Yup that's the worst, why does blaster tech out DPS a laser at its optimal? |

No the point of this thread is not to use dirty Matari tech, but the glorious laser of our grand empire. |

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
Its happens no matter how good you are mate, eventually someone out DPS's you at extreme range. |

Well yeah it should be out gunned, but never outranged. |

Short Range High DPS. The kind of Gun that if you get into Optimal Range, you are going to die unless you can kite your way back out.
Minnies are the Short to Mid Range
Amarr Mid to Long
Caldari Long Range |

The Laser is the idiot Light Weapon. Just brush over an enemy for 1 second and you can kill (After SP is put into it). There's no recoil, you don't have to aim, and you're effective from over 100m(No AR can reach that).
Perhaps you weren't playing against some scrub? Perhaps you're initial aim needs work? Perhaps you need a better suit layout? Perhaps you need to put more SP into the laser?
As far as I'm concerned, the Laser is more than adequate for its purpose.
Did it occur to you that my Laser Tree might be maxxed out? |

Bullshit, how did you let this happen? How the **** do you die in seconds! You guys have to be playing a different game because at 60meters an assault rifle shooting you is no more than a pie shooter at which point you could run the **** away and move yourself further back.
What is this PIE shooter? If it exists surely I should have it! |

Yup that's the worst, why does blaster tech out DPS a laser at its optimal? Because CCP does not think of it as a blaster, even though that's exactly what it's supposed to be. They made the mistake of calling it an assault rifle, which is what every noob will immediately gravitate to because of its familiar name and function. Shattering that comfort zone for the casual scrub is dangerous, so they will not fix it. It's a shame, because it could have easily had a lot more character to it. Seems like they shattered the comfort zone of evetards that think Dust is Eve. To add further, these are mercs, not ships.
Dust is in New Eden you ******* idiot.
Jesus you'd think some people would remember that.... pathetic. Just like we build all of our weapons in specific ways, so too do the Gallente, why would they change their combat discipline on the ground when it works so well in space? |

I hope you realize, that you just call it every FPS gamer in the world a Scrub. Not seeing the problem here.
Neither, the AR should be a CQC niche firearm, decimating all within its effective range, but outside that suffering under the fire of the Minmatar combat rifle, the Scrambler Rifle, and the Rail Rifle. |

OK stickbundle tell you what.
Why don't we just take all the EVE ranges and apply them to weapons so we can snipe from Molden Heath to Curse region? Would you be happy then?
Shut you mouth baby.
Hyper aggressive, emotionally challenged, and powerful feelings of inferiority compared to those of another fanbase. Ah, I get it. You must be 13. Isn't it wonderful that the internet can bring all age groups together like this?
Also you cannot snipe from Molden Heath to Curse.... that's Billions upon Billions of Kilometres..... umm how much did this guy say he knew about EVE?
More often than not the longest range you can get out to is 150+ KM..... |
