about nerfing conductive thermals overclock

[RealNigga100%Legit]

tbh i want it to stay op, the drak is worthless without it, and it makes you so vulnerable agains't every enemy that scout should kill that it is kinda balanced

[Jakal, Lady kisser]

I'm very sorry to hear you're bad at the drak, but it works fine for killing most things when i use it.

Thermal Overclock? Are you talking about Thermal Liquid Coolant?

Personally I'd say Impact Deflection is probably a good bit better. (Though that's just from what I've seen. I don't have the Drak yet.)

[Dollop of Mayo]

If I'm using the Drak, I use Overtuned Particle Accelerator and it turns into a weird shotgun that's good at murder at close-med range as long as you manage the overheat by firing in bursts

idk i like the drak but when i am using it i feel like it just does what the other primaries do but worse

bounce with splash is the only good drak. everything else is garbo. this is by far the best overall and most efficient scout primary, as it is really the only credible answer to density among the scout's primary options.

who's talking about nerfing conductive thermals? it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks, it doesn't need a nerf at all - quite the opposite

i heard someone say the devs said something about wanting to nerf conductive in a livestream

[Kalir]

Yeah it turns out that if built even slightly efficiently Conductive Thermals can output damage at levels that make gunner primaries look tepid. Like, even without using your grenades or secondaries, Plasma Splash and the one mod that lets your shots burn at high heat levels is already enough to ignite dreadnoughts.

You are talking about Thermal Exhaust Feedback, which is an Overclock and can't be used at the same time as the Conductive Thermals Overclock.

[Torres, The Devourer]

I just thought of something. I don’t k ow if this already works this way, but what if conductive thermal prolonged status effects?
Like keeping enemies frozen for longer or burning enemies burning for longer?
I think that would be fun and interesting. That damage downside is rough though, and for the love of Karl, not every drak OC needs to have a heat based downside!

[babuk.fracal]

Would be odd to nerf it

Its the only drak oc that is worth something on elimination.

I found myself prefering fighting dreads solo with bosco when using it since you buff its electric bullets and cryo missiles.

Sure it also let you deal a lot of damage with pubs, but those are so inconsistant that even there some situations will prevent you from doing what you want.

And its pretty much a downgrade outside of elim.

I did try it on some situations where I thought it could be interesting, like salvage to delete stationnaries in the main room and tanky targets and hvt's throughout the whole thing.

But in the end, outside of bulks most of the enemies would have died just as quickly with anything else.

Shield battery booster is pretty dope after its last rework, you should try it with minimum shield regen delay
Drak has plenty of good playstyles, can't go wrong with aggressive venting and bouncy oc's

[Amble]

If they nerf Conductive Thermals of all things I'm joining the side of people who claim they have absolutely no idea what they're doing with anything in the game.

This OC is straight terrible outside of its one gimmick in bullying Dreads with a Volatile Bullets Gunner. It's especially frustrating because it's a hyper specialized gimmick OC that came alongside another similar gimmick OC for the same class on a weapon that is already struggling.

[Frisky]

why would they nerf conductive thermals?

it's a meme-pick on any mission except elimination, on every other mission type it's too gimmicky to work with for it's reward vs the downsides it provides

it is however the only OC that can make elimination an actually fun mission type so to see it's one use case taken away would honestly be infuriating
