How did they do that?

edited January 2014 in Feature Episodes, Events and PvE Content
I was doing KASE last night, when the most remarkable thing I have seen happened. It started out normally we killed the cube in about average time. I then saw no one was doing left probes so I jumped over there to take care of that. I saw one guy in a fed ship of somekind taking the cube next to me and I help him with it till the probes come. After I one passed the probes in my Hegta I turned to see that not only was the cube down but so was the gate. I continued probing and moments later we are down to the gate which blows fast too. I do 4k-5k in my hegta and it would take me at least 2 minutes to kill a gate this guy did it in a few seconds. He had to have done like 30-40k or more to do that how did he do that? The guys ship was using beams as I recall and seemed to do normal damage to shielded targets it was just the gates and such he seemed to instagank.

    Saved cds for the gate...

    Join dps public and work your way up the channels. They will teach you how it's done
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    I have apbx2 in my build and I don't melt gates, probes, bops but not gates. I am talking the transformer went down in like 2-3 seconds. Even on my well equipped fleet mogaii I would still need 30 seconds to do that. You telling me there is a skill that hits for enough damage to near insta gank a transformer or gate in an elite stf?

    3 high dps players, each casting damage resist debuffs on the targets and really focusing on one target at a time makes things go down remarkably quickly.
    There's also knowing where to be (I.e. as close as possible, about 3km for max damage with DHCs), tank using the gate blind spot* while the other players get in nice and tight to the gate for max dps.

    Damage on its own is nice, but it's only when you combine it with stacked debuffs on one target that you make something really special :)




    *Yes, it does exist and yes, there is a wee bit of a trick to it.

    With the ridiculous damage output more and more players are capable of delivering, the mighty borg are a joke. (not to mention the other stfs)

    There was probably a lil escort tucked away you didnt see helping him. I have witnessed what you are describing as I was part of it and I was one of the lil escorts in that play-through in my Fleet T'Varo.
    The other PUG was in a Scimy and we destroyed one side before the other 3 destroyed their first transformer and cube they even let a probe through loosing the optional but meh who cares !

    And it is silly how we were able to do that, gone are the days where you were assigned a role in the group and you had to work (just a little) to get the map done. Its so silly I have not played in a while now. The only challenge is PvP and now I can do that even that is boring !

    Only one thing left to do and that is log in occasionally for the shiny's and keep the account alive and start playing PoTBS while I wait for another game to release in February !

    Likely a bugged gate. It happened to me once before. I took it down in less than 5 seconds. Never happened before or since. Things like that just seem to happen sometimes. I played CE elite today and every shot from the CE bypassed 100% of shields and went straight to hull for no apparent reason..

    Snuggle up to a cube as it breaches. GDF+Alpha+Dem+EPtW+TT+APO/APB = insta melt transformer.

    Occasionally, the Gate-Transformer heal link is broken, and you'll notice that the Gate is taking damage as you fire at it and not regenerating. People will then just decide to kill the gate.
