I've decided to sell my Polaris. But then I got thinking....

If I sell my Polaris, how will I get random swordys killed in clockworks runs? I'm talking about the occasional bullet that explode and push creeps around in seemingly random directions and catch unsuspecting sword swingers off guard. Is there some other way I can increase the random death factor in my clockworks runs without a Polaris?

If I sell my Polaris, what will I spam in Lockdown matches? When I'm standing on a capture point, waiting for it to cap, I usually shoot my polaris in the direction of my would be opponents. I don't want to just sit there. What can I do instead of spamming my Polaris at well... nothing?

My Polaris is also good for revenge against annoying people in PUG clockworks runs. If I sell my Polaris I can't get revenge and even lag up these poor poor people. Without my Polaris, is there anything else to be done?

Am I missing anything? What other things won't I be able to do if I sell my Polaris?

Simple solution: buy a nitronome to replace it. Rock it old-school.

One of my favorite things to do with the Polaris is shoot it at people trying to use a DA in FSC so that they can't see if they're charged up yet or not. The DA just makes FSC too easy for my taste.

I'm very pleased with the tone of this thread. It was not what I was expecting, from the title. Hats off to you all. :)

Oh...

Ohhh... You are a "happy" bunch. I guess none of you have met an experienced polaris player. Not all players are morons with knock back weps.

1 thing you cant do without Polaris: Have crowd control and get non-dodging enemies in corners so the explosions wont knock em to friendly knights.

Although i know that jerks that cant handle knock back is one of the worst things that can happen to a party.

You can do that with a vortex bomb.

No-Thanks

Zelda

u can use callahan to stun mobs when theyre about to attack random swordies in clockworks

for lockdown swordies u can use those mean six shot clip guns

issue with nitronome is its too obvious and ppl will leave/kick(unless thats OP's intention o.o..)

1 thing u forgot, u wont be able to knock monsters away from teammates who are trying to kill the monsters(u could try a valiance charge, i wouldnt know any other reason for its crappy charge anyway lol)
