Bit off topic, but I find it interesting how the old RSS was blatantly OP yet no one really cared. However, now that Brandishes are OP, people constantly lament them, and some refuse to even touch them. If the Brandishes got a major nerf, many people would be celebrating.
If a Skolver Guardian with dual pentas stood on an old RSS, it'd be a guaranteed kill (Or almost depending on how much of a damage increase you had). The RSS had longer range than an AP, faster projectiles than an AP, significantly more damage than an AP, almost no charge time, and almost no detonation time, while being a 4* bomb.
Not that I'm hating on the old RSS, I'm just heartbroken over people's hatred toward my beloved Brandishes Q.Q
Wouldn't only the first shard do damage? (even if it didn't, could have been done that way) Kind of like a blitz, wich is OP on PvE but useless in PvP.
You can say they were OP, but they didn't fix them, they removed them from the game and game us something different with the same name.
We could nerf brandishes by lowering the damage and chance of status, or we could turn the charge into a single explosion, that's delayed by 5 seconds and damages only 1/3 of the enemies it hits.
OOO overdid it.
Blitzes are not useless in PvP, they're balanced. No good against swords, murder towards bombers. That's exactly how the weapon triangle in Lockdown should work.
Stop whining about the old RSS and use teh Dark Briar Barrage as your closest replacement -.-
Exactly. It's balanced, so GF and Polaris kick its teeth in. This is the reason why Lockdown is terrible.

I specifically remember a bomber friend demonstrating how effective the RSS was in LD (which convinced me to make one myself, and eventually lead me to getting some mist bombs). It's similar to how you can insta-gib two people if you get REALLY lucky with an Alchemer shot (assuming that they're snuggling with each other).
Polaris is trivial to dodge, and Gran Faust even more so for a bomber. Blitz Needle denies a very large area and deals a very large amount of damage if you happen to be charging a weapon at the time.
Much more scared of Blitz than either of those two, to be perfectly honest.
you are late for this too.
