The Slasher suffers from the same problem as any other skirm that can hit raiders - it's impossible to balance. It outranges raiders, assaults, and riots, and hits all of them. If you nerf it into being a balanced unit, then it's useless except in groups of 20 when fighting a lab that can't muster assaults.

Skirms are the toughest units to balance, and their ability to fight raiders makes them worse - almost every skirm has been the "omg OP" unit at one time or another... rockos, buoys, slashers, samsons, recluses, etc.

The Slasher is one of those units that probably can't be balanced just by tweaking some numbers, it needs new gameplay.

@Skasi - I agree about the "packup" time. Any unit that can't fire while moving needs to be static for its full weapon cooldown-time, and a little extra for a "packup" time. This means that microing it is a real tactical decision because you *seriously* lose firing time when it's moved, so then it uses the same amount of micro as an autoskirming unit.
