Setting:
Who: Me, Kathrine-Dragon, a vanguard's alt, pure bomber with proto and cold snap, proto helm and vitasuit; Imagine-Unicorns, random dude, hot edge and frost gun, new guy to SK
What: Versus first battlepod
Where: Toy Soldiers, the mission
When: Just now

I, being a veteran bomber with knowledge of attack patterns of battlepods, etc., could not defeat a battlepod in under 10 minutes pure bombing with the help of a newbie swordy/gunner. IU (Imagine-Unicorns) used the em rev and an allspark while I used two health pills. The main problem was that the battlepod was vulnerable for too short a time. When the mecha knight (and that was really annoying) was chasing me, I could plant one bomb within the vulnerable time. Mind you, I'm playing the ignorant knight and not heating any gear so no CTR but I doubt at this level I have enough to get either bomb to lvl 5. When IU managed to fend off the mecha, I could plant a bomb ahead of time and one during the vulnerable period. Two whole frickin charges for every time it was vulnerable. And 15 damage isn't a whole lot. Yes, IU was helping, but he was running around like crazy a lot since he didn't understand the attack pattern.

For some reason, the second battlepod went faster. Maybe he understood it by then. Maybe because it wasn't invulnerable. Either way, please nerf that first battlepod so bombers have enough time to plant a good amount of bombs. Ten minutes is extremely long for a newbie fight. In perspective: Vana takes less than that time when there's coordination. I, as a veteran, should be able to do this in less than ten minutes.
