Has the weapon specific damage dealing been switched? The AR seems to now be more effective against shields and less against armor, while the laser across the map is making my 755 hp of armor go down faster then a slow scout. I know the its finally making its come back as a practical force on the battlefield, but im not the only one who thinks they should turn down the lasers juuuust a little. Its all around dps is almost ridiculous now. Also, not complaining about the SR itself, just the fact that again an energy weapon is doing more damage to armor then the AR. This wasn't the way these weapons were originally balanced and I don't see why CCP would change them. It really seems to me like a mistake rather then an intentional adjustment.

I can't comment on the Ar but since the laser builds up power the longer you hold the trigger it can appear to blast armour better than shields but really it doesn't - The initial output is less so appears to do less to shields, then builds after the shields have gone and so more armour is damaged.

ARs have always done more damage to shields. 110% to shields, 90% to armor, this is because they are blaster tech, which deals a lot of thermal damage and a bit of kinetic damage. They are taking out armor slower because it got buffed while hit detection got buffed as well, making it do more damage to shields.

but ive noticed I need more armor now. like everything is less resistant, especially armor and especially against energy weapons.
