Covops still have a good chance of killing guards with their plasma arc. And ECMs can always use their ion beam. Recons can steal some shields, I guess, or they could warp away.
cov ops - yep
ecm - yep
recon - forgot how they work, how much shield does a phase remodulator take off a guard? (it has no damage type so it’s like true damage, ignores resists)

I think it’s about 4k over I-have-no-idea-how-many seconds. Taking cover and returning for revenge while pulsar’s on cooldown is probably the best option for a recon.
Parasitic Remodulator steals upwards of 4k shields over 20secs.
Got it so i will take a look t2 mk3 5363 shield over 10 sec range 2250m.
Recons vs a tackler: Tackler activates debuffs, but recon cloaks and activates warp, escapes. Tackler goes to him, but dies because the recon warped to his 3 enginners/fighters/anything else.
Thats my life as a dwarf 2…

That shouldn’t happen. My rational mind tells me not to pursue fleeing targets.
Unfortunately, reality is sometimes different and I find myself looking at the respawn screen and wondering why I didn’t take my own advice.
Maybe its like this then:
Tackler ctivates debuff but recon escapes.He comes. back when you are following something. Recon cloaks and kill you because you used debuffs on the target you were following.
No, the pro Recon pilot will sing hallelujah when he sees a Tackler. Why? It’s like candy to them. Apply debuffs. If he turns to you and applies his debuffs, it’s christmas, because all you do is cloak and set yourself on his tail, gunning him down while you escape unscathed.
The ONLY counters I’ve seen to this method, so far (as I’ve fallen victim to), are:
Pulsar: it doesn’t let you stay cloaked long enough for you to set on his tail.
Minefields & Proximity Mines: If the Tackler brought your shields down to zero and took part of your armor off, you die.
Guided Torpedo: Ceptors. It’s like candy to these pilots.
Phase Modulator is broken vs Tacklers. How are you supposed to do your job when the guy you’re chasing has a button that makes you useless?

Tacklers have two speed debuffs, one of which has a very short cooldown (inhibitor beam, if I’m not wrong). Put that on first, and apply your target painter. If the recon vanishes, you still have your other speed debuff. The Mk3 inhibiter beam’s cooldown in T2 should be only 10 seconds, so it should come back online when the recon reappears (same for TP). Now that the recon has already expended its phase modulator, you can safely slap on all your debuffs.
If the recon warps away… well, it’ll take a while before it comes back.
Meh. With the speed buffs applied it usually becomes an easy FREEZE medal.
