With an overheat AR gunbattles will be more tactical and not Todays blink and you die.
It will also create tactical choices on when to shoot instead of the twitch shooter we have now.
TTK is way too short with folks dieing too fast and we need a way to live a bit longer.
I never really understood why they added the overheat to the scrambler weapons but not to the plasma/blaster weapons it makes no sense. And why have SCR and AsCR an overheat but not the Scramblerpistol?
The whole weapon technologies aren't consistent in that regard. As it seems CCP randomly throws characteristics throughout the different weapon technologies to create some diversity... |

Which Duvolle is able to out DPS a large proto blaster, regarding the numbers I know thats not the case... |

On a more fun note, you could have a 0.07% chance to jam with every bullet, requires a reload to fix!!
Reducing the clip size is a tricky one because of the AsCR it would become all of a sudden way superior to the AR and the AsCR should only mimic the AR  |

Sure there are ways to balance this but you have to do a lot of balance work :). In Dust right now all High Rof weapons have a large clip what makes sense in some way. If you want to change that you could lower the clip zize on all HROF weapons or you need other ways to balance that.
I think its easier to give the GAR its intended role: High DPS short Range that would seperate the GAR more from the other weapons. In theorie the GAR should be the most efficient Assault rifle in Dust as according o CCP the assault tree is the strenght of the gallente.
Nerfing the hell out of it and keeping all the other variant untouched is wrong... |

Now if they are indeed both rifles, then the racial profiles can be properly set up.
Gallante - HROF, HDPS, 15m optimal
Minmatar - HROF, MDPS, 30m optimal
Amarr - MROF, MDPS, 50m optimal
Caldari - LROF, HDPS, 70m optimal
Then all rifles will attempt to mimic each other, but still stay true to these core values!! Thats how it ought to be!!
I am not sure but the Caldari Rifle should have High Alpha damage with low Rof giving it medium to low overall dps. A high dps weapon with high range seem wrong to me.
Regarding your Range table 15m is less than the range of a smg right now...
I guess the following would fit better:
Gallante - HROF, HDPS, 30m optimal
Minmatar - HROF, MDPS, 45m optimal
Amarr - MROF, MDPS, 60m optimal
Caldari - LROF, LDPS, 75m optimal |
