Shore's taunt cooldown

Juex777

So the updated trooper content showed up today. I was really bummed with the increase from 3 to 4 turns in cooldown on his taunt. I'd love to just keep the character how it was.

For me, I consider this to be a considerable nerf. The addition of the crit immunity and heal on himself is also a disadvantage on one of my main team comps that I use him on regularly. He actually was pretty good with Rex. For the first round, he auto taunted with no crit immunity, so Aoe's all gave me TM (that part still works) . Then with crit immunity on the rest of the team and him taunting, I still got TM while they critted Shore. Now all that is gone and he's taunting only about half the time at most. That is what made him so good, his short taunt cooldown. Now there isn't nearly as good of protection, even if he is harder to kill. Less TM, less healing. Major nerf with my (and many others I imagine) team comp!

I'm bummed! :-(

Thought it was always 4 turns.

Juex777

With the omega it was 3.

Mitchell_13

Always been 4

Juex777

Are you completely sure? I remember it being 3 with the omega.

I think if it gets dispelled the cooldown is lowered by two since he also gives himself crit immunity now, so it is about the same still

Mitchell_13

Mine currently has a CD of 4, but not omega'd.

Juex777

In the description of still only says it the cooldown gets lowered by 1 of dispelled ....so that part is the same.

Swgoh.gg still has the old info.

Juex777

Have you been forced to client restart yet? I just got it and after the cooldown was increased by one

Juex777

Yeah. It definitely was a cooldown of 3 with omega before.... Now it's gone up to 4

Juex777

They probably adjusted that while using him in the new trooper synergy. But for a lot of us who use him in other comps, this is a major nerf that's really going to hurt our teams.

Juex777

I worked so hard on him. It's really discouraging.

Cyrus_Ren

4-1=3

Mitchell_13

Mines still 3

It was 4 look at the pic I posted. If they changed the duration it would have been mentioned.

Ya, but he didn't give himself crit immunity before, only other allies got it, so if he loses taunt it is still the same cooldown as before technically
edit: wait I just checked, the cooldown was always 4 turns....

Juex777

It won't be after the newest in-game update and client restart

Make sure you are looking at the level 7 ability. If you just click on the ability it takes you to the next available upgrade which shows you what it will be.
Level 7 CD is 5
Level 8 CD is 4

Mitchell_13

Already did all that. Updated it. No change

It will be good for trooper comps I'm sure, but that in itself hurts his useless in my Rex arena squad. My main squad is going suffer, probably in a big way. He had plenty of protection and health as it was to survive a while. This will be a nerf for anyone who had him well geared. It will outweigh the new ability in pretty certain for a lot of squads.

Juex777

Not the appstore update. There was an additional in game update. 25 minutes ago, it was pushed to my device, requiring a client restart and some new in game downloads

I've had it omega's for a while. Cooldown was 3. Now it is 4

Juex777

It s the only taunt I knew about with a 3 turn cooldown. Well worth the omega

So when you used it and it was his next turn it showed 2 turns left?

Juex777

He had the best taunt in the game. When it was dispelled it was always up again almost immediately. It definitely was 3 (-1 when dispelled) with omega. Yes. I'm sure. Someone on here just confirmed theirs still says cooldown of 3 at level 8

scuba

Well here is my last proof that you are mistaken and it was 4

Edit:changed pic so it also showed ability description in game.

Juex777

It's a backdoor nerf. Offering something to keep an already hard to kill character around longer at the expense of the most practical taunt in the game being nerfed.

Juex777

Maybe it was an error then... Because it was 3. And someone on here just also read that theirs still said 3. So regardless of why there is a desrepency. My best tank just got nerfed. It's quite noticable in game play as well

Juex777

Though. I'm not sure why it said 3 on our games and 4 on the description. I do get that your proof should be evidence. There never should have been a discrepancy to begin with. Very strange.

TofuMao

Erm I used shoretrooper for about a month in arena and what you are all mistaken about is not CD that was always 4, after using you could see the 3 CD on him but his taunt lasted 3 turns and I remember this because he was always taunting and now if he has a 2 turn taunt, he's always gonna be missing a round to permataunt that is what made him good for me, although, he's been changed for kenobi now, way better ^_^
