So much rage. So much leetness. It appears the pros are at their game. So level 30 is high. That is interesting. Tell me more. So I heard 90k damage is much. That is interesting. Tell me more. What exactly would level 100 enemies then be to you? What exactly would 300k damage then be to you? I just want the legit opinion of a definite pro.

Meanwhile, for newbs like me and pretty much everyone else who doesn't consider 30 "high level" and for those other newbs like me who have played more than one frame so far because we're so newb-like, we have to, like, test other frames, Radial Javelin is among the shittiest abilities in the game, next to Soul Punch, Smite and Psych Bolts. But that's only because we are n00bs and need our abilities to have either fast cast times, high damage output, crowd control or at least AoE because we lack the uber 1337 skillz to stay alive during a four second time of stationary vulnerability with a squishy frame.

"Balanced" means you need positive aspects among the negative ones. If your momma is fat, she's not balanced, she's just fat. She needs to at least be able to fit through a commonly sized door to be considered "balanced". Half of the other ultimate abilities or more are twice as powerful. Of the frames I've gotten to know so far, only Volt is a sucker in that regard. Rhino's Stomp has CC, AoE and is faster. Ember is mobile. Nyx is extreme. Valkyr is invulnerable. Trinity is super-invulnerable. Nova does not need a mention. Vauban has incredible CC and spammability. Loki has extreme CC and AoE for highest levels. Frost has proper CC and AoE. Mag has some CC and AoE. Even Oberon, that little gay reindeer has proper AoE and some CC and drops loot and can spam.

If you had ever actually played the game past your usual 5 minute rushes, you would have noticed how much worse this ultimate is in comparison to everything else there is. I guess you have never used Radial Blind. And Slash Dash is still a high damage spell to you with which to kill your average rank 30 Grineer-I-Joe.

What Radial Javelin needs is an average cast time (without Natural Talent), innate punch-through and increased damage to be feasible as a mid-level area damage spell and to compete with far better ultimates like Rhino Stomp.

But go ahead and boast about what awesome clan you're in and how you're the best scorer in Middle Earth.
