My point about the Assault Rifle was simply that it is easy for anyone to hit the maximum DPS and that it's recoil doesn't even stand in the way of that. Anyone can hold the trigger and occasionally pulse it at a distance. As for the Scrambler Rifle, it's not OP in most player's hands, especially on its own. Yes, you can make it OP, especially with the Amarr Assault. The maximum DPS is indeed double; I have stated it myself several times. The DPS of the Imperial with 2 Complex Light Damage Modifiers and Proficiency 5 is over 1200, and the Duvolle is over 600. Most players cannot hit this. Really, my suggestion for a rebalance would be to nerf the Amarr Assault's heat bonus and cap the fire rate on the Scrambler. The only problem with the Scrambler Rifle is its RoF, which makes its DPS in situations like those posted dependent on how fast you can mash the trigger. Differing controllers, such as turbos or even mice, significantly change the players DPS profile.

Cap the RoF to what most players can realistically achieve and don't make it so that using a certain suit allows you to fire for substantially longer, and you wouldn't end up with that. Most players I see are not like that.

With my soon to be completed Amarr fit, I'll be ready for war in Uprising 1.7

It's not actually always like that, for example, the laser rifle. It's damage is hard capped directly after it's optimal which is pretty ****** in my opinion

D Tac damage per bullet: 78.5
Imperial Scrambler Rifle damage per charge: 79.5?

Accuracy of D Tac: Zero recoil, 100% perfect accuracy ADS or hipfire unless on the move but still accurate
Imperial Scrambler Rifle: Zero recoil, 100% perfect accuracy ADS or hipfire unless on the move but still accurate

Sights of D Tac: A nice ACOG scope with a small zoom but loses preferential vision
Sights of Imperial Scrambler: A red dot sight with an insignificant zoom but retains preferential vision


Clip size of D Tac: had a clip of 36.
Clip size of Imperial Scrambler: 45? But can overheat. Not sure how much it effects the Imperial, but hinders the standard version

Rate of fire of D Tac: Rediculas
Rate of fire of an Imperial Scrambler: More rediculas. Wish i was in front of my PS3 to determine the exact ROF

Both do more damage than tank blaster turrets with a damage mod and max profficentcy, but the SCR gains a bonus to sheilds and a debuff to armor. Admitively, it doesent matter if your armor speced you die quickly ethire way but its death to shield suits. Well, faster death. The D Tac killed everyone just as quick and everyone was screwed, but they were screwed equally.

So the orginal D Tac was indeed OP AF, and it got nerfed pretty good. But the SCR has the same stats as the orginal D tac except it fires faster, has more ammo & clip, murders shields faster, does slightly more damage in general and has an overheat function. Not entirely sure how much that effects the later variants, but it effects the standard rifle. Then again, i have the absolute minimal stats to get standard so i geuss it wont matter much at imperial.

So we cried the D tac was OP because it was, so why hasent the SCR been balanced yet? Is it because not every single person in the game is using them yet, like it happened with the D Tac?
P.S, im gona use it here and there untill its nerfed. it really doesent matter at this point

On paper, the SCR seems OP. But most everyone who says that isn't an SCR user. I suggest using it first.
Yes, it can kill an enemy in a fraction of a second, if the player has good aim. Aim assist won't help you with the SCR, you'll overheat before the aim assist can take hold. ARs are just as effective, as are MDs, and Sidearms. All other light weapons suck though.

Try the SCR and if you can perform better with it than an AR, or whatever weapon you usually use, then perhaps it is idiotically OP.

Forge Gun is still the best gun in the game because its OHK every time it hits you. But nobody complains about that...

If the SCR gets a range buff than it will be OP as f*ck. It doesn't need a range buff. Everyone has told CCP not to do it, but of course they don't listen to reason.
