While i was reading the nerfes for sentries i noticed that it was mainly because of the ishtar, yet i dont think CCP noticed that the geddon, rattlesnake, domi, stratios, nestor, VNI, hyperion can use sentries, and ships like the rattlesnake which has a 275% bonus to sentry damage, so this means that since sentries are being nerfed again, so will the damage output in using a rattlesnake....


Why nerf sentries? just remove the sentry damage bonus for the ishtar.
New ishtar nerf going to be great, shield tanking will be hard, no more battleship prop mod, and i can finaly hit one :D

But nerfing sentries and DDA's is a little to much for people like me who use a rattlesnake

The DDA nerf is a nerf to drones in general, not Ishtar specifically.

Droneboats are the top damaging ships in every class, DDA nerf is needed. Sentries should be removed from everything smaller than a BC and also removed from carriers.

The popularity of the Ishtar is largely due to the strength of sentry drones.

Therefore as part of the problem Sentries should receive part of the solution.

The Ishtar is also getting hit directly, removing some of its utility. But the likelyhood is that the Ishtar as a hull could be nerfed off many fields entirely and the Sentry-based nano-Ishtars would still be in use.

Yeah, that's the point. All the drone boats need to be nerfed except poor Amarr. It's the Amarr boats that get hit hardest.

No, no. We just need to nerf threads that bring up a topic that has been beat to death in the proper F&I feedback thread.
