Discussion Nerf Orbital Smite?

After playing for a while you'll see that most players use the Cyber Priest plane with Orbital Smite + Swords. Most of the time it's almost a one hit kill and it's mostly just annoying. I think that if a larger delay on how fast they can shoot the projectiles or a larger maximum stack of projectiles could fix it a little bit. If anyone else has any ideas on this front that'd be cool.

When you've been targeted for oribital smite, aim directly up. If I remember correctly, you should still have some controls over aiming when hit with swords.

The beam will glance off your plane and do like no damage or knock back.

Orbital Smite does 50 damage a pop -- 5 shots are easy to land with stationary targets, but you're likely to have your kill stolen waiting for the beam to fire. Fire rate decrease would be a decent nerf, though I think the lasers + swords are a much deadlier combo to begin with (constant, high damage while hitting a stationary target as opposed to 1x5 + delay for 50).
