- Yukie's Guide to Pro Det: -prime 1
- Introduction to Pro Det: -prime 1
- Howdy y'alls, and welcome to the second installment of Yukie's pro anything guides. This article will talk
- extensively about the proper use of Thermal Detonators. Specifically, I will talk about the
- Combat Engineers using thermal detonators as a skill, but the technique can be used by any class who happens to pick
- up a pair of them. Now it's hard to TK anyone with thermal detonators unless they're really, really clueless. But
- mark my words: warn everyone that you're about to pro det: -prime 1 something before you go about doing it. If they're smart
- they'll move waaaaaaay out of your way
- This guide assumes that the CE (Combat Engineer) will be playing an "Army style" (ahem "roam style" or "marine
- style") game as opposed to a "dirty friggin' worthless noobhill camping" game. If you plan to play a noobhill (and all of its
- aforementioned decriptors) game then stop reading this guide, uninstall Warcraft 3, burn your computer, and kill yourself. Do
- it now. Pro Det: -prime 1 is only for Army style games.
- But what is Pro Det: -prime 1?
- Hehe... Pro Det is just what I call the incredibly psychotic use of thermal detonators in defeating bosses. A CE with pro det
- can defeat all kinds of bosses, if he's careful and intrepid enough***. In fact, in order to start using pro det, you pretty
- much have to be messed up in the head. But that's Okay, because as mental as we are, we get to blow stuff up. Lots and lots
- and lots of stuff
- The Basics
- Before you can even begin to learn pro det: -prime 1 in a game, you must first tell your fire team leader to type -tc 7.
- Being pink is critical to the pro det learning process.
- Now as starting off as a level 1 combat engineer, you will want to put your first point into Nanosteel net. Why Net? Well,
- most people max out engy skills to 5 first, but I find this to be somewhat wasteful. You're going to be needing net a lot
- more than you will be needing repair or detonation cord. At level 2 I tend to get energy processor, because the extra 15% in
- mana regeneration is all kinds of totally sweet (and pretty much required when you want to lay more than 1 thermal det to
- kill a boss) However some people may want to put a point into crit if they happen to find the Energy Cell early in the game.
- Lastly I level up engy skills all the way to 5, and after that's done I'll level up nanosteel net to 5. How totally awesome
- is -5 armor and 6 seconds of immobility? Don't even answer that.
- Whenever you're about to pro det a boss, make sure the entire team is behind you. If someone's running around behind the boss
- you will probably explode his nubcaek little behind to pieces. Besides, he can lure the boss in a different direction and
- totally screw up your pro det. So always forcefully yell at your teammates to move or you'll blow them up. Remember, we're
- deranged, so we don't care if we TK... it's for the good of the people. Their sacrifices (or failure to pay attention) will
- not be in vain!
- Lastly, as pro det users, we must always use the buddy system. In this case our best buds are the pancor jackhammer, or a
- teammate of which we can run to screaming "OMFG SAVE ME I'M BLEEDIN OW IT HURTS OMG SAVE ME THERE'S SO MANY."
- The problem with finding the pancor jackhammer is that it is incredibly elusive. In small games it can be very hard to find.
- That's why before going out to recon in the early waves, it is customary to pray to the gods and perform the ritualistic
- dance. In order to do this, stand in front of a civillian and make sure you two are facing each other. Now, try to jump over
- him, but make it too far so the game won't let you and say "Distance too great." Your marine will make the jump animation but
- won't jump, so he'll just keep doing the animation, suspiciously looking like he's humping the poor civillian in front of
- him*****. This is when you pray. It doesn't really matter what you tell them, but just make sure to be formal and polite.
- This is 100% scientifically proven to work. If you have your doubts, just ask PipeDream, who will confirm the validity of the
- ritual with boatloads of Quantum Physics equations you are guaranteed not to understand.
- The Specifics
- Thermal detonators cost 175 mana to use and have a gigantic blast radius. You can set the primer (time before explosion) with
- -prime x, where x is a digit from 1-9. They will deal 20,000 damage to all units within the radius after the allotted primer
- time. The blast itself is composed of 2 explosions that each deal damage. This is important because you want to trap bosses
- within both explosions in order to deal full damage. Note that explosions will always happen at the top of radius first
- before moving down. When picked up as an item, Thermal detonators come in pairs that can be stacked up to 5 in total. They
- work exactly the same as the skill.
