The ongoing Warmaster battle: Back VS Arm

[Deunan]

we have killed the monkey with 3 and half remaining... didnt shoot the back.. you wanna know how we did it.. read my post... might have been less. bunch of us have dubl crit wolfs. and nasty heavys. u ever pop the crystal second time up on the wall... we have. with randoms

I've been in PUGs that targeted the back that have broken the back piece before the first hang. You're not going to change the minds of people who believe that the back is better. Per my earlier post we're past that stage. Players need to take a vote in team chat and go with a majority. Ultimately it's irrelevant which is better. Both techniques have been proven to work efficiently but personal player preference has to yield to the majority's choice. Otherwise it may result in failure.

I don't know if you've been doing any Major Arkfalls lately but we're already beyond that stage. Players have already have switched. Entire groups have switched. More often than not the PUGs I'm in are shooting the back. I've been in PUGs that target the back where the overwhelming majority of the group lines up at the back, breaks the armor in decent time and kills him with plenty of time to spare.

No i have not done the warmaster lately ive been playing other games. I just log in like once a week to do weekly challenges. Im really just waiting for titanfall and ESO to come out. FYI if you enjoy PvP in this game you will probably like Loadout on steam it plays a lot a like this game just more fast paced.

Can't even get players to not shoot the locks early or not use the worse types of weapons. How can we expect to coordinate the spikes ?

Believe it or not I've been in PUGs where we did have designated protection spike users for the burn phase while targeting the back. Now that chat is updating properly it is easier to coordinate in PUGs.

Thats good, i glad that chat finally works. It just feels a little to late for me at least.

I would suggest the arm. Always the arm. ALWAYS THE ARM!
The one reason I've seen people suggest the back is because of the perk that ups damage you do when behind an enemy. This perk works on the arm too if you're in the right place don'tcha know. I've been more succesful when shooting the arm. More people seem to do it. It is how we started out killing the WM after all. Who started this shoot the back idea has started confusion and probably fails that didn't need to be. We had that guy on farm in PUGS because we all knew to shoot the arm and nothing else. Shoot the correct arm = profit. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
