It should not take 3 shots with a scout to destroy them in hardmode. Why does it take more ammo to kill the stupid orb than it does to kill the enemy that spawned it in the first place? Poor design choice. It should be one bullet destruction. None of this shoot the orb, it changes direction, shoot the orb again, it changes direction again, shoot the orb and it pops.

Well , it takes zero if you're in cover
-
"Well", not when you're in middle.
-
Do you run a sword by any chance? You know there's a guard ability? [spoiler]you're welcome ;)[/spoiler]
-
Yes, but then that is wasted dps on the boss. Plus, guarding is for scrubs.
-
Wasted dps? Are you serious? Do a quick YouTube search for aksis vs dark drinker [spoiler]wasted dps, that's a good one xD [/spoiler]
-
I mean wasting dark drinker ammo on captains reduces dps because you have less ammo, and thus less damage overall. I know about dark drinker. I use it ;)
-
The new raid gauntlets mean heavy ammo isn't a concern though
-
I know. I just got them last night. They help immensely but still. There is no arguing that the orbs should be 1 shot destruction. Why would they need to be anything other than that?
-
Totally agree with you man no doubt should be 1 shot but try the guard out it works a treat
-
There's cover on both sides in the middle....you'll struggle in hard mode if this is your problem
-
What are you talking about? Middle has to deal with the most crap. Especially when captains spawn. There is no cover down there. (I'm talking about Aksis)
-
Tbh cover shouldn't come into play when killing captains, smart teams kill the adds before the captains
-
Yeah, but you want to kill the captains as quickly as possible so you have enough time and so they don't spam their cannons everywhere. Added with the fact that those tracking orbs can be around for about another 5 seconds after the last Dreg is killed. That's precious seconds wasted waiting for a stupid orb to either hit you or you destroy it. Plus, if you are running sword and you get hit by the orb, you then have to wait for your health to regen (because they do so much damage for a stupid 2/1 shot dreg) so you don't get demolished by the captians.
-
You must be low light I got hit by 4 of those tracking orbs and was at a 1/4 hp. You're squishy
-
Yeah and when you kill multiple dreg's with headshots (like I and mist people do) you have multiple orbs coming at you. So, you can have half your health gone from just 2 orbs. Added with Aksis raining his mites everywhere and Shanks with continued fire. There is just too much to concentrate on with enemies, time, the boss and everything else. The last thing we need is stupid 3 shot orbs that track us and do 1/4 damage.
