Short Circuit

Could we perhaps balance out the short circuit? It seems to always destroy hales especially in engie nests. Perhaps if u equip one then it would force you to have a mini sentry or something on that order?

I remember an old server of mine made it have a shorter stun time, and the times didn't reset.

i played on a server and it just made you only have melee as engineer if you had short cuircut or jag

Well the short circuit doesn't really work on Heavy bosses anyways, since heavies can still punch while stunned.
And even if you're spamming SC by a dispenser you'll eventually run out of metal anyways, it's just their own little freedom/support card that isn't really very unfair.

But that's the point of the short circuit. Why would you do such horrible thing!?

That is valves problem, we can't do much about it.

Not exactly. We can control how long it stuns the boss. In FF2 it's apparently set to 2 seconds, while in VSH it defaults 0 seconds.

Thoughts on making it match VSH?

How about 1 second in both?

Spamming short circuit by a dispenser? That's about the same result as spamming airblast by a dispenser, except the engi will eventually run out of metal.  Not many use it anyways it's fine as it is.

and thats the reason i rage engineers who have short circuts and i allways play soldier since there is nothing wrong or nerfed about him
