Mek turret

[Toilailee]

Doesn't supress anymore and does less dps than a las turret but costs 4x more power?

[saltychipmunk]

yeah i dont get either maybe there was some op ork build that used them that someone didnt like too much

[Arbit]

It's more like hardly anyone used the mek turret because it was pretty sucky so Cael tried to turn it into something else. The idea is appealing but it sounds like the execution isn't quite there. It's a beta.

I dunno why the mek turret was never buffed to be in line with the PM/TM turrets. The possibility of him teleporting and putting it somewhere totally broken I guess?

[Ace of Swords]

It was fine as it was, since it was also salvageable, and the damage/supression was decent enough.

[Torpid]

It was fine as it was.

Can someone please clear this up for me: Does the mek turret's damage in 2.2.5 change based on proximity?

But yeah, it doesn't work atm, too expensive.

[Toilailee]

I agree, it was fine as it was.

[Cyris]

I am looking forward to trying it, though the theorycraft does feel off. All I can easily see is 10 less power for losing suppression, and that sounds like a bad trade. The damage numbers are too obscure for me; just how much did this increase it by? Does it do more or less then a IG turret now and at what ranges?

I like the theory, I want to see this work out. I will be building it next time I'm Mek.

[Caeltos]

Just trying stuff out.

It was pretty retarded when you put a deffgun on mek as well. With teleporting suppression he is still the cheesiest commander out there

[Codex]

To be fair does the Mek need more access to suppression in T1? I think something along these lines is fine, would make it far cheaper on power though.

[Lulgrim]

ATM it still retains the damage falloff/increase over range so it's kind of weak at long distance and might suddenly surprise-rape stuff that gets closer;

distont/long - 33.75 dps
medium - 180 dps
short - 393.75 dps

[Torpid]

That's so weird. It should probably just do straight dps like a las-turret?

[Ace of Swords]

short - 393.75 dps

Holy shit that's alot of damage

[Nuclear Arbitor]

ork setups have always been like that. they had the lowest damage at range and by far the highest up close. close isn't a very big slice of pie though, which is the issue.

Maybe should have a higher dps at long range and lower in short range? Since it can't suppress or infiltrate such high dps at short range it's a waste.

yeah. last time people had this conversation though the general response was that it's hard to setup a situation like that and it's very situational.

[Arbit]

OK these things are still terrible right?
