Fabian Strategy Buff
As many of you know, Fabian Strategy is a fairly bad weapon. Planet Destiny did a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRrAlgihHwc]video on it[/url] recently. The TL:DR version is this:
-Front lines activates in shotgun range meaning that you are going to get killed by a shotgun (PvP).
-Not enough ammo (PvP and PvE).
Here is my suggestion. When Front Lines is active, and you are aiming down sights, give titans a small juggernaut shield on top of the RoF boost/damage loss. It doesn't have to be too big, just big enough that it protects me from some damage (maybe around 50hp?). This would work the same way as the regular juggernaut shield, and would have a short cool down (~5s) after being destroyed.
So how does this help in PvP and PvE? In PvP, I now have more incentive to get into a closer range with my enemies, and challenge shotgunners. With the shield, I will be able to soften the blow from a shotgun, and actually make use of the Front Lines perk. In PvE, the problem can be solved by just giving the weapon casket mag (Mag+/Stability-) so that the weapon is not overly powerful.
TL:DR Give titans a small juggernaut shield when ADS and front lines is active on fabian strategy.
If you have any suggestions, please post down below!

Edited by OppositeCoin: 8/8/2016 9:47:13 AMand i also want to use it a lot cus i want to stay loyal to it but when i se my mida and all my other exotics i get the feeling that i could even be using a legendary and still be doing better

Edited by OppositeCoin: 8/8/2016 9:47:44 AMi love this weapon its that bad i have gotten some nice killstreaks with it but compare to what other exotic weapons can do like tlaloc and spades and almost every other primary exotic it cant even get to their level and it gets me mad because i feel that titans always get f*ck over with a lot of things in destiny

Front Line perk is a joke. Make it proc further . These are ranged GUNS , not middle Earth with spears and shields, how front lines do you want me to be? Such a bad weapon. Especially for a class specific exotic at that.
-
I really like the shield idea (referencing to the small shield on the front of the gun itself) but I think the front lines perk should activate at a longer range (like when the semi-close trapezoid shale fills in [immediately]).

Fabian Strategy should do Void damage! Please Bungie!

4 RepliesI agree that the unique ballistic plates should be incorporated into the exotic perk, but my suggestion is quite different. It should grant bonus protection to the wielder when ADS, but in a different form: rather than a Juggernaut style physical shield, the plates themselves should offer the protection that bonus armor would. Change the exotic perk to grant the wielder unflinching and directional damage resistance while ADS. Basically grant the Guerilla Fighter perk any time the weapon is sighted. Guerrilla Fighter rewards fighting from behind cover after all, and the Fabian Strategy has permanent cover bolted to the front of it.

1 ReplyWhat if they made so that when front lines perk activated it gave a major stability increase and refilled your magazine?
-
The gun gets weaker at close range remove that bungie and make the damage the same
-
What if they add an new perk (let's say called heavy loaded) This perk would make it (mag+ / range or reload-) Sound better [quote]heavy loaded [Magazine+/Range-][/quote]
-
What no FS is wayyyyy to op :3
-
I agree with your argument but even then part of the problem is how auto rifles are treated in PVP but other than that I definitely think that Bungie should make some slight changes to how the weapon and its perks behave in PVP as well as PVE
-
Never used mine. Got it, looked at its perks, said, "lol f-that.," put it in my small vault
-
It just needs to FEEL like an exotic and where it is now...it does not feel like that. It feels like sh*t!
-
YES! Gotta say I've a soft spot for it and fused it to 335... It's still sh*t but I like it :-) Gets me killed constantly in pvp which I already suck at but still have fun with it. Did my first Ttk raid with it :-) BUFF the hell out of it please.
-
I'd give it a larger (MUCH larger) magazine to start with, and then make Front Lines activate from further away with a less significant damage reduction.
-
When bullet hoses were meta I shrekt with it but I haven't used it since
-
It needs a buff to stability!
-
Hell yeah. ——Hard-Light-4-Life——————

Haven't had the joy of testing the weapon yet but from what I've heard it could use a huge buff.

2 RepliesI'd be more drastic. - Change the fire rate and damage archetypes, so it's a low ROF rifle normally but has mid ROF when the front lines perk procs, but retains low ROF impact - Major buff to radius of front lines - Melees have instant recharge when FL is active.
