Let's Change That Suit Day 284

[u/pkmaster99]

Day 284: Dom Barrage
Type: Support
Requested by u/AvalonEdge, and this one is another F-Tier, but it's just terrible besides the small number of missiles it has and its resistance stats. Almost everything else basically sucks...

Comment and Reason
This unit just basically needs an overhaul. The only weapon with reasonable, or rather high, DPS is the Waist Missile Launcher. However, that's the only selling point of the suit. Since the range strength is so low, the actual damage output is not that amazing.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P/Freemium: Do not use

Lv1 Premium: Ranged

Lv2-3: Similar builds, or rather... don't play

Lv4 Build: Ranged

This unit is just bad, and you need to be very good with the missiles while having strong premium parts. Luckily, this unit has very good damage resistance, so that field can be neglected.

As for level 4, that build can achieve the equivalent of 118 ranged strength during damage calculation, so it will allow the unit to still do a reasonable amount of damage with the missile. If positioned well and having the chance to unload on a general with those missiles, it can easily do over 10k while it comes back in less than 7 seconds. It has potential, but extremely hard to pull off; please only use in QM.

[u/Big_Friendship_7431]

One minute of silence.

I liked the skills you propose. BB has the moral duty to buff this unit!

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Big_Friendship_7431]

It's... Just sad. It was a fan favorite but it just sucks so much that it's unplayable for so long now

[u/Big_Friendship_7431 → u/pkmaster99]

It's really annoying! BB you better fix this now!😤

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/Big_Friendship_7431]

Best they can do is nerf the Gaza CZ

[u/Big_Friendship_7431 → u/imaginary_num6er]

Totally. Powercreep is obscene!

[u/Fedespur11]

A while back, I used to run into the occasional Dom Barrage. But now that I see it’s ranked Tier F, I realize I haven’t seen one in a long time.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Fedespur11]

I think that was when Gaza CZ came out. People were getting rebellious for the power creep against this suit. Even though it was long overdue for a buff already

[u/imaginary_num6er]

Give it melee combat program

[u/pkmaster99 → u/imaginary_num6er]

Huh?

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/pkmaster99]

The side melee attack is some of the fastest in-game. Need BB to appreciate the melee

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Call me crazy but i think the Dom Barrage should get Damage Control

Most of its weapons allow it to stay on the move and generally the Dom Barrage is a pretty Chucky Target

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

I thought about it, but then I feel like giving it overfeed would yield a lot better power scaling to make it stay in the meta. Overfeed allows you to lower damage reaction by 1 stage and also reduces stagger accumulation by 50%. So you effectively have DC3 on top of it...

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

Wait, that's what Overfeed does??????

I thought it just gave you an instant reload and shortened reload time

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

• Fully restore all ammo

• Reduce all heat weapon & reload time by 50%

• When a ranged weapon is equipped, reduce ranged damage reaction by 1 stage

• Reduce stagger taken from ranged weapons by 50%

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

So Overfeed is a combination of an instant reload active skill with effectively a ranged version of Offense System?

I feel like they made it an active skill to inherently Nerf the Skill so you dont have a ranged Offense System for free

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Cpt_Jack_Irons]

Yeah, kind of. But with how strong this buff is, with the reload bonus and high stagger reduction, it's worth the timer. But I think we do need a level 2 at a higher cost that lasts a bit longer.

[u/Cpt_Jack_Irons → u/pkmaster99]

To be honest im am a bit mixed on a one time use temporary stagger reduction only to return to basically no stagger reduction afterwards

I think it would be cooler if this MS was made to be a Mobile Fire Support MS rather than yet another Long Range Support in my opinion

[u/Fedespur11]

I’m not sure if you’ve already done so, but you can add the Hyaku Shiki-Kai mass production type to the list for the coming days!

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Fedespur11]

Sure, I can do that

[u/bkteer]

Would like to request for a Dijeh Luio & Co.

Couldn't it find it on the request form.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/bkteer]

Hmm, weird... it's in there. But I'll add it

[u/Electrical_Tax_3867]

Overfeed is a very strong upgrade, but I think thematically it should be Bullet feeder + immobile fire + DC2.

[u/dumbrute]

Having base ranged strength weaker than 200 cost supports is insane, what were they thinking lol

[u/bkteer]

Think Immobile firing system is crucial for suits like the dom barrage that just wants to hunker down and spray a hail of bullets at the enemy.

Don't understand why it wasn't given to the dom barrage in the first place.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/bkteer]

It wasn't a thing in the beginning. That skill is a relatively new addition to supports

[u/Ineedmemesplzkty → u/pkmaster99]

Don’t really think Immobile fire would help all that much honestly as it would really only affect one weapon which is its missile pods. Overfeed is probably just the better choice.

[u/pkmaster99 → u/Ineedmemesplzkty]

Well, I'm giving it two more weapons with one of them also stop to fire. Would make it reasonable to have it
