[Suggestion]: Rebalancing the Minigun
Closed this issue ยท 2 comments
I personally believe that the Diamond Gatling is way overpowered in comparison to the other guns introduced in this mod.
I used this mod in a Prism instance alongside a mod that upgrades the Ender Dragon significantly (Ender Trigon), and the Gatling utterly obliterated the Trigon without destroying all the End Crystals.
Now if the Gatling's design was meant to be like that, then fair enough, but the recipe for the Gatling isn't that hard to craft in comparison to the other diamond guns. This relatively accessible gun makes bosses an utter cakewalk.
What this suggestion is trying to do is not lose the original design of the Gatling, but makes it less overpowered in comparison to other Diamond Guns.
Suggestions:
-
Remove the knockback on the Gatling. Referring back to the Ender Trigon, the Ender Trigon couldn't even attack me, as the Gatling was keeping it at bay with the knockback. Removing the knockback from the Gatling would allow for bosses to interact with the player, while keeping the original design.
-
Nerf the base damage of the Gatling. Given the fast rate (which can be further increased with enchantments) and the various bullets you can put on the Gatling, the base damage should be nerfed to balance out the fast firerate.
- Don't think I can remove knockback on hit, will have to check.
- Nerfing damage is something I can do, will probably do that
- I sadly don't have a meaningful way to make it more expensive, and it is meant to be an alternative to the sniper and shotgun
