why are are all elite npc almost immune to energy

[carnack]

Reduce energy DR on elite mobs (caravans, slags). They have unreasonable high dr for energy making energy weapons useless on these npc. It is now impossible to use energy weapons against these enemies. I suggest reducing energy dr for those enemies by 20% to compensate.

When i do caravans, i take gatling and 1 hex renegades or masters elite, its no problem about it. but with guns like plasma rifle duno... so , take gatling

Why bother slags? Hell most people dont even know they exist...

well you can onehex renegades with 10mm smg, thats not an argument

It's fine

you're just weak

[carnack]

Ye sure, mr expert how many caravans did you finish after the update exactly ?

[Kirkor]

I think those elite mobs are shit.

Yes, they should be tougher than normal mobs, but this is just overdone.
IMO +100hp, +10dr and slightly higher damage would be enough.

Energy is already shit because of tesla helmets.

hahaha exactly.. i remember when u started topic about Tesla Helmets are overpowered, everyone was laughing at it.. and now few months later.. 50-90% players in pvp have always tesla helmets

Some shity ghouls in special caravan encounters get hit for 60-90 damage on hex with gatling, wich is half the minimum you deal on a tank in pvp. Killing one of those requires like 500 MFC (3 or 4 K MFC for the fight :S).

[Kaaon]

uhm yup this topic is about npcs, i tried all laser, plasma, electric, normal damage to them and i must say.. only way to kill them is using normal damage which sucks..

[Kirkor]

I dont get why those NPCs are so strong?
Just get rid of all caravan NPC guards, give caravan leader some shitty weapon (but give him big resistances/a lot of hp, so he dont die when you fart) and you won't be able to just afk on a caravan (cause that's the reason of introducing those OP encos).

I don't mind slightly harder mobs, but this is just ridiculous.

good idea then we would have to kill those mobs instead being afk while encounters will be not that hard
and its also about Slags (new npcs in NR and V15) not just about npcs in encounters

It's because of BBS.

It's because of BBS.

BBS or not, when you have 10 npcs with bridgeskeeper robe and 223 pistols shooting your head at the same time, you just die before having the time to think about an epic last stand/coward escape.
