I recently went from a Snakemaster ql199 to a Flashpoint / Nova setup. I did that move cause I thought heck, I have enought money to afford 2x Khaeler sleeve and I have alot of extra ips now that I'm title6. Well to my disapointment I found out that Full automatic on the Flashpoint was nerfed. Basicly I can hit 10k on mobs and on someone in pvp it usualy goes for about 200 - 500 (90% of the time). With my snakemaster I could dig a nice AS that hit for way more (over 1k 90% of the time) every 26 sec.
IMO, AS are just to powerful right now, or FA needs to get unerfed like it was before to equal things out. Makes no sense to get 200 mil + Khaeler sleeve, spend 2x the ip and use a Nova + Flash when you can just use a Snakemaster and wait for AS.
Best solution would be to probably unerfed FA, cause if yet they nerf something else like AS. Everyone will just turn around and use Manex.
