It's nothing more than a panic button. A goddamn panic button.
It requires literally ZERO skill to kill people with it. You simply press a button and everyone around you dies in less than a second. Once the animation has been initiated, the only way to stop it is if you have a super, three rocket launchers, or a dozen shotguns already aimed at the guy. No other super activates that fast, so unless you have one already active, and are aiming at them, you've got pretty much no freaking chance of stopping it.
What the hell are you supposed to do? Stay away from all titans at all times just in case one might have it ready? Killing a Titan before he has the chance to press the button doesn't work, as he'll simply have it ready the next time he respawns. It's simply not feasible to kill a Titan after the button's been pressed unless he's already severely wounded.
Why the hell is it that whenever this is brought up on the forums, everyone jumps to its defense?
The striker subclass is supposed to be unstoppable, I get it. What I don't like is how no other class has a super that's that goddamn effective. No other class has a super that, once activated, guarantees that everyone around you will die unless they either happen to have a super capable of killing you already active, or they have a fist of havoc that they can also use to survive the explosion.
I know that these forums has a severe allergic reaction to the word "nerf", but I really think that Fist of Panic deserves it. At least make it so that in PVP it requires a second to charge before detonating, making their window of vulnerability slightly larger.
"Press a button to instantly kill everyone around you." is OP in the crucible even amongst supers. It simply can't be countered by anything because once it's activated, you've got less than a second to react, which is not enough time to do anything capable of stopping it.
Either give us a more time to counter it, or give the other classes a super each that is equally unstoppable.
[b]To everyone who will inevitably side with the super and insult me in the comments below, I genuinely want to know how you can justify this. Every super has a bane, a weakness, except this one. GG has no armor and can easily be shut down, WoD can be countered by simply staying away from the bubble or blowing it up with another super, Stormcaller is easily noticable and thus gives players a chance to react and flee from it. Fist of Havoc has no weakness. If you're in range when it's activated, you will die.. If you disagree, I challenge you to explain a reliable method of not dying when you're in range of an incoming panic fist.[/b]
Seriously, the only ways a FoH could actually NOT kill people is if they somehow belly flopped off the map, chose to waste it when there were no enemies around, or if they chose to belly flop at someone who already had GG aimed at them ready to fire. Also if someone reacted by activating their own belly flop so the armor would protect them, but that's assuming they're a titan and also have a ready-to-activate FoH.
All of the above can be avoided with even the slightest bit of competence and should not be considered "weaknesses" of the super.

You ridiculous shit

So FOH is the only reason for that kd bud?
-
A full magazine from the fourth horseman will kill a striker in the air
-
It sucks but.... Who cares? That's what it's made for!
-
Same way as nova bomb and GG. Hope they miss or take them out first.
-
Bwahahahahhah! Thank you, I cried so much I laughed.
-
It's simple, you run and hope they prematurely havoc-ulated so you can escape the blast radius.

Edited by LBENIS: 1/22/2016 3:40:24 AMSeriously? With bladedancers and stormcallers that can wipe out entire teams one person at a time.....and you pick a super that USUALLY kills 1, maybe 2 max. Sorry, no support here. Edit: don't forget GG with 3-4 unlimited range insta-kills. Seriously kid...smh.

Jump Backwards. It would be one thing if they were consistently wrecking groups of players but rarely do they kill more than 1 or 2 people. That's its balance. They activate it and it's over, Same as Nova Bomb. It's a highly reliable super that typically kills a low amount of players. You're not supposed to get any more than a split second of time to react to those supers, or else people would dodge them all the time.

Edited by BondyMilk: 1/22/2016 5:41:08 AMI mained a titan before my warlock. Especially with DFA, we titans can easily be avoided. Jump up, if we don't have aftershock, then you unload. If we do have aftershock, wait for the pulses to stop and stay in a safe area. FoH doesn't range into the air except when triggered, but the height is only that of a jump without lift, blink, or whatever. Another weakness is that after we trigger, we take a second to bathe in the arc field. Shoot us while our head is down. You are probably a salty Hunter mad about your poor decisions. Suck it up, Get some skill before you give your fellow hunters bad rep. Some of you are cool but it is you that give the hunters a bad name.
-
You know what the bane or weakness of a FoH is? The fact that you have to get in close to an enemy and unleash it. Rarely will a fist of havoc take out more than 1 or 2 guardians because, unless they're grouped up, you won't get a multi kill...with every other super, you have the chance to get multi kill every time you use it.... Its not impossible to kill them, I've been shotgunned mid havoc and died...if they get in range and you haven't killed them get, that's all on you, not them.

With Zen like acceptance.

Edited by Beau__98: 1/22/2016 4:57:18 AMAre you Implying other supers require skill because they don't. It's simple, if you see a Titan rushing you unload your gun on them. P.s. get good
-
Lol wow. Really? Like... is this for real???
-
Dude you just got the game for Christmas and here crying to us?
-
Move out way .....enough with these 3 page long tales of how bad you suck at pvp. Wipe your tears off the key board and ask your self is that 265 green gun worth your time?
-
Dude your an idiot first off you are new, second off its a SUPER your NOT supposed to counter that. Go back to first grade kid and play mind craft while your parents try to teach you. Oh well your dumb
-
Hahahahaha what do you know, a big scrubby hunter
-
Checked your profile, was not disappointed.
-
Read your first couple sentences and decided that was enough to chirp. It's literally a super at shot gun range, I'd trade it in for just about any other super ? What else do you want. They already nerfed sunbreaker into the ground. I didn't look but I bet you're a hunter hahaha I can't wait to see after I press post. Delete the app scrub, you've maximized your word count for about a year.

You wanna know how to counter it? Don't get within range.
