Grayshift Wrote:My point is not that harmbatoning isn't powerful - it's that regular batoning is pretty much better no matter your intentions in nearly every case.I've seen antagonists singlehandedly dominate entire departments of people on the station with just a harmbaton. That's the kind of shit you usually see with people using wrestling belts or c-sabers. For me, it isn't really the power of the item that's the problem; there are much more powerful murderbats you can throw around the station, such as aforementioned wrasslers and saberguys. What rubs me the wrong way is that this murderbat is something as almost ubiquitous as a stun baton.
