Does the warmup build calculates the damage? Or does the time you hold the fire-button down calculates the damage?

Time you hold the fire button = continuous fire = more damage. Heat doesn't increase damage, nor time beam is on target. The strategy here is to get that Amar assault suit skill to level 5 asap, so that you can hold fire button for longer time before overheat, which will have an increase in damage.

Description of the laser:

"but as the weapon warms up to mean operating temperature the wavelength stabilizes and the damage output increases significantly, producing a weapon of unmatched prevision and lethality in mid-range combat."

So the laser should do more damage when the thermal cavity is on the right temperature, not on how long you press that fire-button, so we don't need to reload when we are close to overheating but can just tap that button + it will make the cooldown more usefull too!

Are lasers broken?

No because you should never be tapping the button. You want heat to build up to its maximum levels.

Amarrian weapons are about dictating range in combat but also about controlling heat and over heat values.

Never go off the lore description of a weapon for how it actually works in gameplay. It does more damage the longer you hold down the trigger, it has nothing to do with the heat build-up.

Isn't all this the basic idea why they designed this weapon? and I thought people find lore important in this game?
