hyperkayak Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I was up vs grineer (like 5 mins ago), with the units of choice for the level being scorchers and napalms. Maxed Ironskin + maxed Focus pretty much soaks up tons of damage and it did good on the regular grineer, but napalm shots take it down in 1-2 hits. Sooo is Iron skin an infested type deal? Does fire do triple damage to it? Didn't confirm with scorchers. This was a mission of lv ~17-20. Please let this be a bug and easy to fix :DEDIT: even if this is the case, 1-2 hits by a level 18 napalm should'nt do that much damage.

Casardis Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Napalm are just generally very powerful, not to mention they: - Shoot ridiculously fast for their strength - Each blast has Damage Over Time So if you stay here thinking you can take it all up like a boss, you may want to rethink your strategy against Napalms, that's all. Additionally, I heard of a glitch where their blast radius is stupidly huge and powerful (most likely a bug). I haven't fought many Napalms recently to confirm, but I'm pretty sure it is. This makes lvl 20~ Napalms feel way more powerful than they should be I think. Edited September 17, 2013 by Casardis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaSylvy Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Iron Skin is great as it is, but Napalms generally are totally bonkers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigloblam Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 They hit more like Acrid than Ignis. Tiny damage, but stacks so much it becomes stupid. But honestly, it may have just been a glitch. Usually my Iron Skin only falls that quick to lvl 50s or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsoe Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Dont stand in the fire (screams the Raid leader) if yu are scared of napalm users you should use Fire repeal mode in ombination with iron skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rum Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yes i agree, low lvl napalms take down a maxed out iron skin a bit too fast, but you adapt and take them down first when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sni7ch Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 A max ironskin (1200) + max focus (30%) is only 1560. A napalm can usually take out my shields on my Vauban (around 500 shields) + a little chuck of my health. Napalms hit like a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braken Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Dont stand in the fire (screams the Raid leader) -50 DKP! Anyway, Napalms are stupidly OP. However, Commanders win out on frustration levels. I HATE those things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigloblam Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 -50 DKP! Anyway, Napalms are stupidly OP. However, Commanders win out on frustration levels. I HATE those things... Yeah....pretty easy to kill, but annoying as all hell if there is more than one. You can hardly find your bearings after a teleport, when -BAMF- you're off again!

Jiala Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah....pretty easy to kill, but annoying as all hell if there is more than one. You can hardly find your bearings after a teleport, when -BAMF- you're off again! ah god yes, and sometimes right into the middle of a pair of heavy gunners who promptly say hi with a hail of bullets into your rump while the scorcher there gives you a flame bath to compliment it all. That happened while I was trying to level banshee... Back on topic, yeah the napalms seem to be stupidly overpowered. Though supposedly, and I know this is very energy ineffecient to do, but if you roar prior to popping iron skin, that should give you a +50% power boost right? However if anything, when I do that my iron skin when I'm running rhino seems to last even shorter under the same kinds of hail of bullets.
