Escaping Stormcaller PSA

I thought most of the unrest had died down over storm callers but recently I've noticed some complaining, so listen up. Here are a few tips for escaping/avoiding/surviving stormcaller supers. 1. [b][u]Just Run[/u][/b] A lot of people don't seem to know this, but the stormcaller move speed without ionic blink is slower than normal sprint speed. As long as you are out of activation range, you can start running and easily survive, and is usually they will chase you and end up wasting their super. 2. [b][u]Look for Obstacles[/u][/b] The stormcaller lighting cannot pass through objects so if your in the open, look for stuff to jump behind. Try to make sure there is not a straight/clear view between you and the stormcaller. On certain maps this is easier than others. Once you have something between you, refer to tip 1. 3.[b][u]FUSIONS![/u][/b] As any avid fusion rifle player knows, fusions are perfect for shutting down supers, right next to snipers. 2 body shots with a high impact fusion like saladins vigil and your good to go. Granted you need some distance between you and your target otherwise your dead, but if you catch them off guard, your golden. Bottom line is that although stormcallers have a very powerful super, It is not very mobile or agile. You can also hear them coming from a mile away so if you let one sneak up on you, it's no ones fault but your own. Also, if you're out in the open and close to a stormcaller and get killed, don't complain about it, it is a super ability after all. Any other super could have done the same. I'm not talking about anything other than the super. I'm sure other parts of the class could use a change, but I also think the super is in a good place right now. Stormcallers don't have a lot of bonus armor so shutting them down isn't too difficult, as long as you are just outside their range when they activate, you can easily escape.

[/quote] First off storm caller lighting can chained pretty far so on less your are titan you can't escape from a stormcaller [quote] 2.

[/quote] Second even if you are around a obstacle the lighting can still get you due to fact it can chain from people to people [quote] 3.[b][u]FUSIONS![/u][/b] As any avid fusion rifle player knows, fusions are perfect for shutting down supers, right next to snipers. 2 body shots with a high impact fusion like saladins vigil and your good to go.
