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.

What exactly is Ictuses problem in your opinion? It's tank? Sustain? Neuting amount?

Are we back to this again? No standard fit mesmer kain or kain 2 can kill a decent ictus. You need to gimp your fit.

And guess what? How is that any different to a vaga or a zenith? You can harden a heavy or mech to kill any ewar, you just gimp your fit

Re: Post Balancing Patch.

I hope all these arguments that sound very convincing result in many Ictus' being fielded since they're balanced right? lol

A combination of all three I think, too many parameters were changed from pre patch Ictus, it is now a totally different bot from what it used to be.

Re: Post Balancing Patch.

Love the "I think" backed up with solid numbers and a spreadsheet.

Good work Noodlzs, going the lazy route since, too lazy to look it up.
