LoLoL just played an ambush and dropped a 36-3 with my laser.
No recoil, Nice scope, great range.
I find it really hard to believe the OP lol |

The races of New Eden have combat philosophies that work, in any setting. Why would the Gallente change something that works because they are on the ground? They use high DPS blasters at really close range, the AR should reflect this.
If the AR behaved like it should , it would be no less effective than it currently is, just more niche, like all of the other weapons in the game. The current AR is an amalgamation of the GAR, the Combat Rifle and the Rail Rifle, but without any of their weaknesses.
BS. Why do people want to cherry pick physics? Add bullet drop to everything and give me a mirrored dropsuit ward off lasers then. Modern day military weaponry can travel well over the distance of any map we play on. The Lore argument needs to stop now. The goal isn't balance by lore it is balance by functional game mechanics so just stop. EVE is balanced. Really well. Also mirror covercovered dropsuits wouldn't work for anything other than visible light.
Eve is a tab shooter and Dust is an FPS
I hope I don't need to explain the difference 
This whole niche argument needs to stop |

LOL what is balance when long range weapons dont kill at long ranges? xD
Is that what I said?
I believe there should be niche weapons in game, but not to the extreme that some of these players want. Basically, the OP is appalled that his laser lost a gunfight with an AR. To him, it should be cut and dry rock, paper, and scissors. Laser must always beat AR at optimal. He does not take in account for strafe, aim, or terrain.
Furthermore with the above posts, most of this community is pushing for weapons that should win because its a counter and not because of their aim or skill. This line of thinking need to stop.A niche weapon should be the deciding factor when both players are of equal skill.
Lastly, the only reason I am in this thread is because I recently skilled into the laser, and I find it absurd that he has an issue with the weapon. The Laser is great at its niche, and I would even argue to great. |

I made up a fit with a duvolle and went something like this:
Amarr logi A/1 series
Duvolle AR
Breach SMG
Locus grenades
3 basic shield extenders
2 enhanced armour plates
Basic armour repper
Totals: 465-ish armour, 203 shields, and an armour rep rate of 7.5
I went 21-3 using this fit In a dom match.....only actually died once, got revived the second and third times.
I find this funny, when you go 1-7 against good competition. How can you compare weapon balance and skill based on public matches. |

Good for you. In its scoreboards in public matches nothing special. |
