--- Quote from: Qwepir on February 17, 2011, 09:07:01 PM --- but I'm pretty sure the .38 special refers to the cartridge and not the gun so whatever --- End quote --- You are correct, and a .38 Special is a small cartridge. My review of your set: The .880 special isn't a bad replacement. More damage for a smaller cylinder size. The rapier is a stupid idea. It doesn't even offer another style of play, it just makes the spy less capable of doing his job, completely defeating the purpose of the spy. He's not a combat class, his primary attack is to knife and run, taking away his ability to deal a backstab makes him almost worthless. You backstab someone with the rapier, and it does damage, which is cute, but then they've turned around and you are dead. The laser watch is semi-neat, but overall useless. By the time you start firing the laser, you're already dead seeing as it increases in damage over time, and because of the rapier you can't disguise or backstab any enemy. Overall the set isn't well thought out at all. You didn't consider how the spy is supposed to be played or his role on the team. Even the revolver is a generic "sacrifice X for damage" weapon. |

Lots of damage if you are close, which is easy for scouts because of their speed, but this set will be solely reliant on camping in corners. --- End quote --- I was talking about this set. |

It doesn't do pisspoor damage if you miss a backstab, unlike the knife. --- Quote from: yuki on February 17, 2011, 10:08:54 PM ---Even the revolver is a generic "sacrifice X for damage" weapon. --- End quote --- I was going to make the revolver replace the sapper with something else but I couldn't think of what to put instead. --- Quote from: yuki on February 17, 2011, 10:08:54 PM ---You didn't consider how the spy is supposed to be played or his role on the team. --- End quote --- Tell that to the genius that thought up the Eyelander and Targe. |

It doesn't do pisspoor damage if you miss a backstab, unlike the knife. It still undermines the purpose of the spy, and is generally a dumb idea. Tell that to the genius that thought up the Eyelander and Targe. No stuff. The sword/targe were the dumbest additions to date. --- End quote --- |
