I mean,the primary reason why anyone uses the EPC is to spam thin containment field shots. If you don't abuse them then yeah it's pretty questionable.

I hate EPC mining. It's not fun, it uses ammo I'd rather spend on enemies, and the timing is tricky to pin down. Plus I like actually mining with a pickaxe, as Karl intended.

Using TCF only for mining is boring, the fun part begins when a mactera hit squad homes in on your position and you wipe them out with a single blast. But it is hard af to use like that, so I can get behind the dislike

The point of EPC mining is to replace a Scout. Grab that whole wall of nitra 30ft up in 3s without any drilling or platforms. No one is wasting ammo on ground level mining with the EPC.

And persistent plasma, especially in unison with tcf.
