That doesn't change that lasers are the pwnzors if you have even halfway descent aim. I don't think lasers were designed to be front line killing weapons, but rather long range support weapons, slowly picking away at enemies and making it easier for allies to guide their fire.


there not frontline weapons at all....... i know because ive used them since they came out. Now are they overpowered?? I think the standard and ELM are fine, the viziam is a problem because of how the complex damage modifiers still arn't fixed. 20 damage a shot with two damage modifiers practically puts it at 25 dps, two seconds in and the laser is doing as much damage as a tacticle rifle with no recoil. People who get killed by the laser rifle were either caught out in the open where they shouldn't have been, or not paying attention and just standing there.

Whenever i get hit by a laser rifle i emediately find cover, and most times thats more then enough to survive them. I follow up with a counter laser, or i close in and use my SMG, but really, once the scopes are added back to the AR's it should be much easier for you people to deal with us. Last build, the tact rifles were pretty lethal against us LR users.....

Im agree i play scout shotgun and i have no problem with the laser but the arg of sleepyzan is good how about just buffing a bit the range what do you think of think of this marston?]]>

USE them...write down the efficiency ratings. The ranges where it does damage and how much. Then do that for your AR.
Bet 10 million isk you will STFU.

Stop feeling they are OP and look at the numbers.

Please.

As much as I agree with the sentiment you don't compare two totally different types of weapons and say, "Look it's balanced."

Ofc you'd think less of the laser if you used it like an AR. >_>]]>
