Just bought the Dire Whale a la cart. I have been using this build DWF-B, might add ams. I used to run a tipple gauss ILya. To me the Dire Whale feel over powered, so far. Do you think it needs to be nerfed or is it just me? It may be slow as a beached whale but, i've managed to brawl and fight lights when need be. Peeking out and dropping 5-50-5 on some one with so little heat build up feels wrong.

Its not op. if it gets caught alone by lights it gets ripped up. Plus they are so infamous that teams focus fire.

It is certainly very powerful, but I really don't know what you can do to nerf it without going way overboard and hurting all the other clan mechs or just giving it stupids negative quirks.

It's only OP in low-Elo, where your opponents just try to facetank you.

Amusingly, this is by no means the most dangerous Direwolf build. It's a brutal hit from extreme range, yes, but a 50pt strike up close? That's it?

Lots of builds can deliver 100+pt strikes, faster, and with more endurance.

I couldn't think of a good nerf either, I hope they don't kill it.

Is this another thinly-veiled attempt to have the Clans nerfed ... again?

[LiGhtningFF13]

Don't worry now we all know that the Zeus will come!

Nope. Its meant to be deadly, and I want to kill a couple more before we start calling them OP!

If you want a nerf start of by stating what makes the DWF OP in your opinion to warrant a nerf...

I vote no.

*sigh*, so dissapointed that the monocle was not a face-laser....

The dual ER PPCs aren't much of an issue. If they do something about Dual Gauss then maybe it'll be back in line. Nothing so far earns me more wins than my MetaDirewhale (with the exception of maybe my Kitfox). Just kill the enemy team before they harm your teammates and you win.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with the Zeus.

I was hoping it was a thread about using PPCs on the Zeus. Instead, threat contained whining. Would not buy again.
