Micro-Conductor Add-On a bit too strong ?

[Tenebris]

Basically title, im not considering myself a too good of an engie, but that OC feels giga strong, ammo economy is really good and swarm controll is insane, the platform cost doesn't feel that much either. So i would like to hear your thoughts on this and if you think it should be nerfed maybe ? (im playing mostly haz5+ and modded)

It's only really good in choke points. Accross wide areas it's too micromanagement intensive to keep all the shock zones active.

Comparing to what it used to be, which is Turret Arc. Allowing you to connect turrets with an electrical wall like the shock crystals.

And that's it.


It's improvement since it gives more ways to use it than always relying on Gemini Turrets by allowing you to also electrify platforms in case you either don't wanna deal with double turret or don't have time to set it up in a hurry.

Strong? I don't really think so unless you really commit with the amount of platform you put everywhere. Which in a real situation, you're not exactly doing that half the time outside of Salvage Op or minehead missions, which Engineer is naturally obscenely strong in.


Even if it does need to be nerfed, something tells me that changing the slowdown strength would kill the overclock's power. Might need a different approach.

tbh if you want to use plataforms in combat just use that shard difractor overclock

no? it still sucks, it's just turret arc under a new name. none of turret arc's problems were fixed, it's just that you can still shoot platforms now for some electric circle meme that isn't even as good as something like spinning death BC or VIM shard

never mind the fact you have to take repellent off to use it properly, which is extremely damning

The electric circle is quite useless indeed. You are better off just keepping repellant on and use it to funnel bugs into the arc between the turrets.
