Jack was one of my first characters to develop… I never bothered to max his gold card, but the ones i use are maxes (reach, healing speed, etc).
I play evenings EST, which for you is middle of the night, unfortunately… But today mught be an exception, do you want to play today? I could start at, say, 3.30pm which is eirher 8pm or 9pm for you (donno if it is 5 or 6h diff with dst)…
I get that.
Jack also has other things to do though. Like pick up others or be smelting.
Will it be viewed as OP?
Probably. If it bothers enough people they can’t sleep at night, I’m sure TC will come along and nerf Clayton in ways we cannot imagine.
When Clayton first came out, people complained he was useless and that the grub killer had been ruined.
I’d not call him broken if I were you, especially with another external element such as different character is involved in.
I’d test the level 10 health perk with jack for non tank characters and make an observation, that’s may be better.
I also have noticed some good tips for similar characters, but I’d rather keep it to my self than expose it to the public, TC might gets pumped and nerf them.
Its no more interesting to play as a strategy than JD spamming GLs or Marcus doung 45 wave yltimate, but i would be curious to try it, once…
I was wro g, @Ektope i cant do this afternokn, but i am game to preachedule something with us and @Hu1k_Daddy, during the week, say mid afternoon est (so 2 to 4pm my time, etc). We can use PMs…
Shoot, I love playing as Jack!
I don’t see this as an issue unless I’m missing something (likely) I used to do this all the time with kait on forge or exhibit, even reclaimed and have her hold a lane on her own. She never died either. Occasionally she will drop for a quarter of a second and get right back up. It doesn’t stop her or kill her it’s a momentary pause.
Clay just won’t go to his knees for a split second. Not really a game changer or exploit.
People won’t be happy until we’re basically playing Gears Of War 2 Horde.
At this point, I just would ask TC not to listen. Follow their own path. If people dont like it then so be it. They’ve proven in the past operations that they are willing to do what the community wants.
Obviously I dont mean for every aspect of the game, but this community can send so many mixed messages that sometimes I dont think even the people sending those messages know what they want.
I remember when matches never started without a Jack, now a solid 75% of my matches post Op4 have started without one. Makes matches go by so much faster.
It occurred to me that Kait may be able to achieve similar results.
Her Enhanced Stim card at Level 6 says 60% damage resistance, same amount as Clayton’s Bait Armour.
So as long as she has Reaper to get Stim or Marcus, COG Gear or Paduk gave her Stim, then she could also be completely immune to damage along with Jack’s healing beam.
Have to test this later.
that’s what everyone gets in Keegan’s ultimate circle, while the ultimate is running too with that card equipped. and what Marcus gets in cover with dug in…
The best place I can imagine this being used is on All fathers, where the team is setup behind the rear most barrier in the spawn, and jack is on the other side of the wall, using the beam THROUGH the wall… foolproof. Boring as crap for jack, haha, but effective…
Question is, can Jack stay alive out on the battlefield?
No but he can heal through walls
This. Pity’s sake, I actually thought this was a way to make a solo Clayton unkillable, but instead it’s just standard Horde teamwork.
Disappointed/10.
Why are you complaining? Stop giving them things to nerf and patch already. Seriously, just stop. Do you like to ruin the game for everyone?
Where is this a complaint?
This sounds no different than Marcus being in cover with Keegan’s healing module: smart synergy.
Maybe complaining is the wrong word there. I would even go as far as hinting to TC to nerf it
If you know what you are doing then yes. If you leave yourself fully exposed to targets then you are pretty much screwed.
I also know a trick with Clayton, but I’m not sharing cause I don’t want it patched.
