You realise this is the case for a lot of weapons, yeah?
Widening the gap between STD and PRO is not what's needed in Dust right now.

there's a noticeable difference for alot of weapons when it comes to comparing their standard versions to their proto versions.

A forge is quite a bit weaker when compared to the proto version.

An Exile has a noticable damage output when compared to the proto version.

Swarms have an extra missal

SMG's are mini monsters when fully upgraded

Scramblers are nearly identical on each of their levels. All I ask is that the higher leveled versions are given a larger heat gauge so they can produce more shots before overheating. That's all. Since they don't have that, I see no reason to use a scrambler rifle at a higher level, other then maybe wanting to use the assault version.

To be honest the difference between tiers in the Scramble Rifles (assault and charge-shot) are not quite as much as with other weapons. I can use a CRD-9 and then a Carthum Assault and not see the same difference I see between a militia and a duvolle or even a Gek. I'm not saying the damage should be increased for SCRs but there should at least the same differences across the board.

The semi auto SR is already powerful ewnuogh as it is, it does not need a damage buff. but rather a heat gauge buff. I want to fire more shots without having it overheat. They're supposed to be more refined, so Giving the core of the weapon a little more control would technically make sense.

Reducing the heat build up of the Imperial Scrambler Rifle would make it way OP. The extra damage is more than enough.

Be Amarr Assault and stop asking the Devs to change something just for you.

the extra damage isn't even noticeable. Hell, I would trade that extra damage in for a few more shots.

Amarr assaults are too squishy.

amar assault only effects LASER heat build up, not scrambler unfortunately.

The only reason anyone would pick the proto class over the standard is the extra 9 damage it can dish out. It's heat gauge/ build up are the same. Accuracy is a little higher, but its not that noticeable anyway. I have taken the proto version off of my proto suits, and replaced it with the standard, and there is little to no difference between the two.


Higher tier semi auto scrambler riffles need more incentive to be used. The standard one can **** shields, and tear through armor like butter at nearly the same rate as the proto SR can.

No. I think it's fine as is. What they need to work on is getting the charge shot to work and actually connect instead of it having a strange sort of lag. Anyone else have problems with the charge shot?

I love how you base this off public level performance

There does seem to be a problem where this weapons shots simply do not register. I always had a hunch there was, but then one day I got up to an oblivious sniper and charged a shot right into his skull and nothing happened. Followed up with single shots and nothing happened. Switched to my sidearm and he died.

Never have problems with stationary targets but when I try to hit a charge shot against a moving target they never register, however my uncharged shots hit moving targets like 80% of the time.

Sometimes my charge shots actually take a while to deal damage. Like 5 seconds will go by and then I see enemy shields drop. It's strange and part of the reason I switched to AScR.

I have such a difficult time with the AScR. I try to put them on all my lolmando fits but the dispersion kills me.

Like #2 said, it is like this for alot of weapons. Have you noticed the gap between a militia and Duvolle assault rifle?

Then get over it, they aren't going to change anything.

*bows down to almighty Planetary Conquest elitist*

My opinions are unworthy! My opinions are unworthy!

More damage is typically why people use the prototype versions.

Also the extra damage may not seem like much, but amplify it by the proficiency skills and the charge shot bonus and it is a very substantial bonus. From experience I can tell you it makes a huge difference, the difference between one shotting a high tier enemy and not in many cases.

I am glad you're starting to respect your Holy Prophet. Maybe PIE does have a place in ReGclamation

The dispersion is a *****. I run Amarr Logi so I'm fine with just getting like 30 assists and 6 kills a match lol.

Amarr Logi for life!

Fixed

For some reason I want laser turrets now.
