Nerf to boss killing, that requires skill.
Yet now we have straight 25% power against bosses for the whole team from WP and bomb build for engineer.
Trollhammer torpedo and masterwork pistol is still there as well.
All that is melting bosses much more consistently than “double shotted”.
I have enough fingers to count how many times a saw someone “chain shotted” boss to death
(on one hand). But i don’t have enough fingers to count how many times i saw dwarfs killing bosses with Trollhammer with no effort or particular setup.
Interesting thing got nerfed, plain things introduced and remains. General boss killing power remains on the same level, if not higher.
How nerf from 80% ult refund to 60% is a buff to general use of “Double Shotted” is a mystery to me. There is absolutely nothing prevented that general use before and absolutely nothing enables it now.
Have you just not played the class? If you’re host and the first bullet kills the target you only get the 40% cooldown once (since the second bullet hits a corpse which the game doesn’t count as a headshot). So 60% is more cooldown for anything that doesn’t require both bullets to kill (which is everything besides bosses).
That thus improves its useability on anything that isn’t a boss.
Now yes pistol RV and TT should get a nerf too. So the smart thing to do here would be to push for that rather than defend double shotted stun locking bosses to death.
Ok that fair then. CW ate 2 bullets without blessed shots tho.
I am defending double shotted boss killing because it’s fun and requires skill, unlike other stuff.
At least in my pugs, double shotted is not contributing in “Boss trivialization”, because it’s not consistent, it’s not happening enough to be a problem.
I think skill ceiling just got lowered for not good enough reason.
Just tested things a bit, and it seams like there is some shadow buff to damage. i don’t recall killing most bosses in 3 shots on my build.
BH is still can shred bosses but it’s not fancy anymore, and that is a shame for me.
I am still able to stunlock rat ogre to death tho.
