Re: Post Balancing Patch.
Ictus IS balanced against heavies and mechs. 20-30 seconds to kill accumulator, 2-4min to regain it. The whole purpose for fielding remote energy support is to have resistance to Ictus. Energy warfare is not supposed to reign supreme over machine guns and remote energy support fleets or it will completely obliterate anything that isn't fielding that.
A mesmer can kill an Ictus with racial weapons before it has lost half it's accumalator, a Kain Mk2 can also kill an Ictus easily as can a Kain Mk1 with some jiggery.
