Go Super Reflexes and never get hit by them.
Go Electric Armor and herd them.
Every Scissors powerset combo has it's Rock that smashes it, and it's Paper that is rendered into ribbons by it. (That's a part of why I suck soloing in PvP zones.)
I hate those buggers, got hit by two in an ambush.
Don't tase me bruglk..why am I in the hospital?

Two in an ambush? Dang. In normal mission spawns set for x5, I can't get more than one at a time. |

I'm assuming you had it set for x5 or lower, so ambush spawns are crafted outside of normal spawning rules?
Just snipe them or mez them and they're no longer a threat. Getting two is unlucky, but that stuff happens with plenty of enemies.
I'd rather see something happen to redcaps.
Seriously. Running into those abhorrent little devils in a redside tip mission on my Nictus was painful. I popped a metric tonne of oranges and changed to Dwarf form.
A few seconds later I was dead. This was after using all my greens, too.
Those little shites are evil...

Warshades seem not to be. This may change with two more levels when Eclipse is fully slotted, either that or when I IO him....or maybe Human form is the way to go?
Either way, this was set to solo running. And I got mauled. Not cool.

*shrug* They suck. They've always sucked. You learn to deal with them.
With Malta I hate the stuns and the holds more.
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
R.I.P.
Chyll - Bydand - Violynce - Enyrgos - Rylle - Nephryte - Solyd - Fettyr - Hyposhock - Styrling - Beryllos - Rosyc
Horryd - Myriam - Dysquiet - Ghyr
Vanysh - Eldrytch
Inflyct - Mysron - Orphyn - Dysmay - Reapyr - - Wyldeman - Hydeous
Best solution is to beat the tar out of them first. Of course having 2 on your back could be a problem for sure, especially with a gunslinger wailing on you at the same time. Just be lucky that sappers are never the boss in the crowd.
No, don't nerf them! They work so well with Confuse!
Sappers are a nuisance. What is really, truly way overpowered these days are Malta Titans.
Currently doing the Crimson Story Arcs with the Malta. My level 48 Fire/Fire Scrapper can pretty much run through the Malta without too many problems but when I get an ambush when I enter the mish before I get a chance to turn all my toggles on, I am usually greeted by a Sapper and bam!! I get zapped and sure enough, I don't have any break frees available..lol and i usually wither up and die. Luckily I have my Rise of the Phoenix to knock some of these guys out.
The same holds true with my Blasters dealing with Sappers. Sappers can turn the tide on some mish'es if you don't take them out ASAP. They need to be the main "lock-on" target before you send the group in to kill everything else. Sappers are not bad and to be nerfed as the OP stated, they are just a foe that needs to be dealt with "head-on" before you move in for the other kills. Otherwise a team without endurance is a dead team.

And sappers already got nerfed into only one per spawn. There's bigger problems than sappers.

.... sooooooo.... why aren't you turning them on before entering the mission again?

Frankly, the most offensive thing I find about Titans is that rocket-barrage attack of theirs. The particle effects on that are so obnoxious and heavy-handed that it makes it impossible to see what else is happening, or even where the rockets are coming from. I'm not saying they hit softly, but the sheer volume of smoke put out can be incredibly annoying.

Are you sure there were two in the same ambush spawn, and it wasn't actually two spawns?|

If this happened to you in that hero tip mission that has an empty Longbow base where you talk to a guy and then you get hit by a ton of Malta ambushes, you've probably been hit by two separate spawns.
Running against Malta it's essential to have an adequate stock of inspirations. Carry several purples, greens, a break free and a blue at all times, and you'll be able survive most anything long enough to get away. You might have to flee the mission altogether, but you can almost always avoid getting killed if that's important to you.
Don't nerf them. I hate all malta's but we need something to hate. Actually I hate malta's more than anything in any game.

I was sad that I couldn't choose to go 'Screw morality, gimme!!' when an Arbiter ordered me to pilot one in a Rogue Morality mission....

At any rate, it was a tip mission. I had to save a diplomat or city council from the Malta. Walk in and it says something like, "You hope the bait is still alive," or some such.
I think I did end up getting hit by a spawn and an ambush. All I know is I was rocking the Malta. Invul/SS tank, snickering at their bullets then BAM the screen flares white from sapper hits and I suck floor.
My friend, who had never seen Malta before said, "What just killed us?" I said, "The hand of God." They said, "That's in the game?" I said, "Yep, they call them Malta Sappers."

Well, you know what you have to do, so get to it!
