As an AR user, I have to agree. They are A LITTLE overpowered.
Easy solution.
Breach variant: High damage, slow ROF, short-ish effective range. It's fine, no need to touch.
Tac variant: High damage, low ammo capacity, semi-auto, higher effective range. (but still lower range than laser) It's fine.
Burst variant: This weapon could use a little love. I'd say give first 3shot burst more accuracy. Subsequent bursts what it currently has. HOWEVER, even if left as it is, it's ok.
Regular variant (GEK38/Duvolle/etc): This is the main culprit of what ppl are complaining about. Easy solution. Lower its ROF. Currently its 750, drop it down to around 650.
This fixes many things.
A. It makes the Breach/Burst variants more viable options to the regular AR. (since by nerfing it, you are inherently buffing the other versions)
B. This makes all the other CQC weapons viable options. By lowering ROF to 650, you are raising the TTK. This makes shotty, SMG, HMG, etc all MUCH more effective against AR in CQC situations. Still balanced, because the CQC weapons lose potency at range pretty quickly.
C. This fixes the "DUST is turning to a COD shooter" argument since TTK is raised.
This would make the AR the "jack of all trades" weapon it should be, while not quite the master of all. |

PS.
If you think that dropping the ROF to 650 is overkill. You may be right. I'm always up for debate. After a little more thought, I'd say drop the ROF to 675. (an even 10% change) This would be a good starting point. CCP can always fine-tune from there. |

Actually, the TAR has better range than both the Laser weapons. In fact, the Regular does too.
Not so, someone just did a chart demonstrating how the Laser does the most damage at longer range.
I believe it was Aeon Amandi. The Tac is better up until around the 70-80m range (if I remember correctly) but the laser outclasses it beyond that. |

The AR just needs a MINOR adjustment. Mostly to the militia/std variants. (but even the Gek and Duvolle could have their TTK raised by a couple %)
I say this, but am also worried that if CCP decides to actually go thru with a nerf, that they will OVER nerf the AR. |
