The_Beastwood Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone else not use Unload at all? It requires you to stand still and unline DfA and Flamethrower is doesn't do super massive area damage. It however could be useful for finishing runners, but it is still weaker than the Mercs unloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AetherMcLoud Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 PVE I only use it if there's some mechanic (huge AOE, etc.) that momentarily prevents me from meleeing, or as a pulling move when DFA is on cooldown. PVP I use it regularly because it's pretty much heat free (the heat it costs is vented almost fully over it's duration), it's 30 meters range, does okish damage and is perfect for those last few percent of health after you've gone through railshots, incendiary missiles, explosive dart, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmon Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 unload is a filler, nothing more, if u got time to use it then use it, its only for filling in the damage inbetween rail shot procs and dots. and i dont bother with flame thrower.

Rabbitofdoom Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yep its a filler to be used when i cant get close and personal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Beastwood Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) unload is a filler, nothing more, if u got time to use it then use it, its only for filling in the damage inbetween rail shot procs and dots. and i dont bother with flame thrower. I don't understand how you could not use flamethrower? It does massive damage and is perfect after a stun, it also have a very high critical chance due it being fire if you have those skills. And I also try to get close pretty much all the time and using Unload is 3 seconds where you can't get close to them because you are firing at range.

Dharagada Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'll use unload if I have to use a ranged attack and I've already fired off my IM, TD and Railshot combo and I have no chance of catching up to my target. It's not useless but it's situational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolyfic Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 unload should be on everyones bar, not rly for early in the rotation but for when your heat is building. it does respectable dmg and due to its channel and upfront heat cost you finish with less heat than you had when you started with using the ability. its hard to "get it" in terms of DPS, but when you begin factoring in heat efficiency its a no brainer - key point: you'll do more dps using this ability in a fight that lasts long enough to fill up your heat bar, than you would if you didn't. in fights of shorter duration, there's probably something better to use as a filler.
