..just don't.
do. not. feed.
just ignore/report sth. not worth the effort
So tlt nerfz Inc?
If anything I think it's stressbot that needs a nerf. It was the core of the list and is an absolute steal at 2 points.
My takeaway from the tournament is that multiple reliable stress generators will do very well.
Seeing as Nathan had to beat a 3 K-Wing TLT list to get to the final, I really don't think the TLT needs a nerf
Maybe have stressbot only work if you have no stress yourself? That might be too much of a nerf. Maybe one stress or less?

or we can just accept that it's part of the game and play around it. The thing that wins doesn't always need a nerf.
Why does the stressbot need a nerf? Because it was included in the winning worlds list?
Lets nerf Bandits too! It was totally in that list as well!
Nerf everything!!!!
nerf them. ALL OF THEM.
(just if it's unclear (can't see how): dramatisation/sarcasm! just add water)

No nerfs are needed right now.
(Maybe expanding mov nerfs to small ships)
Certain ships can use a buff still though. Like defenders but who knows they might receive a minor boost from wave 8 stuff.
When I started following X wing I watched lots of Batreps and tournaments on You tube. In one of them they were disussing the soon to be introduced TLT and one opinion voiced was that squad lists would become less about red and green dice and more about control lists with stress and ions. Think this worlds has supported that prediction.
Red and Green dice were still very important. Poor Corran...

If you refer to the finals, Corran was going down anyway. It was just slightly quicker than expected. The A-wing can't come about due to stress, Poe is I don't know - he could have got a shot in - but Paul Heaver's entire squadron is aimed at Corran. I think he was planning on Corran living long enough for Poe to get some licks in but that A-wing was out of it and Poe's position was not ideal (look where he is after he turns around and Paul's guys move forward).
Edited by moppersA little late to the party, but didn't Paul lose 1 game in 2015? I swear he lost one in the preliminaries but sill made the cut with a 5-1 record... Or am I just crazy?
And congrats to Paul for another championship! That's really cool.
I think what makes Paul so great at this game is that he really knows how is opponents think. He doesn't use net lists (or at least they don't become net lists until after he wins with them)- the closest he came to a net list was his fat Han last year, but even then he didn't kit it out the way everyone else was, he kitted it out to counter the way everyone else was doing it. He's good at reading the meta and understanding how to deal with it.
This year, it's obvious he knew he was going to face a variety of lists so he brought a little of everything to counter whatever he might face. VI Poe to hunt aces and weather TLTs. TLT stress hog for control. 1 regular TLT for coverage. And then a Z-95 to round out the list and give him the extra fire/blocking power. A little bit over everything to deal with anything.
And even more than that, he's good at reading what people are going to do on the table. I mean just managing to get the stress hog pointed at the right enemy ships repeatedly takes incredible skill and foresight.
I can't wait to hear his commentary on the tournament and how he developed his list.
Forgive me if this was already answered in the last 32 pages, but does anyone know if the videos are archived & available anywhere? Man, even from home that was way cool to follow.
Thanks for any info!

Nevermind, found a link in another thread. http://www.twitch.tv/ffglive/v/24112989 Hopefully those get trimmed down & labeled at some point. Thanks!
Ok. I need to have this clarified: half my Playgroup says tlt gives you two stress with tac. I read on these board that you only get one even though the gun attacks twice because it only chooses target once? Whats the truth?

Just one, unless you put the title on your Y so you give one with primary and one with turret.
Tactitian Tlts give two, instead
One stress from R3-A2, because he triggers when you declare a target, which you only do once with TLT. While tactician triggers with each attack, which you do twice against the same target. So one stress from TLT and R3-A2, two stress from TLT and tactician.

Let's get the FAQ text:
Twin Laser Turret
Twin Laser Turret is treated as two separate attacks against the same target. During the second attack, the “Declare Defender and Weapon” step is skipped.
R3-A2
When you declare the target of your attack, if the defender is inside your firing arc, you may receive 1 stress token to cause the defender to receive 1 stress token.
Tactician
After you perform an attack against a ship inside your firing arc at Range 2, that ship receives 1 stress token.
BTL-A4
You cannot attack ships outside your firing arc. After you perform a primary weapon attack, you may immediately perform an attack with a secondary weapon.
As posted above, TLT & R3-A2 nets you 1 stress, because you only declare a target once. Tactician triggers after each separate attack.
R3-A2, with BTL and TLT gives you three attacks, where you twice declare targets, allowing you to trigger R3-A2 twice.
Haha thats really confusing. Let me try to sum up. A tlt with tac shoots at me at r2 inside arc. I only recieve 1 stress even though the tlt rolls three dice twice because tac only triggers as you chose target which is only once with tlt, right? If the ship also has a stressbot on board (kwing) I receive 2 stress. One from bot and one from tac. If i get shot by a btl y with stress bot i get 2 as the bot Can trigger off of Both shots, right? So: tac Never gives two stress with just a tlt?
Edited by ScoundrelOr is it the other Way around? Each shot with the tlt lets tac trigger? Thats how i read the last post. Thats really strong.
