Gatling Gun - Ring- - 2009-10-05
I propose a weapon that can be an alternative to the overly used laser:
Weapon name: Gatling Gun
Cost: 9500
Damage: 133
Range: 950 (Shorter range means it will do more damage than the laser)
Cooldown: 0.2 (attacks like the Machine Gun, perhaps not the same graphics though)
Damage per second: 665
Upgrade-Cost: 3500 (Total cost 13000, 1k more than the laser)
Bonus-Damage: +49
Damage per second: 910
Could be sold in the Outposts.
You could argue that Psycho Magic is an alternative to the laser, but the laser is still far more popular. Most likely thats because of its slower attack rate and if it hits a creep, that shot is wasted. Even though Psycho does more damage, 4x lasers vs 4x psycho, the lasers win in a real fight with creeps around.
The Gatling Gun fires twice as fast as Psycho Magic, and the shorter range will make it more powerful than both psycho or lasers.

I like this idea. I'd like to see something similar but with 777 range. Notice how Ghosts of Doom have lower damage than the other magics of greater range? I'd like to see an intermediate range item that has equivalent damage instead of lesser damage and lesser range. "Ghosts of Terror" or something.
One thing I notice missing in the most expensive weapons shack is a high-efficiency low range weapon. The most expensive weapon is high dmg, high cooldown, which is inefficient against creeps. This is why some choose frost laser or psycho laser instead.
I'd like to see a good alternative in short range. Perhaps name it the "Vulcan Cannon". It would be of equivalent cost and dmg as the 30k weapon, but have low cooldown and slightly less range, making it efficient on creeps.
This would be a good weapon for Infernal or anyone who has the balls to get in close.

i.e. a Chainsaw?
$30k
range: 200
dps: 9000?
lol
Wouldn't we all want something like that.
But I was proposing something to be an alternative to the laser, so the range would have to be almost the same.

The only reason people get laser is because you can buy it cheap at 7000. This weapon requires you to farm 2500 more gold.
Re: Gatling Gun - Althend - 2009-10-05
I use laser as low range weapon that i can upgrad later if others players are low range... That is why psycho is less interesting. I would rather increase power of psycho. I don't see any good reason toc reate this gatling.
Re: Gatling Gun - Tom-Ace - 2009-10-08
I have never liked laser that much, its a boring gun that everyone gets, and its a bit imba, do to it being the only gun to have 3 upgrades.
And with the psycho, 10k is to high for a gun that does what 833 damage? Heck for 1k more i can get blaster that does 500 more dps, and yeah i know it has a short range but who does not have a tp that late in the first place.
Funny thing is darkness cannon and photon have about the same damage, i think darkness is 1777, and photon is like 1850, all you do is pay 7.5k (thats counting upgrade kids) more gold to get 250 more range, so by the time you get 2 photons i'll have 3 darkness
..........................So if you can read this that means you care about what i am saying, so ill ramble on a bit about guns weeee fun times.
here are some guns that no one ever uses, soul stone, (i think thats its name err) frost magic, death magic, burning rocks, grenades, molotov, acid gun, ummmm (ummmm not a gun just thinking give me a sec gawd) normal rocks, that aa plasma gun, and machinegun. I find all of those guns to be rarely used.
Re: Gatling Gun - Paladon - 2009-10-08
Plasma and Molotov is definitely often used dude
Concerning Soul Stone, Frost & Death Magic, i agree.
Re: Gatling Gun - GEN_Schwarzkopf - 2009-10-08
One reason I like Psycho Magic > Laser is because Heavy Tank armor can repel a larger percentage of the Laser dmg since it is low cooldown with low dmg. Since I figured this out I simply go for Psycho Magic instead if I'm looking for a moderately priced ranged weapon.
I have no objection to the Gattling Gun as proposed, as long as it's cost per unit damage follows the same formula as all the other 950 range weapons.

Heavy Tank armor reduces only physical damage, no weapons as they are spells.

Well i guess i should have said plasma (the 6k aa gun) and molotov, are rarely used on east server.
Re: Gatling Gun - Kesarion - 2009-10-08
More weapons = More fun ?
Hell yea !!!
By the way, I use Molotov and I can beat anyone with laser by getting Infernal Rocks :twisted:
Re: Gatling Gun - mooneye - 2009-10-09

Re: Gatling Gun - Tom-Ace - 2009-10-11
