The official Enforcer sticky thread

[Cosmik]

STICKY!!!


{Edit by Akarah: Please note, this thread is very old. A lot of the information in it is outdated or flat-out wrong. This thread will, however, remain "rooted" for sentimental/nostalgic reasons. If you seek information about the Enforcer profession, i recommend this thread.}

W00t!

Wowowowow : stop it ! You're just a bunch of maniacal posters.

So for all the would-be Enforcers, the answers to your questions are linked here :

OK I am starting an Enforcer, can you help me out ?

So what is the best weapon for an Enforcer ?

What are the nanos I should focus on ?

Do you have the list of the nano I can use ?

How am I ever going to get enough creds to buy a Yal ?

Why are slow - big dmge weapons better than fast - smaller dmge weapons ?

Now more technical :

What do you think of over-equiping ?

How is Weapon Melee Init working ?

What about Beams and Init then ?

I want to switch from dual 1HB to 2HB... what do you think ?

1he vs 2hb vs 1hb - How do they compare ?

Once again can we trust spreadsheets to compare 1HB and 2HB ?

Errr... in fact I use Riders Exec... still, can I switch to 2HB ?

Now is Support Beam better than Hammer ?

Bwahahah, I laugh at your 2HB weapons, I wanna look cool and use 2HE. Can you help ?

Shall I protect my butt with Decus Coat or Tank Armor ?

Is Flurry of Blows useful ?

For mid-level Enforcers :

What kind of implants are you using ?

What kind of nanos past 80 ?

And last point a very nice general beginners' FAQ.


Hope it's useful guys. I think that all the productive rants we had in the past are summarized here. If I missed something add it or send me a private message to edit this post and keep it neat.


Added recently for new maniacs :

Dude what's Borg Ball (tm) exactly ?

[Bierbauch]

What about a wishlist for Enforcer.

I will start with:

- New weapons, especially 2HB
- Remove penalties from tank armor
- Increase our tanking capability (Soldiers TMS is much better then any Enforcer)

[Downsizr]

I would say read the forum.

[BGumble]

Good, thanks Cosmik, we thought we'd scared you off

[Whiterrabbit]

gratz enforcers!
now you've got it, what are you going to put in it?

hey cos, it just goes to show that you do read the boards and are in touch with the common gamer

[BGumble]

I think you know the answer to that one ReelBigFish...

We've got our sticky thread, Gummi has posted links to all the important stuff at the beginning of it, now I guess we'll just spam hell out of it to see who can keep their name at the top.

My money is on Gummi, with Yazule a close second.

[Khayne]

Thanks Cosmik, it was sorely needed.

Really great post Gummi!

[______________Sredni]

hahahahaha, hehe. Man, who knew funcom employies could actually have a sense of humor . And thanks for all the links Gummi, those are a great help .

[_______________Fazun]

lol .... enforcers .... ,)

but dang, to be honest i'm impressed by this thread (all the links and stuff) .....

arg, almost gettin jealous a bit ehehehe ,)

[Bonegnasher]

nice how we manage (well Gummi manages, but we will all take credit for it because it is good work and we wanna be recognized) to get a load of useful information in the sticky thread, and yet we still manage to give it the enforcer seal of approval with all of our unique, though unrelated, replies.

Like, we're not as organized as some forums, but we get all the good info in, and still have time for crumpets and tea....err....tacos and beer as the case may be.

Gummi!!

How dare you make such a comprehensive and helpful post!
You are giving away our secret!

Peepul iz knot gunna thinck wee ams dum no mor.

[Breaku]

w00t.

Umm.. fixes

i would like more weapons than just a beam and hammer. Something ENF only not just ATROX. or maybe a fire or radiation type of damage beam that only ENF's can use.

It seems like MPS are just like ENF except they got 3 pets, and can cast hostile nanos. Give the ENF something "unique" to them as in damage.

Also fix the bug about "rage" not breaking roots when u have an absorbtion shield on. or was this intended.

- id like to see us have something "new" too. We have been the same ol' boring hammer/beam/(sometimes)1hb dueling tankers. We haven't had much "new" stuff. Maybe our own special type of tank armor that doesn't give negatives, or once again new weapons that give out different types of damage ie/ radiation,fire,chemical

Breaku 72 apprentice ENF

p.s.
heh.. i know that the ENF threads are all humorous and such, but i think we should try to keep things more serious on this thread. Considering that its sticky, and that cosmik/cz will probably be reading this one the most out of anything else.

Otherwise they are never gonna add anything to our profession, and we will remain untouched while every other class dominates slowly (ie/ mps and engineers are)

p.s.s
But I like the comedy

[Breaku]

oh another thing...

i wish that u could allow us... maybe not just the ENF profession but almost give this option to everyone (maybe go along with the ip reset), a chance to change my size ie/ hieght. Im Soo dam big in missions. my head is constantly going walls and i can barely see the puny mobs. I thought when i created a enf that beign taller would help my hp. Silly me.

Is this something that could be possible. Missions are complicated enough with mobs teleporting. I just wish i could choose teh smallest size possible enf. I don't feel like re-rolling. Too much time waisted already. i have 6 characters. i don't want to start a 7th.


Please a reply on this would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. Bracers of shrinking flesh don't help either, once u cast essence, mongo, and challenger. YOur still dam huge. I need to be SMAll Small small

Well I was kinda hoping a donut.
And some links go to p0rn site too.

[________YoricksGibes]

I feel an urge to post in the sticky thread, and since post counts a goal I figure its allright.

[__________SuupaSayen]

*bump*

Hmm, was that necessary?

[Breaku]

bugs - more

RAGE is supposed to break/cancel/destroy all hostile nanos that u currently have on.

It only breaks roots.

i've listed a few points. Any moderators have any answers?

[Thyrra]

i thought this board was unmoderated.

[edit]

i've broken down and will put links here to the constantly asked questions.
