Anyway gas cloud will still be very effective against tanks with much hp. It deal ridiculous of damage against end game tanks.


Against demon tank it deals about 480 dmg pr sec
Against frost and sky fort it deals about 600 dmg pr sec
Against infernal it deals about 800 dmg pr sec
Against Titan it deals about 1050 dmg pr sec

This numbers are kinda average damage you would deal against those tanks (hull not calculated). scron2 have a point as many others before him implies in this thread that the gas cloud does high amount of damage vs expensive tanks. With the ultimate you get the enemy tank(s) stuck as well. I kinda see their point that this ability has a super advantage compared with other abilities. This ability can be compared with the infernals ultimate, and can deal more damage than it depending on enemies tanks hp.


I'm not sure if this was the intention when this ability was made for the hunter. Well if so the hunter is a very good end game tank slayer. I've also seen it taken down many enenmy tanks effectively with help of gravity grenade so it's still very effective in 8.64.


On the other hand, the ability have weaknesses that makes it ineffective against structures and air tanks, since the ability affects ground only. Also the hunter's abilities are little effective against structures, so it suck in sieges without teammates and sufficient weapons. Also it have a hero only cannon which is only effective against enemy tanks.



My opinion:

It's up to the mappers to balance the game. I say that the gas ability could be without the great slow induced from it. The teleporter item has a great advantage here when it comes of escaping the cloud. Speed item doesn't help that much when you are slowed greatly.
