Ah, I thought that strange too, how you could get hit and BAM WE CAN SEE HIM KILLKILLKILLKILL!!!!! while strikers don't even lose any shield energy when getting hit as they dash. (Or atleast that's what I think it is.)

It's annoying. >.<

Dable post, shame.

Extremely happy about the incoming buff.

Being as recon is my favorite class, I was weary about playing LD because of the ohko on the recon shield. And I've really wanted the plague needle and stagger storm for a while now. But now this seems like a buff that might make the ride a little less bumpy.

Can't wait to play when it's released.

Yes, this is good.
..but honestly, guardian is just as UP as recon is (was).

Test server is open to those who have paid at least $4.95 within the last 3 months. So basically if you buy an elevator pass every month you should be good to go.

When I tested there were around 10 people hanging around in t3 random LD.

I don't claim to be a pro, and I am definitely not OP in LD so don't think I'm talking out of ego here.

My concern with giving the Recon multiple hits is that you will get OP Recons. I have a stock Vog set, a stock GF, no trinkets, no slot upgrades, and no UV's yet with Recon I can produce minimum dmg 5k to 7k every time, produce 7k to 10k most the time, and sometimes working into the 10k to 13k range.

I have gone against substantially better equipped skilled strikers in a 1v1 setting and with a little luck and strategy, I've come out ahead. Now don't get me wrong sometimes I fail over and over because I'll happen to get popped by a random swing, but I usually always deal some dmg before this happens; however, like people have mentioned once you are visible, a strong striker is going to work you over fairly quickly.

Being a Recon is about adjusting your movement pattern to the situation/player you are currently engaging. Usually my dmg rate increases in the last bit of the match because I've had multiple encounters with players and can adjust my movements to the way they have dealt with me as a Recon earlier in the match.

Allowing Recons multiple hits allows them to adjust their play style between hits rather than between encounters. If I get hit and stay hidden I can pull back adjust and re-engage, or not, depending on the situation without having to pay the price of the rev timer.

Bottom line, Recons learn quicker and log more time alive in the match. Not sure if this will result in OP Recons, but figured I'd throw it out and see what some more experienced players thought.

^ Have you ever played as a Recon? As soon as your cloak dies you get slaughtered. Whether or not this is an OP buff will depend on the player. I can see some good Recons wrecking havoc with this update.

Buff strykar plizz I wnt 2 take mltiple hitz wit ma shieeld totly not OP
Buf gardian pliss i wnt invincable sheild dat heelz 999hp pr scnd

Recon isnt underpowered. Everybody just tries to "tank" as a recon. use trinkets to your advantage. be an ASSASSIN, not a tank. tank is for guardians. Ive been playing recon alot lately and I feel it's op with the "invincible charging" and "instant dissapear". hardly anybody has killed me the past few games I played as recon. fix those two before buffing it.

OHHMYGODDDD-

The slaughter approaches!
