But if you can close with the capper from nitron/disc/disc instead of nitron/disc/nitron, you still have two nitrons to force the flag drop as opposed to one, and a more viable discjump after if you need speed to get a return.

Nitron/disc/disc? I assume you mean with the twinfusor? It's going to have do deal less than 300 self-damage per shot for that to work with lightweight. And having to perform three impulse jumps to catch up is highly problematic -- by the time you finish three jumps, the capper is going to be halfway home. This is one of the reasons why egocentric sucks for chasers. _________________ fireb0rn's Pathfinder Chasing Montages - click fireb0rn's YouTube Channel - click

Nah, people will just go quick draw and give up on chasing fast grabs, as many already have. There's no point in specializing in chasing for a 10% chance of success when you can specialize in LD and potentially enable your HoF/sent to have a 100% chance of success. Egocentric is way too bad, and Lightweight will probably be even worse if the change goes through. Most viable options will be to use QD or switch to soldier/raider LD. _________________ fireb0rn's Pathfinder Chasing Montages - click fireb0rn's YouTube Channel - click
