wheresmycow Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Is Proton Sweep better now after the tanker changes from awhile ago or is it still bad? Edited March 16, 2020 by wheresmycow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caulderone Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 It is "bigger", going from 74 degree arc to 111. Better is somewhat subjective. I still wouldn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheresmycow Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Cool. I'm debating if my next tanker should be DA/TW or DA/Rad and was wondering if Proton Sweep was worth picking up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generator Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I use it on my Tanker, where I respecced out on my Brute. It's... okay. If the cone wasn't wider for Tanker I'd give it another pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitum Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It just feels too slow, especially for what it does, kinda like jacobs ladder both are flow killers. I always pass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eknudson Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I like it now. I find it very easy to hit a lot of targets, and it does good damage. Wish the DoT was a little more front-loaded but it hits pretty hard and now in crowds it hits a whole lot of targets. I think you'd need to be fighting a horde of something like rikti monkeys to hit the cap of 10, but hitting 6-7 at a time is pretty common. If I'm fighting a boss, obviously I'm not using it. If I'm farming, I use it a lot. With cases in between on a by-case basis. I think it's a useful tool to have in the arsenal now--on a tank.

Gauntlet_Prime Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Oddly enough I like it on my brute and people seem to dislike on brutes. I never have any issues with it and it is one of my default attacks for me. I imagine it is only better on a tanker where it is significantly wider.

As a friend of mine noted, for a Tanker the Dot taking so long to apply is kind of a plus, that way the enemies are continually aggravated by it.

Myrmidon Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Despite the changes, I don’t find it useful enough to change my Rad/Rad Tanker build for it. Playing CoX is it’s own reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
