Its not even in the patch notes...but you guys made em slightly faster and nerfed the dmg to below tickle levels...
Think most wanted the root to be removed from em, don't think anyone asked for an atk speed buff. They were Slow, close range weaps that rooted you but hit hard, and were great vs borg. So positives and negatives.
Now theyre semi fast (every other weap but sniper and pulse is still faster) that tickle and still root, and have no range. Like I've seen 30s and 60s on some enemies, on a fully buffed tact officer. Lucky to get a 1k exploit/flank. Think i've seen 2ks with alt fire. Unlike before where i could see 5-8k crits from a good exploit/Flank atk, fully buffed.
Guess I can just use the Lobi staff or upgraded plasma wide beam rifle like 99.9% of everyone else now.
