Buff Heatpoint

[CDR_Xavier]

Heatpoint is nerfed so bad. it need a little buff.

I think damage wise it's okay (and it wouldn't bother if it hit a bit weaker, honestly), but the amount of heat damage is just too low. Waaay too low. Look at what Faceshocker have to offer in terms of energy -- plentiful drain.

It's also because of heatpoint's nerf I now go use Nemo.

 

But realistically, I think that heatpoint's nerf had allowed (or rather, forced) to explore the potential on other heat drones. And some of those are quite decent, too.

You're not supposed to use heatpoint for the heat damage, you use it for the explosive damage. It might need a little buff in explosive damage, but the heat damage is fine. If you want to play a boiler build or something that needs high heat damage, go use nemo.

exactly.

But like faceshocker. it should at least break-even in terms of heat cost and heat dmg, right? Right now it has less head dmg than heat cost, I believe it's a bit too weak.

If you do think they should cost more heat than they cause, then I can potentially extend that argument to every single energy-free heat drone.

Technically, nemo is the specialist in "maxheat dmg".

The drone with the most heat dmg is apparently the loathed "energy dependent heat drone". Or, at least that's what that should be.

___
They even buffed windforge to try to diverge people from using faceshocker. Sadly, I don't have wind yet.

So does the other high damage heat drones. And with arena buffs on they still do more heat damage than cost. And swoop is a different matter, since it's not energy free. Windforge is better than faceshocker in the current meta.
