TL;DR - Let's come up with ideas for killing bosses now that sniper ammo has been nerfed.
Sleeper Simulant and Touch of Malice + Blessing of Light being the obvious.
Ok, I'm pissed too, looks like Black Spindle is probably out for Priest and Golgo, and we may have a harder time with Shade.
We don't know what's going to work in the "new" POE....yet.
So I posted a pissed off rant in a thread that got Ninja'd (lol)... I've drank a bottle of high sodium teriyaki this morning already.
[spoiler][u]Now let's brain-storm solutions...[/u][/spoiler]
[b]Sleeper Simulant [/b]- debate already existed about using it for priest and golgo - and talk is already starting...
-Titan's with Ruin Wings will own this.
-Warlock's get more Heavy Ammo from Alchemist's Raiment, Starfire protocol, and the coming
Purifier Robes.
-Hunter - I'm not aware of anything that specifically grants more heavy for hunters'.
BUT- ALL CLASSES can get armor w/increased fusion rifle, both chest and legs.
*I believe they recently "quietly" nerfed the ability "stack" chest and legs for ammo???? thanks again.
[b]Touch of Malice + Blessings bubbles [/b]- it's been shown to do more DPS than Black Spindle or Sleeper anyway, it's just a pain in the butt, but they hyped it "Keep Calm and Touch of Malice" --
_*[b]Glass House [/b]is coming back for titan's now, Correct? - this should help immensely here....
Someone in another thread dropped a comment about:
[b]No Time To Explain[/b] - interesting, as it's perk keeps refilling the mag on precision hits... constant DPS - it's almost like a baby Touch of Malice when thought about this way - that doesn't kill you... paired with Weapons of Light ...??? will it work? I dunno, but found it an intriguing idea....
???????????????????

Edited by marcran75: 4/11/2016 12:20:20 PMSleeper Simulant does not benefit from bonus fusion rifle ammo perk. I still don't get why everyone is overreacting about special ammo. IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS!!!
-
Still gonna use my stare and super good advise when it runs dry.:)

3 RepliesUse the same guns you always use. Might take five minutes longer. Big deal.

The ammo nerf probably won't matter on Golgo because unless you are in pit and the pool falls onto you you won't get more then 18 shots off. If you have the right armour on now you can get 20-25 shots. I'm interested to see how much the ammo drops. WP you'll just have to hit every shot with tethers and weapons bubble active. ToM on WP may work but you better hope that big bastard flinches or you'll be getting rocked!
-
Simple answer- gunslinger + celestial nighthawk Blessings & ToM Higher light levels anyways. Easy
-
1 ReplyHow about same strat? Raid was pretty easy with a good group.
-
4 RepliesFor Warpriest, get everybody using a 320 Sleeper Simulant also Shadowshot and weapons of light. Sorry Warlocks but your still useless. The difficult thing is aiming sleeper simulant, it has a lot of recoil.
-
2 RepliesWhen Dragons Breath 2.0 came out, tried it on the Warpriest. Seemed to do hella damage as he stands still. Of course this presumes others are staggering him. ...and a teammate doesn't step in front of you as you fire.
-
1 ReplySpindle will still be fine for golg, you never have time to fire all your reserves in the first place.
-
Sleeper with weapons of light and illuminated. Melts bosses.
-
My idea: War priest Player 1 has aura Players 2 and 3 start with sniper rifles Players 4,5,6 start with TOM When players 2 and 3 run out of ammo They call it out and switch to TOM At this point players 4,5 switch to sniper Player 6 still using TOM When players 4,5 run out of special They call it out and switch to TOM At this point player 6 switches to sniper I'm thinking that this should keep War Priest staggered. Obviously teather + weapons + blessing would really help. If no TOM I think NTTE would work
-
3 RepliesHow about just take another round or two. Done.
-
1 ReplyHung jury or any weapon with triple tap combined with weapons of light is pretty effective. Sometimes I have those days when I'm having trouble landing head shots with BS and just switch to the hung jury.
-
I ALWAYS use Sleeper on the War Priest to great effect. But it only works if others are using staggering snipers because Sleeper doesn't stagger. If everybody used Sleeper, we'd drop pretty quickly to War Priest damage. Whatever solution is arrived at, it will have to be one that keeps War Priest staggered.

12 RepliesMost of the problems in raids are incompetent players. NOT ammo.
-
2 RepliesThey said ads will drop more special ammo than ever before. Don't be a drama queen.
-
2 RepliesIs a strategy change necessary? The ammo reduction isn't really going to change anything.
-
They did say more ammo blocks would be dropped so hopefully they're not bullshitting. I want green boxes to fall for every other enemy I kill in PVE
-
Spindle will be fine. On one occasion, you must have a chest piece with sniper rifle ammo. Then spindle will have its normal 18 rounds.
-
1 Replycan we just wait to see how things play out before we start rewriting strategy? ffs

19 Repliesyou're overthinking this way too much. just shoot enemies. holy shit
-
13 RepliesSpindle will be fine. It will just now be a absolute requirement on lfg. Bungle will love it. Lol
-
Okay so the spindle has literally been rendered useless.

Newer loadout NTTE 1000 KYS/Long Bong Barons Ambition/ Ruin Wake

Lucky raspberry is coming to year 2. I use the year 1 version in mayhem clash and I get about 14 shots with SS because it gives more heavy and more fusion ammo
