Electric Prods Need To Be Buffed RIGHT NOW (theyre useless...) (read all before taking this off)

[Ｒｕｂｙ<３]

when i heard about the new electric prods i started grinding really fast from lvl 73 to lvl 80 to get them, i started gathering stuff and got it... then i saw it was single use (i saw it before i used it) and i immdieatly was thinking it was an unconcoius machine and it maybe wud down a lvl 30 rex out (max lvl i thought 1 wud take down) then i saw, it sucked! it didnt down a lvl 73 dilo... i was really upset but i made another one, this time i checked it on my argentavis, and i saw how much torpor it did, 307 torpor, thats not even a mouse on a wheel!!! so now i see that you-ark devs, need to buff it... i was thinking of 3 ways to buff it:
1.make it a reusable/3-10 times usable
2.make it so you can repair it in your inventory without a fabricator
3.make it do more torpor... will be best somewhere in 500-1500 idk maybe more but not less than 500 (if you buff it this way... and if you buff it at all)
this is what i think atleast... (my ark is on my other account... it has the same name and same pic... ill post a comment on this discussion with that account also)

Only use for those dino with low HP like dimetrodon / gali / compy / ovi etc which is basically 1 hit KO .

[bigsengineer]

almost needed for penguin tame however see more pvp uses not just for tames, our mastercraft will ko sum1 in full mastercraft flak

[Takomeda]

only USE is for PvP, cz it generates enough torpor for every player.

nah... u can club these or use a tranq gun... try to look at a galis hp... about 800 or abit less... its enough

[OofstinGames]

I was thinking they could make it so after a single use it would recharge and that would take like 30 seconds.

Will take a long time before you can KO it , and it will runs away .
With the prod , only 1 hit and it down for good .

no actully, you can see that in starsnipes episode, he spawned the galli and reviewd the prod+swat armour, it didnt down it in one.
also gallis are way faster than you.. youll miss a mele attack for sure, while a tranq dart? u dont need to follow it, just snipe it! tame a galli your self and see how much torpor it has, if it has less than 307 torpor, you won. if not, idk just ahhh, colour my argentavis to look like american eagle.
(im from israel btw)
also, try a lvl 20 or higher, because any lower is useless so it wont even matter

Do the effects stack? If I have 9 prods in my toolbar, do I have to wait 4 seconds, before moving on to the next? If not, they might be worth the investment for quick takedowns.

you can make 9 and poot them in your tool bar and do 1 after one, but that wud only do 2763 torpor...
a list of dinos that on lvl 50-120 it wont down: spino (this is a maybe), sarco, trex, raptor (lvl 80+), giganto, trike (maybe on lvls 70-120), argentavis (maybe on lvl 50-60, above that 100% no), carnos, megalodons, mosasaur, angler fish (probably, i never had one so this is a wild guess that is probably true but idk), plesiosaur, bronto, paracerathrium, sabertooth (maybe on lvl 50 they can survive it, but i dont belive it, but lvl 70+ 100% no), direwolf, mammoth, scorpion (i dont know in what lvl he will have 2763 torpor, but in some lvl he does), megaloceros (maybe it will be in enough in lvl 50-60, not above), doedicurus, stego, ankylosaurus, araneo (in the halloween event u cud tame them), onyc (also in the halloween event).
i cant think of any more but there probably are some more
these are the list, while im not sure of lvl 120 dilos, parasaurs, oviraptors and these can take it, so they arent on the list

so, unless they buff it, its mostly useless. (beside survival of the fittest/rare pvp server fights)
(i say "rare" pvp fights cuz mostly when you get attacked its when your not on and if you do get attacked while on your probably gonna use one of ya dinos, or use a gun that wud kill that basturd, not a mele weapon)

[Virtual Realms]

I'm assuming PVP use primarily, and perhaps used in conjunction with other methods to take down creatures that can easily be accidentally killed with using bolts or darts alone, or that run away at extreme speeds. IE. Walk up and zap it with the prod at first, then start using tranq darts afterwards.

Wow. I underestimated how much torpor those beasts had on them. Thanks for saving me from experimenting. I really wish that each new item/dino came with a new list of INI options for people to tweak. That's the best way to make the most people happy (except for the sadomasochists who play on official servers). It would be trivial for them to make pretty much everything configurable.
