of pred when THE ENTIRETY OF THE LAST PATCH WAS NOTHING BUT SERVERS FULL OF STRIKER BUT WAS QUIET ABOUT THAT? What is this hypocrisy?
Because a server full of pred is no better than a server full of striker.Originally Posted by Merphee Go to original post
I like the update. I am not very good at pvp but got my man hunt kills this weekend. Up over 550 rogue kills. Might just finish up my pvp commendations, but be hard for me to get my cleared manhunts. Predator is easy. Like others said immunizer and adrenaline cover it up pretty good. The Nomad going off all the time to me is more annoying than anything. I LOVE the shield being back. I like watching as groups go man hunt and the server just keeps shooting the shield instead of ignoring it and focusing on the rest of the team. It was 100% useless before and now it's viable in a team again. I ran banshee for the first time ever the other day and did pretty good. Like the original poster said gone are the here he comes... now, wtf just happened he melted me before I could even med kit. In a day or 2 somebody will have the new meta out if it's not already, but the last two days have been fun...for me at least anyways.
Predators Mark counters
1. Immunizer Support station
2. Reclaimer 6 piece gives a near invulnerable support station that covers a city block
3. Med kit cleanses it
4. Adrenaline Talent w/ med kit (7 sec immunity)
5. Stack bleed resistance https://youtu.be/qlT752PApGg
6. Stack Exotic damage resilience, and or Final measure
7. Frag yourself before fight or walk into frag to procc small bleed (Pred bleed will not apply)
8. Strafing between other players or NPC's to reset counter
It's almost a bad set with this many counters. With Pred if you can't out smart your opponent to stop these from happening you are hosed with only 4k Firearms and limited damage talents. If you're dying to Pred... it's your own fault.
Don't forget about the candy bar consumable 😀Originally Posted by Blkandwhtknight Go to original post
When I only remarked, not complained, that Striker is overpowered before the patch. I always heard 'Why don't you use it yourself? When everybody uses Striker it is even." Could say the same about Pred now. These complaining Striker players are just hipocrits. I appreciate build diversity, but I am not sure if the patch will really achieve this. But at least, Pred is easier to counter than Striker/Showstopper or Striker/House before the patch.
But pred is easy to counter.Originally Posted by Garyfairbrass Go to original post
There were absolutely zero counters to the damage bonus of Striker and absolutely zero counters to the healing. EMP was too weak and to even consider it a counter.
This. Do you realise how much skill it takes to run a pred when everyone has an imbox? 7 second ammune, stacking edr etc. Can anyone even name 8 different striker counters? People need to get a grip and learn how to play a different way.Originally Posted by Blkandwhtknight Go to original post
I love this patch, theres so much diversity now, a lot of cool hybrid builds being used, nomad, reclaimer, tact, banshee, pred, final measure, dead eye. Hell i even saw some lone star players the other day, i havent actually seen one in months until this patch.
Theres a lot of good builds being run that arent striker. Ive seen strikers still being used too. Its made the game so much more interesting and enjoyable, well done devs.
