Now, I have no problem with that, like, if youre equipped with a "cloaking device"
(which I think there is one in game, which buffs conceal by a whackload for a short duration), and youre able to "disappear" then by all means, use being invisible to your advantage!
But, using a conceal device, disappearing, etc are totally different from: I'm going to aim my rifle and pin-point strike you between the eyes while you are brawling/headbutting/slashing you with a frigging airplane wing, etc.
From a simple perspective, what SHOULD be required to use AS/SA is Q(stop fight), conceal, AS/SA.
So, in essence, I'd much rather see that a prof has to be SETUP to use SA/AS in a fight. like: max conceal, to meet the check, then, stop fighting, (opponent can still be targetting you), do the conceal check, and, provided you have met all those criteria, THEN you get to use the special.
The only capping hit which is not OP'd is dimach, because it's on a 10 minute+ timer. only 1 every ten minutes isn't exactly the attack you want to use to wear down your opponent.
As for FA, IMO, you FA 5 times in 1 minute and youre going to melt your gun barrel, no if's and's or but's. FA should be 1/min max. or 2-3 consequetively, with a 3-4 minute cooldown, or need to swap guns or something.
All you people who are crying that this suggestion is only a Nerf this or, nerf that thread, try to see the bigger picture. If FC can balance the specials, then we'd actually see some better pvp.
The #1 reason that so many people complain about AO pvp, is AS, it's used by every wannbe agent and his dog. There is a PISTOL now, with aimed shot! That is by far, the most RETARDED thing I have EVER SEEN. No, sorry, I lied, seeing a advy in wolf morph tanking 8 End gamers, running like a banshee and stopping for 14 milliseconds to get off an "AIMED SHOT" with a Fricking PISTOL is the most retarded thing I've ever seen.
btw, this isn't a nerf advy thread. there is enough of those. It's not a nerf AS thread either... it's a offer to have the specials looked at, and to see if there is something can be done to make their mechanics just a little more reasonable.
