Talk:Cat o' Nine Tails

Major changes to Effect and Description sections
I have made some very significant changes to Cat O' Nine Tails article as of 12/31/16, because the article was previously rife with faslehoods and incorrect information. In order: So, overall I've definitely improved the quality and veracity of the article. If anyone has different test results, I will post a youtube video of my tests and explain the math, and of course I'd expect the same from the disputing side.
 * There is no variation in the number of split beams. It is always nine, contrary to what the article previously claimed.
 * The weapon is most certainly NOT specifically "intended to be used for indirect fire," conidering that simply firing the initial laser shot directly at the target will cause EVERY beam, INCLUDING the first one, to hit, resulting in a tenfold increase in damage. Advising players to try to shoot the ground  to hit targets specifically with the ricochet bolts is like advising a player to only hip fire so that they don't get reduced movespeed from aiming. In other words, I see the thought process but that's not really an efficient way of doing things.
 * In the old article, there was no mention or knowledge of the fact that hitting an enemy with the initial bolt deals MORE damage than hitting the same enemy with all 9 ricochets, because the initial beam counts towards the initial damage. This is pretty dang important, and is 75% of the reason why the aforementioned terrible advice is, well, terrible advice.

Cordially,
