It has its obvious disadvantages. How many people does it take saying so for you to understand that? It's perfectly balanced as is. Move around, clown. Purification. It's what I do.

Now that they use it with the input emulator it is the best weapon in the game. The current movement is to reduce the DS3 AR capability to compete. Oh and to boost tanks back to invincibility and make HMG unstoppable. CCP is not that stupid though. Thank God.

Like 90% of the people using it in cqc run the weapon into overheat in frantic moments and then die, even ive run it into overheat and died because i made mistakes. the old Tac had a clip of 30 and no overheat mechanic, just slap in a new clip and continue firing, your opponent has to be a real scrub to let you survive 5 seconds of overheat, though ive had cqc engagements where 3 opponents couldnt kill me before the the gun cooled down, then i murdered all 3. It wasnt my gun doing this, they got killed by their inability to aim for 5 seconds straight. Winner of the EU Squad Cup "Go Go Power Rangers!" "Accuracy"

Because getting dropped by a mass driver shooting 3 rounds in your general direction = balance Because getting 700 EHP dropped by a Militia AR in less time it takes to turn around = balance Because getting OHK by a forge from accross the map = balance Because getting OHK by any turret accross the map = balance Because getting OHK by any Locust = balance But hey, getting dropped by a SCR in less time to it takes to turn around = unbalanced.....

I won't be able to stay competitive with my weapon anymore, I'm going to say goodbye to my love (Tac AR, which will become completely obsolete) and join the Darkside (Rail or Scrambler). I will probably spec in both of them, so whatever gets nerfed, I will always have a powerful weapon to play with.

If they nerf the range of the TAC then they need to raise its ROF back. As far as the SCR, it will be balanced compared to the new weapons that are coming out. I doubt CCP is going to nerf anything because they seem to rather buff things instead which I think is the right path. Proud Sponsor of the United Lamp Post Defense Fund.

Unfortunatley, the nerf is confirmed https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=117279&find=unread I agree, it's completely wrong to buff the Scrambler AND nerf the TAC, but hey! It's CCP (I'm sorry for saying this, CCP, but I'm really mad at you)! -1.7 ranges: AR 42m -> 48m, TAR 65m -> 60m -Goodbye my love, Tac AR "I load my gun with love instead of bullets"

Without Amarr assault, it fires as many bullets as a TAC has in it's clip. With it, it fires as many as the old tac. *Oculus Felis Semper Vigilant* *Beta Vet* *Level 4 Forum Warrior*

O_o I didn't know I was part of the Dark Side. Heres hoping that the TAR is better in practice than in paper and you'll still be owning redberries and taking names, like you currently are Keri. But with that said, I will have fun running dual Scr or Rails with you :D The Sinwarden

I thought so too, but I told myself to look at my controller everytime I thought AA did something without me, and tada, my thumb was doing something without me thinking about it. Something similar to how people doing seance could swear they didn't move their hand, but they did it. 2. AA SHOULD exist. Controllers aren't accurate enough for shooters without a form of AA. All console shooters have it. COD, BF, Borderlands, EVEN PORTAL. That's right, portal has aim assist on consoles! magic! 3. If AA were to be removed, keeping M/K support would be unacceptable, turning a console shooter into a console PC hybrid where only people who connect a M/K can compete. *Oculus Felis Semper Vigilant* *Beta Vet* *Level 4 Forum Warrior*
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 2078	Posted - 2013.11.11 14:17:00 - [24] - Quote Scrutiny of the ScR suffers from the anthropic principle. When used poorly, the ScR is barely noticeable. It can't be spammed for few lucky hits, and if you miss with the charged shot you've just lowered your dps for the next 20 seconds by about 40%. But when it's used right, you will drop almost instantly to its opening volley, if not instantly to a well timed charge shot. It will not feel nice. You will feel helpless, maybe even wronged. Those are the encounters you will remember, that is the impression of the ScR you will carry to the forums, and you will overlook all those times when it barely scratched you. No.

What I say comes from the impressions I have from using it. I completely dropped my duvolle for my SCR, and for over a month and a half used it exclusively. I only return to the duvolle from once in a while because the sound it makes is more satisfying ;) My favorite tactic I developed: Burst fire: Charge up the shot, then unleash it onto an enemy, and keep firing two or three more shots. This kills anything but heavies, that require slightly more than two or three shots. This happens so quickly that most people see it as an insta kill, as the game has no time to react and show in the UI they have been hit. *Oculus Felis Semper Vigilant* *Beta Vet* *Level 4 Forum Warrior*

I just don't like it when it appears that someone is firing a semi auto weapon faster then it's auto counterpart.

Which overheats after 20 or so shots dealing 50 dmg (or so) and leaving you standing there with burnt fingers meaning anyone with half decent aim will kill you.

Do note that if the scopes stay the same something at 78m out its going to take a good aim to hit the moving dot, not sayin i cant but its not gonna be insta drops at that range. I do hope that for the reduced range the tac has, that it at least regains its previous rate of fire, clip size and its lower recoil while having a scope that zooms in more then the SCR's scope witch is just a glorified Reflex Sight. But we will have to see, i already have 1.8m sp banked for the Rail rifle, in case that gun is really good. Winner of the EU Squad Cup "Go Go Power Rangers!" "Accuracy"