- The Strategy
- Dets have a wide variety of uses. Aside from blowing up bosses, you can use them to blow up parasite spores or caves. A total
- of 5 parasite spores will spawn randomly on the map and there are a total of 6 caves of which zulus can spawn. Blowing up the
- spores means less parasites will spawn from them (if you get them all, you will receive bonus EXP and you will no longer have
- to deal with parasites) and blowing up caves means less zombies will spawn (and bonux exp). Be sure to use -prime 9 when
- blowing these up because it's always better to be safe then sorry. It is, however, less efficacious to actively seek caves or
- spores during the misson... instead it is probably in your best interest to only blow them up when you are passing by and
- have the time.
- Pro Det: -prime 1 Strategy
- How to defeat bosses with thermal detonators.
- The trick in laying thermal detonators is understanding how the explosions occur. After the detonator has been planted you
- will have 1 second to move out of the blast radius. 1 second, however, isn't enough to escape the total blast radius of the
- detonator. The trick to surviving is that the explosions will occur at the top portion of the radius first before blowing up
- the entire circle. So move directly downward in 1 direction (moving diagonally or changing routes will waste too much time
- and lead you to certain death). In effect, you will be narrowly escaping the blast radius before the explosion reaches its
- very outer limits.
- A typical pro det will first involve activating sprint, then netting the boss, planting the termal, and running like hell.
- Activating sprint before you even run up to plant the det is essential because you don't want to waste time hitting Z + T
- when you have 1 second to run for your life. In the later waves your net can hold a boss for 3 or more seconds, and this can
- prove to be an invaluable asset in reaching the final boss. For instance, by the time loki comes around you should have net
- to level 2-3, which should buy you just enough time to SMAW him. It is probably in your best interest to save mana and use
- SMAW instead of thermals to defeat Loki.
- Pro Det: -prime 2 Strategy
- In situations where you are unable to plant the thermal and run directly downward, you will have to use -prime 2 (you will
- probably use -prime 2 67% of the time). The strategy is the same, but in this case you will have just enough time to move in
- any of the cardinal directions (east, west, north, south) but remember to move in a straight line. -prime 2 should only be
- used in conjunction with level 2 or more net (unless dealing with slow targets such as the flesh composite) because most
- bosses will be able to run out of the radius as well. With prime 2, it is in your interest to try and run directly upward. If
- the boss should follow you up, the blast radius will hit him sooner since thermal det explosions always start top to bottom.
- Once you have a good awareness of the blast radius this will become very easy. Your pro det can be facilitated with a Machine
- Gunner carrying a M240 Machine Gun and U-238 ammo who can "permastun" (that is, keep the boss constantly stunned so that he
- is rendered immobile) the boss, or a (imba) Delta Operator who has U-238 ammo. Note that you can safely run away from the
- blast radius without sprint, however, it's just easier with the movement bonus. A Delta Operator or Force Recon with sprint
- can get away with Pro Det: -prime 1 if he is very confident. An Infantry Unit Leader who can cast tactical stance on you
- would be helpful as well.
- Note that due to Moirae's high resistance, you will have to use two thermal detonators + 10 chain explosives in order to
- defeat him. Plant the first detonator to hurt him, then move on and plant the chains. You will have to wait until he's nearly
- over the chains before netting him and planting the thermal. -prime 1 is the best way to go about blowing up moirae, but if
- you have a stronger level of net, then feel free to prime 2.
- Eris is probably the smartest boss in the game, because she will actually run outside of the thermal detonator radius. You
- need level 5 net to even attempt to pro det Eris, and you want to use -prime 1. Otherwise feel free to just smaw her and
- rapid fire. Pro det is cooler though.
- You will have to use your judgement in avoiding civillian casualties and the destruction of item boxes. It is also not in
- your interest to lay detonators when there are several other zulus near your boss, lest you want to be poisoned (thus having
- movement speed reduced) or given the proverbial Discharge of GG (short circuit. Otherwise known as "RANDOM CHANCE FOR YOU TO
- DIE"*******).
- *** "A fool knows no fear. A hero shows no fear."
- ***** AZAZEL DON'T FIX THIS BUG, YOU WILL ANGER THE NOTD GODS!
- ******* It is scientifically proven that the ritualistic dance for the NOTD Gods will give you 100% "Discharge of GG"-free
- games.
- By the way, all of the screenshots except for the -prime 1 ones are from 1 game . This just goes to show how much a CE can
- rule if he has pro det. Basically, he makes the FO totally useless in smaller games
