I dunno I see this as the other way around. For PVE work things will stay about the same as far as steady DPS (though dedicated tric bombers are screwed). For PVP work, the spike potential goes way down. This looks like a PVP-specific nerf.

That whole big thread full of ideas and this was the best they could come up with. Honestly...

Thank you
Perfect Explanation

if they halfed tric torp damage, HY plasmas will do more damage then HY trics, and cool down twice as fast. wtf were they thinking, the tric torp change is mind boggling. the mine change was 1 thing, but this gives tric torps no reason to exist.

like with that arena melee weapon change so they couldn't be sold for ec, this was proboly done because when mini blows himself up wile tric bombing, it generates so much data that they had to do something to stem the tide. so they safety nerfed tric torps!

with just HY plasma torps now, heavy torp bombing lost about 1/4 of its spike. it was not easy to use such weapons, and now they arent even going to out damage a quantum salvo

I have faith mini can spike it hard enough to kamakazi, iirc he was getting 6 figure crits. Also, it could mean many more stun interrupts for support builds, 6 in 60 seconds not counting the PSWTorp console (2 from 30 psw, and 15 sec Trics) even more if you count tric spreads.

Mini will still own you all.

Watch out for his new combo.

The only legit Tric bombers used Tric torps.

I think folks are overlooking this. It's a buff to Bill Nye's Bag o' Durty Trix!

I don't use them much at all anymore, but anyword if this effects bio-neurals?

If TCD torpedo damage is getting cut in half, that would place it around 4500 kinetic damage -- the latter is easily outclassed by the Temporal Disruption Torpedo at 6000 kinetic damage and 20 seconds cooldown time.

Oh, for...

I swear they single out the things I like for every swing of the nerf bat.
