The stickyness is really annoying and I only found myself doing my favorite laser nex combo a lot of times despite the delay because I am so darn used to it and keep forgetting that stickyness all the time.

That you have muscle memory has nothing to do with the weapon balance, unless you mean it impaired you judgment of it.
Quote:I'd say in the longrun the stickyness will lead to the nex being always the last weapon of a combo, which reduces the combo possibilities quite a lot. And I happen to like the nex as a very effective weapon if you can handle it (which I can't very well, but that's another story).
Removing the last 90 hitpoints of an enemies health as long as he is in the open is a very strong combo.
And there's nothing to handle, the Nex is super easy to kill with- hitscan, no spread, high burst damage. The weaknesses and complexities built into the other weapons are absent from it.
Quote:I also don't agree that the crylink primary needs a lot less spread.
. . .
You are almost guaranteed to hit your opponent with that weapon some way.
That's a big part of the problem, the weapon is spray and pray. Same for hagar.
This wouldn't be such a problem if the secondary had the same bounce effect as the primary, and then the two swapped places.
