Earthrobot - pls buff it somehow

[DerSatan]

With the 17 armor a laser only does 400 damage because earth robot has a 50% reduction in damage, also add 60% reduction of the 400 from the laser because of granite defense, and you get 160 damage a second.

Sky tank has about a 30% reduction in damage the same laser will do 560 damage to the sky tank.

this info might interest you: the armor is not affecting tank weapons and abilities. this means, the laser will do the same damage to a tank with -135 armor, as well as to a tank with 523 armor. it does exactly the damage which is stated in its tooltip.

however, granite defense does affect tank weapons and abilities, as it includes a magical damage reduction. but this skill is most often useless, with the high speed reduction you barely get to fight with this skills activated more than 1-2 seconds. just in CP fights its a really good skill.

I just dont know why so many people suck so hard with the earth robot it is one of the best tanks

maybe now you know. the high armor just makes the earth robot not dying too fast to creeps. but this doesnt make him one of the best tanks in my opinion.

And please whine all you want, and maybe Exodos will change the earth robot then you all will be back on here saying its to imba.

at the moment, he is just too weak, so we are searching for a balance, not for an imba tank.

granite defense is a nice skill
dust wave is useful, but could be better (i think antigrav's jump is better than this skill, but thats a matter of opinion)
transparent armor is at most annoying people because you are harder to see
earthquake (ultimate) is often just plain useless. it cant do anything against air tanks, tanks who can stun other tanks and dont want earthquake to be cast, and tanks who got a teleporter and dont want to get affected by earthquake. additionally, if the enemy got a speed upgrade, they normally just leave the earthquake area quick before getting the full damage.
