Were trading a decent at best skill for a useless one.

Really? My hmg kicks all over the place, and i have proficiency 4, so it isn't my skills, it is a very inaccurate weapon past 30 meters

Hold down while aiming, its very easy to controll the recoil. Also, im not worried about overheating my hmg, im worried that it will limit the ammount I can shoot at once, essentially limiting my abilty to kill as many people as I can with the reduced heat build up skill we currently have. I think if there going to remove it then we need a skill that will accually help the HMG like increased range or reduced spread.

We'll just have to see. In my opinion this is a huge buff, sometimes that added recoil is so extreme that you will have to stop firing for 5 seconds just so it calms down. Trust me this is a buff, this will only make us stop shooting an extra 50 bullets sooner. and the heat goes away so fast anyways. (Unless you overheated)

*DROOL* I think I may have just ruined my pants. no longer will I need to crouch just to hit someone at 40+ meters!

Accually as soon as you let go the recoil resets and its a lazer again, and its 90 less bullets you can shoot now which is enough to kill between 1-3 people depending on their hp

Confirmed :-)

HHHMMMMMGGG

Fixed.

Nah dude, when you got that recoil maxed out after firing 200 bullets, it's crazy hard to control.

Are HMG cooldown is so fast you will only have to stop firing for like 2-3 seconds anyways. This isn't that big of a deal

W! T! F! Recoil has never been an issue for me, it is extremely easy to control and it helps hitting targets from chest to head. While first starting speccing into HMGs, overheating was my BIGGEST issue because I like to charge into fights and get killstreaks matching orbitals. Now instead of worrying about being on target, I have to look at the bottom of my screen and hope I am not missing. This is bull...I am foreseeing myself spamming 'Respec' threads.

Exactly!

I propose a change to Sentinel bonus: Reduction to weapon heat buildup by 5% per level. Increase in heavy weapon reload speed by 2% per level.

With this change, they need to name the proto HMG the 'Fragile HMG' because boundless sounds like you can shoot it forever

I like this idea, but i think we should change it so the sentenial bonus effects all heavy weapons, this would only effect the hmg, but the racial heavy bonus for one of the heavys (probably minmatar) could get this.

Accually you will because the spread will still be the same

Since the Sentinels are hurting on the high slots it is a shame that 2% couldn't be turned into a bonus for Heavy Weapons Damage. There is something fundamentally wrong when the basic frame type is better than the specializations.

Exactly!
