Feels more accurate, higher damage at range, faster reload, better sight, bigger mag, better recoil, cooler firing sound...
Is there anything besides ISK cost that makes the AR more attractive than the Assault Scrambler Rifle?

All rifles> AR
AR has the worst Aim down sights, worst range (probably same as the SMG) and has the most spread and less DMG per sec than its counter parts. Also, don't even try to kill anything beyond 30m, you cannot track it with AR nor can you hit it and nor can you even fking see it. |

Dispersion is the main problem and there is no sharpshooter skill to correct that.
I actually like the charge scrambler rifle better, but have been using the assault scrambler rifle a lot more recently because it simply fits better with my suppression style gamestyle in the Commando suit. And as a side note, just the other day I overheated on a CRD-9 for the first time without intentionally trying to.

The AR is a glorified paper weight now. The only suit I have it on is my uplink suit and that's because that suit is useless after I drop the uplinks and the AR is a Toxin to minimize the suits cost.
CCP: Is it the most asinine way possible to do this? Yes. Then that's how we're doing it.

It has practically no dispersion in ADS anyhow, at least none I notice and hipfire is tighter than the SMG.

Don't even compare AR to the SMG, the SMG is in a whole different league. The SMG is good unlike AR. |

if you have the skill the scrambler is better. The basic ar is hard to win with, but the Gek is easily one of the best weapons pound for pound. Price,cpu/pg/range/ammo/fire rate/sp reqs and skill tree make the gek easily an all around great weapon.

If a newberry entered the game right now and looked at posts pre Uprising 1.7, he would wonder why the noobs are complaining about the worst rifle.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Isnt it about time the AR got knocked down a peg. The AR has been FOTY (flavor of the year) for most players. Its nice to be killed by something else but the TTK has gone up so much. New guns + Damage mods > EHP

I don't really know about you, but to me ARs are way more accurate than ASCR, and absolutely have zero recoil while ASCR keeps a good dispersion...There you go, here's your drawbacks. Now, tell me why should I use anything else besides the Combat Rifle-

Please outline where the AR received a nerf. Sure the CR & RR are better overall but isn't that more of an issue considering how OP the AR was compared to all other weapons before the intro of the CR & RR, and before its very slight range buff. |

I have used AR / CR / RR / ScR, all automatic versions.
I personally find the AR as main all-around weapon, but when I need to kick enemies with more powerful weaponry I usually rely on the CR for short range fights, leaving the ScR for mid-range hoping that my enemy is not carrying a RR. I only use AScR when enemies rely almost only on Shields, because taking out enemy armors with that is a real pain! The RR is used for mid/long engages, on short range fights I personally find a lot of troubles using it. |

Ascr eats up ammo faster than it eats up opponents, and unlike it's charged cousin you will run out reserves without access to a hive.
It's damage profile is not balanced like the AR either, and in current meta is at (a seemingly slight, to be fair) disadvantage with the prevalence of armour tanking. When 1.8 hits, and assuming the stated changes to sentinel class bonuses make it through to the game proper, this will become more pronounced. I'm predicting that the AR and RR will rule the roost simply because they can apply damage equally to both defense types.
Which is not to take anything away from the ascr overall: it is a beast. But I recently moved back to the ar on my commando to compliment my scrambler and found it pretty solid.
A duvolle will still turn your clone to the consistency of muddy soup in a fraction of a second from within 60m. I still respect/ hate it.
Dedicated Commando.
So it's a good job KDR doesn't bother me, really.

The AR all in all is not a bad weapon, but it simply gets outclasses by any other rifle in Dust. So why use it? I have maxed all relevant skills in AR but now my weapon to go is the CR. |

I mean I was running with the GEK on the Gallante Scout, and it was hard to take down proto suits, extremely. Though with the Assault Scrambler Rifle I can take on people head on and come out of there looking nice.

I used to think the Assault Scrambler was AR on steroids, but it has a few deficiencies. Heat is a very minor one. Damage type is somewhat more pronounced (doing only 80% damage to armor kinda hurts at times). Hip fire is better than AR, but going fully auto at range, it has way more dispersion than an AR, especially on the back half of the clip (With the AScR the kick seems to build whereas with the AR it seems continuous).
Overall its a preference, but for my use, the added cost of the AScR isn't worth the benefit. I might as well use a GEK for half the price, or more realistically a CR or RR, which are in a higher league. |

Why you doing this to my UP AR?
It sucks right now. I'm resorting to the CR to effectively combat my enemies. It's to the point where every other rifle feels OP compared to the AR.

Seeings how the AR is still better than any non-Rifle in the game, that's a pretty sad statement. |

So what are you all saying? That AR is crap? I realize that CR is better, but is there such a big difference? I started playing 2 months ago in the era of AR and I have been skilling AR, are you saying that I have waisted my SP? Won't they nerf CR and RR in 1.8? If not, I could do with respec!! |

I'm still doing pretty well with the AR, but I will admit that it took a major hit. One can still kill with it, but you better work for those kills now.
Personally I'm using the CRD-9 with my profile dampened Amarr Assault to prepare myself for the Amarr Scout. Should have complex dampeners by tonight :D
