You are not doing it right.

teach me in the ways of the mighty, o great one

yep.. im doing something wrong... cause i have no idea what preheating is

Wow you must suck with the things them.

I'm not even good at this game yet I'm getting games at 20/2 or better with that thing.

Amarrians always are better with their own technology that heathen scum.

Sorry in hind sight that sounds so condescending and arrogant.

You don't need Proficiency, or the Amarr Assault.

All you need to get the most out of the Laser is a couple of Damage Mods, and a keen sense of timing, since the LR is all about timing and dictating the range of the engagement.

So the laser can be used in a couple key ways, I have seen more but these are the primaries.

But first you have to understand that the laser works over a period of time, doing very little damage on initial contact and that damage builds up progressively more and more as you hold down the trigger to build up heat, reaching damn near insane levels of damage in the last second before it over heats. Also bear in mind the overheat and lock up is insane on this gun, 225 points of damage to you and a 6 second lock down timer. Also the beam has a weak zone, withing say 25m and a outside or say 120+ M

Now the laser can be used in the following ways

Stand ad Deliver- Firing the Laser in the standard manner, focusing on one or two targets, initially wounding targets with the low DPS beams, and finishing them off with the late firing high DPS beam.

Burn and Deliver- Charging the beam against some piece of terrain, with the intent to build up the damage and suddenly kill with high DPS beams your intended target, you usually do this when there is only one target available to shoot, or your target knows where you are and has shots on you, so that you pop out, punch a hole in his face, and duck back into cover.

Staggered Fire- Less common but useful in conjunction with another allied laser rifle. The intent of this beam is to cover a longer period of time firing, but cutting your beams up into second or two second beams. This keeps your personal damage low but lets you firing for as long as you so desire before a reload. Marking, aiding, and finshing enemies in conjuction with your allies.

Since the laser fires a beam you want to be high up on the map, or using a ridgeline to lay down fire over open spaces. Sitting just off of objectives allows you to cover hack points as well. Suggest running a CQC side arm or AScR if you use a commando, and nanohives since ammo goes fast.

By the time I pre heat , ive wasted half my ammo...

*edit* not to mention the stock sub machine they give me melts players in like 2-3 seconds... what incentive do i have to sit there with a giant laser showing everyone where i am , doing nil dmg for a few seconds

I used to play the "I cant Aim for Sh*t" card until it was properly heated, then put a hole trough the guy, they fall for it everytime.

Yes the laser is terrible, I think all laser users can agree with me *wink wink* that is a bad weapon that needs a major buff.

I use the standard laser rifle, with no proficiency, with no damage mods, on a commando. I still destroy with the thing. You really don't need any investment at all to make it a devastating weapon, just an understanding for the optimal range and damage build up over time.

HA I started using Assault Rifles again :P Gallentian weapons FTW!

Yup and Ill still cut you down for 80+m away.

I used to have this rivalry with a heavy from my old corp, we wouldn't shoot eachother in games we met in..... but I broke that truce by singling him out with a grenade and a Duvolle rifle, after that he made it his personal goal to hunt me down every time he got the chance.... so I picked up my old laser to make sure he never got close to me.

He never did, I rarely killed him, but I would always force him to stay on the supply depots.

wat i haven't seen you in any matches except that one i was on your team



****.....My grammar reminds me of Bob's

yeah they should scale the damage and range between the laser elm and viziam

Ok im getting the hang of this...

Now that i have some armor that doesnt let me die within 3 bullets... and got the feel of the range on the laser... im actually melting people pretty well.. and im not even using any dmg mods or have proficiency ... just have prototype laser

I spoke too soon

And again, you don't even need prototype laser. Standard laser by itself, no damage mods or proficiency, can tear through even the meanest prototype suits.
