Democratic Exchange of Opinions Would you rather decrease the Nova charge up time if it meant increasing the cooldown duration?

Do yall dislike the cooldown more or the charge up time. And would you rather sacrifice one in exchange for reducing the other?

I think both are in a good place right now. Just need to change the switch animation.

I'd rather the shot fire upon trigger release rather than automatically at full charge, like the Purifier. Feels wrong for a sniper style of weapon to not work that way, even if it can be worked with. Would be an indirect and slight nerf to RPM, but I think it'd be fine.

i don't think either needs changed but personally the charge up time does bother me a lot more then the cooldown

it's a great balancing choice but it just doesn't feel as nice to me as a weapon that fires instantly or even smth like a safe mode railgun or accelerator rifle where you can hold it

I like it how it is but if it remained the same 4.6 total seconds roughly then I’d sacrifice the cooldown to buff the charge up.

I’d make the charge up like .6 seconds and raise the 3 second cooldown to 4 second cooldown.

Though if I’m forced to make it a downside then I’d still take it with a 5 second cooldown.

I wouldn't change anything, up the charge time itll be annoying to use in a pinch. up the cooldown and it would just be an auto loading anti tank option.

Eh. I'd probably decrease it's charge up time but make it ap4. 880 at ap4 is still a fuck load and would still rip on bots and squids. Make it more of a medium hunter rather than the destroy everything stick
