Dear Trigger Happy Player I get Auto Teamed With,
Hi. How you doing? Glad to finally have a moment to chat with you. Those Breen missions we keep getting grouped up to do sure are fun aren't they? I know we usually don't say word-one to each other. And normally we don't have to. Because we both can read, we both know the mission objectives and we're both relatively ok at pushing lots of buttons.
But, I needed to take a moment of your time to talk to you. In this here public forum. About one of those buttons you keep pushing.
Jam Sensors.
Stop that please! Just stop that right now!
If it's tied to your hotkey, update your hotkeys and keybinds. Please.
Jam Sensors is not to be used properly as part of your alpha-strike button setup.
You are wasting it when you do that. Awhile back, Snix tinkered with the power. It now breaks sooner if you do damage to the target. Based on how much damage you do.
The mechanic at work here? "How much damage you do!"
When you include it in your "alpha strike" ... you know, the powering up of all your buffs, the debuffs you put on the target and then unleash every frontal weapon you possibly can? Yeah, see ... that makes the jam break. So all you're doing is putting it on cooldown.
Also, it's not a very nice power to use on a team, immediately entering a conflict.
I had something annoying happen to me today when you did that. I was auto-teamed and warped into combat. With Breen. On my commander. You were 26 levels higher than me. So were the Breen. Before I even know what I'm doing or fighting, you jam that Breen's sensors. And unleash your alpha strike. The Breen has a couple of seconds of being jammed because your cruiser isn't an escort. So the Breen shoots at me. -26 levels of me. I die in two hits. Your jam is finally broken and the Breen that can't kill you at all, turns his attention back to you.
Thanks for that chief!
Jam Sensors is not a very good call in PVE. It's a horrible call as part of your Alpha Strike tactics.
Stop getting your teammates killed. Stop wasting an entire science slot on a power with limited usefulness. And stop using it as a placebo to enjoy the comforts of global cooldowns!
Knowing is half the battle. And now you know.
Sincerely,
That low level Bolian your poor tactical judgement got killed today for no good reason other than it was probably funny to watch
