AOE, explosives that cover a wide range like the Mass Driver, the Grenades, the Missiles and Railguns.
Spray weapons, where accuracy over time is more important than accuracy at any one time like Assault Rifles, SMGs, HMGs, Laser Rifles and Blasters.
Then we have Precision weapons, where each shot counts, where the design prohibits spray such as Sniper Rifles, Scramblers, Tactical Assault Rifles and Scrambler Pistols.
To those of you who don't use these weapons, you may feel they are OP if, for example, a TAR or Scrambler user has a modded controller to increase fire rate to Spray levels, or a Charge Rifle OHKs you by tagging you in the abs. To those who use them, like myself, we wish we had a reason to aim for vital points like the head. It's just not worth the risk of missing when you're torso is such an appealing target.
To those of us who use Precision Class weapons I ask of you, would you take a slight damage nerf in exchange for a greater headshot multiplier? Look at the Scrambler Pistol, with a 3.5x bonus to headshots. Use it as a Spray weapon and you'll be respawning more often than a fresh player in a ProtoStomp, but use it to plug heads and you become a huge threat. Would you like to see that principle applied to the Sniper, TAR and Scrambler Rifle.
Nope Head shots with my ScR charged bolt kill instantly away why should I care about dirty gallentean weapons when all that matters it that the Amarrian weapons are balanced. |

Can't tell if trolling..... Balancing all weapons is important in and of itself, but see my other thread for why the Scrambler needs abit of tuning. Also, it may kill some targets instantly, but WHICH targets? Are those targets equivalent with the Scrambler's metalevel, or are you popping Militias? Or Caldari for that matter, SCR gets a nice shield bonus so you shouldn't really count them :p
Wait you think the ScR needs tuning.... its a sad day when the only off the back balanced weapons is being bitched about.
EDIT- I can effectively kill things of advanced tier or lower, but against proto with my advanaced SCR the best I can do is deplete shields a little. |

The Scrambler Rifle needs to have abit more range and a better scope, like the TAR does, as it is the racial weapon that exemplifies the Tactical Rifle, whereas the TAR is the Gallentean knockoff. The Blaster having a better scope and range makes no sense from a gameplay or lore standpoint.
.... You want it buffed... sir I had you wrong. CONTINUE THE CRUSADE.... any who I like the current sights I wouldn't mind a breach variant with a scope like that though. |
