I am training all weapons to level 3 on my main, would rather do that than super specialize in AR, even if's my strongest skill.
Threw scrambler up to 4 for assault scramblers, and had fun, really overheat fast, needs getting used to.
But yes, I also run a decent Advanced heavy fit with HMG, and when I do, stay in cover, don't even think about engaging at more than 30 meters, but I love Domi defending with flux and HMG.
Given those circumstances it's easy to have fun and go 15/5 or so, which is my benchmark for being useful and having fun.
Also, there is a strange over-confidence of AR users that is fun to exploit, let them see you for a bit out of cover, get shot at range and return a little fire, they see they don't take much damage, and come closer.
Had a lovely kill just like that last night, where I just did a little strafing around a crate yesterday, and suddenly unged into melee range and basically one shotted him in the first blast. Fun times.
A lot of maps don't really support that playstyle and then I do something else |

A lot of maps don't really support that playstyle and then I do something else this is a mistake ^^ you need to specialize into your first weapon, by all means once your core skills are done and you are wearing a solid proto suit start to branch out, but without specialization in at least one weapon you are handicapping yourself drastically, and this is coming from a guy who did the exact same thing pre-uprising.
Strictly, it is a mistake if I can only enjoy the game by maximizing my efficiency. I'ts not a mistake if I like playing different roles on the battlefield :)
But don't worry, I began by going proto gallente assault with most of the cores at 4 and 5 and L5 AR specialization, it's just that the final level fives are incrementally less fun than trying out a less efficient playstyle (I even spent some on my poor Baloch  ).
But hey, they can be worth it, my final L5 PG skill yesterday let me upgrade most of my fits by approx two enhanced modules to prototype, so that was definitely fun
